We’ve been with Ylva for 10 months since our son was 1 years old. As first time parents, she was a guardian for us navigating this new chapter. She has a wealth of knowledge and went above and beyond to provide us with advice.

Ylva is a warm, caring and patient person who loves children. She has a wealth of experience and is always up-to-date on the latest childcare practices. She creates a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I also like that she is firm as it encourages my son (and me) to exhibit good behaviour.

Ylva’s home is although a couple flights up, provides perfect exercise for my toddler to practice walking up and down stairs. There is plenty of space to play, both inside and out. Ylva takes the kids to the park outside her place where the children can run around, play games and explore nature. She also takes the children on regular outings to the church stay and play, the London Zoo and school pick-ups.

Ylva provides a stimulating and educational curriculum based on the EYFS. She tailors the learning to my son’s needs and has an extensive collection of toys and educational material.

Ylva is also very communicative. She sends us regular updates on our son's day, including photos and videos via WhatsApp. She is always happy and quick to respond to our questions and concerns.

Ylva is also very careful and well trained in handling allergies, which was a non-negotiable for us as our son has a peanut and egg allergy. She was very considerate in certain situations to ask if it was okay to have cake in the same room.

Overall, Ylva is an excellent childminder and deserves the Outstanding rating from Ofsted. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.
