Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Basia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Basia is a very sweet person, very motherly, caring and kind. She is very nurturing and the children adore her. Basia looked after our daughter for a month on very short notice and we can not thank her enough. Our daughter loves her deeply and she was recommended to us by multiple sources in the area.
She invests a lot in the children she looks after. She gets to know them very well and encourages their different interests. I will definitely choose Basia again if I have another child.
For our child, Basia created a fun, calm, and creative atmosphere. Our child learned quickly from her and enjoyed going to her house each day. For us the parents, she was friendly, reliable, and incredibly helpful.
We certainly recommend her services
When looking for childcare upon going back to work, my husband and I were keen that our daughter was exposed to a stimulating, fun, loving ‘home-away-from-home’ environment. We have found exactly that with Basia and her family. Basia is an incredibly caring and patient individual. Our daughter clearly loves her time there. Every day is filled with an array of activities that not only enhance her development but are fun and engaging e.g. role play, sensory play, painting, singing, going to the park to name a few. Basia also ensures that our daughter has a varied and nutritious diet which gives me comfort going into the weekend when perhaps our standards miss the mark. As first time parents, Basia’s guidance and experience has been invaluable as well. We rely heavily on her from that perspective and she always makes time to help us navigate this new world. She is the most genuinely caring childminder we could imagine.
Basia looked after our son from the age of 1 for a year, until we moved away from Acton and I can honestly say I don’t know what we would have done without her. As first time parents her calm, reassuring manner, combined with common sense and a huge dose of fun was absolutely invaluable. She helped us through the difficult settling in period at the beginning (hard for both us and him as a Covid lockdown baby) and guided us through helping his development, dealing with challenges such as eating, sleeping and tantrums and I genuinely felt he had fun, was looked after well and really well fed with her. It wasn’t long before he was exited to see her at drop off in the mornings.
I was so nervous about starting him in childcare when I went back to work and spoke to a couple of parents whose children she looked after. One of them told me that one of the special things about Basia is that when she takes the children to the playground you can tell she genuinely enjoys playing with them and encouraging them. I found this to be true and 6 months after moving away we all still miss her.
She is a special person and an amazing childminder, can’t recommend highly enough.
My little girl has been going to Basia since 2017 and was always in such a good mood when I picked her up. Basia is very calm,kind, lovely and caring person who made my girl feel as at home. Basia takes kids out and about on education and fun visits and she always offers different fun activities for children at home. I would definitely recommend Basia to anyone. We miss Basia every day especially my girl. We are so happy and thankful to have found you. So of you need someone who can look after your kids Basia is The Right Person...
