Veena is brilliant. My little girl loves her and enjoyed going every day and made new friends. veena is always open for a conversation to discuss requirements and suit parents needs. she has always been very honest about our child situation, daily updates and progress. Veena is caring and loving for all the kids. She has really good space and her own garden where kids can do activities.

Veena has provided childcare services for my son for the past 2 years and we’re so extremely grateful for her!
At the beginning I was departing if I should put my son in a nursery or childminder but Veena was able to provide everything I needed from the very start, from flexible hours, cheap fees and environment my shy son needed.
Her and her family have accepted my son and ensured he was well throughout her care. She has helped me through the nappy/dummy and sleeping in his own cot stage, the fussy eater stage and with her help my son is well prepared for school. I could not recommend Veena enough for you all. Her job makes a huge difference in everyone’s life’s.
Thank you for all the help, care and love you shared throughout the years. Little Marcel will never forget you !

I have Veena looking after my daughter for a year now and I must say she’s been such a lovely childminder. My daughter loves going to her house and Veena always make sure she is occupied with activities and let her eat well. Veena has been flexible with her schedule on many occasions. She is trustworthy, have good sense of humour and very good with children of all ages. I’m really glad to have found her and know that my daughter is in a safe place.

I met Veena through another parent, she couldn’t recommend her enough as she had looked after her children. I took my 1 year old to Veena as i needed to get back to work. I was very apprehensive about taking her as she was a very very clingy little girl. Me and my daughter both had separation anxiety as i’d never left her with anyone else since she was born. But Veena worked her magic and within a few days my daughter was absolutely loving it there. Veena is just soo lovely, so friendly and the children all just absolutely love her. She does soo much with the children. Veena has alot of knowledge on how to care for babies and children. If you are looking for a childminder i would definitely recommend Veena, if i could have given more than 5 stars i would have. The best of the best.

I found Veena at a very difficult time I was going through.
Veena looked aftered my 4 children.
She not only supported me but my children aswell.
My children loved going there it was like going from a home to home. They were so comfortable and Veena being so loving towards my children made it so easy for them to settle in it felt like we’d known her for years.
Highly recommended!!!!!!

Veena is the only person outside family who I can totally trust with my child. She is a very heart warming lady who is absolutely amazing with my 2 yr old daughter. I can honestly say I have nothing to worry about when I go to work as I know she is taken care of lovingly by veena. It is definitely a home from home environment. My child is very comfortable there, at times it sometimes hard to get my girl out from veenas home.
I would recommend veena to anyone who is looking for a childminder, I’m so glad I came across this lovely lady.
Thank u veena xxx

My baby girl was looked after by Veena right up till she started school and shes 18 now and still visitd Verna to this day,my 5 months old will go to veena even though i moved to Potsmouth when i start work in london i've reserved a space for him for next yes because i won't have him going anywhere else.
Veenas home it's home way from home,child minding it's not just a job for Veena,it's priority,Veena has a lot of exprience and knouledge with children,she is part of children safe gaurding board,All i can say for her anu children who goes to Veena is very lucky,Veenas house it's like children's paradise.
