My daughter started with Ivana just after she turned 1. She was only just learning to crawl when she started so very much still a little baby! She’s been attending with Ivana for almost a year and has flourished and thrived into the most confident, bouncy, bubbly, dancing, ABC singing, counting 2 year old.
Ivana not only creates a stable, heartwarming lovely home from home environment, she fills my daughter with happiness and life long learning stepping stones to produce the BEST start in life for children and babies (following the EYFS of course!
She’s child led, which from the constant array of photos I get, she lets my daughter lead her learning and paves the way for my daughter to explore. She has allowed my daughter to expand on her obsession with letters and numbers, craft her way through all of the arts and crafts supplies (sorry!) and has a garden of dreams with lots of water play, an outside park and plenty of space to run around in a secure locked garden.
My daughter loves her animals, the cat and the dog and often referred to at home, and her daughter too!
I observed Ivanna at two different groups she attends with the children before we arranged a visit. She has a great rapport with all the children she looks after, 110% involved in the activities she takes the children to, (which they attend a lot of!)
I provide my daughter with wellies and a Puddlesuit every day, and it always comes back muddy ( a toddlers DREAM)
She gets my daughter to eat things I wouldn’t dream of feeding her at home, but you can always smell the home cooked meals at pick up. Delicious.
Ivana’s flexibility at certain points has been phenomenal. Every child is different and are treated like individuals. The love, care and attentiveness of Ivana’s family is such a heartwarming and cherishing time, since the early years of your child’s life has been proven to be THE MOST important part of their lives, and the affects of these moments will have a lasting affect on my toddler
And I never want her to leave 😭😭
I was lucky enough to have Ivana look after my two boys for a few years and she was absolutely fantastic my two boys still to this day absolutely adore her and her family. She is so kind and caring and treats other peoples children as her own children as well as doing so many educational activities and also fun ones with the kids always very creative with what she does, and it’s never a dull day when your kids are with her.
I recommend Ivana to everyone and anyone who’s ever told me that they need a Childminder because she is one in a million and would happily send any future children to her as well. If you want a place where your children and you are going to be extremely comfortable, Ivana is the person to go to!
Thank you for everything :)

thank you very much for your kind review. miss having boys around a lot. love to you all ❤️
Ivana is great and I am so glad that I found her on this app.
The environment is perfect and child safe, a large garden with lots of outdoor fun for the kids, all the activities that the kids do are great, my daughter really enjoys her time there. Ivana also helps with homework, reading, school drop off and collection, breakfast lunch and dinner and by the time my child is ready to be collected for home she is drained! :) Would really recommend! Such a massive help.

thank you very much for a lovely review. We love having L with us ❤
We were looking for childcare in a hurry. We had to move quite suddenly and found our options limited. However, we had the good fortune to find a space with Ivana. She welcomed our son Daniel into her fold. She was amenable and flexible and able to adapt to our needs. Our son Danny is a fantastic, feisty, lively toddler for whom Ivana has endless patience and understanding. Her family have shown a genuine affection for him, and he has developed so well with physical care (including toilet training), language and numerical development. Ivana provides a range of nutritious meals which he has come to love. He never wants to leave!
Ivana is exactly what I was looking for when I was first going back to work as I didn't want him in a nursery so young. My son has been with her for just over 2years he just loves going and I has come leaps and bounds in his speech,play and learning. She provide a great space for the children develop into there own person and each evening I love hearing all the things hes got up to in this day.
Would highly recommend Ivana as she is easy to talk to , amazing childminder and has help me so much and my son see her place as a second home.

B was with me since he was 10 months old so nearly 3 years. It was such an amazing child, watching him grow and becoming smart little man was such a pleasure for me and my whole family. My children would take B for their young brother anytime :)
Thank you for being amazing family, fantastic understanding and support when dealing with B's development and behavior. You are always very welcome in our house <3
Ivana was truly a wonderful childminder to my little boy, her home is a warm and friendly environment where the children make lovely friendships. Ivana showed endless patience caring for him and also help me to get his diagnosis (Autism spectrum ), she always communicates well regarding any issues. Ivana is a very experienced and exceptional childminder I would not hesitate to recommend her based on my experience.

Thank you very much for an amazing review and recommendation. It was a pleasure to look after T and your family will always stay in my heart
Ivana has been taking care of my daughter Alice since she was only 1year old.
Alice was very shy and found everything quite scary and hard to adapt to new changes. Unfortunately as a first time mother I was the same. Ivana done an amazing job by working 3 days a week with Alice and reassuring me.
Now one year on Alice is doing amazing, she dance , sings play with group of children and is very well educated.
I will highly recommend Ivana !
