Katie's Reviews

Below are the reviews that Katie has written.
When our son's childminder told us she was moving out of London we were worried about finding another one. On meeting Danielle we felt immediately at ease. We are so happy that we chose Danielle. She is kind, caring and fun. Our son has formed a secure attachment with her. Her own children are lovely and Joy her cat is the most chilled out cat we've met! Our son adores Joy and seeing her is often a highlight of his day. Danielle is true to her profile on getting outside each day, trips to museums etc. She gives a good amount of feedback to us about his day and works closely with us to resolve any issues. We would highly recommend Danielle as a childminder.

Thank you both so much for this review it is so nice working together with parents who are so in tune with their child and willing to accept advice when to change direction or what's working or not working with their child.
He is a funny, bright and a clever little boy who we all adore very much. (cat included)
My youngest son started at Judit's when he was 2 years old after his previous childminder closed her business. Fortunately, Judit had a space at her setting (she had been recommended to me by another mum at my older son's school). My son settled quickly into her setting.
Judit provides a wide range of activities throughout the day, some structured and some free play. She utilises her large outdoor terrace as an extended play area to the inside space. Here they get to play on the slide, in the pretend kitchen, water play and learn to grow and care for plants. She regularly takes them to the nearby play park and to Wimbledon common. Judit provides good feedback via what's app and in person on what they have done during the day, often with photos. She provides a wonderful range of home cooked food (I would often think I'd like to try some of the dishes as they sound delicious!) and has also accommodated my son's picky eating by making sure that there is something that he will eat. Judit is excellent at fostering relationships between the children at her setting, especially relationships between different aged children. Her own children (primary school age) are sometimes there after school. They are kind and generous to the children at the setting, often playing games with them. My son has a very good relationship with them and now loves seeing them at school.
Not long after my son started, one of her older neighbours across the street, stopped my husband and said "you've struck gold sending your child to her. I often see her with the children going on a trip and there is a lot of laughter and happiness, she is very kind and patient with them". I think that sums up our experience with Judit, we definitely have felt that we struck gold in finding her.
