Derya is an amazing childminder. I was going back to work as my daughter was turning 1, I could not have imagined leaving my baby with anyone. Even after the settling in session, my daughter seemed happy and in no time at all she really started really looking forward to her time with Derya and happily went in every time at drop off.

It was very clear, that my daughter was always looked after very well indeed. The food they cook there was delicious, always freshly made on the day and proper balanced meals.

We noticed that our daughter’s communication skills were developing very fast and she was achieving all the milestones really well. She made friends and learned fantastic table manners and social skills, like taking turns and sharing.

Derya has all the activities planned out for the week and it is a proper curriculum with dancing, singing, games, drawing and other activities. Derya is also very reliable. In 2 years we have been with her, she has never missed a day of work which is so important when it comes to childcare! She’d also be accommodating if my husband or I were running late for a pick up.

We have trusted Derya wholeheartedly, we knew our baby was in safe hands.

My daughter is now in a kindergarten group at school and we miss Derya and our home-to-home environment a lot.

I can’t recommend Derya highly enough. I would be happy to give further personal reference over if you would like to reach out to me. Alexandra
