My Summary
About Me
My name is Aggie, I'm 48 and I have a daughter age 11 and two lovely, friendly dogs.
I have an airy and spacious home with separate playroom with plenty of space for children. I have a large and sunny garden that provides all sort of opportunities for children to learn. I have a trampoline, water table, sand play and variety of other outdoor toys to entertain the little ones such as ride-on toys, wheelbarrows, climber and slide. I believe that nature has a wonderful effect on both children and grown-ups therefore we spend a lot of time outdoors regardless the weather. Children have time outside every day. We play in the garden, go for walks, go to farms, woodlands and the beach. Plenty of opportunity to burn off the energy!
I often take children to playgroups in the morning or rhyme time at the library, which is an all-time favourite. Every week we all go to the library and choose new books to read or do some activities that are on offer.
Children have access to variety of toys and they are free to choose to play with whatever they like. I have an extensive library and children are welcome to help themselves whenever they want to look at or read a book. I love reading and I read with children every day. We often use finger or glove poppets and children find that very inspiring.
My daughter is very good with my mindees and thoroughly enjoys company of little children. She’s a great helper and often reads with children, builds things out of lego with them or helps with activities such as crafts, which gives her opportunity to engage her creative side.
I provide healthy, home cooked meals that I prepare myself and there’s always at least one hot meal during the day. Children have access to water or milk all day. Favourite meals are pasta with various sauces, chicken and vegetables bake, omlette, green vegetables risotto, yoghurt and fruits for puddling.
I aim to provide a warm and caring second home for your child with plenty of opportunity to learn and have fun.
My Experience
I’ve worked first as a childminder’s assistant and now as a childminder since 2013. I thoroughly enjoy being around children and can’t imagine doing anything else.

Aggie has been minding my daughter since she was 6 months old. She will go to school in spetember and will miss her terribly. Aggie has been supportive of my daughters medical needs and has been supportive of any and all medicines and physio she needed. I cannot speak highly enough of her and the fun and educational time my daughter has spent with her. She is outside as much as possible and has made friends with the other children that will not end with school. My daughter also has a great relationship with Aggie's daughter and feels a real sense of belonging within the household.
Sending her here was the best decision I made for her and myself.
We have been working with Agata for the last 4 months, as a childminder for our home educated 6 year old one day a week. Our daughter struggles with being away from home, but thoroughly enjoys her time with Agata who is very caring and patient with her.The are outdoors a lot, and do lots of interesting activities at home. Agata also provides food, which is always greatly enjoyed. Agata is very flexible, having also taken our son as a one off when his childcare fell through. Our daughter is very fond of her, and we are really happy to have found such a gem.
