We are so truely bless to have Aga looking after our little boy. It tells us a lot if our child wakes up in the morning and looks forward going to the childminders. Childming service is outstanding. Every day I go to work and I know my child is safe, has every opportunity to engage with his age friends and take every advantage to develop. Aga's postive approach helps our little feel more confident . We appreciate well structured routine and discipline our little one is learning at childminders. We do not see anyone else looking after our boy. Aga is best child minder ever!!

Thank you Neringa for the review! Your son is such an amazing little person.I am happy to be there for him and see him being so happy here ! Aga
Aga is not only an amazing person but also brilliant educator. My little one felt at her home based nursery like at her own home. Knowing that my daughter feel happy there I had no worries at all. She was always telling me about the interesting things she did with Aga and her litte friends! I feel very lucky that I could send my daughter to Aga's nursery! To all parents who looking for a great childminder I can promise you she is perfect! Thank you Aga!!

Aga has honestly been the best childminder I have had for my son. Her caring, friendly and pleasant manner made my son feel instantly welcome and secure. Her delightful house, with one room dedicated to children's play and activities, was the perfect environment for my son to be entertained and stimulated. He always enjoyed going there and requested to go to Aga's even when I didn't need a childminder! There was the opportunity to play outside in her child-friendly garden and this was an added attraction for my son. The house is clean, bright and inviting. My son always ate well there, too, and was given a range of healthy and filling meals.
Aga's professional and friendly service was much appreciated. She was very understanding, too, if I needed to change the arrangement and this level of customer care is rare these days. A big thank you Aga from my son and myself!

Aga helped us for 2 weeks while our usual childminder was on holiday.
The children really took to Aga, due to her friendly and warm manner. She did daily activities with them, ranging from art & craft to water works and playing with sand.
I had been nervous about the temporary childcare, but Aga's excellent way of dealing with them both, put me quickly at ease. The children felt very happy with her and I can highly recommend her and will definitely be asking her again if I need additional childcare.

Aga is positive and professional in her approach on all levels and is flexible and accommodating to the parents' and child's individual needs.
On a personal level Aga is a very kind person of high moral standing. She is calm, intelligent and non-judgmental.
Her services are outstanding and we would highly recommend her.

Aga is a caring and experienced childminder. She puts a lot of effort into making sure all children are being looked after and feel comfortable. Our twin girls started at the age of 10months as I had to unexpectedly return to work early and their time without me has been filled with joy and a lot of attention. They have developed various skills whilst at Something Special and they surprise us every day with new achievements. Aga prepares fabolous activites which kill boredom that we-parents serve our children so often. Meals are homecooked, healthy and varied throughout the week. There are plenty of great toys for kiddies to explore and an amazing outdoor space. Aga incorporates some of montessori philosophies and also teaches toddlers good maners. If you are also scared about leaving your child with a stranger then I do highly recommend Something Special - you will not be disappointed!

Something Special Home Based Childcare
It is not easy to find the words to describe Aga's little nursery. It is not a place where I leave my son worrying like most parents ,it is a second home .Aga is an auntie with lots of kids ...
It is a home filled with children who are happy to go there everyday and have lots of fun.
I am a demanding person myself and was looking for a long time until I found Aga's place and it was not easy to find something as good .
Now I feel happy leaving my son with Aga knowing that he is happy too.Alan feels like in his own home and has also opportunities to play with other children.
Aga apart from having lots of childcare qualifications and experience is first and foremost a warm and friendly person not only towards the children but parents too.
In one short sentence Something Special Childcare is an amazing little family like childcare setting...a home.

Aga has been been looking after my child for over two years now.My daughter was only 6 months when she started attending Aga's little setting.During that time I noticed many positive changes in my little girl's behaviour and development.
Aga is very committed in her work with children but most of all very warm and of cheerful disposition.She would treat all the children as they are their own and the children feel that!
Aga is great if it comes to manage child's behaviour she has an appropriate knowledge and skills to do it easily and would give parents useful advice on any child related issue you might have when asked.
There is lots of hugs and cuddles in Aga's setting as well as prize for the smallest achievement!
There is no boredom with Aga as there are lots activities in her place indoors and outdoors as well as occasional trips to parks,libraries or play groups.Every day is an attractive and full of fun .
Aga prepares healthy meals and snacks and the children are never hungry .
I recommend Aga to any parents that are looking for a great childcare provider, with all my heart as she is fair,honest and with an excellent knowledge and experience about child development and your child will be safe and happy with her.

Aga has been childminding my son Filip (19 months) since August 2014. She looks after him for 39 hours each week.
I have been extremely happy with the care Filip has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in 'Something Special' care. Aga's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Filip has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though,
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know Filip has recently enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and painting, reading and puzzles.
Filip is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When Filip steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather, I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.
Although She provide Filip’s meals each day, I know that she will provide healthy snacks such as vegetable's and fruits. I am also aware that Aga ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. I’m sure that it is this practice together with the cleanliness of Aga’s home which has ensured that Filip has remained healthy.
Aga completes a diary detailing what Filip has done each day. From this I have a complete picture of his whole day including what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities. This helps me to feel involved with his care and that I can talk to him about his day. Aga send me a picture with my son activities in 'something special'
In all, I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Filip receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Aga ('Something Special') as a great and reliable child minder. The most important thing is that she treat every child with love.

There's something very special about the childcare that Aga provides. One of the best things about Aga is that she quickly understands the unique personality and needs of each child, and she works with this personality, rather than putting pressure on the child to be one way or another. This allows the child to thrive. Our child was at Aga's from age two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half. Aga's childcare was a great stepping-stone between being looked after at home, and by family and friends, to starting at pre-school. Aga provides a nurturing, safe and lively environment, where she looks after children of various ages, and our little girl thrived in the friendly family atmosphere of Aga's home. She learned to make friends, and got to enjoy dressing up, singing songs, playing outside, and many other activities. Aga has set up a wonderful little playroom for the children, and the children can go in and out to the garden, as they like, and Aga does not shut them out of any other space in the house. The children have a great balance between structure and being child-led. It reflects Aga's educational achievements and her determination to continue her professional development in various ways.
Aga is amazingly flexible. When she can, she will try to accommodate even last minute changes in plan. This worked really well for me, because I worked part-time, and the hours changed from month to month, occasionally week to week. Aga helped out with this unpredictability as much as she possibly could. Aga is very easy to talk to. If you have any concerns or questions, Aga always listens and makes sure she understands what it is you are looking for. Because Aga provides such reliable child care, local families who do not want to send their little ones to full-time full-on nursery find Aga's childcare a fantastic alternative. Her home is like a small-scale nursery, with the advantage of a small teacher-to-child ratio. Aga also keeps regular notes on the child's progress, and sends photographs and drawings home.
I would say that Aga's home-based childminding is a great alternative for parents who work odd hours, and don't want full-time childcare in a packed, large nursery, but want safe, reliable childcare, in an environment where their child will still get to play with other children and do all the usual activities that go on in a nursery. Aga is keen on building a successful and thriving childcare option. In our situation, she even registered to provide three-year-old funding for our girl. This helped us stay with Aga for longer. I would say the key to working with Aga to give your child the best childcare is to be open with her, and speak to her about what you are looking for. Aga tries to work with that, and the children make great friends, that they later miss when they move on from Aga's! We have certainly made friends with other parents, who share our way of raising children. One of the best things about Aga's home is that you feel safe and comfortable leaving your precious little ones there. Thanks, Aga. We'll miss you!
