We are extremely pleased with the childcare that Iwona provides for our daughter. She is kind,
nurturing, communicative and always puts the children first. Our daughter has been with Iwona
since she was 15 months old for just over a year. When she arrived, her motors skills were
significantly behind her peers due to the hip-dysplasia which she had surgery on at the age of 6
months. However, after a short period of time with Iwona, she has improved dramatically making
her milestone, especially independent walking that Iwona recorded for us.
Iwona provides a stimulating and caring environment. She plans trips out e.g., libraries, farm visits,
parks and activities based around the children’s specific development needs. Antonina, especially
loves her art and crafts ideas. She also organises for children Christmas party when they decorate
their own Christmas tree, bake cookies, and sing themed songs.
On daily basis, we are sent photos of Antonina being engaged in various activities via our personal
WhatsApp group. Iwona provides us with excellent feedback which includes the current educational,
personal, and social skills she is covering with Antonina, so we can continue to support her also at
home. Antonina has blossomed under her care.
Iwona’s environment is always clean. Antonina loves her dog Buddy, which is very protective of the
children in her setting and makes them develop caring nurture towards animals. Knowing the
children Iwona looks after, there is one common element - they are all very well-behaved with good
manners. She definitely makes this part of her day to day development.
As parents, when you entrust your child to someone for so much of the week, it must be right.
Iwona really cares about the children that she looks after, loving their individual personalities and
ensuring they feel secure.

When our second child turned 1, there was no doubt in our mind who we would turn to for childcare. Iwona looked after our first child and played an instrumental part in making her the lovely, well-adjusted girl she remains today. Iwona doesn't just look after your children for a few hours, she helps them thrive in a number of different environments. She cares for them as if they were her own and we can't imagine getting a higher standard of communication with us or a higher standard of care for our children than what we have experienced with Iwona. Thank you again for everything Iwona!!!

Iwona is a remarkable childminder. She looked after my son for over one year. She has prepared him for reception and I am sure he will handle the school smoothly. My son enjoyed not only the time spent with Iwona but also her food. He really liked eating what Iwona cooked. They did a lot of activities outdoors and indoors. My son loved not only Iwona but also her family and her dog. He says he will miss all of it. If I had a second child, I would definitely ask Iwona to be again a childminder. We could not ask for more. Iwona is reliable, honest and the most trustworthy person I know.

There is not enough words to describe how amazing childminder Iwona is. My son started with her one year ago when he was 10 months old and settled very smoothly. Now he is the happiest boy ever, having every day trips to local libraries, play groups and parks. For Iwona is never too far to jump to Cheam Park, Morden Hall Park or in hot weather cool down little feet in waters in Beddington Park.
During school holidays Iwona looks after my 5 years old daughter and there is no chance to persuade her to stay in even the best kids clubs, she prefers going to Iwona, my daughter just feels very happy with her, never bored, always having a great time.
I have peace of mind being updated every day with loads of photos showing my boy having fun. On top of that Iwona follows healthy diet rules which teach my child to have good habits from very beginning.
Iwona lives in lovely bungalow where kids have dedicated massive bright and warm space in conservatory with access to huge garden full of activities. Kids at any age can find here toys, crafts and activities keeping them occupied.
If you’re looking for childminder you will be extremely lucky having this amazing, warm and friendly person Iwona is.

Iwona was looking after my 6 year old son David throughout the summer 2015 on a 2 days a week basis. She would look after him from early morning till pick up at around 6pm.
Iwona made sure days were fun for the children by taking them to different parks, farms or museums. During holidays they managed to visit Richmond Park, Horniman Museum, Crystal Palace Park and farm etc. Apart from providing fun for the children, Iwona sets very clear rules for the children to follow which help them play together and ensure their safety.
From Sep 2015 Iwona has been looking after my 5 year daughter after school as well. My daughter was always well looked after and happy telling my all about different activities Iwona had set up for her i.e.: play dough, riding bikes in a garden, colouring and sticking or reading books.
Iwona is very responsible, patient and have lots of ideas how to keep the little one occupied. She will make sure the children have fun and at the same time learn some new skills or facts about the world.
I would recommend Iwona to any parent looking for childcare for their little ones.

Iwona has looked after my son since he was 10 months old (he is now 2 and a half).
I was really nervous about going back to work but i was put completely at ease from the moment i met lovely Iwona.
Iwona is really helpful and cares for my son just as she would her own child. I met with several possible childminders when deciding to return to work and Iwona was head and shoulders above the rest.
My son was quite slow to crawl, walk and talk but Iwona was the reason he managed to achieve those milestones when he did- she did everything she could to help him and knew the best ways to work with him as the individual that he is to get the best out of him and she is a huge part of all the many things hes achieved.
Iwona arranges a wide range of activities and sends regular photos and updates and always works with me to ensure continuity for things like potty training etc. My son was on a lot of medication when he was younger and iwona was always so helpful keeping me updated giving him his medication correctly and on time and advising me when my son was unwell and would always spot when something was wrong. Iwona is not only fantastic on a personal basis building a relationship with children and parents but is clearly very experienced in all aspects of childcare and is a constant source of useful advice and knowledge - even as a mother of 2 with a childcare qualification myself iwona will regularly teach me things!
Iwonas home is beyond spotless and
she makes my son feel part of her family as do her lovely son and husband, and my boy completely adores her (very well behaved) dog!
I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Iwona to anyone, ive never once had any concerns or had to worry about my son whilst he was in her care. He is always happy to go to her (most days i barely get a goodbye from him!) and always comes home happy and content having had a wonderful day every time.

My wife and I are surprised Iwona’s waiting list isn’t 5 years long! She is an angel.
Our daughter was struggling at nursery so we sought a different option and we are so grateful we found Iwona. Louise could not be happier and healthier. In fact, she is so well looked-after and loved that she giggles with excitement on our way to Iwona’s house every morning! Which gives us a priceless peace of mind while we’re at work.
Iwona is well-qualified and incredibly organised on every level from food times to the amazing educational and super fun activities they go out to do every day. She sends us pictures of our ecstatic daughter and keeps us well-informed of their daily schedule through the child-minder diary.
Iwona’s house is lovely and very clean. Her son is one of the most well-mannered children you will ever meet, her husband is clearly a great dad, and their cocker-spaniel is an immediate hit with any child!
Iwona, thank you so much for bringing the smile back to all our faces!
