My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Ewelina (Evelyn) and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder residing in Cottenham. With 17 years of experience working with children, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your little ones. I am member of PACEY, I hold a clean driving license, Public Liability Insurance, and a DBS.
My aim is to help children develop their unique personalities and boost their self-assurance through the seven areas of learning in the Early Years. I offer a warm, loving and safe environment for your child to be cared in. You will find my home to be a friendly and pleasant place for children to spend time where all children are treated with respect and valued as an individual.
I provide a wide range of fun and educational activities for kids, including music and movement, cooking, arts and crafts, outdoor physical activities, reading, games, and more. I support children's development before they start school. Additionally, twice a week, I take the children to a local toddler group to help boost their social skills and overall development. This opportunity allows them to interact with other kids their age and learn valuable skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Ewelina has been looking after our now 3 year old son since he was 7 months old (4 days a week) and our 8 year old daughter after school 2 days a week...and honestly we couldn’t be without her - she is an absolute superstar in every way. My husband and I can work the hours that we need to work and more importantly our children truely adore Ewelina and love her looking after them. Her care and attention has supported their development both physically and mentally, teaching them through fun and education. We highly recommend Ewelina a million times over. Happy children, happy parents. Thank you for everything you do for them which makes our work/life balance that much easier.

Ewelina has been childminding my Son for 18 months now. My daughter also attends after school 2 days a week.
I have been extremely happy with the care Harry has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Ewelina's care. Ewelina's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Harry has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise, outings to the park and attending toddler groups.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care both my children receive and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping them develop into confident and self assured children.
I would absolutely recommend Ewelina as a great, reliable and professional childminder.

Our son has been going to Ewelina since he was about 11 months old. My anxieties about returning to work and putting my only child into childcare were quickly forgotten with the kind and supportive care provided by Ewelina to my son, and also me as a new mum.
It is so evident that Ewelina really does care about all the children individually and shows such genuine investment in their development. The activities she does with all the children are stimulating, appropriate and teaches them such a variety of skills. My son is so happy to go to Ewelina’s, which is so reassuring for me. And I can tell he has enjoyed his day with her and the other children. I saw a huge improvement in his social skills, language, even meal times by being around the other children.
I also feel that Ewelina has been very supportive to anything happening at home such as a bereavement or the arrival of our second child which have all impacted on our son and again she has accommodated this with such kindness.
I have highly recommended Ewelina to everyone I know, for us a childminder suited what we wanted for our son. I really feel Ewelina has been able to treat our son as an individual and accommodate his routine, special interests and engage his imagination with all the exciting things she does for the children. My house is full of themed artwork from throughout all the various seasons and holidays throughout the year. I can’t believe how much she can get done with a variety of ages and ability of child.
With the stresses of life and juggling work, commuting and childcare, to have your child happy and stimulated in a safe, friendly environment has been one less stress for us. I could not be without Ewelina!

Ewelina offered us a lifeline when we had to remove our son from his previous childminder and, being extra cautious, we weren't prepared for how wonderful, caring and nurturing a childminder could be. Our son took to Ewelina almost instantaneously because of her nature, and the lengths she went to understand our son's strengths and weaknesses. From the second day onwards, one of his first thoughts was to see her, and also the little friends he made that she also cares for. Although his time with Ewelina has been short (we're travelling overseas for the birth of our second child), we've seen such a wonderful and dramatic transformation in our son - not only in his character and language development, but also his ability to play, interact with others, learn new skills and feel more self-aware and confident. Just about every day was different for him, and now we're looking at a larger fridge for all the drawings he brought him.
I've been a teacher for almost seventeen years and, as a director of a school here in Cambridge, I can't recommend Ewelina enough for the way she continues to bring out the best in children. I feel that any child that spends time in her care will enjoy every moment of it, change and grow a little every day, come home exhausted (but happy) and retell tales to mummy and daddy. This was the experience with our son, and we thank Ewelina with all our heart.
