I also arrange age-appropriate educational activities following statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS) to help develop all skills from a young age.
I believe that young children benefit physically and emotionally from social environment therefore I attend local drops in's and make the best use of our community: parks, libraries, play centres & museums.

I have a quiet room for the children to take their naps during the day.

Below are the latest reviews for Little FriendlyHouse. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

We’ve had the pleasure of sending both our children to Little Friendly House in their formative years. Our happy little girl has been attending Little Friendly House since she was 1 and is now going to school, and then attending the after school care alongside her big brother. We have been so lucky to have had LFH in our lives as we genuinely feel it has shaped them into the happy little people that they are. It’s always felt like a family setting, especially as we have no local family nearby. The food is prepared lovingly, quality is top notch and they have both entered school without so much as a blip, only confidence and deep security in her big people should she ever need it.
I cannot recommend LFH enough, and our family has cherished Alicja, Sara and her team for always treating us like family.

We first met Alicja back in 2021 after moving to Kensal Rise and looking for after school care for our 3-year old son who was about to join the nursery class at Princess Frederica School. Alicja came highly recommended through other parents and we quickly realised how high in demand she was as getting a space wasn't easy! Since then, we have continued to trust Alicja and her team to provide some after school care for our son who is now 6, and importantly, have also trusted them with full time care for our now 2-year old daughter since she was just 6-months old. Alicja and her team are very passionate and professional. Our daughter loves going every day; she is always so happy and walks through the blue door with a big smile on her face. We have been so grateful for the friendly, nurturing and fun environment they provide and highly recommend them.

We have been so happy that we sent our daughter to Alicja. Alicja is like extended family to us - our daughter started with her at 13 months and she is now almost 3.
Alicja creates a fun and nurturing environment for our daughter, with a wide range of fun activities and external trips, and it's obvious that she cares deeply for all the children she looks after.
Alicja sends us lovely photos and videos of our daughter's adventures, and always keeps us informed about every aspect of her care. Her home is safe, clean, and well-equipped. She home cooks all their food and our daughter eats better there than she does with us!
We have have had no concerns about the care our first daughter has received, so much so that we are hoping to send our second daughter to Alicja's when she turns one next year.

For the last two years our daughter has been minded by Alicja and Sara at Little Friendlyhouse. The environment provided by them is beautiful, warm, nurturing and loving, and we trust them emphatically that they will always look after our daughter with all the care and attention she needs. We could never not consider or forget Little Friendlyhouse for the loving impact they have had on our daughter.

Alicja has looked after my little boy for the past 1.5years and she is honestly amazing. She has been an absolute blessing for our family. Her warm, nurturing, and professional approach has made all the difference in my son's development and happiness. Every day, he looks forward to spending time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of each child in her care. From creating fun, engaging activities to providing a safe and loving environment, Alicja goes above and beyond. She’s been more than just a caregiver; she’s become a trusted extension of our family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are so grateful for everything she’s done for us!
