My ethos is to provide a child centred approach by working closely with parents communicating their children's need on daily basis. I follow EYFS and often mix activities of other approaches between montessori and forest schools. We attend parks weekly, educational trips and playgroups when possible. Hygiene is at a high standard. I have a large private and secure garden area which can be used all year round. All meals are freshly home cooked and I cater to specific diets so just let me know.

Reviews
Anila Sinanaj
“Blerina(Lina) is everything I hoped I would find in a childminder. Since the moment we met her she put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy and professional manner. My children (5 years and 1 year old ) really enjoy their time with Lina. She creates a fun and educational environment, with a big variety of activities and is attentive to development. She documents every milestones development and answers every question or concerns that we might have. She cooks fresh and healthy meals every day, very tasty as well as my son says: "Lina is the best cook" in the world. She has a lovely outside space for children to use as well. Lina is very attentive to details, very kind, patient person, fantastic childminder. She is very flexible and very supportive as I have a busy job. We are blessed to have found Lina. I cannot recommend her enough to every parent who is looking for a childminder".”

“"Blerina is very passionate, caring and a responsible carer. We are very happy for our son to be under her care. She provides home cooked meals. She ensures children are stimulated every day with different activities such as cooking, arts and crafts, discussion about various topics. My son has learned a lot during his stay at Blerina Tiney Home nursery . I wish for Blerina to grow and expand as her approach to her job is exceptional".”
Yesica
“Blerina is very friendly and she is always willing to help with kids needs. She keeps me aware about my sons development and skills and giving support or suggestions for any casual situation. So lovely with the kids and She shows herself as a good professional childminder giving to the kids different learning experiences and especially having so much fun. I am really happy to find a carer like her.”
Trudie
“My son absolutely loved going to Blerina's, never cried once since he met her. The setting is very clean and Blerina was very friendly and caring. She always tended to my sons needs and he really loved her. My son always ate well and healthy with Blerina also.”
Marisa
“My son was going to a local nursery and when covid came, I decided to send him to a smaller setting. All I can say is I wish I had done this sooner. The 121 care that Blerina gives to the kids is so much better. My son loves her. He never complained once! Whereas at nursery, he would complain and it would break my heart. The quality off food is also better . Before the only fruit they had were banana apple and oranges . At Linas they have seasonal fruits and vegetables which is so important for their immune system. In fact my son hasn't been sick once, whereas before he would have constant cold and cough. The activities are also much better. At least once a week they go to the park , before they would only go 3/4 times a year. I am beyond happy with Blerina I only wish I had met her sooner.”

“"I cannot recommend Lina and her setting higher enough! Her place is perfectly clean, full of different activities, she is so positive, calm and good! I was at ease from the first minute I left my little one. He is very happy and super excited to go there every time. 15/10"”

“"I’m really happy to I’ve made the choice to enrol my son to Blerina space. He start end of October and I was a bit worried as he will be okay, but she is amazing, she report me end of the day, how he feel, what’s happened during the day which make me feel better. Also my son improved so much, we can see the difference, is well she gives a lot of advice about the normal development in each period he pass. She cook fresh meals, very tasty and healthy. Always is very very clean and the hygiene it’s on a high standard.End of each week I’ve received photo from the place she take’s the kids (playground, park and t.c.) . My son is so excited every day when we go to nursery, always excited to be there. I highly recommend" !”

“Lina has been amazing for my little boy. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable about child development, but also emotionally intuitive and flexible, making a truly safe space for my little boy to learn and grow. Raphi is an intelligent and sensitive child, and she understood what he needed and observed him closely. She has an amazing range of activities and has a set up as well, if not better, equipped than any nursery I have seen in the area. This is combined by delicious home cooked and colourful meals, and a warm atmosphere. Thank you Lina for all your care. Xxx”
Ewelina
“We're so thankful for Blerina. She cares a lot about the kids and want them to be happy and safe. One thing that's really great is how well she talk to us. When we have questions or worries, she always listen and make us feel better. It feels really good to know our little one is with someone who is always there and takes good care of them. Blerina is the best childminder ever! Thank you so much for everything you've done to teach and care for Lea. We truly appreciate your love, dedication, and hard work. We are so happy that YOU helped her get ready for the next stage of her life. We'll miss you, but we're sure that we'll see each other again.”
Kveta
“Superstar We absolutely love Blerina! Our little daughter has been going here since he was 20 months old and we are incredibly happy with how well she growing and developing at Blerina. Blerina extremely considerate and has created a warm, loving and fun environment for all the children. My daughter asking me (on Saturday) can I go Nina house ? My daughter loves Blerina so much! We wouldn’t have her anywhere else!”
Sabina
“An outstanding childminder!💫 I couldn't have wished for better care for my son who truly adores Lina. He always enjoys spending the day with her and is delighted to see all of his buddies. Since attending her setting, my little one flourishes in the loving, encouraging, and enjoyable atmosphere that Lina creates. She has outstanding parent-child communication, offers a wide range of daily activities for the kids, including plenty of time outside, and serves a highly nutritious home-cooked meals. She also has an excellent individual approach, understands children's needs, and allows them to grow throughout their wonderful educational journey together. I heartily endorses her to anyone searching for excellent, dependable, and compassionate childcare. Thank you very much for every day of your care, please know that you are greatly appreciated 💙”

“My son loves staying with Blerina. She always makes sure kids are doing different activities, learning new things and having healthy meals. Blerina would always address important things. She is creative, positive and very energetic :)”

“Amazing childminder ❤️ She is one wonderful person who help my daughter to grow up . She teach her to count , to be nice , lot of song and the most important think the training for toilet . My daughter she still ask for her and she love her so much ❤️”
Rocsana
“Excellent! I was quite worried about how my son would react to a new environment and new caregivers, because he was born in a pandemic period; but from the first day, both for him and for me, it was love at first sight. blerina's way of being makes anyone feel comfortable with her. Her dedication and love for each child is complete. To say that I am grateful to her and her assisstant would be an understatement for the support and security I feel when my baby is with them”
Tom
“Blerina was incredibly flexible and supportive transitioning our super-sensitive pandemic baby to four days a week after 18 months at home with Mum and Dad. Four months later and our little boy loves going to Lina’s. She is incredibly patient with him and has a warmth that is immediately clear on meeting her. The environment is good, with plenty of toys and some real variety in daily activities. Our WhatsApp is always buzzing with photos and updates, mostly happy and silly, with more on days we’ve expressed a worry to Blerina. Having worried after meeting a few childminders that we wouldn’t find one that felt right, Blerina has surpassed our expectations. From his learning to sleep on his own and feed himself at a table to his enthusiasm about early potty training, it’s clear that our boy is making real progress with her. It’s also clear that this is in no small part due to the the genuine love she shows the kids she works with. Highly recommended!”
