We met Dorota 3,5 years ago when looking for a childminder for our first daughter. Born into a bilingual household, I knew it would be best for my daughter to also be exposed to Polish language and heritage outside of home, so it was my main motivation to find a Polish speaking childminder. Little did we know at the time that Dorota would also prove herself brilliant in all other respects.

Dorota has been looking after our older daughter (4 years old) for nearly 3,5 years now. During this time, Dorota's house has become our daughter's second home. Earlier this year, Dorota also started looking after our second daughter (now 1 year old). From the beginning Dorota created a warm, nurturing and fun environment for our kids to grow and develop in. She is patient, reliable and incredibly attentive to the individual needs of each child. Dorota also puts so much care in the home cooked meals she provides for the kids. Knowing our daughters have varied and balanced diet gives us so much comfort and joy.

Whilst Dorota's qualifications and experience speak for themselves, it is almost not possible to convey in one brief review here just how much she loves her job and the kids she looks after. She truly cares, way beyond what's strictly required as part of the job.

Our daughters always feel safe, happy and excited to spend a day with Dorota - the little one's arms wide open when she sees Dorota first in the morning is evidence of that! Our older daughter has had a beautiful childhood full of outdoor play, adventures and fun activities and so we both have some much to thank Dorota for. No day is the same and our older daughter always have so much excitement to share with us when she gets back home in the evening. We have seen real growth in our child's social skills and independence, much of which we credit to Dorota.

Our older daughter is due to start school in September, but we are ever so excited and grateful for the opportunity to continue the same brilliant childcare journey for our second daughter. We both couldn't be happier with the care and support Dorota has provided to our kids and us and we wholeheartedly recommend her.
