My 2 year old daughter was with Danica from April - Dec 2017 and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional Childminder. Under Danica’s supervision my daughter’s speech, imagination and creativity has developed.
She kept us updated with photos and a learning journal. I have already recommended her to other friends as a result.

Thank you for such a nice comment .......
Danika is looking after my son for the last few months.She takes time with each of the little ones to encourage and support their development and interests. With her experience, I have always had great confidence in their safety when they are out and about with her - and that is one of the great things is that they are always busy going to the park or to activities. She encourages an energetic, playful atmosphere where all the children of different ages engage with each other. I have no hesitation in recommending Danika to anyone

Danica looked after my one and half year old daughter for over sixteen months. We were very anxious initially which is quite common with new parents but Danica was very professional and her friendly approach made it easier for my daughter to settle in fast.
Danica did lot of outdoor activities which helped the development of my daughter. My daughter always loved to spend her time at Danica's place.
She communicated effectively with us at every stage.
I would highly recommend Danica's services and her can do attitude.

As a first time Mum, like many it was important to find the right child minder. My son was under 2 when he started with Danica.
Danica took time to understand my son as an individual and got to know his likes and dislike. She provided a wide range of activities encouraging physical,creative, social, emotional development.
Danica took my son to the park and to playgroup along with mixing with her own children and those she looked after-which I’m in no doubt encouraged my son’s communication and social skills.
Danica also provided quiet time when needed, My son always came home wanting to show me and later talk about what he had been doing that day, Danica kept an up to date diary of which activities my son had taken part in, along with other informative information.
Danica offered structure and routine with healthy living skills, yet was always flexible in her approach offering alternatives and as well as the same consistencies as our son had at home, especially when my son was going through change/milestones.
In all Danica provided both a safe, stimulating, fun and nurturing environment which I’m in no doubt has contributed to my son’s independence and his continued motivation to want to learn about numbers and the world around him. Danica was accommodating and approachable and at all times happy to listen and give feedback when wanted, Her and knowledge and experience has been greatly valued and I would not think twice about recommending her service to other parents.
