About Me

I am an Ofsted registered childminder, running a unique childminder's setting called Precious Explorers Home Nursery since August 2015. Looking after 6 children at the time, 3 of which under the age of 5. I used to care for upto 12 children at the time with 2 lovely assistants. However, I decided to reduce the numbers in order to spend more quality time with my daughters and to be able to provide closer, more individual care to the childminded children. I have 4 children of my own 11, 9, 6 years old and 19 months old girls, therefore I am able to care for additional 2 children only.

My house is child friendly with hammock, playhouse and trampoline in the garden, located near lovely parks in Fulham (South Park, Ealbrook Common and just opposite is the Pineapple park). I embrace Montessori aproach of respect for a child, encouraging independence and use classroom as a teacher.

I have 14 years of experience in working with children, a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and a never ending passion for teaching and learning. I have completed the first year of biomedicine, as part of Nutritional Therapy course at the College of Naturopathic Medicine and provide healthy balanced meals for children.

I genuinely love children’s company and the way they make me laugh. I am very well organised and enjoy seeing children develop, enhance their independence and confidence.

I look forward to hearding from you,

Karolina Bigott, BA (Hons) ECS

Amazing

5 stars

Karolina has been taking care of my son for two years. He was 6 months when he began and has developped into an amazing little boy thanks to Karolina and her team.
They are really caring and attentive to the children’s needs, and very happy to follow their routines.
The playgroups, music sessions, Montessori classes, etc... are very well balanced to keep the children entertained. But he has also learned to play on his own, which is a great skill I believe.
The food is great: home-cooked, organic, very varied and delicious.
They send great photos and videos of the children during the day.
Karolina and the girls are like family for our son, I could not recommend her more!

Amazing

5 stars

karolina and her team are doing a great job.
My 1 year old and a half daughter has been under her care for 2 months and they are having great activities (painting, singing, going to the museum, to the farm, etc.).

They are cooking amazing healthy food and leading children to independence.
They are trustworthy and very professional.
My daughter really looks happy since she is attending this nursery.

Caring and Nurturing

5 stars

Karolina and her assistants have been looking after my daughter since she was 13 months old. The environment is calm and I like the language they use when they talk to the children as it is always very positive and sends the message to them that they are valued. My daughter has developed a great rapport with her key worker, Paula who is super kind and lovely. My daughter always returns home clean, she has never once needed to use her spare clothes. I receive several photos/videos throughout the day which is very reassuring. Karolina has been very flexible and will always do her best to accommodate parents' requests. She is very experienced and has given me lots of advice throughout the months regarding different aspects of childcare and even visited us in our home to help my daughter feel more comfortable in her house the next day. She and her assistants really love children and are passionate about their job and I am thankful for all they do for my little one.

impressive

5 stars

I was in a very desperate situation and very apprehensive at leaving my children with someone last minute. However on arrival first thing I noticed was the level of cleanliness of the play area for children. The set up was most suitable for both my children aged 4 and 20 months. My children settled within minutes and were not even concerned about where I was. The home is welcoming and very well organised.
When I met Karolina I felt an immediate warmth and caring nature which my children responded to straight away. My children were at ease within minutes even tho they were in a strange home.
I was already at peace with leaving my children.
All through the day I received pictures and reports of how my children were doing. I didn't have to call to check in Karolina kept me updated all day.
I was most impressed with the variety of activities the children had from mandarin lessons to playing in the park to play groups and story time. It was all very impressive as I thought most childminders would simply watch your children to ensure they are safe and with an adult, however Karolina entertained, educated and looked after the children. They were well fed all day.
On pick up I noticed how clean the children were, and how happy they were. They were very happy with their day and were eager to return.
Karolina not only offers an impressive service but a home away from home for your children. I will not hesitate at all to leave her with my kids as I know they are in very good hands.
Karolina is a warm individual yet professional and reliable. She is gem and a true childminder.

Dear Maureen,
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I was smiling all the way then reading. I was a pleasure looking after them and I look forward to seeing them again.;:)

Excellent

5 stars

I have been extremely happy with the care my daughter has received. She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know my daughter has recently enjoyed drawing and sticking, as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the woods. She completes a diary detailing what my daughter has done each day. From this I have a complete picture of her whole day including what she has eaten, what they did. I would absolutely recommend her as a great and reliable childminder.

Dear Justyna,
Thank you for finding the time to do this review. It was a pleasure to look after your daughter. I wish you all the best for the future.
Best wishes,
Karolina

Great activities with the children

5 stars

My son is under Karolina´s care since over 2 months. I must say, he is very happy as non of days spending with her looked same. If there is a museum, park trip, football or swimming pool, Karolina is very organised and always make sure that kids heaving high level of activities provided. All children at Karolina´s nursery getting also involved into preparing some of the meals, like making pancakes or backing cookies.

Karolina give me all the information needed about my son activities and his progress. Very good communication between nursery and parent.

I am very happy to have chosen Karolina and can only highly recommend her services to other parents.
