About Me

I'm Szilvi, an Ofsted Registered Childminder, originally a Hungarian folk music teacher and musician-singer. My family have been living in the UK since February 2019, I have two sons, the little one is 8 years old and the oldest is 18, who goes to the University of Loughborough. My husband is originally a filmmaker. I taught in music specialised schools for over 20 years along with being involved in the musical development of young children. In my music sessions, we sing, play instruments, as well as learn singing and music structured games.
This is a wonderful new journey in my life that we will go on together with you.

My Experience

I have been working with children for more than 20 years, my main job has always been music and music teaching. I give music sessions for adults and babies, where I show how parents can develop babies with music and singing. And they have fun in the meantime. I often take care of children and I have been consciously preparing for the childminder job for more than a year. I worked for two years with a childminder in Southbourne, I was a midday assistant in an infant school for two years, I volunteered for Wriggle and Rhyme sessions in Springbourne.

The early development of children is important, and I believe music plays a significant role in it.

In my childminding setting:
Every day your child will hear stories, songs, rhymes and instruments. We play movement games whilst we sing or listen to music.
Why is music, singing and rhymes important in children's lives?
They will help develop:
- Motor skills
- Listening skills
- Coordination
- Understanding and use of language
- Speech and fluency of speech
- Social skills and self confidence
- Creativity
- Positive relationships

Exercise plays an important part in the development of children. That is why we often take walks on the Slades Farm, on the nearby Talbot Heath or on the Wallisdown Recreation Ground, where we learn about the nature around us alongside getting some fresh air. However if they'd prefer to stay, we can also play in the garden, providing many toys and games..

My son can't wait to meet her

5 stars

My son wakes up with excitement when he knows he’s going to see Szilvi.

We first met Szilvi at one of her events, and it was clear from the start that her love for children and passion for music was truly inspiring.

As a mother, I didn’t feel ready to send my son to nursery with a larger group of children, and I was also worried that, at just two years old, he wouldn’t understand the English environment (we are Hungarians). But I also knew that staying at home with him for much longer wouldn’t be beneficial for either of us.

With all these concerns in mind, meeting Szilvi felt like the perfect match. In her warm, friendly, and family-like setting, my son feels completely at home. I’m so happy that he can enjoy learning Hungarian and English rhymes and songs in such a nurturing environment.
