Fantastic childminder

5 stars

Karolina runs an amazing and caring childminding practice. We entrusted her with both of our children, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. She cared for our daughter Olivia from the age of 2 until 4 and a half, and now she looks after our son.

Karolina is the kindest and most patient person. Her home provides a safe and nurturing environment where little ones can thrive and learn new skills. She has a wonderful outdoor space where the kids spend lots of time exploring, learning about the world, and connecting with nature. Karolina also takes the children to a variety of fantastic groups and activities, ensuring they are always engaged and stimulated.

Her home-cooked meals are another highlight. Even my fussy eater is eager to try Karolina's dishes, which makes me so happy as a parent. Both of my children have been incredibly happy and have thrived under her care.

I couldn’t recommend Karolina highly enough to any parents looking for a safe, happy, and caring space for their child. She is truly exceptional at what she does!

Passionate childminder with patience & open heart

5 stars

After finishing my maternity and coming back to work I wanted to find a safe place for my at that time 1 year old daughter. I have asked mums at baby groups about private small nurseries in my area. Few contacts led me to Karolina, what I am very grateful for. My daughter is with Karolina over 1year now and she has learned a lot, she is fully taken care with love and patience. I can see her going to Karolina’s nursery with smile, courage and being happy about that. Me, feeling peaceful and being able to focus at work, while my child is with Karolina as knowing that she is in the best hands she can possibly be. Karolina communicates in very proffesional way, collaborating with us when introducing changes to the child which makes it super smooth, clear and stressfree. She is very warm, kind person but knowing how to bring the best and how to teach children good habits. My daughter developed a lot and It is supported by Karolina’s creative approach and open minded by showing kinds different things each day, teaching them singing, taking them to see animals and explore the nature. I really love the fact, that my child is with someone who has passion to being with kinds, dedicating the time and being really engaged. I can highly recommend Karolina from the bottom of my heart for her wonderful & very proffesional service, full of love. I am so grateful that there are such childminders like you, Karolina, with open heart to kids and full dedication. Thank you for you.

Thank you so much Anna for a wonderful feedback!
I couldn’t imagine anything better than that!
It has been an absolute pleasure looking after your little one and seeing her grow and learn every week 💕

Absolutely amazing and caring childminder

5 stars

Karolina looked after both of my children, first out first one who was quite an anxious child, but settled right in.

Two years later when we needed care for our second child, it was an obvious choice, we just came back to Karolina. And we were very pleased again!

They loved spending time with Karolina, her own children and their little friends - until now both of our children have very fond memories of their time spent there.
Karolina has a very rich curriculum for children to learn everyday, offers lovely home cooked meals and plenty of beautiful outings for children to learn and explore. Homely atmosphere created by her is much appreciated by all of the children who feel safe and very at home with Karolina.
