Thank you Daniel, we miss you

I wanted to share my experience with Daniel as a childminder for my baby.

From the very beginning, I felt a lovely atmosphere in her home — warm, cozy, and creative. She was extremely flexible with my schedule and personal situation, which I appreciated so much as a new mother.

Daniel truly cared for Adam. It was his very first experience being cared for by someone outside of the family, and at first, it was hard for both of us. My heart broke a few times when I had to leave him, but Daniel always reassured me — she would send me photos within minutes, showing that he had already calmed down and was happily playing. Those updates meant the world to me.

She only looks after a small number of children (no more than three, as far as I know), so each child gets plenty of attention. They all play together, and every time I picked Adam up, he was in such a good mood — even better than when I left him!

After just a few visits, he started to wake up excited to go see Daniel. He was about one year and six months old, and it was clear how much he enjoyed being there.

For me, it was incredibly important to leave my child somewhere that feels safe, warm, and loving — and Daniel’s home is exactly that. It’s cozy, beautifully kept, and has a truly artistic, welcoming spirit. Her personality makes all the difference — responsible, kind, creative, and organized. Adam always ate at her place as well :)

I’m deeply grateful that my son had the chance to know someone like Daniel — not only because she took care of him so well, but because she became such a positive presence in his little life.

We’ve since left London, but if we hadn’t, I would have gladly moved closer to her just to have Adam spend more time there. Daniel is truly special — both as a childminder and as a person.
