Iren

The best childminder for my child.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our daughter’s сhildminder, Iren. When our child first started attending the setting, she was very shy, withdrawn, and hesitant to interact with other children or adults. But thanks to Iren warmth, patience, and professional approach, our daughter adapted very quickly.

Iren managed to find the right approach, and in a short time, we saw wonderful changes: our daughter became more confident, happily goes to the setting, eagerly interacts with other children, plays, and participates in group activities.

We truly appreciate the atmosphere of kindness, creativity, and support that Iren creates. The children are constantly engaged in interesting activities such as drawing, dancing, and educational games — all of which help them grow, discover the world, and enjoy the process.

We are very thankful for the care, professionalism, and genuine attitude towards the children. It gives us peace of mind and joy knowing our daughter is in such good hands.

Thank you very much Natalia!🙏🥰❤️

Wonderful Childminder

Our son has been with Iren from a very young age, and he has absolutely loved being looked after by her. He is always happy and excited to be spending the day there and loves seeing all his friends there. Iren has provided a very caring, supportive, and fun home-from-home environment in which our son has thrived. Her communication has always been excellent, with both children and parents. The children have a wide variety of activities during the day including plenty of time outside, feeding animals, arts and crafts activities, yoga, and the food Iren provides is healthy and varied. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding in the Eltham area.
Thank you, Iren !

A professional you can fully trust

We know Iren for the last few years. She has become a friend and a trusted childminder for our son Matthew. Matthew absolutely loves to go to Iren, his day usually starts with let’s go to Iren :)
The kids daily do some creative work. Matthew always brings results of his drawings and tells the story when they did the work together. Kids are doing yoga at Iren’s, go out to the park and see the farm animals. He is happy, smiling and there is always a story to share after the day with Iren.
For our family Iren is the professional, who we fully trust.

We highly recommend Iren❤️

Iren is very warm, friendly, responsible and experienced carer!
My Alice was really happy to spending time in her place! Her day was structured with activities, singing, painting, reading books and many hours in the park or somewhere outside!
I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their child !

Thank you very much for the review Lesia!❤️

Iren is our favourite childminder.

Iren was recommended to us by friends and our family is the happiest that we met her and she is our childminder. From the first meeting my girls loved her. She is very professional, caring and responsible. They do lots of things: learning , puzzles, painting, yoga , reading and the piece of work that they do on that day they are bringing home , such a good way to know that your child improve their skills everyday. She is taking them to playground and outside for walks no matter if is raining or not . Also what is appreciate that she cooks good and health food and provides range of fruits. I totally recommend her and i do consider that anyone need a childminder like Iren.

Amazing care provided, my son loves going t Iren's

We have known Iren for over 2 years. We met at a weekly playgroup that Iren used to runs as her charity project. My 2 y. o. son is looking forward to his time with Iren't every single time. He tells me all about various interesting things they do and brings his piece of work home with pride. Iren makes sure the children get every opportunity to develop their motor, mental, language and even academic skills from an early age. They spend a lot of time outside and eat healthily. At the end of the day Iren sends a report and some pictures from the day. I am 100% satisfied and strongly recommend Iren as a childminder. My boy is very happy with her.

Reliable and highly recommended childminder

Our daughter had spend over 2 years under Iren’s care and we could not be more happy with this choice! My girl was alway looking forward to spend another day in “Iren’s house” which was so nicely arranged and carefully prepared for a day where a child could have safe and engaging environment. Iren is very caring and professional childminder, each day we had a picture report on kids activities and we had full trust in her to look after my child. Thank you, Iren!

Brilliant childminder with huge experience

The best childminder ever, she is also a friend, teacher and second mother. My son attended Irene’s Daycare for a year and a half; he first arrived when he was only one year and seven months old, and stayed with Irena until he was three years old. It was a wonderful time when he learned to hold a spoon, feed himself, learned to count and developed excellent motor skills. Every day she enveloped him in a new world of knowledge and he developed very quickly. Irena instilled in him a love of creativity and mathematics, and after each visit he brought back different types of fakes. In terms of food, everything was good, many foods that he did not eat at home, he gladly ate at Iren, he especially liked the picnics, which he still remembers. Ira became our family friend, we are very grateful for the love and warmth with which she surrounded my child, he loves her very much. Feel free to contact her, she is a wonderful person and will make a huge contribution to your child’s preschool development.

The best childcare you will find

Iren has been my daughter’s childminder for over a year now. I can not recommend her services enough! If you are looking for a creative, stimulating and healthy environment for your child look no further.
Every day the kids have a lot of creative development activities, spend a lot of time outside learning about the natural world and feast on balanced home cooked meals.
Iren is the most caring and loving childcare professional I met. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always stays on top of latest developments in early years education.
My daughter is upset that she can not go to Iren on the weekends. I think this in itself the best review.

Iren's childcare 🌟

Iren is a very responsible, kind and warm person who has such a positive attitude to life and to children's development and education. She has a particular talent for arts/crafts and develops projects that children love! Iren was much adored by my younger son while in her care. Her planning of time/projects/home organising is excellent. Would most definitely recommend Iren's childminding services as believe every child would find time around her enjoyable whether out and about or in her friendly home surroundings.
