Alicja is absolutely amazing - so loving, gentle, competent and knowlegable as a childminder, and a lovely, warm person. She has an intuitive way of interacting with children to bring out their best and make them feel welcomed and loved. She is very forward thinking with craft activities, educational activities and regular trips out to parks and libraries, so both my children have benefited hugely and flourished in her care. I feel completely confident in her capabilities and couldn't imagine a better environment for my little ones.
My boy (aged nearly 2) has being going to her for nearly a year - he's had various problems with failure to thrive and allergies, and she has been consistently patient and careful with him, so much so that she is now the best person at getting him to eat (he's still pretty tricky at home!). He loves her food and she always caters for his needs in an exceptionally caring and effective way.
My 4 year old has been going also after school - she loves it too, and has had a fabulous time making cupcakes, glitter pictures, practising reading and writing, and playing with Alicja's own charming children.
Alicja is amazing at giving all the children age appropriate activities and ensuring all children are included at all times. She has 3 wonderful (older) children of her own, all of whom are absolutely charming with the little kids, and hugely enrich their time at her house - all are like little "mini mentors", helping with play and interacting such a sweet, gentle way with the children. Her home is welcoming, warm and safe - just the environment you want to leave your kids in knowing they are happy and having a great time while you go to work! I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
