Magda has looked after our daughter since she was a year old (she is now nearly two-and-a-half), and we could not have wished for kinder, more considerate and imaginative person to help raise our child. She quickly developed a strong bond with our daughter, the biggest sign of which is the fact that our daughter is always excited to go to see Magda, and sad to leave. Magda puts a huge amount of effort into thinking of imaginative ways to stimulate the child's development, using her years of experience and training to find what works best. She really wants your child to thrive, and puts her heart and soul into helping them to achieve that. Whether it is reading, singing songs, arts & crafts, food play, trips to the park, playgrounds and farms or taking them to the science museum, Magda always finds ways to entertain and educate your child. The results have been amazing, as we have watched our child's speech, motor skills, interpersonal skills and overall confidence develop far more quickly than we could have hoped for. We are really proud of our daughter and what she has already achieved at such a young age, and Magda has played an enormous role in that.

In addition to her skills as a teacher and carer, Magda has a heart of gold and we very quickly knew we can trust her, confide in her, seek her advice and count her as a friend. It seems strange that we have only known her for a year and a half, as she almost feels like family. Our daughter adores Magda and her sons, and it is easy to understand why. We really couldn't recommend her highly enough.
