Both my son and my granddaughter love going to Greenhaven kids, they have really grown in confidence too. The communication is second to none and I know that if they are having fun I will receive some photos later of everything they have enjoyed that day, Marzena really makes it a beautiful calm nurturing place for everyone no matter their abilities, really everything from dropping them off to collecting is done with a joyful smile and calming influence. My son loves the variety of activities and the range of books that all children are encouraged to take advantage of. I would 100 percent recommend this setting because I have seen firsthand how much itβs done for my family and how happy they are there. Marzena the childminder is so knowledgeable and able to find what each individual child needs. Please if you are looking for a safe, welcoming and supportive space for your precious little ones then Greenhaven kids is the perfect place.

Thank you Wendy for your kind words. It's my pleasure to look after your son and your granddaughter.
It's fun to having them around.
My daughter has been coming to Greenhaven kids for a while now and she loves it very much.
Sheβs so happy, looked after, cared for and also always has lots of fun.
A very welcoming setting with a very experienced childminder, who is also a wonderful and lovely person. My daughter is always excited to go.
Highly recommended!!

Thank you Sarah for you kind words about me and my setting, I really like when your daughter is around.
I do not have words to express myself in how blessed my family have been working with Greenhaven kids! I have a 2 years old and a 3 years old currently with them.
Staff are well informed about early years curriculum and child focused. I have seen tremendous improvement in my kids development and social interactions.
I am kept updated about the activities, progress and I genuinely feel the love, care and compassionate nature shown to my children.
I was very anxious as any parent will be initially but a visit to Marzena and the nature of dialogue was very informative and it gave me assurance and peace of mind I longed for; her professionalism is top notch!
Marzena has a bucket full experience and I can't express how thankful I am for the dedication I observe her apply to nurturing the my kids and the other kids she cares for.
I will 100% recommend her services to everyone, book an appointment to see the provision and have a chat with Marzena and thank me later!
Thank you Marzena for all you do! It does not go unnoticed, my kids love your home and I feel the warmth anytime I come around.
Keep doing the good work π π π π

Thank you very much Ena for the wonderful words about my work and about me.
It's been my pleasure taking care of your amazing children.
Marzena is the best childminder I could wish for my son. Adapting process went very smoothly. My son got used to her very quickly. He enjoys the time spending with other kids, is excited to go there in the morning and always leaves the place happy when I pick him up. Marzena offers a variety of educational games and activities. My son has already made a very big progress in his development. Every day I receive lots of pictures from her about what my son was doing during the day. Her house is very clean and safe. She also has a beautiful garden that children can play in and enjoy time.
Marzena is a very friendly, caring and professional childminder who treats kids if they were her own. She provides healthy meals for kids. I love the fact that she encourages children to join her in cooking, gardening and other activities. Marzena is very flexible and accommodating. She celebrates with kids important days like their birthdays, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and other.
I cannot recommend her enough :) She is fantastic and you can see it every day that being a childminder is not just a job for her, she does what she loves :) Marzena thank you so much for all your support and providing best care for my son :)

Thank you very much for the great review.
I also love when your son comes to us.
I am very happy that every child learns quickly and easily in my setting with us.
I love my job :)
Marzena is amazing at what she does. She accommodates for all your needs no matter what. She is very flexible and my child absolutely loves going to her house. She makes the days/evening interesting with lots of different activities, she made my child feel comfortable and provides food too. Her house is very clean and tidy, garden is lovely. I can't thank you enough Marzena, you're an absolute star!!
