Childminder

Below are the parent reviews for Vilma. Back to Vilma's profile

Average Rating: 4.43 stars (4.43 from 7 reviews)

Vilma is a really great childminder. Both of my children love her and would still be going to her if we hadn’t moved house (nearly 100 miles away - just too far). They always had fun with Vilma and did lots of great activities. My children could both be described as ‘strong willed’ (to put it politely) but Vilma always knew exactly how to manage them.
COVID has so far prevented our planned reunion, but we are still in contact and my daughter still asks when we are going to see Vilma again.

Wow, where do I start with this woman!

Vilma was my SAVIOUR! Quite literally. You see, my son has ASD, ADHD and many other little odds and sods! I was going through hell with my son when I met Vilma! There was not a single person who could cope with his behaviours - myself included - I started work at 7.30 and desperately needed someone who could care for Alfie from 6.30 to 7.30 when his taxi would collect him to go to school. I must have spoken to 20 childminders that day, and none would help because of his disabilities! Vilma took him on, we met instantly and the rest is history! My son is now 12 and he was 6 when he joined Vilma’s club. He is no longer there, but he speaks so fondly of Vilma. I’m certain he would be prefer to be at her house most of the time. He ran away from home a few weeks when he refused to be disciplined for bad behaviour! I contacted my family, they all sat on the sofas. I thought to myself, maybe he went to Vilma’s as I couldn’t find him anywhere. As soon as I said what had occurred, her and her partner got ready, and came out to help me look for him! The police showed up with him after a little while! In a nut, this woman will go to the moon and back to look after your children, she will help to develop them into kind and caring young adults! I couldn’t of asked for a better childminder, I just wish I found her when my son was two. It would of saved a lot of heartache with others who do not understand kids or kids with special needs.

It is unfortunate that Covid restrictions are in place, however she messed me about for a whole month. One minute telling me she would call to arrange to meet up as i could not enter the premises. When I offered for a virtual tour of the place, she gave me an excuse. She stated, she thought (not confirmed) that nursery settings would be closed. Everytime single time there was an obvious excuse despite one of my daughters having a disability meaning she could still get childcare regardless of the situation. In other words, she could not find a way to refuse but rather find excuses to fob me off.

Very unprofessional and disgusted to say the least! If I could give 0 stars I would.

Thank you for your review.
I am sad to hear you feel this way. I believe that I tried to keep you as informed as I possibly could in this very difficult time for everyone during the Coronavirus Pandemic. The way I have changed the way I ran my setting was by following all updates and making sure that all the children the I childmind were and are at all times safe, healthy and developing.
I believe that my previous reviews tell you what I am like and how much I love my job, watching children develop into independent, confident, able and happy little people.
I have a fantastic working relationship with all my parents and even have contact with children and parents alike that no longer use my services. So much so that I am very proud to have been asked to be godmother to 2 of the children that I have cared for.

Vilma is more like a surrogate mum than just a childminder. She is very kind, caring and my kids love her. She is very experienced and responsible but more than that the kids love being at her place. Her premises are spotless, there are plenty of toys and educational games and the atmosphere is fun, nurturing and welcoming. I can't recommend her highly enough.
