My son has been looked after by Silvana for the last two months and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gives him. Silvana’s calm and kind energy suits him perfectly. He seems to be very happy when he is with her, and is always in a good mood when I collect him. Silvana helps him with his development, encouraging him to crawl and hold himself up, she is extremely positive and we have been so pleased with his progress.
He loves to be outside so Silvana’s garden is a huge benefit as well as being so close to Clapham Common, takes him out everyday, which he really enjoys. Silvana sends thorough updates of the day through the app, explaining the days activities and his meals etc. Along with photos, in which, my son always looks so happy! He is provided with a great selection of meals, and she has helped him learn how to feed himself with a spoon and fork.
Overall I would highly recommend tiny steps as a childcare setting, I can’t thank them enough for being so kind to my little boy!

Our little one has been with Silvana's Tiny Steps since she opened her setting, and the joy and development we've already seen are remarkable. Silvana keeps us constantly informed with detailed diary entries, which include all the activities, meals, snacks, and new learnings and experiences, along with pictures. Her energy is impressive, as is her great planning, the large variety of activities she offers, and her creativity in designing plenty of different activities as well. We’ve also noticed her strong confidence when working with hesitant or anxious children, as she has a natural ability to reassure and engage them. It's clear she has extensive experience and a very strong understanding of her work. Silvana's Tiny Steps truly deserves a 5-star plus rating from our family. We feel so fortunate to have found such a nurturing and inspiring environment for our little one.

Silvana asked us to write a review for her, and I’m more than happy to do so! She has been providing childminding for two of my three children in South West London, and I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she offers. From the moment my kids step through her door, they can’t help but smile, feeling instantly welcomed and at ease, and when they are handed back to us at the end of the day, that smile remains, showing just how much they enjoy their time with her. It’s clear that Silvana genuinely enjoys spending time with them, and this joy is reflected in how happy they are whenever they go to see her and when they come back home.

Silvana has a wonderful balance of being both caring & affectionate, and strict regarding rules, which is exactly what I was looking for in a childminder. She knows how to set boundaries and - in a very respectful and understanding way - maintain discipline, which I greatly appreciate. My children respect her, and they feel safe and secure in her care. It’s comforting as a parent to know that Silvana not only keeps them entertained and smiling but also reinforces positive behaviors and values.

Overall, Silvana has been a fantastic childminder for our family, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and professional childminder. Unfortunately she's changing from our area to the Clapham Junction area. Thank you, Silvana, for all that you do!

Thank you, Silvana, for being such a wonderful part of our daughter’s life!
Silvana has been an incredible childminder for our daughter over the past 2 years, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provides. She provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where our daughter feels completely at ease. Silvana engages the children in a variety of stimulating activities that have helped our daughter grow in confidence and social skills. Her attention to healthy eating and nutrition is also commendable, ensuring that the children enjoy well-balanced, home-cooked meals.
What truly sets Silvana apart is her genuine love for the children in her care and her thoughtful approach to meeting each child’s individual needs. She keeps us well-informed with daily updates and photos, which always brighten our day. Silvana has become a cherished part of our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, dedicated, and professional childminder in South West London.

We've had a splendid experience with Silvana, because she is so loving and careful, and energetic. She has so many activities on the go each day, makes the little ones want to go to see her every day, made our children settle in very quickly, preparing flawless healthy food for them, and is very protective to make sure there's no harm or injury risk. Overall we loved Silvana as a childminder!

Silvana is a brilliant childminder. We couldn't imagine a more lovely and safety conscious childminder and she has a beautiful home, with a garden as well! My daughter adored Silvana, and she has made her home perfectly safe, and really knows how to be nurturing and loving.
