Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We hadn’t initially considered a childminder, but after my son struggled to settle in nursery, we started looking for other options, and we couldn’t have been luckier to find Neeta. She has looked after both my boys from the age of 9 months until they were ready for kindergarten, and she now truly feels like part of our family.
Not only is Neeta a fountain of parenting advice, but she’s also a genuinely lovely person. Her setting offers all the social benefits of a nursery with plenty of interaction with other children and a structured learning curriculum, which she updates us on weekly, while also providing the personal touch of a more tailored childcare environment. She’s gone above and beyond to support our requests around potty training, dietary needs, and sleep routines, and has helped emotionally prepare the boys for school.
Her home is perfectly set up for the children, yet still feels warm and welcoming, like they’re part of a family. My boys and I have made lasting friendships with other children and parents through Neeta, and I know these bonds will continue for years to come.
If it’s not already obvious, I cannot recommend Neeta highly enough! My children love her, and I’m sure yours would too.

Dear Amy,
We are so grateful that you chose to share your children’s childhood with us. We are very grateful for your kind words and we hope that this association continues for years to come. We are really excited about the children’s new adventure. It’s been an absolute pleasure having you in our lives.
Warm regards,
Puneeta
We are so thankful that we chose Neeta to care for our son in the early stages of his life. She is so kind and caring, doing everything in her power to make everyone feel like a part of her family! Neeta is extremely flexible and has helped on many occasions when we’ve had emergency situations where we needed extra childcare. We don’t have family living nearby so this was always greatly appreciated! Neeta goes above and beyond for each child and will always support you as a parent. For example, when our son had a food intolerance and we couldn’t work out what it was, she kept a detailed diary of everything he ate and drank to help us work out together what the intolerance was.
Our son has grown and developed a significant amount in Neeta’s care. He has become extremely confident and chatty and has been able to form such strong and positive bonds with the other children. Neeta is excellent at identifying next steps for each child and she works with parents to achieve these, but most importantly, she provides a safe and nurturing environment where our son has been able to happily play and grow!
We could not recommend Neeta enough. It really has felt like we’ve been sending our son to a very experienced and knowledgeable family member! I’ve always felt extremely comfortable leaving him at her house as we have full confidence in her, we always knew we were leaving him in good hands.
And a special mention for Zoran who has such a kind, calm and gentle demeanour with all of the children! We will truly miss seeing you both each week but we’re so glad that we chose you to care for our son. Thank you!

Dear Eva,
thank you so much for your kind words and your warmth. And, more importantly, thank you for sharing his childhood with us and trusting us. He has brought so much joy and laughter to our home. It was such a pleasure to care for him, he is such a polite and kind-hearted child. We know that he will thrive in the new environment and development new bonds and friendships as he grows. Please keep in touch and share with us this next stage of his journey.
With warm hugs to our little boy,
Neeta and Zoran
Our daughter has been with Neeta for the past 4 years and is just leaving to go to school aged 5. From the moment she started with Neeta we knew we had made the right decision.
Neeta goes above and beyond to ensure the children feel secure and loved and provides such a warm, family-feeling environment. It really does feel like a big happy family!
Our daughter has thrived in Neeta’s care which was the reason we kept her here until she started school instead of moving her to a pre school. The individual attention and care that each child gets is the reason why they all thrive.
Neeta has supported us as we navigated the early years as new parents and we have loved seeing our daughter develop and grow with the support of Neeta.
We honestly cannot recommend Neeta enough and we have done so to many friends whose children have also been looked after here.

Dear Sam,
Thank you so much for you warm and kind words. It has been a pleasure having Luna with us. We wish her all the best for the future and her new adventure.
When I went back to work after mat leave I was very worried about dropping off my little girl at a big nursery setting but could not afford 1-2-1 care. Neeta provided all the love, care and attention we could have possibly wished for. Now that our second child is old enough to leave Neeta's care we all feel equal parts incredibly sad that he's leaving and grateful to have had her and her lovely family in our lives.
Everything at Neeta's setting is excellent; from the food, to the garden, to the educational activities and the attention she gives every single child. As a parent, you can be 100% confident that at Neeta's your child will find the love and care they need in your absence.

Dear Hekate,
thank you so much for your kind words. It has been such a joy for us to care for your little ones and see them blossom. We will surely keep in touch and will be there for you when you might need us.
With warm hugs,
Neeta
Both of our children have been with Neeta from the age of 9 months. The eldest is now 4, and we were devastated to leave Neeta because we moved away from the area. Neeta's setting is wonderful - she has a wealth of experience, imagination and resources, is deeply committed to her charges and provides for each of them as individuals. She is tremendously supportive of our family (including wonderful care & assistance following the birth of our second child during the Pandemic), focussed on our children's development and keeps us up to date with pictures & ideas for them. She radiates warmth and affection, and our children have thrived in her care. We consider Neeta and her family to be part of our family now. We could not recommend her any more highly..

We looked into childminders when my 10 month son struggled to settle at a nursery and how lucky we were to find Neeta.
Her experience, wisdom and support were so beneficial. We found the setting to have a warm and family feel but with the structure and learning you expect from a nursery (if not better!). You receive great reporting and regular photos throughout the day which I love. He has had a truly happy and fulfilling time.
My son has just transitioned to preschool after being with Neeta for 2 years. I would say his confidence and ability levels are all down to the work by Neeta.
My son will continue to go in holidays and my younger son will start next year.

Dear Amy,
thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have your older boy with us and support him to develop and grow. We are looking forward to seeing him over the holidays. We are also looking forward to greet your little one into our setting next year. With warm hugs and kisses to our two little princes.
Neeta has child minded our son for the last two and a half years for 4 days a week. We rate her extremely highly. Our son has thrived in the warm, caring and stimulating environment she provides the the children under her care. She takes time to understand each child’s needs and areas to develop and is excellent at communicating with parents to update them on progress and with ideas to work on. She was very reassuring in the early days when our son began going to her setting and he settled in very quickly. She seems to have endless resources and toys and games to keep them stimulated and entertained but also to help them learn. The meals she cooks always look and sound nutritious and delicious and our son eats a huge variety of foods with her that he would never try at home! He has thoroughly enjoyed his time with her and has made very good friends. He has also progressed very well with his motor skills and speech and Neeta has ensured he is fully ready for the next stage of pre school. She also provides great flexibility which is very helpful for two full time working parents. We know we are very lucky to have her so close and to have the opportunity for our son to continue to go to her setting in school holidays. Thank you for everything Neeta!

Thank you very much for your warm words. We really enjoyed having your son with us and teaching him and supporting him to grow and develop so much, especially his speech and his gross and fine motor skills. It has been a joy to talk and discuss things with him and see him master complex movements. He is now a big boy, ready for new experiences and new friends in his school. Please share with us how the new chapter in his development will progress and send us pictures to see him grow. With warmest hugs to our big boy.
We are blessed to know Neeta and her family and have her play such a huge role in our daughter’s journey. Neeta is an extraordinary childminder, who looked after my daughter for two years. Prior to meeting Neeta I had given up on finding suitable childcare for my little girl but as soon as I met Neeta I knew we were in safe hands. My daughter settled in straight away and blossomed every day since and she is now starting primary school. My little girl LOVES Neeta and her family and smiles from ear to ear when she’s going there!
Neeta goes above and beyond being a childminder, as a mother she empathises with parents – she ensures that she fully knows each little one, their likes and dislikes, their needs and requirements and their families and she builds each day around them, their education and their wellbeing. It is a home away from home with individual care and attention. She is always professional and patient and gives of her time to listen to parents and to talk through each development and achievement of the children.
Neeta’s home is fully devoted to the children in her care with a wealth of toys, books, equipment and resources, both indoors and in her beautiful outdoor space which are regularly refreshed to keep children learning and exploring. All sorts of daily, well planned activities take place to keep little hands and minds busy and content. Neeta always sends wonderful photos and updates of what the children are doing each day. At the end of the week we get a wonderful weekly log informing us of everything that has been learnt throughout the week with a collage of photos so you really feel as if you are not missing out on anything. Neeta’s food is very popular with the little ones and parents. Homemade dishes are cooked and served freshly and all tastes catered for and it is always varied. Healthy snacks are provided also. If ever I had to pick up my little girl at an odd time etc. Neeta always ensured that she was fed and ready for wherever we were going.
Neeta’s hours are amazing and really suit working parents. She is also very flexible and understanding when things change at work last minute and I am so lucky that she has been so accommodating with us. Nothing is ever a problem/ issue and Neeta’s manner and approach is always calm and caring. She is an expert in everything and a master at paperwork too. Neeta has been a lifesaver and will do anything she can to help and support the children and their families; her knowledge is invaluable. We are so sad to be leaving Neeta and we can’t thank her enough or sing her praises high enough. An amazing childminder and person and highly recommended!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have all enjoyed so much having your daughter with us since she came to us as a baby and seeing her over the past few years grow, develop and blossom. We felt her love and we grew very attached to her. We are sorry to see her leave us, but she is a big girl now and we wish her many new friends and lovely warm experiences in her school with her new friends. We definitely hope to stay in touch and see her grow and develop further in her new environment. Please give her our warmest hugs and cuddles, and please share the occasional picture and message about our lovely baby.
We were very blessed to have found Neeta. She looked after our 2 year old son until he was 4 years old, and then our 9 month old daughter. We always felt confident that Neeta, and her family, would have our children's safety, physical and emotional health as her priority, which we knew from the happy little faces we saw when we collected them at home time. She definitely is very experienced, warm and caring, and she know alot about childrens needs. She is careful to accomodate each child's dietary needs, and she cooks amazingly. We are a vegan family, and she made sure to give them balanced meals. Thanks to her, we all love curries now as part of our home menu. She even came to give us a cooking lesson at our house, as our son loved her food alot, as did our little daughter. She has a very homely space indoors, and a lovely big play area outside. She accomodated our last minute schedule changes as best as she could, and her family are all so loving and involved when they are there. We unfortunately had to move, and sadly could not uproot Neeta and her family to come with us! We miss her and her family! Thanks for everything Neeta!! You're one of a kind!.......

For new parents like us it was such a relief to find Neeta! Not only does she know a lot more about raising children right than we ever will, she also genuinely cares and loves every single child in her care. As good a childminder as one could ever find. Highly recommended.

Neeta was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best decision we made. My daughter has been going there for almost 2 years and it's been an incredible journey.
From the start Neeta has always been very flexible and accommodating which was wonderful.
We all know it can be difficult to leave your little one in the morning but Neeta's house is filled with warmth, love and laughter which made it a lot easier for me.
She provides lots of different activities for the children and takes them out to the playground and the park. My daughter particularly enjoyed all the arts and craft there and playing in the garden, including the big trampoline, the castle, water play, exploring the herbs and plants and so on!
She provides lovely homemade meals and healthy snacks for the children. We really enjoy reading the weekly reports, full of pictures.
It's now time for my daughter to fly the nest and go to school, she has met some lovely friends there and Neeta will very much be missed. I would highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your kind words, having her was a true pleasure!
Neeta is a fantastic childminder and we highly recommend her. Our son, who is 2, has been coming to Neeta five mornings a week since June this year. Neeta is warm, friendly and full of enthusiasm. Upon meeting her, we could see she loves what she does and that she is 'all about the children' and helping them to blossom and develop.
Neeta's house and garden are full of toys and equipment for children of all ages to play with. Everyday she plans lovely activities for the children from arts and crafts, singing and dancing, baking to teddy bears' picnics. Neeta often takes the children to the park where they learn how to cross roads safely along the way.
Neeta cooks a range of delicious and healthy meals and has introduced our son to a variety of foods. He will eat everything at Neeta's but at home is incredibly fussy!
Neeta has created a Learning Journey of our little boy's time with her. She assesses him regularly and adds photos and comments of all his learning and experiences. We love receiving the folder at the end of each week to find out what he has done and achieved. She also sends us daily photos and updates on Whatsapp which gives us an insight into what kind of day he is having.
Neeta is extremely flexible and always fits in with our ever changing childcare needs. She is so supportive and willingly offers advice and suggestions, often going the extra mile to help us as parents of a toddler!
We are really sad to be leaving her but unfortunately we are leaving the area. Our little boy has been so happy with Neeta and we have seen him blossom.
Thank you Neeta for everything you have done for us and we will definitely miss you!

Oh, Kim, thank you so much for your kind and warm words. I really enjoyed having Josh with us and I know he had fun with us as well. I hope you will find great child support for Josh in your new area and that we will all stay in touch so that we can see how our Joshi is growing. With warmest regards and hugs,
Neeta
My daughter came to Neeta's when she was 1 year old and has been attending for 3 days a week for 2 years. Neeta is a highly experienced childminder with over 20 years experience. As we were first time parents Neeta was an invaluable source of excellent parental tips. Our daughter now attends Neeta's throughout the school holidays meeting the little friends she made and absolutely loves it. When we had trouble getting our daughter to eat, Neeta was on hand to give us some great tips- our daughter still eats a whole range of food at Neeta's that we still find a little challenging to get our daughter to eat- a testimony in itself to Neeta's skill, experience and knowledge of baby and toddler children. Neeta is also very flexible with sudden changes to the days our daughter attends which has been really useful while we are working. Neeta has children of her own which makes the setting like one big family. We still continue to use Neeta's service to date and plan to continue to do so.
I would most definitely recommend.

My son has been with Neeta for about a year now. He is very shy and had been slow with his speech. He developed beautifully with Neeta and the stimulating environment her home provides.
Neeta is endlessly resourceful on parenting tips and develops an excellent rapport with kids. She immediately understood what our son needed and was able to provide that support to him and to us. Whenever I go to drop off or pickup my son, I notice a loving, nurturing environment with lots of laughter for the kids to grow and blossom. All her meals are well planned to suit the specific dietary requirements of the babies / toddlers. She often takes the children she cares for on small outdoor picnics which makes it exciting for them. She is one of the few carers who spends time understanding the child and his environment and tries to create happy learning experience for him. She is one of my favourite people for her boundless kindness, enthusiasm and ability to stay calm and smile in any situation.

Thankyou for your warm thoughts!You are too kind!
My daughter has been with Neeta for over a year and we've had a wonderful experience! I can't recommend Neeta highly enough.
I was very reluctant and worried to leave my daughter with anyone- but when I started work I had to find a solution for my younger daughter who was 21 months to be looked after and also cover for my older daughter for school holidays.
Neeta was very understanding and reassuring and for me it was important that Neeta as a mother herself understood completely the worries I had when leaving my precious child with someone new for the first time. She has made the settling in really easy for both me and my daughter and has always been very transparent and kept me informed and updated re food, nap, routine, what happened during the day and listened to my worries and accommodated specific needs. She has welcomed my daughter very warmly and and she has absolutely blossomed in the last year. I am amazed at how confident she has become and how lovely she has learnt to play and interact with other children . I put lots of her achievements down to Neetas work!! Neeta has an unbelievable amount of toys and games and a wealth of ideas as of what to do and play with the children, according to their individual age and interests and needs. Neeta is very experienced and knowledgeable with children and confident how to handle children of different ages and abilities which you'll notice straight away. She has a lovely way with with my daughter and all children. She is lovely and gentle but firm with the children and handles the unbelievable stress and and pressure of organizing all the children and school runs and getting everyone where they should be with ease and always with a smile on her face. Even in the most stressful situations I am amazed at how calm and collected she stays and always with the children on the forefront of her mind and their best interest at heart!
Neeta always does her atmost best to accommodate the needs of working parents and changing situations. I have three children and no family nearby - whenever I have any situation out of the usual occurring at work or with one of the kids sick- Neeta has without fail always helped me out, even at the short notice and it always worked out perfectly.
My daughter loves going to Neeta and I have total peace of mind and can concentrate on work! Whenever I pick her up its a happy and cheerful buzzing environment full of laughter. It feels like a big family with lots of children rather than a childcare setting! Just exactly what we needed- a home away from home for my children and I don't yet know how I will survive in sept when my little girls starts pre school! We will all sorely miss Neeta and all her family!

Awwww Thankyou so much for your kind and warm words. We are truly going to miss you !!
Neeta has been my son's childminder for over 5 years now. He first started going to Neeta when he was 1 year old and he Neeta has ensured that he has grown and developed that she provides him with age appropriate activities and childcare.
Neeta provides an exceptional level of childcare, my son is treated and feels like one of the family, the environment is warm, safe and friendly. My son eats lots of foods at Neeta's that he won't eat at home! He certainly finds it a happy and secure place to be, where in his words, he "has fun".
Neeta is very supportive, I have called on her child education and development expertise on a number of occasions. Neeta believes in joining up all of the environments that a child is involved in so that she can provide the best childcare.
Neeta understands the demands of a working parent and is very flexible and supportive. I have told her on a number of occasions that "she has saved my life".
I can't recommend Neeta enough. When we moved to the area we did not have any family close by but we now consider that with Neeta and her family that we do.

Dear Emma,
thank you so much for your warm and kind words. I am truly touched.We all hold you very warmly in our hearts too.
We cannot recommend Neeta highly enough, she is warm, loving, fun and a very experienced childminder. We’re very sad to have to leave Neeta (as we are moving away from the area) as we would have loved her to continue to look after our daughter (who's almost 2) even after she started school.
It's a cliché to say that you feel as if you've found a childminder who is like one of the family, but for us that, was the level of care, security and peace of mind Neeta gave us and our daughter. Neeta’s house is warm and open and full of love and learning. It was obvious from our first meeting that she was warmly loved by the children in her care and that her relationship with them was genuine. Neeta has a great set up - with a huge variety of toys and a fantastic garden with loads for the kids to play with outside. Neeta is also a great cook and our daughter without doubt prefers Neeta’s food to mine! For small children it is simply the perfect place to be - a home away from home.
Neeta helped make the settling in process as easy as possible for our then one year old, and made it a bit less difficult for me to return back to work knowing that our daughter was being well looked after. Neeta has always been so flexible and able to help out with a last minute ‘emergencies’ if we’ve ever needed additional childcare help which is also invaluable.
We feel privileged to have found her, and we highly recommend Neeta without hesitation to anyone looking for extremely professional, qualified and loving childcare.

Thank you so much for these warm words! I enjoyed very much having your little butterfly with me and was really sad when I heard that you are leaving. I hope, however, that we will manage to keep in touch and that I will be able to see her fly. All the best for the future to the family.
We were only with Neeta for a few months as we are moving from Loughton but she has been absolutely perfect. She is flexible, reassuring, friendly, welcoming, helpful, proffessional and experienced. We couldn't have hoped for a better introduction to childcare for Jonathan. We will really miss her and her warm home. Thanks so much! From Alex, Patrick and Jonathan.

Awwwww Bless thank you so much ! Jonathan was truly a pleasure to look after. All the best for future!
When I stepped into her house the first time, I knew I had found the right place for our daughter. Neeta has a very warm and kind personality and my daughter instantly warmed to her. Our daughter loves going to Neeta and always comes home happy with lots of stories to tell.
Neeta is professional, flexible, endlessly resourceful and patient.
Neeta offers fun and well thought through activities; always with individual development stages in mind. Neeta takes our daughter to trips to museums, playgroups and parks. She’s very observant and she knows all the children very well. She is firm but kind, and is able to deal with any behaviour in a calm and compassionate way.
Neeta cooks all her meals from scratch and has been very flexible in accommodating our daughter’s dietary requirements.
Neeta also offers a wealth of knowledge and advice which I find very valuable. I am able to go to work knowing my daughter is having a great time with all her needs met. She offers a safe, fun and stimulating environment where children can grow and blossom. Neeta has been looking after our daughter for over year and I can't say enough how happy we all are with the wealth she offers.
Highly, highly recommended!

Thankyou so much for your vote of confidence!!
We chose Neeta when we required a flexible childcare arrangement when our daughter was 7 months. We chose Neeta because she was so warm with the children. She sees childminding as a profession, and looks to improve the service for her children all the time. She takes an enormous amount of pride in providing the very best experience for all the children, with all kinds of activities, trips, and play in a warm family environment. I'd echo one of the previous reviews about the fabulous cooking smells when I go in to collect our daughter! Our daughter is now heading for school this year, and over the years we have seen her care for many different children, some more difficult than others, all with their own personalities respected and all treated with the greatest of kindness. She is firm but kind with the children. Due to my own varied working patterns I have been at Neeta's at all different times of day, and have been invited to join day trips, and can honestly say I have never seen her shout at a child. I'm in awe of her seemingly endless supply of patience and resources, enthusiastically finding yet another activity when children are staying later when I know she received the first child in before 8am. She is also knowledgeable and supportive of other childcare in the area, encouraging us to look at nursery when our daughter became eligible for free places so that our daughter could experience a different environment closer to what she would have at school. We continue to use a mix of nursery and Neeta for our childcare as we would like to maintain that link for our daughter. Neeta is an endless supply of good ideas and suggestions for all stages that we have been through with our daughter, and we can't imagine how we would have managed without her. She is now a very much much loved part of our family.

Awwwww bless you !much touched!!
I am Erick, and I will be 4 years old soon. My mommy started full time work last year in September, so I needed to find somebody to replace her!!
I have to mention that my mommy was a school teacher some time ago and she practiced for 5 years, so she was quite fussy in finding the right person for me!!
I had a few problems too.......I didn't want to eat any sort of meat, no eggs, no potato, no sausage ........ the only food I loked was gren beans,, couscous , fish and.......that would be all!!!!
On top of everything, I really really wanted to stay only and only with my mother, I couldn't understand why she had to go to work????????Who was going to love me the same way she does??
And then she found Neeta!!!!
And I was very happy!!!!!!!!
I have now a lot of friends, I EAT now everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! meat, eggs, sausage rolls, vegetables......you name it.....I eat it!!!!!!!
Neeta's house now is my house!!! And sometimes mom's house too, when she wants to relax, to talk to a friend......to watch me playing!!!!!
Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot to tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was nearly 3 when Neeta started to take care of me, and I wasn't saying a single word!!!!!!!!!!! I refused to speak!!!!!!
Now, after one year..............I can talk, sing, I know all the letters and I can count to 20.
All thanx to Neeta!!!
I love you Neeta, and my family loves you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou so much for the review ,it has been a pleasure to see Eric Blossom !!and I hope we keep in touch so I can see Eric grow and Fly!!!!
I have always been sceptical of childminders, but Neeta has defiantly eradicated any fares I had. I have a 3yr old daughter Nyima who has been going to Neeta’s since about 18months old this was coming from a nursery setting.
I found Neeta to be a warm loving and inviting, she made us feel comfortable and she readily opened her home. Nyima was a shy child but within weeks settled into her environment and was happy to be left of a morning. On collection she was still bright in mood she looked well cared for and always sad to leave!!
Working shifts I was looking for someone who could support me and be flexible and I found that. I always know what’s happening, what Nyima has been up to Neeta is always available with feedback, reports and pictures. There are a number of indoor and out door activities that take place and also a lot of socialising out side the home attending clubs. (I no longer take Neeta’s word for it as Nyima talks loads and keeps me informed)
To end I am very reassured that my child goes from home to home! And the care is just as good as her mummy’s :o))

Awwww bless you Thankyou!!
Since Elisa has been going to Neeta’s I’ve been reassured that I made the best choice I could for my cherub!
Neeta has a really lovely manner with all the children in her care. She is always cheerful, kind, calm and patient with them (and nervous mummies like me!). All the children in her care are happy and well behaved and know what’s expected of them. I also like the fact that she always finds time to discuss any queries and issues I have as a mum and is full of practical advice!
When Elisa started going to Neeta's she was quite poorly, as she had just been diagnosed as lactose intolerant. Neeta took her in and took the best care for her. She knows all the right products and things which are good for her and has actually helped adjust to Elisa's new regime.
My little girl really loves the fact that Neeta takes her to toddler groups (and thus I do not have to do that!! ) and allows her to explore with paint, play dough and other arts and craft activities. When the weather is good, I regularly see Neeta taking the children to the park and in the garden.
I am well-impressed by the variety of toys that Neeta has. Elisa gets the opportunity to play with both girls and boys toys - which is great!!
I’ve really seen Elisa’s progress since she’s spent time with Neeta and the other children in her care. Her vocabulary is expanding on a weekly basis and she always comes home and shares what Neeta has taught her today!
While Elisa is always very pleased to see me at the end of the day she’s never desperate to go home and always arrives at Neeta's with a smile. She’s so happy there and really loves the atmosphere. Without prompt my little one is always saying "I love my Neeta, mummy!" This knowledge makes me calm and reassured when I am at work.
Whenever I go to pick up Elisa I’ve seen all the children frisky and safely engaged. When I’ve been at dinner times the food smells heavenly and looks yummy.

Neeta is a highly trustworthy childminder who thoroughly enjoys her job. She provides great care for my children and creates a very friendly environment for children of all backgrounds.
