Dipika has been our childminder for the last 8 months to our 4.5 year old and 1 year old. She looks after our toddler son all day for 3 days and does wrap around care for our daughter who attends a school nursery during term time. Dipika has been nothing short of a lifesaver for us. My husband and I our both teachers which can make timings difficult but this has never been an issue for her. She is kind, caring, dependable and flexible. My children are exceptionally happy and settled with her, so much so, my daughter wants to go and play at her house after school on my days off instead of coming home! My son is always content to go to her house, particularly because she takes him to local play groups, parks and out locally. He loves the outdoors, and even though she has a garden with a trampoline, he is happiest out running in a big open space.

There are many instances where Dipika has done everything to help us out and be accommodating, I simply do not know what we would do without her. We are so lucky to have her.
