Daniela was prompt in responding to my add for emergency care for my twins due to my back injury.
She was easy to speak to initially over the phone, and very interested in knowing more about the kids.
She arrived the following day on time and from the very first few minutes the girls fell in love with her! They even were asking for her if she left the room-I couldn’t believe how much they adored her!
Daniela not only looked after the girls but also helped me run the house and even made us a cake! She’s fast paced and very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and preempted everything the girls would need.
This woman is honestly a Mary Poppins in disguise! We’ll NEVER use any other Nanny for our children again!

Aww thank you so much, it was my pleasure! The children are a credit to you! Looking forward to coming again!
As first time parents and first time ver using a childminder, we were very apprehensive but that instantly went away when we met Daniela, first impression was really good and from then on, never had any issues, doubts, any form of negativity. Our son is very particular and he really likes Daniela and always looked forward to going over before school every morning. He always had good things to say about his time there, never anything negative and he usually does not tell us much about his day so this was an eye opener. Neat and tidy, lots to do, lots to play with, plenty of food, our little man is always well fed ready to tackle the school day. Great communication after drop off, understanding, considerate, our needs were listened and adhered to. Just all round Great.
Thank you Daniela for your great support for our family, it is very unfortunate due to our family circumstances and changes, we could not carry on but we hope in the future we might meet again.
To other parents, I know it's easier said than done but I would highly recommend Daniela for your kid(s). The bond and connection they will have with her will be so great, what we sought in her, we found.
Many thanks Everyone

As the title say Daniela is the best! She is a great person and a fantastic childminder, I've been sending my daughter Sophie since last September and I couldn't have done a better choice, she is started to talk properly and have fluent conversation, she learnt alphabet and numbers and she is now learning how to write, every single day she is excited to go to Daniela! Also very flexible, if you need a favor she will always be up to help! Can't raccomend her enough!!!

My daughter loved Daniela from day 1! She is brilliant with kids and knows how to approach each child, no matter what their needs are.
My daughter never has a dull day at Danielas's house. She encourages them to try new things and offers various activities from drawing to gardening and more.

My daughter has been going for nearly 3 months and she has come a very long way. At the start she wouldn't leave my side and now she pushes me out the door. Daniela has taught her so much and now she is counting to 5/10 at the age of 20 months. My daughter loves going every day, every week. I'm always bringing home a happy little girl which makes it worth 6am get ups. Don't think I'd ever change were she is. She has such a good bond with Daniela she knows were we are going before we even get there. Also you can see that Daniela is very passionate about the job she does and loves having the children! House is really well presented and clean. Lots of toys amd activities for them to do. Daniela is brilliant at communicating with you, texts me everyday to tell me how my daughter is and also tells me what she's done throughout the day and had to eat. Fantastic childminder!!xx

Daniela is an extremely great childminder with a lot to offer. Great, outgoing character who is always there to help. Even though my daughter has only been going for a short while she has come on extremely quick. Learnt so much already. Daniela is one of the nicest women and childminder I have ever met. Definitely recommend. So so happy daughter has built a bond with Daniela and loves to go every week. My daughter love Danielas homemade food every week. And never eaten so much, her appetite has improved, thats with the lovely food cooked fresh daily. I know for sure Daniela will make sure my daughter is ready for primary school in a couple of years, due to the progress she has made my daughter achieve already. Thank you Daniela your FABULOUS!!! X

As first time parents we were worried and felt like we did not know what we needed or were looking for...
Then we met Daniela! She has been absolutely fantastic with our little girl. The leaps and bounds our little one has developed in only a short time with her is amazing! Every day I come home and she has something new to show us when we get home.
Her home is full of fun and happiness and fantastic facilities and now I could not imagine leaving our little one with anyone else. Her homemade cooking keeps our little one very happy too!
Going back to work was very hard for me but knowing that she is being taken care of by Daniela puts my mind at ease. She really does go over and above what you would expect a childcare provider to do, and me and my husband are both very happy that we have Daniela in our little girls life.

Daniela is looking after my twin boys aged 10. Before they were at a child minder who they felt uneasy with. So I got in contact with Daniela and now my boys are a very happy children. They like to be with her. She makes them feel happy, comfortable and open. They always have something interesting to do which is not that easy to achieve at their age. Everything is explained to them. She is willing to listen to what I have to say and that makes it very easy to leave my boys with her. I receive messages and pictures during the day to what the boys are doing.
I would recommend Daniela to anybody who is looking for someone to leave their precious ones with. She is reliable and very responsible. She doesn't let you down.
Excellent service.

Daniella is a wonderful childminder, I feel so lucky and blessed to have found her. My Princess was only 13 weeks old when I first left her with Daniella. As you can imagine I was extremely upset and reluctant when first leaving my daughter but Daniella made it so much easier for me by regular communication via text. We started with a few trial sessions which helped. Each time we collected my daughter she was so happy and content, she clearly enjoyed every moment at Daniella's. Each visit Daniella had recorded her full day of activities which was lovely for me to read. I had mentioned to Daniella that my mum had sent me photos of my daughter whilst she was looking after her, and to my surprise Daniella upgraded her phone and now sends me photos. I had not mentioned this for Daniella to do this but I thought it was the sweetest thing that she did. Each photo Daniella sends my daughter is so full of joy; peaceful; laughing having fun which makes me happy which is all you could ever ask for. Daniella really goes out of her way in all Criteria's. Thank you so much Daniella.

I contacted Daniela after reading some really good reviews about her. I had to go to London and needed someone to look after my 1 year old. She took the time to get to know Hector first on a taster session and he bonded with her straight away as she is very enthusiastic warm and funny. She provided me with a copy of her OFSTED report and showed me all certificates and qualifications including first aid and food hygeine. She has a room decorated just for children with lots of books colouring and toys. She made a home cooked meal and a pudding with fruit and took him for a walk in the pram. I have no hesitation in recemmending Daniela Hector had a brilliant day and is looking forward to going again soon.

Daniela is a fantastic childminder... I couldn't of wished for a nicer more accomadating person to look after my 8year old little boy. On very short notice she fit him in to her schedule no problem. I let her know it was his birthday the first day he was with her and she made him a lovely birthday cake i thought that was really nice as i hadn't wanted to leave him on his birthday but he really enjoyed his day and couldn't wait to go back. It's very hard to leave my son with people as he doesn't really want to stay with anyone normally, but he loved going to Danielas. In the future when ever i need to leave my son with anyone my first choice will be Daniela, my son enjoys spending time with her and he's always happy and well fed. She always goes out of her way to makes sure he does things he likes and eats food he loves. I'm so glad i found her.

I arranged for a nanny in London to look after my 5 years old son while i had a day long gig and workshop in preston. the nanny which I arranged for cancelled before an hour of my train to preston as she broke her leg. I called Daniella literary before 4 hours of the engagement and she graciously accommodated all my requests.She was spot on time and my son had fun with her all day. She is professional trustworthy and warm hearted and she literary saved the day, I have no doubt she will be amazing with you and your children if you hire her. She has my highest recommendations.

Daniela has looked after my 8yr old boy at short notice and fit him into her home making time for him with lots of age appropriate activities. He went for walks visited the local park and she got him involved in cooking, painting and making decorations/toys. Daniela was well welcoming and friendly.He was well fed and loved his stay and looks forward to his next visit.

Daniela is a brilliant childminder. We needed a childminder at short notice and she was happy to help out. It was the first time I'd left my baby (10 months old) with someone other than family so i was very reluctant to leave him. Daniela was so good at reassuring me all would be find and we left the baby for a 30 min trial run a few days before and it went really well. Her home is all geared up specifically for childminding with a specially installed toilet for potty training downstairs. She was very attentive to his needs and told me how much he ate, how long he slept, and how well he behaved. She also text me half way through the day to reassure me all was ok. if your not sure, I would recommend just going and meeting Daniela, she is a credit to her business and her own children prove how good a role model she is!

My partner and I had a funeral to attend and our babysitter let us down at very short notice, we were over 100 miles from home and anybody that was a friend was attending, we were left stranded with no hope.
We decided to ring a chilminder on the off chance that we would find someone available with less than 48 hours notice.
We did a lot of research and found Daniela. We decided to ring her and hope. We explained the situation to her and she couldn't have been more understanding and helpful. We visited her the day before and she made us feel very welcome and was brilliant with the children. She agreed to look after them for a short while on that day so the children would be familiar with her for the next day when they would be with her for 4 hours. When we got back, the children didn't want to leave! They had enjoyed themselves too much. On the day itself, the children were a little upset when we left but we felt very comfortable that they would be very well looked after.
When we collected they had again had a brilliant time and din't want to leave. Daniela's house is very child safe, she has a brilliant play room for the children that I was very impressed with. She provided lunch which the children must have enjoyed as they are usually fussy eaters!
Overall we felt Daniela had gone out of her way to help us and we instantly felt our children would be safe with her.
We would not hesitate to contact Daniela again should we need childcare and we would recommend her to anybody who asked.

I absolutely trust Daniela and I think she is the best. I have been leaving my seven months old baby with her every week in the evening. First, she offers evening/late night care which is difficult (if not rare) to find. And not only that, she is absolutely amazing, my baby adores her. Daniela would listen and follow exactly what the routine of the child is, so it is pure peace of mind for any parent. I am a single mom with no famiy around, and although initially I was looking at childiminding so that I could get some time to do other things, the one who is really benefiting from this is the baby. What I think makes the whole difference for us, is that the baby has the opportunity to spend time with such a positive, loving, caring person, and I know, from his smile, that he enjoys every second of it, and that will be absolutely fantastic for his development. I am really glad I found her!!!

My son started staying with Daniela for over night care once a week and he love's it. He has autism and found Daniel to be very caring and patient. She is very welcoming, friendly and really focuses on my child needs.
I am now moving away and can only wish I find someone as good ,who is so ready to accommodate any needs to ensure my child settled right in, she will be missed. I feel she really went the extra mile and kept me updated on how he had been during his stay.
As a mum who has a child with extra needs i found Daniela to be extremely capable and this made me & my son feel at ease.

My two young children have been looked after by Daniela for a few months now. She is very friendly, warm and inviting to all of the family, even her children are friendly, polite and welcoming into their home - such a credit to her own parenting. I was very wary of leaving my children for the first time but Daniela made it so easy with regular contact, updates, written diaries and i learned to trust her very quickly. Daniela is very accomodating and my children love 'daniela day's' and always look forward to their next visit. I strongly recommend Daniela (and her home cooked food). Thanks Daniela, u r the best xxx

Daniella has been looking after my 3 yr old son since July and she is great with him, he loves her. My son is always warmly welcomed and taken care of well. At her house there is a purpose built room just for the children, filled with many creative activities and toys.
With Italian cooking experience (obviously) she makes lovely home cooked meals for the children, my son once came back with a cake! She has 2 lovely, polite children of her own who love getting involved with all the children; and a cute little dog Chico who my son adores. With a big garden there is plenty of space for the children to play outside or with Chico.
Daniella also takes my son out to feed the ducks whilst he is in her care and for various other activities...
I have to say that my son instantantly connected with her and her family and she was a great find!

We travel around the country for work and have to find a new childminder every week virtually, Daniela was one of my best 'finds' to date.
Our daughter would be taking her own coat off, as we walked in the door saying bye mummy, a sure sign she was happy and contented. She'd be talking about Daniela and her lovely family and Chico the dog all day beforehand too.
Daniela has a lovely way with the children in her care, very welcoming, she made us feel at home straight away. She was very creative with the children very hands on and interactive and has a fab playroom and garden to explore.
She created a beautiful memory book for our little girl. I only wish we lived nearer or that we could take Daniela on the road with us to have her as our full time carer everyday!!
