My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder in Romford, Essex. I offer a service to other parents who would like their children to be cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. After using a childminder with my daughter, I realised how much childminders offer to working parents and decided that I would love the opportunity to look after children.
As a mum of two, I understand what it is to find a good quality and reliable childcare. It is therefore my aim to provide a caring and stimulating “Home from Home” environment in which your child can grow as an individual. I am committed of getting the best out of all the children, by responding to their individual needs and building their self-confidence.
My setting offers care and education for children of all ages. Children who come to my setting are welcomed into a family atmosphere where they will be loved and cared for. Children will have many opportunities to play, create, learn, have fun and have clear routines and boundaries. Everyday activities such as: Play dough, finger painting, colouring, board games, books and creative artwork which children really enjoy and also learn new things whilst playing.
I will be taking children to places of interest in the community to enhance their development and learning; eg. local parks, playgroups, forests, libraries, kidspace, bowling, zoos etc.
Because I have my own family, my home and garden are a safe and happy place to suit the needs of little people. I have dedicated playroom with a range of age appropriate toys, together with a large garden complete with a selection of garden toys and swings for that much needed outdoor play. This is a non-smoking house.
I believe that parents are the first most important educators of their children and I am here to support your work with your child, working in partnership. I implement the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Although my 5 year old son stayed with Monika for only a short time, around 2-3 months or so, he really felt like part of the family. Monika and Beata are full of joy and my son had so much while he stayed with them. He integrated into the existing group of children very well and I felt he was safe, happy and in good hands the whole time he was there, nothing was ever too much trouble. I would definitely recommend Monika to anyone needing childcare in the Romford area.
