My youngest son started at Judit's when he was 2 years old after his previous childminder closed her business. Fortunately, Judit had a space at her setting (she had been recommended to me by another mum at my older son's school). My son settled quickly into her setting.
Judit provides a wide range of activities throughout the day, some structured and some free play. She utilises her large outdoor terrace as an extended play area to the inside space. Here they get to play on the slide, in the pretend kitchen, water play and learn to grow and care for plants. She regularly takes them to the nearby play park and to Wimbledon common. Judit provides good feedback via what's app and in person on what they have done during the day, often with photos. She provides a wonderful range of home cooked food (I would often think I'd like to try some of the dishes as they sound delicious!) and has also accommodated my son's picky eating by making sure that there is something that he will eat. Judit is excellent at fostering relationships between the children at her setting, especially relationships between different aged children. Her own children (primary school age) are sometimes there after school. They are kind and generous to the children at the setting, often playing games with them. My son has a very good relationship with them and now loves seeing them at school.
Not long after my son started, one of her older neighbours across the street, stopped my husband and said "you've struck gold sending your child to her. I often see her with the children going on a trip and there is a lot of laughter and happiness, she is very kind and patient with them". I think that sums up our experience with Judit, we definitely have felt that we struck gold in finding her.
