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.
