Violeta's 5 Star Reviews

Violeta,incredibly caring, clean, safe and organiz

I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful Violeta is. She is incredibly caring, loving, and attentive with the children, and they truly feel happy and comfortable in her care.

My daughter settled in unbelievably quickly and even slept there from the very first day, which says so much about the warm, safe, and welcoming environment she creates. The children feel completely at ease, they eat very well, and they have plenty of opportunities to socialise and interact with other kids.

Since starting with her, my daughter comes home every day with new words and new things she has learned. It is amazing to see how much progress she has made in such a short time.

She also follows an excellent routine, which has been wonderful for my daughter because she thrives on structure and consistency. The routine is respected very well, and you can clearly see the positive impact it has on the children.

Another thing that gave me so much peace of mind is how clean, safe, and well-organised everything is. I have been to her home myself and saw how clean and child-friendly the environment is. The toys are safe, the space is secure, and she takes hygiene very seriously. My daughter always comes home clean, with his hands and face washed, and her nappy changed properly and on time. She has never come home with irritation, redness, or discomfort. I truly receive her back just as clean and cared for as when I leave her there.

What I appreciate just as much is how understanding, flexible, and supportive she is. She is always available to help and has never made me feel like I am asking for too much. Even in emergency situations, when I have not been able to give much notice, she has always been more than happy to look after Safiyah. She has helped me so many times during stressful moments, and for that I will always be grateful.

She is also extremely communicative and always keeps me updated. At the end of each day, she takes the time to tell me what my daughter did, what she learned and how day went, if anything unusual happened, and whether everything was okay. As a parent, that level of communication means so much.

She is such a kind and genuine person who radiates warmth, positivity, and care. As a parent, it gives me incredible peace of mind knowing my daughter is with someone who truly loves what she does.

I recommend her wholeheartedly. From one parent to another, she is a very safe and trustworthy choice, and I truly believe that any child — even one who may struggle with adapting to new environments — will settle in very quickly with her. I could not recommend her more highly.

A fantastic childminder with an amazing setting

It's going to be a long review because we can't praise Violeta and her service enough.

Choosing a daycare provider for my baby was one of the most difficult decisions in my life and probably many parents, who are now at this stage, feel the same. I wanted to find a safe setting where my boy could thrive but I was also worried whether I could trust a complete stranger. We visited a few childcare providers but when we met Violeta we just knew she was the one!

Violeta is really passionate about working with toddlers and let's be honest, working with little ones is not a regular 9 to 5 job, it requires lots of passion and dedication to do it right and Violeta has what it takes.

Violeta's setting is based on Montessori philosophy and she puts lots of effort to nurture children's natural development. Our boy learns practical skills such as baking, cooking or watering plants, but he also enjoys nursery rhymes, playing various instruments, painting and spending time outside. All activities support his curiosity, confidence and independence but most importantly, he has lots of fun.

Violeta also educates children about different languages and religions which is fantastic.

The whole setting is very well adjusted for children's needs e.g. there is a small table and chairs in the kitchen, where children eat and cook together, there is a separate bathroom and a big patio where they can play outside even when it rains.

The setting is also very clean and well organised. I prepare my son's food but Violeta always returns his food containers clean and whenever I come to pick him up he is always clean and the nappy has been recently changed.

Violeta communicates with us throughout the day and sends us pictures so that we know what our boy has been up to and we don't feel like we miss out on these precious moments.

And the fact that our boy doesn't want to come home when I come to pick him up and wants me to join him playing instead, says it all.
He is a very happy baby and thrives in Violeta's setting. I can go to work and know that he is safe and is in the best hands he could be.

I am very grateful for Violeta's hard work and can't recommend her enough.

Outstanding service

My daughter has settled in very well in Violeta’s nursery ( in 2022) and has progressed greatly since she joined.
The educational environment is rich and stimulating, my daughter is making very good progress, they are constantly learning life skills, in a collaborative manner,tailored to their age needs but also challenged to progress above their age .
My daughter feels safe and supported, she has a good emotional bond with Violeta.
The learning resources are good, always updated and very stimulating, following the Montessory activities and areas of development. The nursery is always clean and well organised, with a good outside space for playing.
Overall, we are very happy with Violeta’s services.
As a former secondary school teacher myself, I see quality in her teaching methods.
I wholeheartly recommend Violeta as a childminder for our children, happy kid, happy life.

An excellent, professional and caring childminder.

Violeta has been childminding my son Noah since September 2022. She looks after him for 5 days each week.

I have been extremely happy with the care Noah has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Violeta's care. Violeta’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Noah has great fun playing with all the toys available/taking part in all the educational activities with the other children in her care.

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know Noah has recently enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the woods.
Violeta is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining Noah’s confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When Noah steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer first aid If needed.

Although I provide Noah’s food each day I know that she will provide healthy snacks such as fruit and rice cakes if he is exceptionally hungry or keen to eat what the older children are eating. I am also aware that Violeta ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Noah receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.

I would absolutely recommend Violeta as a great and reliable childminder.
