It is rare the you come across standout talented and warn childminder like Simona.
My daughter, Anaya, was just over one year when my wife and I started to look for a child care for her. We were very worried about leaving Anaya with anyone for day long as my wife had to resume her job. We tried couple of nurseries but nothing worked out.
Then, we met Simona. After talking to her, we had some sort of confidence in her that we decided to send Anaya to her care. Simona drove the settling period very well, handling Anaya superbly, and most importantly keeping us updated at short regular intervals on how Anaya is doing - I think she understand parents anxiety very well.
She has loads of toys at home and also make children do various activities which are essential for their development. She takes children to parks and to other activities like music etc. I’ve seen my daughter learning new things every day, which is amazing.
Simona has exceptional knowledge about children psychology and what to expect from them at what age. Anaya was bit late in starting talking and we were very much worried. Simona explained us that nothing to worry about and provided us with tons of informative articles and papers. She worked quite hard on Anaya’s speech and now Anaya talks endlessly :)
Simona is a very warm and friendly person. She is extremely helpful and flexible. Many times she has gone out of the way to help me in various ways. When I had to travel for work, Simona really helped us with time adjustments and done favour to us by dropping Anaya whenever possible. If you have a problem, she is kind of a person who works with you to find a way out.
Simona worked with us on Anaya’s eating as she is a fussy eater, and so many other things. There have been many instances that I would like to mention but difficult to mention everything.
I’m highly delighted to recommend Sinoma to other parents without any hesitation. Any child would be lucky to have Simona as his/her childminder.

It is great pleasure that I recommend Simona as the best in providing childminding services.
When Simona took the appointment of looking after my daughter Kianna, I was sceptical of leaving my 8 months old baby with someone's care other than mine.But Simona's warm welcoming home made me feel at ease. The first week after the trial, she would text me while am at work to reassure me. Within a few days Kianna had settled in exceptionally well, I would go for long hours at work and never worry about a thing.Simona is very good in communication and flexibility is her key. Kianna has been with Simona from 8 months up until now she is 4 years and going to big school. I chose not to send Kianna to nursery as I felt Simona provided everything that Kianna needed. Kianna loves to be in Simona's care that even on holidays she misses her and ask when she is going back, its like her second mum and home.
Kianna provides educational activities for children, fun,field trips and a whole lot more. You get updates of your child's development and activities they do and its good because you get to engage in your child's development. Our relationship has grown stronger overtime, we have a very good understanding. When you pick up your child she summarises everything they have done, what she ate and even the little things during the day. I can rarely remember when Simona had sick off days from when I have known her. She gives advance notices about any holidays or appointments she has with her family if it clashes during weekdays. She is that good.
If you want your child to be happy,and you want a safe, warm, friendly environment I would recommend Simona any day, anytime.

My son Loki was with Simona for a year, I knew I can trust her from the first moment I saw her. She looked so well after Our son as he was nearly 5 months old when he started. The communication between us was brilliant and the care for Loki was the best he could get. We considered Simona as our second mum and enjoyed going to her. She helped us a lot when we needed it and been there for us through some bad moments. She is very flexible and a good listener. If you ever consider choosing a childminder I would say to go for Simona. We will keep in touch as we might need to get Loki back to her in the future. We are very thankful and wish her all the best.

My daughter Gia started going to Simona when she was 15months old as the previous nursery wasn't able to accommodate my shift work at the Airport. Simona was very helpful to look after my daughter on flexible 4on/2off basis for which I am really grateful.
I haven't had any problems with my daughter settling in because Simona was very patient, loving and caring. My daughter adores her and counts her two sons Edward and Alex as her best friends.
Simona achieves a great balance between fun and education and the children are taught to be friends and respect each other. She has a well stocked play room and gets children involved with all types of games, and activities while encouraging role play, taking them to different outgoings, parks, playgroups and play centres. My daughter has a choice of choosing the toys she wants to play with and I really like the one-to-one interaction between Simona and my daughter which you rarely find at nursery.
She also makes sure that my daughter gets at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and encourages her to try different foods as my daughter is a very fussy eater!
Simona also communicates with me and I feel I can talk to her about any worries I have.
I am very happy knowing that my daughter is in a safe environment.
I would highly recommend Simona as an ideal and committed child minder who has in her heart the interests and well-being of the children in her care.
