Ilona is a great childminder and works to the highest standards you could ask for. I know my son is very safe with Ilona and takes him out to get his energy out at the park and enjoys it. She has a very caring side to her and is great with children. She will do activities like colouring and brings them home. She sends regular updates and pictures. Her food is also very healthy and my son enjoys her food it's always homemade healthy food. I cannot recommend Ilona enough!

My daughter had an amazing time at Ilonas, shes so kind, so warm to the kids, in general really. You get pictures during the day so you can see what they are up to. Nutritional meals, healthy meals really. Daily walks to the park which my daughter loved it. Honestly, just good things really.

We decided to use a childminder to look after our daughter for 2 days per week when I decided to go back to work Full Time. My daughter has felt comfortable really quickly. She absolutely adores Ilona and her own children. Ilona is a lovely, caring and fun person. She goes out and about with the children all the time which was one of the reasons why we chose her.
But most of all Ilona has become a very important person in my daughters life. She cares with great a passion and kindness. She is also very flexible when it comes to childrens special needs (i.e. my daughter is dairy intolerant and Ilona always catered for that - even a dairy free homemade Birthday Cake for her!!)
I can only recommend her to everyone and thank her for the great experience she offers my daughter.

I would recommend Ilona to anyone, and am extremely happy with the excellent care and service she provides. My little boy has been attending Ilona’s setting since he was 9 months old. The setting is calm, clean and offers a huge variety of children’s activities and toys. My son has developed a strong bond with Ilona and is very comfortable and happy being cared for by her. Ilona is always smiling, enthusiastic and engaged with him, and I find her to be extremely reassuring and trust worthy. It is nice to receive many pictures during the day, to see my little boy happily playing and smiling. Ilona also does regular outdoor activities such as woodland and park trips. Having used a nursery setting with my first child, I really do value the personal, attentive, and caring attitude of Ilona towards my little one.

I can no recommend Ilona highly enough. Illona has been looking after my daughter for over a year now every Friday. The childcare arrangements started as she was close to my work, however when I changed roles to a different City my daughter was so upset she was not going to Ilona's house any more we made arrangements to go out of our way to ensure that she stayed in the place she loves best. Illona does lots of activities with the children both educational and fun. Illona also sends lots of photos to us throughout the day so you know what activities they are up to and see how settled and happy she is.

Ilona was really excellent with my three year old Ella. She made her feel so at home and did so many activities with Ella. They went for lots of walks and she learnt a lot spending time with Ilona. She also sent lots of photos which really helps to reassure you! I would not hesitate to recommend Ilona to anyone.

My daughter was with Ilona throughout 2016/17 after having a poor experience in a local nursery. It became clear early on that Ilona cares deeply for the children in her charge and that child-minding is more than a job to her. It was great to have the piece of mind that my daughter would be with someone who really cared about her and that she would have a lot of fun whilst there. Ilona took on board my daughters personal preferences such as loving the outdoors going for lots of walks. The setting is great with lots of toys and a large outdoor play area used most days in the summer.
Ilona spent lots of time doing crafts with my daughter and she marked occasions teaching her about Christmas, Easter, birthdays etc
Ilona always cooked healthy meals and snacks.Ilona sent regular whatsapp pictures of my daughter, what she was doing eating, when sleeping etc.
Ilona was flexible changing days if needed if she had enough notice and even becoming part of my labour plan looking after my daughter whilst I had my second child, there was no one I trusted more.
I felt comfortable that I could give feedback and it would be welcomed and Ilona would let me know if I needed to do anything (such as bring bigger clothes thick coat etc).
My daughters language skills and confidence increased greatly whilst there, she learnt social skills like how to share and take turns. Most importantly my daughter was excited about going there and wanted to stay as long as she could.
I could not recommend her service highly enough,

Ilona has been caring for my son since August 2017 when he turned one. She clearly cares very deeply for the children she works with and my son settled in very well with her. He loves going to play at Ilona's house. Her setting is lovely, clean, tidy, quiet, outside space where the children can play and plenty of interesting toys. My son loves doing the activities that Ilona provides, she has drawn a creative streak out of him that I wasn't even aware of and now he loves to draw and play with stickers and play doh etc. Ilona always keeps us informed of how he has been during the day when we pick him up in the evening and sends messages and photos during the day if they are doing something interesting or if there is something we need to know.
I would definitely recommend Ilona to other Mums!

Our DS was only with Ilona a short time, but we were very happy with the experience. She was accommodating, welcoming and he had a great time. He often didn't want to leave at the end of the day, and even in that short time he came on leaps and bounds thanks to Ilona's help.
House is friendly, clean and full of great things for kids. He liked the food, and had a great time in their activities.
Could not recommend highly enough.
