Iren's Reviews

Wonderful childminder.

Irina is a Wonderful childminder! I am very happy that my daughter had Irina as her first childminder/teacher. She is very kind, loving, thoughtful person. My daughter Emilia was feeling very happy and secure with Irina. Everyday they were having various activities (painting, cooking, walking, reading, singing, lots of crafts etc), my daughter was learning something new every day . Irina's fresh homemade food made for the children was amazing. Couldn't be more happier to leave my child in care of such an amazing childminder like Irina. Thank you Irina!

Thank you very much Angela! ❤️

Wonderful experience with Iren

My son had Iren as his childminder for 1,5 years, which was a wonderful experience. Iren is a very kind, caring, supportive person, a brilliant mother to her daughters, creative, and responsive to all my requests. Here are some sides that I specifically want to highlight.

1. Location. Easy to park a car, the bus stop is also nearby, and the train station is in 10-minute walk. There is a big lawn in front of the house with no cars around - a very safe and green space, where children can run, play with a ball or paint with chalk. There are nice parks with ponds and playgrounds within walking distance.

2. Active days out. Iren is an active person herself, and so are the days at her childcare. Children walk in the parks, feed donkeys, play at the playground or with a ball, jump in puddles, gather sticks, leaves, etc to make art at home afterward. If the weather is nice, they might have picnics in the parks.

3. Active days in. As an art teacher, Iren has endless ideas on how to keep children busy at home. They not only read books, learn numbers, dance, and play with toys but also do a lot of arts and crafts. Every day children develop their creativity in different techniques, which is essential for children’s fine motor skills. When the weather is warm all of this happens in a spacious terrace in the garden side.

4. Food. It was extremely important to me that the food at the childcare was healthy, nutritious, and home-made, with a variety of vegetables and fruits, and with limited sugar and no store-bought sweets. Iren stands out from others due to her approach to child nutrition. I was 100% satisfied with the food choices my son had every day. I also liked that Iren let the children help her make cookies.

5. Communication. Daily Iren sends photos of the day to parents, so they know how their child spent his day. Iren was also very responsive to any request, may it be medicine or vitamin supplementation, or when I asked to put my son to sleep earlier (if needed to pick him up earlier).

6. Relationship. My son loved being at Iren’s, it was hard to take him home because he wanted to stay. I think it is the highest mark of appreciation for a childminder.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Iren to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. Our family will forever be grateful for the positive experience and impact Iren has had on our son's early years.
