Kristina is absolutely one amazing woman!! My son has been going to Kristina for nearly a year now, he started when he was 1years old he had just one day the 1st day where he cried when leaving him ever since that day my son happily runs up her path and eagerly knocks on her door. Kristina welcomes my son with a loving and caring attitude she is always smiling and my son absolutely adores her.
Kristina without fail every evening sends us a text of my sons day adventures, notifys you of his eating and when he has a little nap.
Kristina will go above and beyond for your child and is always well looked after and cared for. My son has settled in lovely and I wouldn't take him anywhere else.

My daughter has been attending Kristina’s for 7month’s. I can't emphasise enough what a fantastic person she really is. She has been a massive help to everything, from helping me with my daughter’s behaviour to potty training in no time! it has been the best decision I have ever made sending her here.
Kristina is wonderful with my daughter she looks after her and has a loving, welcoming environment.
They go on trips out and to soft play, She also has a fabulous garden and play room full of toys for them. My daughter really enjoys her time at kristina’s and is always pleased to see her.
If you are looking for a reliable, experienced, friendly and caring childminder, I honestly couldn’t recommend Kristina enough!

Kristina is an amazing and very friendly person. We have a 3yo boy who didn't speak any English a year ago when he started going to Kristina. We were a little worried how he would cope when looking for a childminder. Our boy settled in really well and liked his childcare very much. He really loves Kristina and sometimes when we go away for half term he even says he wants to go to Kristina and misses her. Kristina is a very lovely person and she always does everything to accomodate what we need and there have never been any issues. Everyday we receive a detailed message describing what they did that day and their programme is very varied, including visiting a farm, going to a play-gym, learning letters and numbers, learning about a specific topic every day and doing various experiments.

My little girl, who is now 20 months old has been going to Kristina's for a year now. She absolutely loves it there (judging by her reactions,I'm pretty sure she loves Kristina,too!). Emilia simply cannot wait to go in!
Not only is my little girl well looked after, but also receives age appropriate stimulation (a broad variety of activities) and education. At her age, she can already count up to 10, knows the alphabet and is able to name and recognise 15 letters without a fail!
The food provided is great as well. A very good variety of veggies and fruit, lean protein and healthy carbs. I wish I had Emilia's meals on my daily menu!
Kristina is very knowledgeable, well trained and educated,but most importantly, she's a warm and caring person, who is always happy to help and assist. We could have not found a better person to look after Emilia. Thank you for all your hard work, Kristina. It does not go unnoticed 💕

My son has been going to Kristina’s for around 8 months now. I was little bit nervous of leaving him with anyone as I was even more attached to him than he was to me. But when I found Kristina on here, she immediately arranged a meeting to meet me and my little one before he starts attending her setting. Kristina has welcomed me and my son with big friendly smile and amazing personality that I knew straight away that I got nothing to worry about!! 😊 ‘she is the one!’
After couple of weeks, my son has got used to Kristina that he even puts his arms out to her at the door while giving her the cheeky smile😊 he loves going there!
I could see a huge difference in his development with all the learning activities that she plans for children every single day it’s absolutely amazing. She even sends a little report at the end of the day to mention on what my son has been doing today, what he has ate etc. including birthday parties! So adorable 🥰 Me and Kristina have built very good relationship as she goes extra mile for me everytime without a doubt, especially since I am first time mum so I am still learning new things every single day😊
All I can say that Kristina is fantastic and she does brilliant job!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

My son started to attending Kristina’s setting 5 months ago and has formed a really lovely relationship with her. Before going to Kristina’s, he had very little confidence and was extremely attached to me, now i have a very confident and clever little boy. Kristina has showed my son how to be more independent, which had really helped him to develop. She goes above and beyond and is everything you could ask for in a childminder. She sends an update at the end of each day with all the activities the children have done through the day, what they have learnt and all the healthy and nutritious meals/snacks that they’ve had. I can tell that she adores all the children that she takes care of, she really has a heart of gold!

My daughter has been going to Kristina for around 6 months now. Before I found Kristina I was a little anxious about leaving my little girl as she was quite clingy and could be quite shy around new people. Kristina was always very reassuring and always let me know my daughter was settled once I had dropped her off. After a couple of weeks of taking her, my little girl couldn't be happier to go! Even putting her arms out to her at the door. This is so lovely and comforting to see. She absolutely loves going now! She's always so happy and full of smiles whenever we go. Love getting the reports at the end of the day to see what they have been up to. They get out and about and are always busy doing something. She's loves bringing me her drawings and things that they have made home. My daughter has come on so much since going to Kristina, learning lots of new things and her confidence with other children has really come on. Couldn't fault this lady! She does an amazing job! Would highly recommend 😊

My twin boys go here and Kristina is absolutely amazing with them. They are always so smiley when they come out! I always love the updates at the end of the day as to what the boys have been up to during the day. She takes them everywhere like the play gyms and also the farm. I couldn’t recommend Kristina enough. She is amazing with my boys.

Kristina is amazing. She has been very accommodating to our childcare needs. My daughter smiles every time I take her and I just know that she’s in a safe place with the best care and I don’t need to worry. Her daily reports give a great insight to what kind of day my daughter has had and every day is different and educational, plus she provides healthy meals. I don’t know how she does it all to be honest!

Kristina is amazing and my little girl always has a big smile on her face when I drop her off. She provides home-made healthy meals and takes good care of her throughout. The level of learning is brilliant and she teaches the children different things each day. Kristina takes the children to play gyms and to the park often so they are enjoying the lovely outside daily. Overall would highly recommend and one very satisfied mamma and baby :D

I honestly cannot fault this woman! She’s absolutely amazing! So invested in the children, provides the best care possible. My son Sudais totally adores her, I even got jealous when he first started going because it was like he preferred her over me and didn’t even want to come home lol
Honestly, she’s incredible. From the daily reports, to the home cooked freshly prepared meals, to the daily themed schedule, not to mention all the days out and activities the children do! She’s just fantastic.
Such a warm, inviting smile when you get to the door, makes me wish I was a kid again and she was my childminder lol I feel so lucky to have found her, I couldn’t have found anyone more suited for Sudais’s growing needs and development. She truly is a supernanny and both me and my child absolutely love her. Thank you so much Kristina for everything you do for my son! I really do think you should do a YouTube channel on parenting tips, ideas for healthy meals and to share your knowledge on child development because the world needs your expertise. You’re amazing xx

Iv sent my daughter to Kristina during the 6 weeks holiday. She replied to all my messages quickly and is very friendly. Her setting is comfortable for my daughter and she’s loved being with Kristina. Kristina has also helped my daughter try new foods as she’s a little fussy when eating. My daughter had learnt so many new things while being with her.would definitely recommend her and will be sending my daughter there again!
Thankyou xx

Kristina is amazing my son esa has been going to her for around 3 month , he first started attending when my mother became ill and I had no one to help and she was honestly amazing so professional and could be very flexible and meet all my childcare needs, since my mother passing I have decided to keep letting him go and it has been the best decision iv ever made you can tell she genuinely enjoys looking after the children and doesn't just do it because its her job . I like the fact she also has all planned out days and activities and food freshly made for everyone along with fresh fruit and snacks just like a nursery but in a home setting my son has become more confident more well behaved and is becoming so clever due to kristina. She even does overnight care my son has never stayed out before and recently he stayed over at kristinas where she sent me messages letting me know when he went to bed and how he was and in the morning letting me know how he slept. I feel 100% at ease when my child is in her care well done kristina !!!

Delilah now walks in happily. She is changing so much and learning lots whilst with kristina. I would highly recommend kristina, she cares about you and your childs needs! X

My little boy has been going to Kristina since he was 12+ months. I was bit apprehensive initially since he was too young but Kristina always clarified my doubts and assured me he will be taken care exactly as I do it at home. It is almost 10 months and he absolutely loves being there now. Kristina always shares daily updates on what he did and ate at her place. She makes good food and snacks which my son always enjoys. His verbal and communication skills is also improving along with his confidence. I would 100 percent recommend Kristina as she is very flexible and helpful. Thank you so much.

My daughter really enjoys coming to Kristina. My daughter will run to her front door when dropping her off because of her excitement, as a parent this is very comforting knowing she’s in an environment she really loves. My daughters confidence has rocketed since attending, the balance between play and learning is perfect. Kristina is always very informative on the activities from the day and gives a great homemade food which is really important to me. Kristina really is super and I don’t know how we’ll ever leave. Thank you Kristina for all you do.

My son has been going to Kristinas child care for nearly 2 years now. He learns a lot and always comes home in a great mood telling me what he's been doing that day. I really struggled finding a childminder that would work with my flexible working pattern but this was no problem for Kristina and I'm grateful she can cater to our needs. Highly recommended!

My little boy had been going to kristina a for a year or so. He absolutely loved being there and always asked about kristina and wanted to go see her, we never had any issues with him going as he loved to be there. Updates on my sons day were always detailed and on time, kristina made good healthy food and snacks which my son always enjoyed. His verbal and communication skills had come on so well since being with kristina along with his confidence.
I would 100 percent recommend kristina to anyone, she was always so helpful and very flexible which was perfect for us as I wasn’t always sure when I was going to be at work but kristina worked around us and was a massive help and support throughout my sons time with her. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for Roman x

My daughter came to Kristina at the begining of lock down as i am a key worker and my daughter was welcomed with open arms at a short notice. She settled in fast and was soon coming home talking about her new friends. Since she has been going to kristinas she has learned how to talk more and use more words, also learned her alphabet from Kristinas setting. Im glad i found Kristina coz i dont think id be happy with her being else where. Kristina does alot with the children; learning, playing, and writting and drawing. Also has delicious healthy meals and the kids are always fully fed such as little snacks and main meals. Encourages them to ear fruits and veg. Kristina is just absolutely brilliant at her job and as a normal person. Will be with her for a long time x

Kristina started looking after Abou at the age of 8 months and he's now 14mths. Abou starts smiling and he's face brightens up when you call kristina's name. Kristina is very experienced, caring, professional and flexible. I have learned few tips from her about how cope with a clinging child. Abou is now more confident and independent because of Kristina. I am confident in leaving Abou under Kristina's care as she loves him like her own.

Kristina and her mum both look after my daughter Teresa. They are very flexible with the needs I require for the hours I work which is fantastic. Teresa loves being in Kristina's care. Teresa has made some fantastic friends, and her development has improved greatly since going to Kristina. She knows all of her colours ,can count, and helping with her development ready for school. I would definitely recommend Kristina for anyone looking for a childminder.

I found Kristina on here, after visiting a few different childminders in the area we decided to go with Kristina because our little girl instantly took a liking to Kristina.. My daughter is 2.5 years old and has never been away from me or my husband as we have always managed the childcare between us. We now have another baby on the way and our little girl will be due to start nursery next year so we thought it was time for her to start having some playtime with other children. Our little girl settled in to Kristinas house very quickly and has grown to trust Kristina very quickly. Kristina shows our little girl care and love when we are not there and comforts her if she is having a little wobble about being away from us. She always bounces out at the end of the day with endless tales of what her and the other children have been up to during the day. Kristina also provides us with a summary at the end of each day to let us know how she has got on. I am very happy that we found Kristina and I hope for our little girl to keep being with Kristina until she joins full time school/ nursery. Hopefully even start our next child with her when the time comes. Thank you Kristina you have really helped our little girl (and mummy) cope with this new part of life.
