My Summary
About Me
About my setting (working with two registered childminder assistants one of them is my husband and Gosia closed friend).
Little bees offer a strong sense of community and provides a warm and nurturing environment. There is an excellent child adult ratio to ensure the children are getting the best possible care at this important stage of their learning journey.
Key to the ethos at Little Bees is that the children actively lead their own development with no pressure on them in any way.
We have a very gentle settling in policy, where there is no pressure put on the children. At the very start, all we focus on is that the children are happy and feel settled in their new environment.
Each day, the children play outside in the garden, going to the parks, Woodlands or Forest School once a week.
At Little Bees we educate and nurture the whole child, providing opportunities for each child to discover and develop their own unique talents and abilities.
Our vision is for children to learn in a stimulating environment and to become confident and independent learners using positive reinforcement.
'We are committed to offering the best possible care for young children. Children leave Little Bees confident and happy, with enthusiasm and a thirst for knowledge. 'We want them be ready for school'
We ensure that from when your child joins us until their final day that their early years experience is happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and we support their development, care and learning needs.
My assistants and myself will make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs. This is a little bit like a curriculum in primary and secondary schools, but it's suitable for very young children, and it's designed to be really flexible so that we can follow your child's individual needs and interests.
Children at Little Bees learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
We meet with parents every three month to discuss their child’s development but also to raise parents concern if they are any
Please feel free under no obligation to come and have a look at our setting.
My Experience
I become childminder since January 2013. I have range of practical experience in my career since I become mother myself.
I am a confident, child minder with a high level of expertise that is able to offer a first class service to your family. I place the child at the centre of my work because their welfare is paramount to me. I work hard to make children's well being, learning, safety, enjoyment, socialisation and nurturing my priority at all times. The new EYFS (Early years Foundation Stage Sept 2012) curriculum that I am qualified in, means I am offering the same level of educational standards and opportunities to your child (regardless of age) as a nursery, preparing them well for the years ahead of more formal institutionalised education. I very much enjoy being with the children and have deep respect for their rights to play, learn, keep safe and healthy and enjoy their childhood as much as possible.

I would definitely recommend Ewelina and the team at Little Bees. My son started going there at 7 months and couldn’t have been looked after better especially at such young age. Ewelina always organises creative and fun activities in a very homely and gentle environment. She makes sure she sends pictures and the communication is easy via WhatsApp. Thank you so much Ewelina for taking care of Maxime so well.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We will miss him so much. All the best for all of you. See you around.
My daughter had the best year in Ewelina’s care and if it wasn’t for moving away she would stay until school. Ewelina always had such a range of fun, creative and messy activities which my daughter loved. No two days were the same and there were regular trips out of home. My daughter’s individual needs were catered to and nothing was ever too much effort. Great daily updates and loads of pictures which was always the highlight of my day. She loved her like family and always asks about her. I’m so happy that I chose Little Bees as her first childcare setting and would recommend to anyone. We miss Evelina dearly :( xx

Thank you so much for your feedback. It was pleasure to look after X for short period of time. She has a piece of my heart and I will always missed her dearly. Little chatter. Keep in touch. All the best at new house.
We settled our little boy here at 1 year old and he absolutely loved it.
Being with a mixed age group really helped his development and built his confidence.
We were so gutted to leave but unfortunately we moved out of the area, otherwise he'd still be there.
Ewelina is an a star and the kids all love her.

Thank you so much. Me and the children are still talking about X. They miss him too. All the best for you and X.
We looked at a few settings before coming across Little Bees and knew instantly it was the one. Ewelina and the team are so welcoming and pay attention to every little detail. Our little boy started at the age of one with a dairy allergy and some sleep requirements which were always handled with the utmost care. We were amazed every day with his progression and development and loved to see the pictures we were sent each day. The menu is always varied and we loved how many different foods were on offer. We were also impressed by the imaginative and different activities each week and the willingness of the team to get stuck in. The Little Bees team soon became a second family and we trust them completely. Our son started preschool last month but we still keep in touch with Little Bees, we aren't ready to say goodbye just yet! Would wholeheartedly recommend!

Good morning, thank you for your feedback. That mean a lots to me. See you around.
Little Bees has been like a second family to us for 5 years- both of our children went here from 9 months to 3 years, and we are so sad our youngest is now leaving to start nursery at school. Since nervously sending our first baby there, we have never had a moment of concern or discontent. Our children were both cared for so lovingly and consistently. We felt instantly welcomed by the small community that Ewelina creates between the carers and parents, with daily updates on WhatsApp and even camping trips and pumpkin picking all together. We always felt that the care was effortlessly personalised for each child. The setting may not be the biggest, but Ewelina is tirelessly creative with the space. They do amazing messy play every day, and tons of themed indoor and outdoor activities with Ewelina’s artistic flourish always shining through. The food is home cooked and the kids eat and sleep like none of us parents can ever manage at home! Tons of photos every day and always opportunity to chat at the door. We feel so lucky we found this place for our children, and would not hesitate to recommend with the highest confidence. If you want your child to feel loved and not lost in a crowd with ever-changing staff, this is the place!
