My Summary
About Me
A Bee C Childcare.
My name is Simona Lorincz , I'm a registered childminder, and I live in Telford, Shawbirch area with my husband, who is my registered assistant and our children Edward 19 years old and Alexander 17 years old.
I have been an Ofsted registered childminder for over 14 years, providing excellent quality care for children in a friendly, stimulating, and safe home environment.
I have been graded Good 2 times and Outstanding ones by Ofsted.
My main aim is to encourage and enable children to develop in their early years and do all that I can to ensure that they have the best possible start in life.
I like to encourage learning in a fun, interactive, safe, home style environment and aim to ensure that each child reaches their full potential.
I have a large spacious house with a large garden and a dedicated play room with lots of resources to provide an inviting environment allowing children to have a curiosity approach and lots of freedom to explore open ended educational resource.
I provide stimulating resources and activities for your child’s age and stage of development, such as loose parts, role play, arts and crafts, music making, singing, dancing, storytelling, dressing up, cooking and baking, messy play, sensory play and many more. We have lots of toys that support creativity and imagination.
We can play outside all year round in a secure, enclosed garden with a patio and lawn. We have a pergola which gives is the possibility to be outdoors even in a wet days.
There’s a slide, mud kitchen, playhouse, sandpit, water table, gardening, natural resources, and selection of bikes, scooters, and rides on toys.
I also take the children on adventures such as outings to local gardens and parks, the library, farms, woods, soft play walks and nature trails around the lake and woodland, National Trust visits, and other local attractions and play groups.
Activities and outings will be planned regularly to help your child learn and progress through the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage).
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, giving the same learning and development opportunities as any nursery but in a calm and comfortable home setting where your child can feel safe, settled, and secure. Being amongst a smaller group of children means I can give more one to one attention and match your home routine wherever possible.
Thank you for considering me to care for your child.

Thank you Simona for all the love and care you and your family have given to our two children during these years.
With our bilingual environment, you helped our kids to develop good skills for their language communication.
We really appreciate all the trips to different locations and activities that had enriched our kid's awareness and sense of the world.
We are really thankful for the time you taught our kids. Watching them being so independent and capable of doing so many things, make us happy to have chosen you as part of our family for over these 3 years and half.
We recommend 100% new parents to join your childcare and support.
All the best wishes for you and your family.

Couldn’t ask for anything more. Our twins have been with Simona and her husband for over a year and more than just childminders they have become our friends. The care is amazing, the kids love going and they do so many wonderful outings and trips. They push for good manners, independence and respect from the girls every day. This isn’t just a business to them it’s letting the children in to their lives as part of their family.
Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed.

Our son has been with Simona since his first birthday, he is almost 2, and we couldn't be happier with Simona and her husband who take care of him. the only thing that matters to us as parents is that our son feels happy, comfortable and safe when he is not with us, we are not exaggerating when we say that he is in the best place with the best people not only to take care of him, there are many things that our son has been able to develop in this time, Simona is a very attentive, professional and careful person, the extra? As if that were not enough, she adapts to your needs and schedule.
We have no experience with other childcare, but we are absolutely convinced that we chose the right one.

Simona has been looking after my daughter for nearly a year now, Willow was 9 months old when she first started. As time has gone on Willow has become settled and created a lovely bond with Simona, as she would a teacher or a friend.
Simona is very welcoming, she made a brilliant first impression and her environment is very tidy, clean and well organised to suit the children's needs.
I am very pleased I chose Simona to look after my daughter as returning to work after maternity leave is never easy for any first time mum but I know my child is safe and secure and I felt comfortable leaving Willow with her!
Simona has encouraged and helped Willow with weaning onto solid foods and provided me with great advice when I needed it :)
Simona is very reliable and adaptable as she has accommodated my Husband's shift pattern which has helped us out a lot.
Her priority is to ensure she brings out the best in any child and educate them with all they need to learn and grow.
Simona takes time to take the children to little play groups, which has helped Willow develop her social skills and she has even took the children to the Zoo during half term holidays.
Unfortunately as Willow was a lockdown baby I was unable to take her to playgroups and other places while I was on maternity leave.
I am very happy Simona has given Willow these opportunities, any child would be lucky to have her as their Childminder :)

Simona started taking care of our daughter E. when she was 11 months old. We decided to pick Simona because we got a very good impression when we first met. Her house was very clean and her level of organisation was outstanding. Simona organises all the toys in different categories and is always seeking for new activities for the children to further develop their knowledge. She pro-actively seeks for new educational activities that can help the children to learn.
With Simona, our little one learnt to hold hands when in the street, to stop when asked to and other safety commands. Also started to learn the colours and counting. Simona adapts the teachings to each child needs. She is very knowledgeable and you can go to her for advice as she is always happy to help. Her number one objective is to bring out the best potential of the children she takes care of. In addition to that, she is so loving and caring that children feel safe and happy with her and her wonderful family, which also gives you peace of mind as a parent.
Simona is a reliable person that adapts to the children needs and also to the parents schedules. Communication is also one of her strengths, she encourages an open conversation and she is an understanding person.
During the time Simona took care of E. she created a strong bond with her but also with us. If I had to rate her I would give her a 10/10. She is a top professional. Any children under her care and her/his parents will be very lucky to have her as heir childminder.

Simona has been my childminder for over four years. Her flexibility to suit her parent's needs and requirements to highlight her dedication to providing exceptional service. The outstanding level of commitment and care she provides for my children is superb. She is always punctual, well mannered and more than happy to discuss my child’s progress, needs and day.
My children adore her. They find her fun to be around and love the resources and activities she presents to them. She provides a safe and nurturing environment for my children that helps them with their learning and development. Rain or shine, the children are out and about whether it is toddler groups, a trip to the park or the farm the children are always active.
My family have been blessed to have Simona as our childminder. The support and service we have recieve has far exceeded our expectation and helped to ease our mind knowing our children are in a safe and secure environment. I wish her all the best and recommend to parents they will not be disappointed with Simona as their childminder.

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Simona. She was my son Shanley’s childminder from July 2016 until July 2018. Shanley was 8 months old when he started with Simona. My decision to choose Simona and remain with her for the 2-year period was due to the following reasons:
1. Simona is highly organized with her time with Shanley, therefore she enabled him to have different kinds of playing and learning that includes and does not restrict to associative play, parallel play (and several other forms of playing with various materials – organized by boxes and rotated every week), story and reading time, skill development (such as learning to put his shoes on by himself), singing, dancing, learning numbers and alphabets and recognizing them, etc. I have been to several childminders before that for interviews who left children in front of the television or were less engaged however Simona was actively involved in activities and kept Shanley engaged throughout his time with her.
2. Shanley also got to the best of both being with a childminder as well as learnings that he would get from a nursery with Simona. He had visited several parks, soft play areas, farms, libraries etc. that I believe was an integral part of his physical, cognitive and personality development. Simona would take him out for half a day for 3-4 days during the week and the rest half would be focused on other forms of playing, reading, craft, etc. He had a happy two years with her, kept him active and helped develop his vocabulary, skills and excellent behavior and manners. She also provided a schedule of where she took him and what she focused on.
3. Simona always kept me in the loop and understood Shanley as close as I did. She was hands-on, worked with his personality and helped me out with tips and tricks with her vast experience in childcare and development. As a new single mom, I found this particularly useful. She was also knowledgeable about behaviors, worked with my son’s allergies and other aspects of childcare in general.
4. Simona was flexible to work with. I initially didn’t have a car, she offered to pick him up in the morning. If there were times when I could not make it on time or had meetings later in the evening, Simona would support these needs.
5. Simona and her family were like family to Shanley. Had Simona not re-located, Shanley would continue to be with her. I believe that he was in a very healthy and safe environment at her home and I can see that reflects in Shanley’s behavior.

My son has been in Simona's care for more than one and a half years. She is a lovely and amazing childminder with an up-to-date knowledge about childcare and safety. She is very honest as a person who always prefer to give an honest opinion about my child. As a parent it's really important to know where a child is doing well and in what spheres, a child needs to improve. Simona is always been honest to highlight all the spheres of my child's growth and development. She always put an extra effort to make sure if a child is developing as per his/her age group. My child loves the friendly environment at her home and he loves all the family members of Simona's family. I would surely like to recommend her to the parents for their children if they are looking for the reliable, friendly, honest, accommodating, lovely and amazing childminder!
