My name is Sophie and my son Joshua is now 15 months old. He has been with Priya since he was 9 months old.
As a first time Mum I was nervous about choosing a child minder and leaving my son with someone I didn't know. But from the moment I met her I felt I had made the right choice. Priya and her home made my son welcome from the moment we met and I had no concerns with leaving my son in her care at all.
Joshua settled in much easier than I expected and to my son it was and is a home away from home.

She has a vast amount of experience in childcare and she is always up to date on training in childcare, health and safety etc. She is also always signing up for new courses that will increase her training and knowledge.

There are always a wide range of activities for my son to do including; sand and water play, toys, painting and drawing. She also has a slide and other activities for him to do in the garden. She often takes Joshua to children's centres, play centres and the park which he loves. She even sends me pictures and videos sometimes of my son playing and generally having a great time.

Priya completes a diary detailing every part of my sons day and any observations e.g. what he did, what he ate, when he slept. She is always happy to talk about any worries or concerns I may have. We have monthly meetings to discuss my sons progress and development according to EYFS standards. She assesses and plans activities around key developmental milestones for my son.
Due to Priyas teaching and observation I feel my son has progressed so much whilst in her care.

Priya is supportive, understanding, flexible and very easy to talk to.
I am so happy and have no regrets whatsoever in choosing Priya as my sons childminder. I would highly recommend her to other parents.
