My Summary
About Me
Dear Parents,
My name is Gosia and I'm a registered Ofsted childminder in Brentford with over 23years of experience working in childcare.
I'm a professionally qualified and highly competent childcare provider. I have a great deal of experience working in childcare and also with children with special needs. I am an organized, good cook, tidy, caring responsible, calm and creative person. I am passionate about child development through play, exploring and learning.
I put a focus on providing the children I care for with love, support, and guidance so that they feel comfortable and relaxed while under my supervision.
I like art and craft so in my setting, we are doing messy and creative stuff every week.
My aim is to create a happy, welcome home for children to feel safe and happy. I believe that when children are happy they are willing and able to learn.
Children have access to activities in the local community such as rhyme time, playgroups, parks, playgrounds, visits to the library and the pet shop. I plan special trips such as Kew Gardens, trips to the museums, the theatre and nature reserves where children have the opportunity to encounter and discover new experiences.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My daughter started when she was 9 months old. Now she has passed 2 years and she is still with Gosia. My daughter loves to go there, she is enjoying every time. She learned that she grew her development and skills. Like parents, only what I can say is that we are blessed with a person like Gosia. Always creative, positive, amazing teacher, always smiled,calm. She also helps with good advice (we are young parents). The day when my daughters went there afternoon, she sent amazing and lovely pictures. And I can see how she is happy and how she enjoyed. For me it is very important.

Gosia is a wonderful childminder, our daughter absolutely loves spending time there. The setting is very clean and stimulating with excellent activities. Gosia is flexible and happy to accommodate dietary requirements etc. Gosia has also provided babysitting for our older daughter, who also loves going there. It's really helpful to have someone able to entertain them both as there is a 5 year age gap between them so this isn't always easy.

Gosia has looked after our daughter on a regular weekly basis for the past two years / since she was five months old. She is quite simply a fantastic childminder. Incredibly communicative and forever flexible in accommodating our daughter, often sometimes at short notice. She has been wonderful in helping with our daughter's development, particularly her language and social skills. We hugely value the bond that she has made with our daughter and consider their relationship to be a real blessing in our lives.

Gosia has been taking care of our baby part time since April. Our baby was 6 months old when she started and it was her first experience of childcare outside our home. Gosia made sure our baby settled in well and our baby has been very happy in her care. Gosia always keeps us updated on how the day goes and send us lovely pictures of our baby smiling and having fun. Her home setting is lovely and very welcoming for the children. She also takes the children to fun playgroups and to playgrounds/parks. Gosia is a very caring childminder and it is obvious the children are enjoying being under her care. We are very fortunate to have found her and would definitely recommend her as a childminder.

We have met Gosia in September 2022 and ever since my daughters first day with Gosia she loves it there. Gosia is very creative with the children no matter if they are going out to playgroups, playgrounds or staying at home, children are always kept busy. Gosia also keeps a daily routine which is very beneficial for the children. She also cooks home made meals and give the children a variety of different meals and snacks throughout the day keeping a healthy and balanced diet. It has only been a couple of months since we started working with Gosia but my daughter already loves it so much. Gosia is very caring and loving toward all the children. Even on the bad days when my daughter is teething Gosia still does an excellent job comforting her, while also entertaining the other children. Since the first time we came to meet Gosia she has been very welcoming and the atmosphere in her house is very homely and I can see why all the children feel very comfortable in her home. She also builds a very good relationship with the parents which I think is very important. Overall, I cannot recommend Gosia enough. At the beginning I was really worried about someone I don’t know looking after my daughter and that she won’t adapt well, but choosing Gosia as our childmind has been the best decision I’ve made.

Gosia is a really hard working and warm childminder we are really happy with how she treats our baby, you can really tell that she likes what she does. Every time our baby sees her she is really happy! She takes time to sleep her and respects all the dietary requirements. Very fortunate to have found Gosia!!

I've met Gosia in March 2022 when I was looking for childminder ( for my 8 months old daughter that time) one full day a week.
Gosia is always happy to help amd I can count on her, even in last minute " accident" when I need her unexpectedly. She has great attitude towards children and others. My daughter loves to spent time with Gosiaas she never gets bored with her thanks to Gosia's ideas and ceeativity. They often go to parks, playground, playgroups, local Zoo,museums and indoor activities for example Sykes and Ladders what is helpful when the weather is bad outside.
What is more, my daughter also practices art and music at Gosia's place as well as eating lovely home made meals prepared by Gosia, so I do not have to worry even if I forget snaks for my little one, she will never gets hungry🙂
I can not recommend Gosia more and I am pleased that I have her help, it means a lot to mecas Gosia is very trustworthy amd reliable person. If you need more information, do not hestitate to call me

Gosia looked after our 3.5 year old during his days off from Nursery. She was a great nanny and quickly built a strong relationship with our son who really enjoyed all the activities they did together. Gosia would always bring imaginative ideas to every session and we really saw our son develop his artistic abilities during their time together. Always punctual and communicative, we all really enjoyed the time our son had with Gosia. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gosia to any of our friends and family.

We have had Gosia looking after our children two days a week for almost two years now. Our now 3yo and 4yo love her. She takes them to all sorts of classes for us and organises days out and activities in the house too.
She is extremely trustworthy and capable and great with children. She has been mistaken for their mum while out and about with them which I think shows how good she is with them and the good relationship they all have.
Would recommend Gosia to anyone!

Gosia is a wonderful nanny - a lovely balance of fun, love and patience. Our boys really enjoyed every day together and will miss her so much. Gosia took them to playgroups, parks, museums and cooked nutritious meals and made our busy lives so much easier. We are so sad to say goodbye.
