My son was 9 months when Ovuokio stepped in as his childminder. With Noah-John being so young with working parents, I was not sure about what to expect in the following days and weeks but Ovuokio exceeded my expectations and made my return back to work smooth.

Noah-John connected quickly with Ovuokio and the other children she looks after. She will take them to the playgroups, parks, playgrounds and NJ learns a lot from the activities they do on a daily basis from the ABCs to Nursery Rhymes etc.

She is a lovely, hardworking, trustworthy and honest person. She is flexible and always ready to support our family. One phone call away and she will try and sort things out for NJ and us. She keeps us updated about NJ progress and encourages us to work together in order to talk about areas of improvement.

NJ has definitely gained skills and knowledge no one would think a childminder can give to a child as compared to a nursery for example. I have observed the same with other children she looks after and the change and settlement is just noticeable and unbelievably encouraging. The kids look very happy in a clean, safe and healthy environment and above all love each other. NJ is always looking forward to going to the playgroup and seeing his friends (the other children under Ovuokio’s care). I do not worry at all when I drop NJ in the care of Ovuokio because I know he is safe and in the right place. The children bond with each other and this extends to Ovuokio’s own children who also play a big part in the children’s well-being and upbringing.

She keeps memories of what the kids do by taking photos and videos and do not fail to send it to me which I find very caring and touching as it makes a huge impact and difference.

I will recommend Ovuokio Childminding Services to anyone especially those who are apprehensive and reluctant about hiring a Childminder. You will not be disappointed at all.
