Bisantha is an excellent childminder as we have our little boy at her house which is a home away from home for him. Our son asks to go to Bisantha house at the weekend so I think that answers the questions of any doubt that he loves been at Bisantha house . After a very short time he has made a super bond with Bisantha and the other children at her house as Bisantha has created a very welcome home to make the children feel safe and comfortable and very happy. Bisantha we can’t thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts what you have achieved with our son in a very short time. Definitely a superhero to our son . We know when our son is at Bisantha’s house he is safe and very happy which makes us so happy to see his smiling face every day when he gets collected. Thank you so much Bisantha .
My 3.5 year old was in nursery for 6 months before we met Bisantha but he refused to eat at nursery and was picking up every bug. We decided to move him from nursery setting to a childminder in the hope they might encourage our boy to eat, rather than live off breadsticks and yogurts. When we met Bisantha straight away we knew we needed our boy to come to her home setting. Bisantha is so warm caring and kind and my boy is thriving with her tender care, he loves the other children too. On the first day my son ate sausage for the first time, at home he refused everything except yogurts. He lived on this for the past year and a half, yet within a few hours with Bisantha he was eating new foods and continues to eat each day new foods. Now he eats a whole range of foods. We are delighted with how well he is doing. In a matter of a couple of months he’s become so outgoing, chatting non stop and comes out from Bisantha’s house with a big smile on his face. Bisantha is a home from home and we enjoy seeing the photos and videos. Our boy is learning new things each day and he loves singing his new songs he has learned. We are so happy with everything Bisantha is doing for our son. I wish I had found Bisantha sooner.
Bisantha has been looking after our twin boys (2.5 year olds) for almost 6 months now and she has been great. We feel it’s a caring environment where the boys learn a lot plus they spend quality time visiting various playing groups. Despite the fact that the boys can be a challenge to handle at home, miraculously they listen to Bisantha, follow instructions and do their learnings. Would recommend this childminder to anyone.
Bisantha is an amazing lady, looking after my son, she thrive in making each children happy and comfortable. Teaching them new skills each day while ensuring that they are safe. I could not recommend her enough to any parents. She is a second mother to my son who adores her.
Thank you again for everything u do for my son.
My two children aged 4 (almost 5) and 2 (almost 3) have both been attending Bisantha’s setting since I returned to work when they were just over 1 years old. I knew from the day I visited her in her previous setting, and witnessed the interactions and kindness between her and the children she was caring for, that it would be the perfect setting for my children. I was not wrong.
Bisantha and family feel like an extension to my own; they take such good care, consideration and interest in the children and have always engaged them with age appropriate activities and adventures. They have experienced many a day trip to the parks, local library, soft plays and playgroups, and have paid great attention to their development in keeping with the early years curriculum. A lot have time has been spent also engaging my eldest with numerical, reading and writing skills in preparation for school and Bisantha has guided us with supporting his learning at home.
Importantly the children always feel very happy to attend the setting and each day I ask them if they are happy and if they have enjoyed themselves, and they always say yes. They receive lovely nutritious food (such good cooks) and a menu is
Shared with us in a weekly basis. We always receive photos of the children at the end of each day and learn what they have been up too.
I work in the medical profession, and due to the occasional unpredictability of my work, the childminder setting has always been the one which I have found most appropriate for our families needs. Bisantha and family have provided my children with consistency and security over the years, and such I have been able to work knowing my children are happy, safe and being cared for like one of their own. Our family will truly miss them as we relocate out of area.
