My Summary
About Me
Fully booked until Jan 2024.
My name is Magda, I live in High Brooms next to a beautiful nature reserve "Barnett's Wood' ,local parks and schools.
At the moment I only do St. Augustine's Primary School wraparound childcare.
I am an easy going, patient, reliable person,enthusiastic about teaching little minds new skills, things useful in life.
I am also mother of 3 wonderful boys aged (10,19 and 22).
I love languages, I speak fluent Polish and can communicate in Spanish. My passion is travelling and dancing.
All my life I have worked with children, I love seeing how excited they are about simple things in life, how they learn new skills on a daily basis and how they develop and progress over time.
In my setting children learn both by play which is essential for childrens development and by carefully planned activities e.g topic activities, sensory plays,reading,story telling, math games,jolly phonics ,arts and crafts ,mark making, singing and many more.
I keep always in mind how important children's interests are and plan activities around them. When you respond well to kids interests and needs, you help them to build learning over time. I have a good curricumlum in place, which engages children of all age, so with time they will be ready for starting school.
Most of all, we have fun everyday no important sun or rain! We are spending good amount of time every day outside in the parks,garden,woods. Also regularly at playgroups, libraries ,soft plays etc.
Let your little ones come to me and you will not regret it!:)

Magda is a superb childminder who clearly cares deeply about the children in her care. My daughter adores her - often running back to her house crying when I come to take her home! Magda gives plenty of updates and pictures on what the children are up to, and you can see that she does tonnes of educational activities and outings into nature and soft plays. Magda is boundlessly warm, and the children love her and feel safe with her. We only wish we could stay with her longer!
Overall
Magda had my son 3 days a week from about 9 months old to around 1 and a half, and played a huge role in his development. They were always out doing fun activities and inside the home as well including sensory play. Her daily photo/video updates always kept my mind at ease so I always knew how he was and what he was getting up to, what he ate etc. Communication was fantastic. I would highly recommend Magda to anyone as she is so good with the kids. So sad we had to leave her due to our house move. 100% I would always trust her with my son

Madga looked after my son 4 days a week for a year, until he turned 3 and we moved him to pre-school. He thrived under her care, developing his numbers, letters, speech and play at such a speed whilst he was there. It was a joy to watch.
Magda was gentle yet firm with him when he was naughty, and was loving and kind when he didn't want to be apart from us - lock downs meant he was very accustomed to being at home the whole time! His socialisation came on loads.
Even now, 4 + months later and happily settled at pre-school Nick still asks when we are going to see Magda and if he can go and play at her house!
Her home is literally right next to the nature reserve, so outdoor time was plentiful!

Magda is truly the most wonderful Childminder we have ever had.
She is so kind and caring and our daughter absolutely loved going to her.
They would do exciting things EVERY day and Magda would set up fantastic activities for Beatrix to complete. They would follow themes each week, whether it be a Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs; all the activities were based around this theme and Beatrix would come home with artwork, cooking, nature pictures and more!
Magda‘s communication with us was absolutely fantastic. At lunchtime every day, I would receive photos of what they had been up to and a little synopsis of their morning. We were so incredibly sad to have to say goodbye to Magda as it was time for us to move on to nursery school. You will absolutely not regret choosing Magda to look after your child.
We need more people like Magda in the world! Thank you so much Magda for all you gave to Beatrix, we miss you every day.

With Magda, your child couldn’t be in better hands. Here’s why:
Magda started looking after our son before he turned 6 months old- he’s now started school and he still asks to see her.
Magda has been excellent every step of the way: Dexter found it very easy to fit into the routine. I always felt he stepped into a calm, settled yet stimulating environment each time he went to spend the day with her. We loved the fact that they went out for walks every day mostly in the woods and local parks, occasionally further afield (penpenbury, bewl water etc). He made loads of friends in her setting, including Magda’s children. She planned and led all sorts of activities to stimulate his early development and later on his literacy and numeracy skills. Most importantly, Magda has always had Dexter’s best interest in mind, helping us make the right decision whenever we asked for her advice, or inviting us to consider other options once Dexter had outgrown his peers.
Magda will do her best to keep you updated on what’s going on and every day we receive pictures or short videos to see what the child has been doing. It make a huge difference as young children will rarely explain what they did with the Childmninder.
Magda is an excellent childminder- entrusting your children to her is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
