Horrible experience

Unable to settle 2 yo . My daughter was crying and couldn’t be settled only to see their front doors . I’ve been called off from work coz these 2 Andrea and her sister was unable to settle down my child
Mixture of children in different ages in the same group ( just to maximise profit I assume ) so 2 yo are expected to undertake the same activities as much older children which eventually led to their frustration. They have my 2 years old scissors to cut the paper !!!! No facilities only small living room and kitchen with big table . They’ll look down on you and make you feel like your horrible mother . Avoid these 2 like a plaque .

Hello Katarzyn! We are really sorry to read this review! Could you please remind us when you was attending our setting, so sorry but we cannot recall you? We are feeling very sorry that we have made someone feeling like that but it's difficult to comment as we don't recognise you. But yes we do encourage children use child safe scissors and other arts and crafts stuff to help their development. And yes we have different age of children and they will likely do same or similar activities but there is no expectations, our goal for each individual child to reach their individual progress. You probably will find most childminders works with different age children. And if you attended our setting than you probably are aware that we working from home and most activities are outdoors and we going for walks and trips every day. Please do get in touch with us so we can figure out which child we are talking about because at the moment we are in loss as we cannot remember any upset 2 year leaving us and we definitely haven't called anyone to pick up upset child. Wrong setting? Possibly? Thank you and we really hope we can solve this puzzle together :)

Disappointed

Unfortunately I’m being forced to update my last review. My daughter started attending little explorers by the end of June 3 weeks after I was is formed by childminder that she’s going abroad for 3 weeks planned medical treatment. Week ago I was told that “treatment “ will take longer than expected and therefore she must cancel our contract . My daughter is starting school this September so I was left with no childcare whatsoever for the summertime and I am working on 2 jobs . Since the “ health issues “ were so serious I understand the childminder knew about them long before she signed the contract with me . Why signing the co tract and then cancelling after 1.5 month ? I came to the conclusion that she only needed an extra money for holiday expenses . Do not sent your children there ! She’ll leave you with no childcare after a month

Hi Kat,

I understand you feel misled, and I apologize for any upset this has caused. I reached out to you via email to explain my medical situation, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive a response.

Medical issues often arise unexpectedly and require adjustments to plans. When I initially mentioned needing a break, I was unaware of the severity of my condition. Subsequent tests revealed the extent of the issue and the necessary treatment timeline.

I had hoped that my clients would understand that unexpected life events, such as medical issues, can arise.

If you have further comments feel free to contact me on my email.

5 * is not enough to say how wonderful this childm

3 floors of her amazing tiney house fully loaded with interactive interesting toys , books , Loads of activities, healthy home cooked meals , warm atmosphere. We’ve had 5 childminders before and only Yasamin showed us what does it mean to be devoted to children . If you are a parent looking for childcare don’t look anywhere else .She’s amazing !!!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with me. Thank you for your kind words. It’s my pleasure to work with “L”, that quickly absorbs anything we work together.
Looking forward to see you next week!
