Our son met Jagoda almost a year ago, when he was a bit under a year old and scared to be left somewhere. Now he waves me by bye and runs to her, happy and content. Jagoda provides safe, healthy, fun environment, full of fun, both indoors and outdoors. Kids grow all their skills and develop independence, Teddy washes his hands every time first thing coming in the houses and no, I was not the one who taught him that. It’s just that perfect home outside of home environment you want to leave your child to. Thank you! ☺️

Jagoda has been an incredible childminder for our little one since she was just 7 months old. From the very beginning, she created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment that made us feel completely at ease. Jagoda is not only kind and patient but also highly attentive to each child’s individual needs.
She has a wonderful way of engaging children with fun activities that encourage learning and development. Maddie has thrived in her care, becoming more confident and happy every day. Jagoda's communication with us as parents has also been excellent—always keeping us updated and reassured. She will go out of her way to help us when ever we have needed extra hours.
We feel Jagoda has been like a second mom to Maddie. She is always excited when we tell her she is going to Jagoda's house.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder, and we’re so grateful for the love and care she has given. Maddie has truly flourished in her setting. We Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a dedicated and trustworthy childminder!

Jagoda is a very friendly and professional childminder. My son (aged 6) had a very positive experience with her and enjoyed her company. She communicates well and I always felt my son was safe and happy with her.

I was very nervous about my daughter going to a childminder, but as soon as we met Jagoda, my daughter (then 18 months old) and I felt at ease and comfortable, my daughter didn’t want to leave. Jagoda has been looking after my daughter for a year now and I am very content with how happy she is going to her. Jagoda is very nurturing and kind, she has created a lovely home for children to enjoy and she spends a lot of time outdoors, which my daughter loves. I often receive pictures and updates throughout the day which puts my mind at ease to know she is happy.
I couldn’t recommend Jagoda enough!

Jagoda has been looking after my daughter since she was 11 months old, and my daughter is now 2. Jagoda has always been very trustworthy and great at appeasing parents’ worries, giving useful advice. She cares and looks after my daughter in an excellent way, is holistic in approach. She plans lots of outdoors, adventurous and creative activities for my daughter which provides a lovely environment for her growth and wellbeing. Jagoda has a great manner with children, is gentle and considers their specific learning needs and strives to make these adaptations. Jagoda also provides me with useful learning and reading material as a parent which I really value and has a wealth of experience and insight.

Jagoda is a great childminder. She looked after my little boy five days a week between the age of 1 and 2 years and she occasionally had my three-year-old daughter too. I was a little anxious about leaving my son after lockdown but she very quickly put me at ease and he settled in well. She is very proactive in taking the children out to various parks, woods, attractions, libraries and toddler groups and she is very passionate about ensuring the children get plenty of exercise and time outdoors. She is warm, caring and honest and would regularly update me on what my son was doing with pictures and messages. I would highly recommend her.

Jagoda has been looking after my 3,5 year old daughter for almost a year now. She is a dedicated childminder, who really pays attention to individual needs of each child. My daughter has great time whenever she stays with Jagoda and her lovely family. I really appreciate the fact Jagoda updates me on what they are doing during the day, sending pictures of all the fun they have together. Jagoda makes sure children stay active, spending a lot of time outdoors and providing various types of activities during the day. She also creates a truly loving, caring environment that feels just like home for my little girl.

Jagoda looked after my 13 months old child for an afternoon while I was visiting Hertford. We communicated via messages and phone calls before that day and both my daugther and I felt immediately at ease once we arrived at her place. She kept me informed of how things were going during the day and the child had a lovely time with her.
I will definetely call her again in case I will be back to Hertford!
