Grateful for Karolina’s care for our son

5 stars

I’m so happy my son is with Karolina! She takes wonderful care of him, providing healthy meals, fun games, and outdoor activities that he loves. The daily routine and structure she provides make me feel really at ease. She keeps me updated on what he is doing throughout the day. I truly believe we’ve found the perfect person to care for our son, and he’s already so comfortable with her.

Thank you its my pleasure and duty of care x

Great Childminder

5 stars

My son was with Karolina for a little while, and I cannot thank her enough for how great she was with him!
Her home is inviting, safe, clean, and provides a great environment for the children.
She engages the children with sensory play for learning and skills under the EYFS guidance, which my son loved.
My son settled very well with her.
She also helped us parents feel at ease by providing updates throughout the day about our son, his activities, and his meals (of which are organic and healthy!).
Highly recommend Karolina! x

thank you so much 👼👌

favourite and best childcare experience so far

5 stars

It has been wonderful to have Karolina as our childminder. From the very beginning, she has been reliable and professional, always making sure to follow through on what we’ve agreed upon. She is fantastic at organizing activities that not only engage the children but also help with their individual development and needs.

Her attention to detail and genuine care for the children are truly impressive. Karolina communicates effectively and ensures that we’re always informed about our children’s progress. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a dependable and nurturing childminder.

thank you very much for your feedback, Mrs Johnson. pleasure to always look after your children!!

Disappointing

2 stars

It was great to deal with Karolina initially when she reached out for a babysitters job. We organised for a call however, she failed to make it happen on two occasions. We also agreed on a video call which I requested via email however later was told she had no access to her email. Disappointing and sadly for these reasons I am not sure how reliable she is.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Unfortunately, during that time, I faced unexpected issues, including a broken phone and limited access to my emails.

I understand how this may have affected your perception of my reliability, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. I’m committed to improving communication and ensuring such situations do not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Couldn't ask for a better setting!!

5 stars

We are incredibly grateful to have found Karolina as our childminder. She has been caring for our child since they were 6 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provides. Karolina is not only very understanding and flexible but also goes above and beyond to accommodate parents' needs. Her cooking is excellent, and I always feel confident knowing my child is well-fed and cared for.

From the moment you arrive, Karolina greets you with a warm smile, and it’s clear how much she loves her job. Her nurturing nature shines through in the way she interacts with the children, and I never have any concerns about leaving my child in her care. She is extremely protective and prioritizes safeguarding, making sure the environment is safe and welcoming.

What I especially appreciate is how often Karolina keeps me updated throughout the day, sending photos and regular messages about what my child is up to. It’s incredibly reassuring to know my child is in such loving and capable hands.

Her home is always clean, organized, and inviting, making it the perfect environment for young children. I highly recommend Karolina to any parent looking for a reliable, loving, and dedicated childminder.

Amazing Childminder

5 stars

I don’t know where to start, Karolina always welcomed my baby with a smile. She started looking after my daughter when she was 10months old and my baby loved their time together.

Karolina did so many activities with my daughter and took her out regularly. She constantly updated us with how my daughter was getting on throughout the day and with her help, my baby’s eating has improved so much too! Karolina really helped us out when we needed it, we’ve had to move to a closer setting but I know Karolina’s care will be hard to beat.

Been a lifesaver! Wonderful with kids and reliable

5 stars

Karolina is very friendly, helpful and flexible. She has helped me out last minute countless times already when I got some ad hoc work/life commitments. My almost 3 year old goes there very happily and Karolina always shares at the end how the day went. The first day we went there we had a little warm up period for my son, and she showed all her registration forms and was super transparent, which I really appreciated. She has a lovely home and spacious garden with different play equipment. So glad she lives not too far from me!

Amazing child minder!

5 stars

From the very first moment I met Karolina, I felt so comfortable and so did my daughter. I instantly felt at ease and relaxed in her home. She has a beautiful home that is completely child friendly and has lots of space for the children to play, including a beautiful garden. Karolina is so brilliant with my daughter and they took to each other right away. She provides healthy meals/snacks throughout the day for my daughter (who is normally a fussy eater) and she loves every meal! I receive regular updates throughout the day on my daughters meals, what she is doing and lots of regular photos, so I always feel at ease! If I ever have any concerns or need to get hold of her, I know that Karolina is only a phone call/text message away and she will always respond to me quickly! Karolina is very flexible with her hours and is always willing to help me out, even in emergencies when I need my daughter looked after not on her set days. I get provided a daily sheet of what my daughter has eaten, played with, excelled in, how many nappy changes etc throughout the day. I couldn't recommend Karolina enough if you want a caring, thoughtful, intelligent person to child mind your child.
