Hi all, I'd totally recommend Aga.
She is a lovely person, always organized at work,highly professional and reliable.
My daughter loves it there. The groups are small, the setting itself is spacious and clean and Aga really connects with the kids. Aga has always shown a focus on nurturing every child's individual interests and development and what is most important kids feel like at their second home in Aga's.
The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming.
All in all couldn't ask for more, highly recommend👌

Thank you so much for your kind words Bogusia.It feels so good to know that the parents and children are happy with my service.It’s the best work I’ve ever wished for to be able to provide the care and love for each and every child that has come to my setting.All good luck to you and Julia!
Being an English person with a Polish wife, it was important for us that our child has as much exposure to Polish language as possible, since we knew once she is going to normal school, she'll have plenty of English influence there. We struggled to find any kind of language forward setting for Polish speaking kids, but Aga was a lifesaver. They sing songs, do activities and converse in Polish which is vital for learning the language. Aga has also been very accomodating and is extremely helpful and easy to approach. Our daughter comes home clean, fed and happy!
Aga keeps us updated about daily activities and sends us photos. We trust her and we whole heartedly recommended her!

Unfortunately we are moving out from Croydon area in April. Actually Aga was the main reason why we decided to stay in the area slightly longer than we have planned. My friend Natalia recommend Aga as the best childminder I could wish to meet for my son. Filippo’s first day was a day after his 2nd birthday. Aga was very honest, and straight away told me she is going to let me know if Filippo is ready or is too early for him. Aga is great with kids. She has very warm personality but the most important she is teaching them discipline. Filippo loves Aga’s house. Always very tidy and well organised and we love the fact that she has a cat and dog. My son Filippo is half Polish and aside of have learned English thanks to Aga he speaks Polish too. Overall you can wish for a better person than Aga! Filippo is going to miss Aga and his friends.

Aga is a great professional very well educated, organised at work and with a big heart for what she does. She was first teacher for my little daughter and my daughter just loved her. Nothing else needed to know that your child is in good hands. My daughter has been learned so many things to become more independent toddler ☺️. I do recommend Aga.

I couldn't ask for better person to take care of my first born daughter!!
As overprotective first Time Mom, it was hard to let Agnieszka (or anyone) to keep an eye for my little one. But she is amazing, in what she is doing.
You won't regret, leaving your precious Child with her. I'm more than grateful to Agnieszka , for how she took care of my daughter. Mia was always feed well, clean, with huge smile on her face, after all Day of fun and joy.
I have cried on the first and last day of Mia day care with Agnieszka. That's how truly close to our hearts she become.
If we have not moved to different area, I would be still using her service, as there no better childminder than Agnieszka.
Highly recommended!

As a first time mom the stress you go through in order to find a right place and right person for your child is incredible. My son joined Aga's group at the age close to 2 yo. Within the first day I was reassured and I knew this was the perfect place for him. The care and love he receives we all felt very quickly. He is now 3,5 yo and he loves spending time with his colleagues and Aga. She plays a huge role in his life and development. He has become very independent in his day to day life and very creative. Aga is always happy to offer assistance and honest opinion along with advice. I can truly say she is like extended family. I cant wait to send my second little one however he still needs to wait his turn 😍

Thank you Maya!
It was a pleasure to have cared for you little boy and to have known you all.
Aga is well respected childminder by her pupils and by the parents who leave their children in safe hands. From the very first day of settling my son loved the environment and blended in with other children in no time. Aga carefully observe each needs of the children and set appropriate tasks for individuals to help develop essential skills.
She promote independence , respect, manners and hygiene. The only downside that I found is that all children are going for a nap regardless the age group as some children don’t have routine of napping through the day. I still would recommend her to any parent as the child really learn a lot and enjoy being there.

Thank you Gosia for the review.It was a pleasure to have your little one with me.In response to a nap time ,yes all children that I care for in my setting go to sleep after lunch.For young kids to get enough of it, most need some daytime sleep it is a much-needed downtime that aids the important physical and mental development that happens in early childhood.Some of the most important reasons why naps are so important:Naps enhance learning, are linked to better emotional regulation,naps support better nighttime sleep. Recent researches fund that when the children were allowed a siesta after lunch they performed significantly better on a visual-spatial tasks in the afternoon and the next day than when they were denied a midday snoozeFollowing a nap, children recalled 10% more of the information they were being tested on than they did when they had been kept awake.
Close monitoring of 14 additional youngsters who came to the researchers' sleep lab revealed the processes at work in the brain during asleep.
As the children napped, they experienced increased activity in brain regions linked with learning and integrating new information.Rebecca Spencer(University of Massachusetts Amherst) said: "Essentially we are the first to report evidence that naps are important for preschool children.
"Our study shows that naps help the kids better remember what they are learning in preschool."
I have always felt very comfortable leaving my son with Aga, knowing she provides a caring, friendly, loving and safe environment. My son has settled in there from our first visit. Aga setting is perfectly set up with lots of toys. She 8s extremely knowledgeable about child development and will shere her experience with you. During the day she sends updates and photos which are really reassuring your child is safe and enjoying the time. I couldn't imagine better place for my son. I can see he become more independent and more open to other people.
I would recommend her to everyone.
