I highly recommend Ilona as a childminder. I am happy that my son is under her care. During this time, I can easily go to work and I know that my child is safe, has a great time, is fed and clean. Ilona does a fantastic job of organizing time for my son. My child is involved in various activities, such as painting, dancing, reading. He also spends nice time outside where the garden is fantastically equipped for children. I am also happy that Ilona takes my son to the playground. The house is very clean, there are a huge number of toys for children and I see new ones appearing all the time. I appreciate very much the constant contact with her. Ilona is very nice, friendly and a fantastic childminder! Every time I pick up my son, he is happy and smiling. Thank you Ilona for your fantastic job! You are the best! ❤️

After taking our daughter out of a nursery setting due to her being so unhappy, I was concerned sending her to a childminder. Absolutely no regrets sending her to Ilona. Ilona is an absolutely fantastic, caring, thoughtful and bubbly person. She helped our daughter settle very quickly, with reassurance, kindness and caring for her as if she was her own. Ilona cooks homemade meals every single day (very jealous by the photos sent to me and dad) our daughter has tried and ate a lot of different foods that we didn’t think she would eat, lots of activities available, visits to the park, making pizza, fajita’s honestly the list goes on. We get photos throughout the day with what our daughter’s been doing honestly, We can not recommend or thank Ilona enough. We will be very sad when our daughter starts school as Ilona (and her food) will be greatly missed.

I highly recommend Ilona to every parent. She is trustable, honest and has knowledge about children. We were in town and she took care of my son even though he can not speak very well.
Thanks again Ilona

We would like to recommend Ilona , who was looking after our daughter for over 5 months, for her caring nature, creativity, being professional and experienced childminder. Our daughter, who is now 2 , was looking forward to spent everyday there, as she loved the activities like bubbles disco, rhymes, crafts, baking and vast variety age appropriate books and toys. Ilona served delicious food which our daughter liked and they went on daily walks to the playgrounds ( there are a few in the walking distance) or spend time in a garden, which was enclosed and well equipped - slide, climbing frame, mud kitchen ect., everything you'd need to have fun or exploring around. Our daughter made friends with kids in the group and was looking forward to meet them in the morning for play. Ilona was always keeping us updated and we received daily photos to see what activities our daughter was doing. Communication was smooth, replies were quick and Ilona was accommodative and flexible with our requests. We strongly recommend Ilona to any parents who are looking for a caring and professional childminder, "home away from home " setting. We would like to thank Ilona for her care, attention, patience and love , as our daughter will miss her dearly ❤️

Although my little boy only stayed with Ilona for a short period of time due to us moving to a different town,
I could see that he was getting more and more comfortable being in her care as each week passed by.
Ilona is a very knowledgeable childminder who gave me a lot of advise as a first time mum :)
I knew my boy was in safe hands and Ilona would send me a lot of pictures thought the day which was amazing because you knew exactly what your baby was up to.
I would definitely recommend Ilona to anyone looking for a professional childcare.
