About Me
I’m a passionate and reliable childminder and mum of three, with nearly 10 years of experience, including a TA role at a local preschool. I'm based in Mitcham/Streatham Common area and offer a diverse, safe, and welcoming space to all children. We are a bilingual setting, where children learn through play, exploring, and interaction, building their confidence and independence outside their homes. I promote a healthy lifestyle, fill the days with fun, active and educational activities, and encourage children to step outside of their comfort zone while respecting their individual needs.

Our son started with Izabella when he was 1 year old.
We couldn't be happier with her as our childminder. It's clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves children. She's incredibly warm, patient, and always has a smile on her face.
She loves to play with them, engaging in creative activities that both entertain and educate. Whether it's arts and crafts, imaginative games, or simply building with blocks, she always finds ways to make learning fun.
We've noticed significant growth and development in our baby since being with Izabella. It's heartwarming to see how much our child has learned and flourished under her care. She not only cares for the children but also nurtures their curiosity and growth in such a positive way.
She creates a safe, nurturing environment where children feel happy and secure. As parents, it's a relief to know that our children are in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and enthusiastic childminder who truly makes a difference in children's lives.

I could not recommend this setting enough! From the moment we went to look around and met Iza we knew our son will love this place, and he did!
It is a small intimate setting at her home and that’s exactly what we wanted. We can truly see that she cares for each and everyone, she’s good at updating about what your child was doing though out the day, often with pictures. It is clear to us that she deeply cares about our son and I know he is always safe and happy there.
She make a huge effort to celebrate different occasions, making sure our son plays with different toys, textures and arts. The child proof garden it’s a lovely addition to this house.
Could not recommend Iza enough. She’s a real blessing for our family!!

I have been relying on Izabela's childminding services for the past four years, first for my older daughter and now for my younger one. We often seek her help for babysitting when my husband and I want to go out, and I must say that Izabela has been an absolute blessing!
Her honesty and love for children are truly remarkable. It's evident that she genuinely cares for each child under her care, and this has created a strong bond between her and my kids. They adore her so much that they sometimes don't want to come back home!
Izabela's dedication and genuine affection for children provide us with a great sense of comfort whenever we leave our little ones with her. We have complete trust in her ability to take care of them and ensure their safety and well-being.
If you are looking for a childminder who is not only reliable and responsible but also genuinely loves and cares for children, I wholeheartedly recommend Izabela. She has become an integral part of our family, and we are grateful for the love and attention she has showered upon our children throughout these years.

Izabela cared for my son, a number of full days, every week, from age 1 to age 4.
Well resourced both practically and creatively, Izabela takes a holistic approach to each child's developmental experience, in her care. Enthusiastic and energetic, Izabela welcomes kids into a 'home from home' environment, as well as taking them out and about, where she is well respected within the community. Izabela is in tune with kids and their needs, and helped my SEN child immeasurably. She is keen to help each child maximise their strengths.
