My Summary
About Me
My name is Irina, I am a registered childminder in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. I live with my french husband and my 4 years old son .
I have worked in childcare for over 15 years and I am a trained early years musician. I can also speak 3 languages fluently : Romanian, Italian and French.
Along the years I have cared for many children varying in age from 1 month up to 8 years, children of different nationalities, learning difficulties and special needs . When I lived in Italy the focus of my work was to help with the rehabilitation and to assist with therapies as well as implementing all activities as described by the specialists.
Since 2015 I worked in various nurseries and schools in London running Music and Movement sessions for ELM Performance and teaching various groups, age 0-6 at Crescendo and Saturday music centre – assisting children with self expression through artistic methods such as dance, sing and role play and encouraging collaborative music making using rhythm, rhymes and songs to build a sense of spoken vocabulary.

Below are the latest reviews for Irina. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

I don't have enough words to thank Irina and to describe how perfect her setting is. When I leave my son Robert with her I am completely at peace. Irina helped Robert and us during a particular period of our lives. Irina speaks different languages and she helped my son feeling comfortable with his English (his main language is Italian). She is patient and kind and she has a real passion for children's development. This setting is a beautiful experience for my son. He learns and play. Every day Irina creates new actuvities and adventures to allow the children discovering the world. She also sends daily updates with lovely pictures. The setting is beautiful and very clean. She also has a particular attention to the food she prepares as she has many cultural influences (we are very picky with what we give to Robert in terms of health and variety). We couldn't be happier and I honestly don't think you could find a better person to trust.
