Our 9 month old son is looked after by Maninder full time and he loves it! Maninder is caring and kind and we are very happy that he is in her care. Maninder has 2 lovely children of her own and they have taken in our son as part of their family. The space at Marvellous Minds (in Maninder’s home) is great, the children have more room than in half of the nurseries I visited. There are plenty of toys, activities, arts/crafts, books etc. as well as ample space to run/crawl around. Maninder follows the Early Years Foundation but we feel she goes beyond this. Our son gets to do very creative activities which are often bases around current events/festivals in the calendar, for example, the recent World Book Day and the Holi Festival. He gets taken out and about to children’s centres so gets lots of fresh air as well as a change of scene and socialising with children outside of Marvellous Minds. Our son has all of his meals and snacks at Maninder’s, he gets plenty of fresh fruit and veg and a wide variety of different home cooked meals (we wish he’d bring home a doggy bag as they sound lovely!). Prior to setting up Marvellous Minds, Maninder has had her own experience of putting her children into childcare. She has used those experiences to put a lot of thought into creating an environment that leaves the parents feeling relaxed and comfortable putting their children into her care and gives the children themselves a very creative, interesting and active experience whilst in a caring home from home environment. We can thoroughly recommend Maninder.
