We enrolled Krishika with Rashis when she was 18 months old and we had moved countries. I was very lucky to have found Rashis childcare. The whole team alongwith Miss Rashi provided very calm, joyful, happy, healthy and safe environment to my daughter.
They do fabulous job in instilling routines, good habits, learning activities and festival celebrations. They take utmost care with dietary requirements of kids and keep parents well informed on kids day to day progress. Whole team of teachers is so warm yet professional in their work. I have seen remarkable developments in Krishika. The help with pickup drops, creating beautiful memories and overall development of child team Rashi ace's in every aspect. Can't thank them enough for the way they have nurtured Krishika. Will recommend them to all parents 👍

Matei has been attending Rashi for around two and a half years, and he is truly thriving and gaining so much knowledge. Rashi and the team are remarkable; they combine their expertise with genuine love and attention for the children.Matei has made great strides in writing, counting, and becoming more sociable with his peers. The daily activities they provide, both indoors and outdoors, are enriching. We also celebrate special occasions like birthdays at Rashi, and we receive daily updates through pictures and videos showcasing their experiences. Rashi is incredibly approachable and offers valuable insights regarding the child's development and the challenges of growing up. Additionally, they provide convenient pick-up and drop-off services.
I really think this place is amazing! It gives parents the help they need and provides the love and care that every child deserves to grow up happy and healthy.

We can't recommend Rashi enough! She has been an absolute blessing to our family, providing top-notch care for our daughter. The way she treats the children in her care is truly exceptional - she welcomes them into her home and heart, making them feel like part of the family.
The nursery routine is well-structured and predictable, which has been incredibly beneficial for our child's development. Rashi encourages independence and self-confidence, while also providing a nurturing environment that makes the children feel safe and supported.
We've also been impressed with the attention she gives to academics, helping the children learn and grow in a fun and engaging way.
What really sets her apart, is her relationship with parents. She keeps us informed every step of the way, listens to our concerns, and offers valuable advice when needed. We feel like we're in partnership with her, working together to give our child the best possible start in life.
Sending our daughter to Rashi has given us complete peace of mind. We know she's in good hands, and that's priceless. If you're looking for a childminder who will love, care for, and nurture your child, look no further! 😊

When I moved from my hometown to the UK, I faced significant challenges in settling my child here. However, Rashi's childcare and staff made the transition remarkably smooth. The environment, the care, the activities, the food, the parties—everything was exceptional. Their unique ability to provide homely care while imparting early values is unparalleled.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Rashi's childcare, where our child has created beautiful memories and received the utmost care from such amazing people. I highly recommend her services!

I used to work with Rashi as her staff. So I can recommend her place as a worker and also as a parent.
Rashi treated me very proffesionally and at the same time friendly. I loved how she respected me, my time, my family and always was able to find the way to help me if I needed it.
Rashi provides learning, trainings to all the staff and has regular meetings.
As a parent and a worker, I've noticed the excellent Rashi's knowledge in EYFS, understanding kids and founding a unique way to each child.
At Rashi's place children have:
- the place for safe physical activities as inside and outside;
- lot's of different toys to develop and play;
- planned activities;
- celebrations;
- friends;
- safeguarding;
- loving and knowledgable staff.
Additionally, Rashi provides pick up and drop off service, regular feedbacks , pictures.

Rashi and her team are exceptional. They wove love and care in nurturing my little one and I could see her flourishing in her time there and for that I’m eternally grateful to the team. Their gentle touch and unwavering dedication has not only provided a safe haven but also fostered my daughter’s growth by instilling a sense of trust and joy in her journey. Special shout out to the team for hosting wonderful birthday celebrations and other festivities, they really put a lot of time and effort to make it a memorable experience for the children.
Without reservation, I would highly recommend Rashi’s exemplary services to any discerning parent seeking the highest standard of childcare.

The team headed by Ms. Rashi is nothing short of pure magic. Lovely atmosphere, discipline where it’s needed, care and learning in abundance and happy children is all I have seen since my 2 year and 4 months caterpillar started at Rashi’s and bloomed into a butterfly at 3.
Cant thank her enough for easing the settling in and the dedication and perseverance of the entire team.
Would recommend her hands down.

My two kids, now two and 4 have been attending Rashi’s child care for just under a year. Rashi & her staffs have really contributed well to my children’s learning. The children do all sorts of indoors & outdoors activities. My kids have learnt so much, it’s unbelievable. The learning is focused, they have monthly learning themes, my kids have homework & I can tell the staff take time to give one to one child centred learning much better than nursery setting can provide.
My children enjoy going to Rashi’s, sometimes when they are at home, they ask me to take them to Rashi’s lol. They love playing & learning there & feel free. Both my kids have celebrated their birthdays on separate occasions & the team did a great job to celebrate my children & make them feel extra special. My children have grown a lot more confident, speech & language has improved. Overall, as a parent I would recommend. I feel at peace when I drop my kids off & enjoy the daily images, videos & learning we get sent about the children’s activity.

Rashi is an absolute star and a great human being. I was in need of an urgent childminder as our childminder had to take some time off on urgent basis. Not only Rashi stepped in to help us, she made our son so comfortable in her settings.
Rashi is not a one person army hence the childcare is more reliable. They do lots of activities with the children to keep them entertained and also to gain more and more knowledge. Right balanced diet food is served to children and Rashi sends you weekly menu so you know in advance.
The best thing is the photos and videos that they send to you on daily basis to see your child's activities are commendable.
Overall, I am very pleased with Rashi and would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Rashi’s Childminding to anyone looking for top quality, honest &
reliable childminding!
Throughout my daughter’s tender years, she was nurtured by Rashi & her staff who showered her with the much-needed caring/supportive/fun home-from-home environment.
I continue to be grateful for Rashi’s genuine & robust backing (especially during the challenging COVID phase) that was tailored towards my daughter’s Personal/Social/Emotional developmental needs; thereby providing my daughter with the fundamental morales to flourish in her ongoing school set-up!

We can’t thank enough to Rashi and team. We were very anxious while sending our daughter to childcare as she never stayed away from us even for a few hours(thanks to Corona) . But it wasn’t that difficult for Rashi to handle our over pampered family attached daughter. She magically made her comfortable and within a couple of days our daughter started enjoying Rashi’s place.
Rashi treats the kids as her own and that makes the difference , one can feel her love and warmth towards the kids if around for a few minutes. We appreciate and thank every photos and videos that she sent across.
Rashi and team also cares about the nutritious food that kids eat throughout the day.. she makes sure kids eat fruits and vegetables also freshly cooked meals. Our daughter who is otherwise a picky eater , eats all nutritious food at Rashi’s place.
Also can’t appreciate enough for the fun filled educational activities they do through out the day. They also engage kids in action songs, themes for the month, dance , story telling , painting , outdoor games ,exploring nature and many more.
We thank her for the way she supported us with any kind of concerns about our daughter / her routine. We are happy that we chosen Rashi and her team.
We are extremely sad that we had to move from the area and the one thing that we miss badly is her nest for our daughter. And we will definitely have to visit her place again as our daughter miss the entire team and her friends there.

What could be more satisfying than seeing your child who wakes up joyful and excited in the morning, just to get ready to go to his loving childminder's place i.e to meet RASHI.
My son started Rashi's setting in Feb 2022 and he quickly got comfortable at Rashi's place from day 1. Rashi was so good at making a quick bond with my son, understanding him and his needs.
My son misses her at weekends too. All these factors show his high comfort level with her and her team.
She is like a second mother to him. She always listens to our concerns and requests patiently and takes those into consideration. I have observed a lot of positive improvements and development in my son and the credit goes to Rashi.
She is a genuinely good person and my son is safe under her umbrella and so we (parents) can go to our work without worrying about him.
I strongly recommend Rashi's setting to every parent who is looking for a homely environment where their child will get all pure love, a pool of engaging activities to perform and learn through it, well-trained staff to take care of their kids, and timely support from everyone at the setting.

My son has been going to Rashi for 3 years! She is fantastic and her care is outstanding. The best part of her care is tailored pastoral care. She follows amazing curriculum with kids that is aligned with EYFS and combination of indoor and outdoor activities. We were aiming for private pre school admission so she ensured my son is well prepared for various assessment day and confident. She ensured my son have certain time dedicated to writing and reading. By the time my son was 4.5 he could do additions, subtraction, writing and reading. Due to Rashi’s efforts he was well ahead of national curriculum and easily got admission in the prep school . She provided home made fresh cooked food to kids which is highly nutritious. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

I have been fortunate to find a caring and supportive childminder in Rashi.
Over the years she has looked after both of my boys, the youngest since the he was 7 months, and they have developed a lovely close bond with Rashi. They thrived under the daily routines she has in place as well as the way she makes learning fun.
The structure Rashi gives from the moment I dropped off my sons to the moment I pick them up they fully benefitted from and it is wonderful seeing my second son going to Rashi as a baby and now, in July 2022, leaving to go to reception as a confident, independent and happy child.
Rashi is very hard working. The lessons she prepares and teaches are fun. Even teaching the children to say words and simple sentences in different languages was loved by my son. She shares resources with parents so we know what our children are learning, enabling me to continue working on his learning and understanding at home. Rashi shares pictures and videos of learning and playing activities; I love seeing and watching what my son has been up to.
Breakfast, lunch and snacks prepared daily are all fresh and loved by the children. So much so that one of my sons prefer Rashi's cooking to mine. But she has managed to get him eating fruits and vegetables so I am not complaining.
As a parent I found it easy to talk with Rashi especially when concerns or issues came up, nothing was too big or small to discuss. Rashi is always patient and willing to work with me to support my children's development and I am so grateful for her help, support and friendship over the years.
My sons and I will miss her dearly. Thank you Rashi

Rashi and her team have made our son feel so welcomed and loved. He started when he was about 1.5 years old and has never cried or not wanted to go to Rashis. They’ve helped him so much with his speech and social skills.
I’ve never had to worry about my son knowing he was with Rashi and her team as I knew they were taking excellent care of him and he was having an amazing time there.
Straight away I noticed he was picking up and learning things that was the theme of the month. Rashi would keep us updated on everything they were learning.
Our son loved the children there as well as all of the staff. I used to be very reassured that he was eating good home cooked food which actually expanded his taste buds to different foods.
Rashi and her team would take the kids out regularly to the park which my son really enjoyed.
They also have a soft play room which our son absolutely loved to go burn all his energy!
At the end of the day, we would get updates on the day and I was generally pleased with my sons progression. We would get regular daily updates through pictures and videos also which used to make me smile whilst at work.
Was extremely sad to leave as we had to move to a different area as it’s difficult to find someone else we could trust so well and to find someone who made our child feel so comfortable and loved.
We wish Rashi and her team all the best! Thank you for a wonderful service.

Our daughter attended Rashi's childcare for roughly one year between the ages of one and two years old. In that time, she has made tremendous progress, learning about the world around her (numbers, letters, animals etc), developing her emotional intelligence and social skills and even expanding her cultural horizons. It became clear quite quickly that our daughter enjoyed Rashi's setting and enjoyed her activities, regularly bringing home new ideas (new songs/ dances, yoga moves, counting in Spanish). She also became very fond of the other children and developed some deep connections to her peers.
Rashi is clearly invested in the wellbeing of the children and gives time to parents to address any concerns and works in tandem with the parents. Our daughter proved somewhat slow in her initial speech development, and Rashi worked with her to help bring her to speed. Together, we have all witnessed tremendous progress on that front.
Apart from her direct engagement with parents with respect to individual needs, Rashi provides a balanced and engaged setting - one marked by a love of music, dance and culture. Rashi creates monthly themes for the children and encourages parents to explore those themes with their children during time at home. Those themes are wonderful opportunities for children to learn more about the wider world around them and discover new topics of interest.
Beyond this, Rashi has access to a garden where the children can enjoy outdoor time but also takes them on longer day-trips further afield and regularly provides photo and video updates. Rashi provides refreshed weekly menus of home-cooked meals for the kids, which my daughter loved. Rashi also makes extra efforts to organize summer/ xmas parties for the children and their parents - a touching social reference point in which even older children come back to see her. My daughter was very attached to Rashi and to her friends, and I'm sure we will visit in the future as well.
Lastly, I would add that Rashi's team is very special - her assistants are kind and sensitive and deserve their own praise. Together, the team create a warm and nurturing environment for which I was extremely grateful.

Rashi and her staff have a wonderful way with the children. They are all very welcoming and kind and their great attitude made it so easy for our sons to settle. Rashi's home is a perfect setting for kids, she has separate rooms dedicated to different activities, access to outdoor space and they often go out on walks and to the park.
My boys loved the variety of the food, her home cooked food is perfect for children.
They did lots of singing, dancing, experiments with colours and paint and my boys were very happy to go there to play and spend time with their friends.It was fantastic to receive photos and videos of the the activities they had done which was shared individually with each parent.
Rashi and her team also make time to recognise birthdays and several cultural celebrations.
I would highly recommend Rashi and her staff to other parents.

Rashi has looked after our son 3 days a week for over 2 years and we have been very happy with all aspects of her care.
Rashi is always happy, calm and very patient. She has helped our son develop through various sensory, arts, crafts and seasonal activities. We love the mix of activities and days out that Rashi arranges for the children eg the farm, zoo, parks etc but with the care of a home setting. They do something everyday and our son always comes home with plenty to say! The children do singing, dancing, yoga, reading, nursery rhymes and one-on-one learning; my son vocab, counting has come on so well. Nutrition wise, very importantly, the variation, quantity and quality is perfect.
Without doubt the best start to your child’s early years life you could wish for.

My child attended Rashi's childminding service in 2019 aged 3 for approximately 6 months. Within this period Rashi very efficiently identified additional needs for my child. She professionally discussed this with me and confirmed my concerns that my child may be on the ASD spectrum. This was a previous concern of mine that the previous nursery did not raise or identify despite my concerns as my child was there for 18 months and we had to leave the setting due to poor transition.
Rashi very quickly contacted the SEND team and linked us in by supporting, attending with us & making the introductions. By doing this we were able to access the right support for our child and are to this day very grateful that Rashi was there through her very many years of experience able to identify and support us. She is very knowledgeable and has a good understanding of children with ASD traits and we would highly recommend her for children of all abilities.

I came to know of Rashi through neighbors who were all saying how great she is. Last March, I asked Rashi to help prepare my daughter for reception. My daughter had social anxiety according to a previous nursery. After staying with Rashi for a brief 5 months, I'm very happy to say that my daughter had a good start in reception. She has become very sociable (she can play with any kid she meets), she is excited to go to school every day, she is listens and follows instructions from other adults like her football coaches/school teachers. She has also become more independent. I am so proud and happy of the milestones that my daughter has accomplished. Much of it is because of the care and guidance from Rashi and her team. Rashi knew how to handle my daughter's situation - she didn't rush her at all. Rashi gradually built the trust - in the beginning, my daughter would only see Rashi for a few hours/days per week until it became 5 days per week. My daughter had so much fun and learned so much in Rashi's setting. Rashi prepared lot of activities - arts, outdoor play, baking etc. We will be eternally grateful for the all love and support that Rashi and her team has given our daughter. We feel very lucky to have Rashi care for our daughter. It is with tears that we say good bye to Rashi and we deeply regret not sending our daughter sooner. For any parent considering Rashi, please do not hesitate. We haven't met anymore more kind, caring, compassionate and capable as her.

I was so anxious going back to work and putting my 10 month old into child care.
Also, because of the nature of my job, I only get given my contract dates/location a week or so ahead of time. I decided that I wouldn't take the job if I didn't get a good feeling about childcare.
I reached out to Rashi and she was so accommodating and understanding.
Both her and Kamaljit were just wonderful with him. They sent me pictures/videos frequently so I could have peace of mind at work that he was happy, playing with other children (his first time doing so), and how his confidence was growing. Rashi was flexible with my working times, which I was so grateful for as I can't always conform to normal office times.
My son's development came on so much so quickly in the time he was there. I was so scared about what/how to feed him, and with Rashi, he began to eat a wide variety of foods safely, and now his appetite is huge!
After just over a week, he stopped being upset about me leaving him, and would happily lean in for Rashi or Kamaljit to pick him up.
It was with a heavy heart that our time with Rashi came to and end, but without a doubt, if/when my work takes me back to that area, I will be absolutely giving Rashi a call. I wish he could have stayed throughout all of his baby/toddler days as he ended up having so much fun and so many wonderful experiences and activities.

My son went to Rashi's childcare full time for more than a year and he absolutely loved it. The care her team shows with the emphasis on learnings and exploration is unparalleled in the area. We have sent our child to alphabet in waterside park and bright horizons in east India and he could not settle there. Finally he got settled in with Rashi and Kamaljit within a week. She has tonnes of experience and can settle the child within minutes. Another advantages of her care is having kids of all ages in the same setup unlike the split which traditional nurseries has. Due to this, younger kids learn more from older kids and older kids build empathy and care towards younger ones. She takes request on working on areas where child needs help and gives good advice to parents to work on areas where kid is good. Food is healthy and child is taught to eat and finish his own food from very young age. Overally highly recommend her.

My son has been with Rashi since he was 4 months old and I had go back to work. From the first time I met Rashi I was taken with her warmth, kindness, authenticity, experience, knowledge and professionalism. She has an entire room set up for soft play and sensory tasks. There is another room set up for free play, with lots of toys, books, activities and space to move. Outside there is a big lawn also full of space to run around and play, and nearby is a park. They make beautiful homemade lunches fresh every day. During the 12 months my son has been there, he has thrived. He LOVES going to Rashi's and spending time with her, Kamaljit (her assistant), Raul (her son) and the other children, the place has a wonderful family feel to it. Rashi has also been a big support to me. As a first-time single Mum, she has shared tips with me when I've asked and we coordinate naps and responses between her place and mine so my son gets consistency and we get the best out of him. I love and appreciate the photos and videos she sends me of their activities during the day, you can see how much fun and joy they have. When I moved recently, my number one priority was staying in the area so I could keep my son at Rashi's – she is his second Mama! I have every intention of my son staying with Rashi and Kamaljit and thank my lucky stars that I found them!
Thank you Rashi and Kamaljit

Rashi and her Team have been looking after our girls for over a year and we have been very pleased and happy with what they have done to make our children feel welcome and stay focused. The children have learned so many educational and fun activities and were always given hot, fresh meals during Winter, particularly when children need good nutrition most.
We interviewed so many childminders but Rashi was the most focused and likeable person and has been very good with the girls focusing her efforts on the girls settling issues at the beginning which didn't last long, we can't thank Rashi enough.

As parents for a lovely 3-year-old that attends Rashi settling, we would, with no reservations, recommend Rashi’s service.
After a negative experience with a previous childminder I contacted Rashi and was immediately warm and welcoming inviting me to see her settling. I was so impressed with the way she has dedicated her house and created a safe environment for the kids. She has a soft play area that the kids love playing and a bigger room with all kind of toys. Also, she is using her back garden and she has toys there too for when it is nice outside.
She keeps in contact with us throughout the day, sending videos and photos to show us all the amazing activities and visits the children do. For us, Rashi’s settling is the safest, warmest and happiest environment a child can have.
Along with the day to day activities, she is always doing special things around the holiday for kids/parents. We had such a great Christmas Party in 2019, we created so many memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you, our amazing Rashi 😊
Only God knows how much I wanted her settling for our daughter and I am so grateful that she accepted to help us and be there for us all the time. If we ever had a concern about our daughter (potty training, tantrums, bottle etc) Rashi and her team are all there to assist, work with us and ultimately foster love, knowledge and kindness in our daughter.
Rashi is easily the most kind, loving individuals, patient, organized and very knowledgeable especially when it comes to childcare.
Our daughter loves her so much. We all do!
Thank you!

We've been using Rashi's childminding service for years, our (now) 4 year old daughter was in full-time care for 2 years and now that she's started school we're continuing to use Rashi for after-school care. While searching the Royal Docks area we met with several childminders but Rashi impressed us with her personality, certifications and her house which is entirely organised for kids to have a safe and enjoyable time. We've never had a single issue with the service over the years, pickups and dropoffs too have been flawless and Rashi very flexible with our requirements - and the activities, day trips, parties all keep the little ones very happy. If you need someone you can trust, and a place where your child will be excited to spend their days, this is a great choice.

Our daughter was a premature baby and had a slight delayed development. We had initially sent her to a popular nursery not far away, but things didn't work out over there. She needed more of a one-to-one care. After searching through some childminder profiles on childcare.co.uk we decided to go with Rashi Arora. It proved to be right decision for our little one.
Our daughter was with Rashi from the ages of 22 months to around 5 years. She had just about started walking.
At Rashi's they read story books, play games, sing songs and do all sorts different activities that the children develop.
For a period of time, our little one had a Hickman line inserted in her little neck. This was, of course an added responsibility for Rashi and a cause for concern for us parents (as things can go wrong, with the Hickman line). However, Rashi was very open-minded and positive at the prospect and had the appropriate Hickman line care training given by my child's local community nurses.
Rashi treats our child like one of her own and we certainly felt more relaxed about sending the little one to Rashi, than to old nursery . At one point Rashi actually made some improvements to the setting and layout of the play areas even though I thought it was nice before! But this shows that Rashi is always thinking about how to provide the best care for the children and that's only a good thing!
At Rashi's, over the months and years we saw our daughter slowly getting more talkative, independent and generally more confident. She only left when she was ready for school and we are grateful to have found Rashi.

I cannot say enough good things about Rash’s child care. I changed 3 very popular, renowned nurseries in the area (Bright horizons, Alphabet House and Golden Cradle) before my daughter settled with Rashi and her staff. Rashi’s pastoral care is the best in class - my daughter absolutely adores the staff. Bringing her back home from nursery would take me good 20 mins each day because she didn’t want to leave the setting. One year in to Rashi’s care she developed as a confident, socially and emotionally strong toddler that would easily settle in to a new learning environment. She’s made it through the assessment to all of top London’s Independent schools we applied to. I believe this is entirely down to Rashi’s efforts. In addition the food at her setting is always prepared fresh with high nutrition value, her setting is immaculately clean (particularly the toilets are squeaky clean).
The staff would also indulge my daughter with lovely hairdos (which I have no talent for) and she loved showing them off to me. There are many such personal intangible touches that made the little ones day there beautiful. I couldn’t recommend Rashi enough - she is genuine (not just a marketing gimmick like others) and cares deeply about the wellbeing and happiness of children under her care. Unlike other nurseries she does not shirk away from her job if the child has a little sniffle or a cough, where I’ve seen other nurseries turn them away. Over all 12 on 10 to Rashi and team! They’re the best in the area.

I am so thankful to have Rashi in my life. she has been a God sent!... I value and respect Rashi so much! she is warm, extremely caring and compassionate individual who has great passion children. Her service is a reflection of the above qualities. My children look forward to Rashi's setting as they have so much fun in and out of the setting.
My children love her so much and we do monthly theme as we do work around the house to help children learn. My children come home with great activities materials they made with Rashi which afterwards I display around the house to celebrate their achievements. Rashi takes my children to the local children centre, park and farm which the children adore.
Rashi’s setting provides us with a personalised care which supports my children’s developments and Rashi works closely with me to provide me with the day to day feedback on my children’s development. I receive formal report on my children’s development also Rashi sends me pictures of my children during the setting with makes my day and I appreciate Rashi takes the time out of her busy day send us this heart warmed pictures. Thank you Rashi!!!!
Rashi is my children's second mum. We thank you and love you Rashi.... thank you!!!!

I am very happy with the care, nurturing and development that Rashi and her support team - Kamaljit and Satkaar provide to my two year old. It's very easy to see that the ladies here care for the children from their heart. They genuinely love the babies in their care.
My child here is cocooned in love and warmth. I feel absolutely no guilt in leaving her with Rashi, Kamaljit and Satkaar and going to work as I know my daughter adores them and enjoys her day here.

I know it may sound crazy but, i had to return to work/ school 5months after giving birth, so i went in search of a capable hands. My instinct said "go towards your tribe, but the few i met didnt meet my standard. Time was ticking fast and a lady gave me Rashi's number. I was so sceptical about it but, i decided to give it a go. I went in with my daughter to see Rashi and ... omg!!! Her house was so neat, her smile was so warm and welcoming, she carried my daughter as a mother should. After the discussion, i reached out for my daughter but she refused to follow me. Christal kept her head on Rashi's shoulder and they bonded instantly. That!!!! was the assurance i needed. Before u knw it, she took on my 3kids for 2years.
Rashi, is very special, she understands every mother's needs, she is can adjust to meet yr needs, the kids love her and Kamagie. She scolds me for not started my baby on solids, infact she taught my baby her independence. Even when am upset, Rashi knows how to control the situation and at the end of the day, i feel so bad. I will miss you and your usual words "Tell me Imma, how can i help ..." and she will find a solution.
If not for my relocation, i would still be with Rashi and Kamagie. My kids still sometimes call their new childminder "Rashi" . Lol... . I will recommend her to any body.

I’m extremely happy with the care that Rashi has provided for my daughter Hannah (18 months) and I feel so lucky to have found her.
Rashi has been childminding my daughter since September 2017.She looks after her 2-3 days a week. I have been extremely happy with the care my daughter has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Rashi’s care. Rashi’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know my daughter has recently enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the animal farm.
Rashi and her amazing asistant Calamgie are the best. They are making parties such as Christmas, Halloween, birthday etc, which is absolutely beautiful and the kids are really enjoying them.
She provides everyday fresh cooked food and a lot of fresh fruits, yoghurts for snacks.
My daughter always going with smile in her face in the morning.
I would absolutely recommend Rashi as a great and trustworthy childminder; any little one would be lucky to have her!

We are using Rashi’s services since my daughter was a year old. To start with my daughter never got settled with anyone and also it took her sometime to settle in with Rashi but the progress was commendable! when i look at her now, it amazes me! She is such a happy girl and look forward to go to Rashi’s place. She is now 2.5yrs old and in the last 1.5yr made a remarkable progress both socially and academically! She comes home and discuss what she has done throughout the day which proves that the kids always have a super busy day at her place..
Rashi has a structured day at her setting which helps the kids grow and learn new things each day. She cooks fresh food for the kids and keeps me updated with my daughters daily activities.
I never thought my daughter will be this happy with any other person. Expecting my second child and no doubt Rashi is our only choice for the childcare.
Rashi, Thank you for all the hard-work you and Kamaljeet do everyday and i wish you both a very best for the coming years!

Rashi took care of my son since he was 1year old. He settled very quickly and he used to love to go there. Rashi is very organised and also flexible. She provides various activities indoor and outdoor and my boy learned how to play nicely with other children. I would recommend this childminder to anyone.

3 months ago I moved to a new home and registered my 3.5 year old son to a new nursery, apparently a famous one. My son didn't settle for over a month and every day he cried.. it was a nightmare, my son never felt welcomed. Someone recommended Rashi and that's the best thing happened to us. My son settled within 3 days with Rashi and since then i have never had a problem. He loves Rashi and Kamaljeet (her support). Both are very friendly and extremely caring. Its like a second home to my son. She works very hard and gives a lot of 1:1 attention. They also have fresh home food with is great value add. Highly recommend her.

We needed a childminder in an emergency situation as my son's childminder was away for 2 weeks. We saw Rashi's profile on childcare and decided we will go and have a look despite the 0.5 hour journey from our place. Here are my honest reviews.
As a person: Rashi is very friendly and approachable. The minute you see her she puts you at ease and you feel that yes, my child is safe in her hands. She has an excellent help Kamaljeet who is equally cheerful. Rashi is very active and probably a good fit for the job she has to do. She involves the kids in activities, song and dance which keeps them occupied. She offers good home cooked food as well as a pick and drop service.
The place: Extremely spick and span. Cleanliness is the key. Toys are well organised and the entire area is nicely maintained.
Activities: As a parent you would panic the first few days you leave your kid around. To put you at ease, Rashi sends timely updates (photos and videos) of your child to show how well your child is coping.
All in all she was a Godsend for us when he had no option but to return to work and drop our son in safe hands.
Thanks Rashi. Keep up the great work. Ever in debt to your excellent service.

My son never settled with his previous childminder despite going there over a year. In desperation I spoke to a friend who recommended Rashi to me. Within 3 months my son had settled with Rashi. She is a kind, friendly and patient person, now my son loves going to Rashi all the time, he enjoys the activities she arranges. I have no worries when my son is there. Rashi communicates with us, whether theres a problem or to share pictures of activities my son has participated in. I am so glad that Rashi was recommended to me and I would recommend her to anyone who asks me if I know of a great childminder.

We do not look at Rashi as our childminder - she is definitely family to us. I left my 9 month old son with Rashi to go back to work and today my son is almost 2years old and such a happy boy! I owe it all to Rashi and he r assistant Kamaljeet who have given the kind of love my son would have received only from family members, have been the best people i have found on the internet through this website. What I like best about Rashi's approach is that she provides a family and homely environment to kids who come to her, and yet the days are very structured with a lot of emphasis on playing together, performing together, doing tasks together, helping one and another and a lot of outdoor activities (the closest Park to her house is just a 3min walk).
My son today is a happy and social boy largely because of the way Rashi has brought him up and I would not have it any other way.
I should also mention Rashi's sons who take active interest in helping their mum out by playing with the kids and helping around in general which shows the kind of positive upbringing they have had. Everyone in that house is actively trying to make it a better experience for the kids who come and spend their days with them.
I would highly recommend her services.

Rashi is very well organised, professional, flexible and child friendly. My son was not settling in the nursery and had to leave my job then I met Rashi in a community center and saw how she is handling kids around then approached her after few months and she really helped me to settle my son slowly in 2 months and he is really happy to go her every morning.
Her food is delicious and very famous among kids, my son eats everything with her rather than me.
I take this opportunity to thank her and really helped me to settle my son so easily without any problem.
Unfortunately we had to leave from this current address so have to leave Rashi, my son will def miss Rashi and her sons, as he plays a lot with her sons too.
She is very much does all the activities and takes my son to the children's center for the sing a long and other activities and send me pics on my WhatsApp every single day and really quick in response or anything.
I strongly recommend Rashi.
Thanks,
Sailaja

Rashi is an outstanding child-minder. I found her to be professional, honest, open, reliable, dependable, organized, loving and kind to my son. Her home was just like home to my son. He has been going to her since he was 1year and is very comfortable even with her two boys.
She took the time to understand my son’s personality/needs and was very flexible with him. She teaches the children good behavior. She handles all negative behavior very well and in turn teaches me how to manage negative behavior positively as well.
She gives freshly made home cooked food to the kids and is very flexible to adjust diet as per my son’s needs. She took very special care of my son especially when he was recovering from being sick or showed signs of cold etc.
Rashi does many activities with the children from singing songs, dancing to playing around in the garden etc. She is very active and loves to take kids out to various kids clubs in the local area.
As a new parent Rashi eased all my concerns and insecurities and am very grateful for all the time she spent with me in helping me in all situations. Her experience as a child-minder and mother was very evident and all her advice was very helpful.
My son looked forward to going to her and now when we have moved house he really loves her and misses her.
My child's happiness is my happiness and I would highly recommend Rashi as child-minder and would not hesitate to leave my child with her anytime
