Dorota's Reviews

A Truly Caring and Trustworthy Childminder

Dorota looked after our 6-month-old son with care, warmth, and professionalism. From the very beginning, we felt at ease leaving him in her hands, knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for.

Unfortunately, we had to stop using her childminding services when she moved home, otherwise we would have happily continued. That said, we’ve stayed in touch, and she still babysits for us from time to time — a testament to how much we trust her and value the bond she built with our son, who's now 2 years. He's always happy and full of smiles around her, and it's clear he enjoys his time with her.

We wholeheartedly recommend Dorota to any parent looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward the children in her care. We’re very grateful for everything she’s done for our son.

Best childminder in St Albans

We have been very fortunate to have Dorota first as an after-school childminder for our daughter, and for the last 2 years as a full-time childminder for our son. As our little boy is starting pre-school in September, we will be moving on. We will miss her a lot, very rarely can you find a more warm, dedicated and a caring person as she is. Super organised, flexible and responsible.

Our son will definitely miss the daily park / playground visits with her, trips to farms, zoos, soft plays and an allotment. Potty training, hot healthy homemade lunches, loads of educational activities or a visit to a hairdresser ( massive favour) also need to be mentioned.

That you Dorota!

I highly recommend Dorota!

When my son first started going to her, he was shy and didn't speak English. However, Dorota went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and even introduced him to sign language for easier communication.

She serves nutritious, home-cooked meals that are mostly organic, which was very important to us. Her house is also incredibly clean, which adds to the positive experience.

She educates the kids in a fun way and often incorporates games to enhance their motor skills.

I appreciate that she is very active with the kids and they regularly spend time outside at parks or have picnics.

My sincere recommendation.

Ideal childminder in St Albans.

Initially we didn’t consider any option other than a nursery for our daughter. But the only nursery we found hugely let us down during the pandemic. Luckily we found Dorota. We both agree with my husband that we couldn’t have even dreamt about better setting for our 2 years old daughter. It basically feels like leaving her with a family member. It’s great that our little one has contact with other kids but it’s a small group so the risk of catching an infection is much smaller. And the best recommendation should be that our daughter happily waves us goodbye in the morning.

Best childminder

Dorota is a great childminder. Once we found and chose her, we never regretted our decision. Her house is impeccably clean, with toys constantly available for the children to choose from. She lives next to a park which the children get to go to all the time. Each day Dorota is out with the children in the woods and surrounding parks.
She cooks delicious homemade meals which our son loved. He learnt table manners and routines around meal times which also made our life easier at home.
Our son was always excited for his day ahead with Dorota and smiled when he saw her in the morning.
