Karol has looked after my little girl for almost two years, since my daughter was 11 months old. From the moment I met Karol I knew she was the right childminder for us and things have been fantastic ever since. She truly does feel like a part of our family and has been so flexible, caring and adaptable along the way.
Our little girl talks about Karol and her setting even when she’s not there and she thoroughly enjoys her time with her. They are always out and about having fun every day. My daughter is treated as an individual with respect and fairness and she has really flourished under Karol’s care.
The cherry on the top is Karol’s scrapbooks which she compiles over time as she looks after your child. It’s really emotional to look back and see how your child has developed and the fun they have had along the way.
We would have no hesitation to recommend Karol to anyone looking for a childminder, it is only because we are moving out of London that things are changing. Thank you so much Karol, you have been a superstar!

Karol is an excellent childminder. My daughter looks forward to their sessions together. Karol takes time to do loads of activities with my daughter, she makes the most artistic beautiful scrap books with pictures of what they get up to. These precious books evidence all the fun things they do together Karol is thoughtful, and conscientious, and a wonderful childminder and I would highly recommend her.

Karol was a very important part of our family life when the kids were young. She cared for them two days a week. Karol was a very 'outdoorsy' person who often had them playing at the local parks or at children's centres. I found her experience with children very supportive; she was able to observe first hand the natures of my two children and to respond to them differently to help meet their needs. I found Karol became a trusted extension of our family and trust her deeply. I would certainly recommend Karol to any parent. We felt very grateful to have been able to rely on her. The kids remember her and still look at their scrap books to see what they used to get up to! Thank you Karol, from the bottom of our hearts. Naomi (Mum of Thomas and Freya and now Robin!)

Our daughter started with Karol when she was 10 months. She was a really clingy baby and our first, so we were really worried about how she’d adjust. As soon as I met Karol I knew she was the right choice, you can see how much she really cares about the children in her care. Karol went out of her way to help my daughter (and me!) settle in. In the end we had nothing to worry about, our daughter was really happy there from day one.
Our daughter stayed with Karol until she was three. She’s an extremely confident and happy child which I really credit to her time with Karol. If we had stayed in London I would absolutely have sent our second child to Karol too. She’s wonderful with the children, really flexible and a really lovely woman generally.

Karol starting looking after our son just before his first birthday - he's now over two. He loves the days he spends with her! Karol provides excellent care - they always go out to playgroups or the park for adventures - well equipped whatever the weather. He is always really well fed and given so much love and care.
Karol has been our childminder throughout the Covid-19 pandemic (apart from the pause when early years facilities closed), and she has been a lifeline for our family. She takes care of our son like he's one of her own family, and has offered us all so much support.
Karol is energetic, thoughtful, kind, and provides amazing care for the children she looks after.

As a nervous first time mum who was going back to work, I was worried about leaving my 6 month old with someone new for the first time. I did my research and Karol's name was recommended to me several times. I could not have asked for a better childminder. She is a breath of fresh air and a bundle of positive energy. I wanted my son to be with other children and to experience different activities and he certainly did that. Karol took him to play centres and parks and he was involved in all sorts of activities like music and storytelling as well as art, nature activities and generally playing. She also knows when it is important to have a quiet afternoon. She is experienced and knowledgeable and I wholeheartedly would recommend her.

Karol was my childminder for 3 years when I lived in London, she looked after my daughter 7.30am - 5pm Mon-Fri from the age of 11 months. She was not only a fantastic childminder, my daughter thrived in her care - Karol would take her to all sorts of exciting activities, encouraged her socially but also had clear boundaries and expectations of her; but Karol was also very supportive of me as a young mum. She is a very generous, warm person.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Karol to anyone, she is faultlessly reliable and I was 100% confident at all times leaving my daughter with her.
I was really sad to say goodbye to Karol, not only as a childminder, but also personally, as she was a huge part of mine and my daughter's life for 3 years. If I lived in London I would still have Karol as my childminder, she is brilliant.

Karol looked after my two girls for several days a week over a couple of years, so we got to know each other well. I can't fault her. She was always absolutely reliable, always friendly, affectionate and diligent in caring for my girls. Each day she would take them to local parks and playschemes so that they had plenty to do and plenty of excercise. Her flat was always spotless and she had a relaxed and easy manner. I always felt confident the girls were in safe hands. Thank you so much Karol. We wish you all the best!

I couldn't have managed without Karol and I am almost sad my boys are now too old to go! I met Karol when she was looking after other children after school and I admired the kind, gentle but firm way she cared for the children and nagged her regularly to take my son too. She then looked after my younger two sons from an earlier age. She cared for all three until they were eleven. Karol was totally reliable, she was very flexible and brilliant in any crisis. There were times when I was late because of my work as an NHS doctor and she was always so kind. The children were fully entertained and there was always fun outings and activities such as arts and crafts and baking. Her home was child centred and clean and my children ate well there. She managed vegararian diets, washable nappies, illness and boisterous boys ( one particularly boisterous) without batting an eye. She became a friend whose advice(when I asked) about children was wise, supportive and kind. I can very highly recommend her as a childminder.

When I met Karol I knew that she would be a great childminder for my baby. I had to return back to work when my baby was 6 months so I really wanted someone that would care for her like her own, and Karol certainly did that. Karol took her out to different play groups and to the park and really kept her busy. She had a few other children so my baby was able to get a lot of social interaction and stimulation from them. Karol really helped my baby in all aspects of her development, from her language and motor skills. Karol become a second mother to my daughter and I could not have wished for better child-minder. Karol is really good with children, she is patient and loving and has a lot of experience. We both miss her and I think of her often. I would highly recommend her as a child minder.
