Latest reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Silvia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members 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.
Our daughter, Rosie, has been looked after by Silvia full time until she recently turned 3 and we left London. We agonised over the decision to move away from London for months purely because of Silvia. She is the kindest, warmest and most caring person who has looked after our daughter as if she was her own child. Rosie has utterly blossomed over the past two years in Silvia's care! For us, Silvia provides the perfect balance between a nursery setting and a nanny: she provides the 1:1 care and attention that we feel is so important for our young child, yet the activities, playgroups, time outdoors and time with other children provides the necessary socialising skills that is also important. There is a reason Silvia is rated outstanding by Ofsted! Rosie has made wonderful friends in her time with Silvia, including with Silvia's 11 year old son who is an angel, and the other 3 children that come on various days and afternoons.
It has been 5 weeks since we left Balham and not a day goes by that Rosie doesn't ask to see Silvia as well as the other children. I really can't recommend her enough and would be so happy to speak to any prospective parent about our experience (feel free to get in touch with me at laurenleighstewart@gmail.com). If you're looking for childcare that will leave you feeling at peace everyday after dropping off your child knowing they'll be looked after so well, will get the sleep they need, eat well and overall just have a lovely day in a kind and nurturing environment, then this is the perfect place.
