We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our daughter, Emma. From the very beginning, she has welcomed Emma with so much warmth, kindness, and patience, making her feel safe, happy, and loved.
Emma is always excited to go to her, and it means so much to us to see how happy and confident she has become. She creates a fun, caring, and nurturing environment where Emma enjoys learning, playing, and exploring new things every day.
As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is in caring and trustworthy hands. She always keeps us updated on Emma’s day, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares about every child she looks after.
We are truly grateful for everything she does for Emma and our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their child with love, dedication, and professionalism.

I am very satisfied with their work.
The children are constantly involved in activities, studying, playing outside, cooking and developing. It was difficult for me to cope with my boys at home on my own, because one is 2 years old, the other is 3.5 years old, and Irene did it perfectly.
I sincerely recommend this institution

We are incredibly grateful to our son's childminder, Iren. From the very beginning, she made him feel safe, happy, and cared for. He quickly settled in, became more confident, and now looks forward to going every day with a big smile.
It means so much to us to see how much he has grown, made friends, and enjoys all the fun and educational activities. Iren's kindness, patience, and genuine love for the children shine through in everything she does.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Iren.
She is exceptionally kind, deeply professional, and has an unlimited love for children. As a wonderful mother to three adorable girls, she brings that same warmth, patience, and instinctive understanding to every child she cares for. You can truly see how much heart she puts into giving her best to all the kids.
Her home is a nurturing, joyful environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired. She gently encourages them to be kind to one another, to share, to communicate, and to grow not just academically but emotionally. Every day is filled with thoughtful activities, creative play, and meaningful learning moments.
Her communication is excellent, her dedication is genuine, and her passion for childcare shines through in everything she does. We trust her completely and are so grateful for the love and guidance she gives our child. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Hi Iren,
We just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you’ve done for our daughter since she started with you at age one. She settled in so quickly and always looks forward to coming to yours — which says a lot!
You’ve been so warm, kind, and reliable from the start, and it’s been such a positive experience for us as parents. We really appreciate how professional and caring you are — it’s clear how much you love working with kids.
The space you’ve created is always clean, safe, and full of fun things to do. Our daughter especially loves the mix of activities — from arts and crafts to baking and all the time spent outdoors. She’s always learning and having fun.
We also really value how well you communicate with us. We always know what she’s been up to, and you’re great at keeping us in the loop. And honestly, some of our favourite photos of her have come from you — thank you for capturing those lovely moments and sharing them with us!
We feel so lucky to have found you. Thank you again for everything!
Best,
Stas

Thank you so much Stas for your review!😊❤️
Our daughter started at Iren's childminding when she was 1, settled in quickly and always looks forward to going to Iren's.
Iren is a warm and positive person and we've had a fantastic experience from day one - she's been reliable, professional, and genuinely caring.
The environment is safe, clean, and well-organized, with a great mix of activities, art, baking and spending a lot of time outdoors. It's clear that Iren genuinely enjoys working with children.
Communication has been excellent — we always know what our child has been up to, and any concerns are addressed quickly and openly.
As a bonus, some of the best photos of our child adorning our walls are thanks to Iren's capturing the best moments and sending us photos at the end of the day. Highly recommended!

My little one loved Iren from the very first day — she was very welcoming and had great rapport with children. We are very satisfied with her services, and most importantly, our boy is doing very well there with the other children.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our daughter’s сhildminder, Iren. When our child first started attending the setting, she was very shy, withdrawn, and hesitant to interact with other children or adults. But thanks to Iren warmth, patience, and professional approach, our daughter adapted very quickly.
Iren managed to find the right approach, and in a short time, we saw wonderful changes: our daughter became more confident, happily goes to the setting, eagerly interacts with other children, plays, and participates in group activities.
We truly appreciate the atmosphere of kindness, creativity, and support that Iren creates. The children are constantly engaged in interesting activities such as drawing, dancing, and educational games — all of which help them grow, discover the world, and enjoy the process.
We are very thankful for the care, professionalism, and genuine attitude towards the children. It gives us peace of mind and joy knowing our daughter is in such good hands.
