We cannot recommend Saskia highly enough. Our daughter spent nearly a year in her care (starting from age 18 months), and the progress she made in that time was remarkable. Saskia is far more than a childminder; she is a dedicated educator who cares deeply about the children she looks after.

Creative & Educational Environment
What sets Saskia apart is her incredible creativity and effort. She constantly transformed her home to keep things exciting—whether it was building a pirate ship in the living room, setting up a grocery store, or creating a “science lab.” She put immense thought into educational activities tailored to the children's specific needs, even doing independent research outside of working hours to support our daughter’s growth and wellbeing.

Holistic Development
Our daughter thrived across all dimensions under Saskia's care:
● Academics & Language: Saskia made learning numbers fun, inventing games like spotting digits on buses, buildings, and license plates. Our daughter really enjoyed this and kept on playing them with us. She also made amazing progress in her language skills, as Saskia encouraged her to express herself and constantly taught her new words and expressions.
● Social Skills: By taking the children to various playgroups and organizing playdates, Saskia taught them how to interact beautifully with others. She built a wonderful group dynamic where the children learned to be kind to one another.
● Enrichment & Nature: They spent a lot of time outside exploring the nearby park to learn about plants and animals, alongside carefully chosen trips to museums, art galleries, and exhibitions. Saskia is incredibly knowledgeable about the arts and shares her passion for them with the children.
● Creativity: A huge variety of arts activities—painting, handicrafts, and Play-Doh—strengthened our daughter's fine motor skills and imagination.

Professionalism & Peace of Mind Saskia always put safety first. She is incredibly responsible and kept us updated throughout the day or during pick-up. We always had the feeling our daughter was in the best possible hands.

The two of them formed a very special bond; our daughter was always happy at drop-off and clearly enjoyed every moment of her time there. We feel Saskia has prepared her perfectly for her next steps at nursery.

We strongly recommend Saskia to any parent looking for a caring, responsible, and proactive childminder.
