Galina is a brilliant childminder.She looks after my 5 year old daughter who is extremely happy. She is with her 5 days a week, all day. Galina provides breakfast and after school meals which my daughter finds delicious. Galina s house is safe and there is a lot of games and activities for children. Galina is also very reliable and I can always count on her help. She is the best childminder we could have ever found.

Galina take care of my 2 years old daughter since few months now and I'm very happy with her service. My daugter loves her. Galina is an honest and reliable person who loves children, treat them with respect, speaks very good English, cooks very well (my daughter loves her food:). She is always smiling and has always positive attitude to life and people around. Her home is clean and tidy, with all security things like a gate at stairs etc. There is lots of play equipment lots of educational toys too. there is beautiful garden and the park, with nice playground, is very close. Galina's family is lovely especially her youngest one : 8-year old daughter, my little one loves her. Galina takes children to local playgroup at children centre and also sometimes to adventure park. i trust her and i can go with peaceful mind to work. My daughter coming back home happy, after good eat, good sleep. Galina has taught her counting to 10, singing songs, colors and some simple words in English. Galina speaks English to her and its new for my daughter cause at home we speak Polish. But i think is good preparation to nursery and school. Because of that all I can see that she gives my daughter lots of attention. She is experienced and talented teacher. I would recommend Galina to everyone she is professional childminder who knows her job, follows the rules but what is the most important she puts her heart in what she is doing. we love her and i feel so lucky to find her among all. Also I'm sure that Galina would respect every culture she is very good person with lots of kindness to everyone.
