About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder located in Loughton. I am a responsible, creative, innovative and well organised person with harmonious and calm nature. I like to keep my education up to date and stay on top of the changes.
Every child is unique and I provide different activities depending on their age - reading, writing, learning numbers and art. I take the children into community - playground, library and soft play. For me, providing complete and high-quality care for your children is a top priority. That is why my rate fully includes freshly prepared, high-quality, and warm home-cooked meals throughout the day.
The following full daily menu is completely covered by the price:
• Breakfast (Warm and nutritious start to the day)
• Morning Snack (Fresh seasonal fruits)
• Lunch (Freshly cooked, warm main meal)
• Afternoon Snack (Healthy and delicious homemade treats)
• Late Snack (Additional fresh fruits)
I prepare all meals using only fresh, selected ingredients tailored to your child's needs. This saves you time, effort, and extra expenses, while giving you peace of mind knowing that your child is enjoying wholesome food every single day. I look forward to hearing from you!

Vasi has been providing care for my son for over 3.5 years and I have watched him grow into a happy and confident boy who is now ready to start reception at school in September.
Vasi's home is warm, friendly and very clean. She shares her home with her husband and my son has a great bond with him too.
Vasi puts a lot of effort into creating interesting and educational activities which my son loves.
She provides fresh, nutritious meals on a daily basis including lots of fruits and vegetables.
Vasi truly loves children and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
I have so much gratitude and appreciation for Vasi and I will never forget how much she has helped my family.

We met Vasi when my daughter was 1 year old. Vasi was just starting her childminding business and I would say we were SO LUCKY that we found her before she got fully booked.
Vasi was taking care of my daughter for two and a half years and I couldn't be more happy with everything she did for us.
A BIG THANK YOU for the healthy nutrition, for the cosy atmosphere, for the best playtime, for the professional education time, for the celebrations and parties, for the amazing approach towards our multicultural children and theirnutritional needs.
Vasi understand our children's needs, their temper, their play demands perfectly. She adopts to each individual character and gently leads them into the right behavior direction. Mu dauther was only in the best possible hands in terms of care, feeding, routine, but she also learned so much. She made me proud of the manners and language she was showing.
Now, already in Reception, my daughter is confident, independent, communicative and happy and all this is because Vasi prepared her perfectly for this moment.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

My son, has been in the care of Vasilena since February 2023. I am extremely happy with the care and education she provides.
Vasilena takes excellent care of my son and supports his learning in many ways. She prepares a variety of healthy meals that are great for his development and nutrition. Thanks to her, my son—who is only 4 years old—can already count to 11, knows the alphabet, can write his name, and enjoys drawing. All of these achievements are the result of her dedication and teaching.
Every day, my son tells me what he has done, what he has eaten, and what activities he has taken part in. He absolutely loves Vasilena, and I can see how much he enjoys being in her care.
As a full-time working mother, it gives me peace of mind knowing my child is in such good hands. Vasilena is truly an amazing childminder, and I am very grateful for the positive impact she has had on my son’s development.

Vasilena is a treasure. She is so dedicated to her work that it seems as for her it is not work, but endless fun. Everything is on point with her - starting from food, beds, fun toys and educational games, but most of all attention to each child. I will never forget your warm smile and care for my Alex. Today our family is starting a new path, but we know that in your person we have a friend in the future.

We are so happy to have Vasi looking after our child. She has lovely, cozy beds for the children, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. On top of that, she cooks healthy and tasty meals that our child really enjoys.
She is kind, caring, and creates a safe, happy environment. My baby absolutely loves to go there and we feel that after every week she is developing her skills so much - thankfully to Vasi’s care and attention.
We are very lucky to have her and would recommend her to any parent looking for a wonderful childminder.

My son started with Vasi in January. She is an amazing childminder and I cannot recommend her enough. She is so amazing with our son and the other children in the setting. Our son was a very fussy eater but since starting with Vasi he now eats all sorts of food which is amazing for us! She cooks all healthy foods, does lots of activities like painting , educational , outside activities and all the children are close. In the mornings my son can’t wait to get there! She makes a big effort for birthdays and other seasonal holidays which is lovely.
We are only leaving as we are moving to Herts but if we could take her with us we would. I know my son won’t get a place like Vasi’s and we and him will be sad to leave.

I cannot recommend Vasilena enough, she is exceptional. I was so nervous and heartbroken to my 9 month but upon meeting Vasilena, my heart was calm. She is very welcoming and friendly, answers any questions you have and updates you everyday throughout the day. The setting and environment she has going on is almost like a mini nursery but a home away from home and the garden is amazing. Different healthy snacks and a hot lunch are provided everyday. The children also bring home some lovely arts and crafts on occasion. She’s looked after my little one from 9 months to 1 year and am so heartbroken to leave but we moving to Braintree. Told her if I could afford it, I would take her with me 🤣. My little baba loves her and so do my older children who she doesn’t even look after 🤣. Vasilena thank you so much for providing a welcoming, warm, loving and healthy environment for my little one. You will be missed ❤️

Vasi is amazing with children and has been caring for my twins who are now 3 years old since they were five months old. She is patient kind and instinctively knows how to handle children. My twins adore her and love spending time with her. Vasi is engaging and stimulates the children with educational toys and activities. She also keeps me updated on how the twins are getting on during the day.

Vasilena is a lovely lady.
She is friendly, reliable and welcoming.
I trust her completely with my daughter and couldn’t be happier with the care she gives her.
Vasi makes sure to check in with me every day to provide an update on my daughter's activities and wellbeing. This shows her dedication to providing excellent care. She takes the initiative to make sure that I am kept in the loop about my daughter's day, which is something that I greatly appreciate.
Highly recommended! 👌🏼
