Our children (now 3 and 6) were with Subha for almost 2 years. We joined her setting after a recommendation from a close friend. The children loved Subha from the first moment. She was exceptionally accommodating to two very busy parents and communicated very well with us throughout the day. She is warm, flexible, caring and a genuinly lovely person. We have no hesitation recommending Subha to anyone.
Subha has been my son's childminder for 4 years now and I would recommend her to any parent without hesitation. Subha is one of the most flexible, reliable and supportive childminders you will find, and she tops that off with an innate ability to care for children. Subha's approach to both the parent and the child is open, transparent and collaborative, and will work to support you as what can only be described as a co-parent. Whether you need help with potty training, ironing out eating habits or just generally addressing day to day things - in Subha you will find a partner who will work with you specifically to achieve what is best for your child.
Subha is the most organised woman I have met - she impressed me in the first instance when I met her with preempting any questions I would have and having all the necessary documentation to hand. She maintains regular communication & dialogue, sends lots of pictures, and arranges regular activities for children - trips to the parks, library, days out for a movie or play area, Halloween parties etc. Her manners are impeccable and she passes that on to the children - all the children in her care are polite and I can safely say each child will bring home a valentine's card, mothers/fathers' day card. She operates a safe, clean and inclusive environment, where diversity is celebrated. She has extensive space for the children (an additional building at the back of her house where the children can relax and a garden), an ample supply of toys, and she is extremely clean. My son always enjoys his meals at Subha's and often bakes little treaties to bring home.
Subha has been an immense and consistent source of support over the past 4 years - she is available to support when I have unexpected emergencies at work and has looked after my boy overnight as well. My son trusts Subha immensely and is happy in her environment - some of his best friends were friendships he found at Subha's. There is little more I can say here other than that over the past four years, Subha has proved to be so much more than a just a childminder.
We have been with Subha for more than two years and what a lovely experience we have had and we still have. She looks after my daughter Léonie as if she is one of her own. The love and care she receives is literally invaluable. Léonie is always well fed, clean and happy. She also has made so many friends and is thoroughly enjoying herself.
She has learnt so much since being with Subha. She has been nurturing her to become a more confident little girl and specially more independent.
Subha has a range of toys, books and a lot of space in her home. We will always be seduced by her nursery area, specially built and dedicated to be a hub for for the little ones.
She maintains a good level of communication with me, texts, photos and discussions when dropping off/collecting my daughter which I appreciate.
You can rest assured that Subha will detect any anomalies with your child and inform you as soon as she has noticed it. This is a testimony to her meticulous and uncompromising approach to your child safety as she has been doing with ours.
Subha is a warm, loving, fun and a very experienced childminder and my daughter adores her and enjoys time spent with her.
Léonie will very often talk us about Subha in a light that is only reminiscent of a close family member. We are absolutely at peace when Léonie is with Subha.
She’s very flexible and understanding, which helps tremendously! She has made being a working parent much less stressful.
I always know and feel that with Subha, she is at home. I highly recommend Subha, she is always happy, loving and caring and a real joy for all of the children and parents that come to her. At the weekend, Léonie often demands to be dropped off st Subha’s. Needless to go into the amount of explaining and negotiating.
That’s why in practice of what we preach, Subha will look after our second child who is on the way.
Thank you Subha.

I’ve been with Subha for just over a year now, I was returning to work when my son was just 5 ½ months old so this was a very stressful time for me. I was also breastfeeding at the time so the bond I have with my son was incredibly close and I wanted to make sure he would continue to feel close to someone and trust them.
I had no idea what to expect with settling in session as this is my first child, but wow Subha made me feel very comfortable and reassured me throughout the sessions. Once you meet Subha you can tell she’s a fantastic mother just has the natural motherly touch and very affectionate.
Subha has never take a day sick and if holiday is taken you know well in advance, I’ve never had any issues Subha has been so reliable I’ve never had to worry in this department.
My son is growing so well and becoming such a smart boy with great manners and I can also thank Subha for this, working well together to ensure we get the best results and any teething problems we approach in the development areas we’re also able to work together to resolve this. This is really important for me as I want the best for my Son (I’m sure everyone does) and I want him to be brought up well with good manners and show respect.
Subha always has a great variety of outdoor and indoor activities for the children, it’s lovely to get pictures on almost a daily basis to see what they’ve been up to. (helps when you’re having a hard day, really brightens up the day) She has a separate building at the back of her garden which is essentially a self-contained nursery complete with toilet facilities for the children.
I’ve also used Subha to look after my son overnight on a weekend and never had any worries.
My son absolutely adores Subha and is so comfortable with her, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her enough she is absolutely amazing, so friendly and always smiling and very flexible.
I’m so happy I have met someone like Subha more than a child minder to me she’s just like family.
Thank you Subha xxxx
We used Subha's setting for after school and occasional school holidays care for two years. My son absolutely loved staying with her, settled in very quickly and established a very special personal relationship with her.
Subha has an excellent balance of being warm, loving and firm when needed, which I valued a lot having an active and mischievous boy! She has been very (very!) reliable, flexible and responsive. Also always so friendly, calm and composed.
We have been very happy with her care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others!
My two children (a boy and a girl) have been with Subha for 3 wonderful and happy years and I would recommend her to anybody without hesitation.
My little boy started when he was a year old and my daughter when she was 3.
The moment I met Subha, i just knew I'd found the right person to look after my kids. She is warm and loving and such a genuine person. I never worried that she was someone different when the parents weren't around! My kids felt at home at all times - I've lost track of the times I'd drop them off in the morning, they'd go straight in and not even look back to say goodbye.
Subha's setting is absolutely brilliant - plenty to do for boys and girls, loads of space to run around, inside and out. It's spotlessly clean and safe. When my eldest started homework, Subha was such a life-saver. She was always happy to sit with her to do reading, english, maths, spelling whatever it was that day so that we didn't have to do it at 7pm at night when we're all exhausted.
When my youngest started potty training, Subha was a great help in that department too.
Subha is loving but she's also firm about manners and good behaviour, especially at the table for mealtimes. My kids actually started thanking me for meals on the weekends. Nice!
She's also 100% reliable. In fact, I need to ask her what vitamins she's on because she has never taken even one sick day in all the time I've known her!
I would not hesitate to recommend Subha to anybody, whatever the age or stage of your child. She's a gem - a realist, totally approachable, so flexible, just a really good person to have in your life.
From my initial meeting with Subha I was very impressed with her and her setting. She was very friendly, professional and organised and able to provide all relevant documentation and answer all my questions confidently. She has a separate building at the back of her garden which is essentially a self contained nursery complete with toilet facilities for the children. She looked after my son Kieran for almost a year one day a week (as his nursery were unable to accommodate an additional day when I changed my hours) until he started full-time school in September 2016. I never had any concerns regarding his care with her and he enjoyed his time there. I like that she was very personable and sent me photos on Whatsapp of Kieran enjoying his day, which was very nice and reassuring. She always included plenty of outdoor play whether that was in the garden at her house or on trips to local parks. She provided all meals and snacks during the day so there was no need to prepare food in advance. She also has an Assistant who works for her on busier days. She is very hard-working and hardly takes any time off even during school holidays. I would highly recommend Subha to any parents looking for an excellent childminder in the Morden area.
I will definitely recommend Subha as a childminder. My son has been with Subha since he was about 1 year and 3 months. I knew things were going to work out as my son was happier here almost immediately and sometimes did not want to leave when we came for pick up. Huge contrast to his old nursery where he looked sad at pick up time. Subha was warm, loving and affectionate with him and that played a huge role in our decision to stay with her. He's 4 now and he adores Subha and her family. You can trust that your child is in excellent care at Subha's home as it's very spacious and the kids love to play in the garden. She keeps it spotless! It's very conveniently located to schools and parks etc. My son has made so many cherished friendships at Subha's. They are all very polite and well behaved and this is defnite testament to the groundings of discipline and good manners that Subha maintains with the kids. The wide ranging age group of the kids really helped my son as he doesn't currently have brothers and sisters so they are his family! He's more confident and self assured and I am sure the interactions with the kids has helped with this.
Subha is one of the most dedicated and flexible childminders out there! She rarely goes on holiday (although we have teased her that she should as it is well deserved !). We've used her for evening and weekend services and on the odd occasion she's been there for us for last minute emergency calls too.
She is very straightforward and direct which we like and this has helped in our relationship to address any issue's head on.
Sadly my son will be moving on to a scool that's not convenient for drop off's and pickups for Subha but we will still be using her services ad hoc for half terms etc. So we will be around for a while !
Subha has looked after our little girl since she was 10 months till now, at 4 years, and quite honestly we could not have asked for a more competent, kind and loving carer for our child. If you meet her, you will instantly feel at home and confident in her abilities - and if you meet the kids she looks after, you will also see how lovely, well-rounded, polite and well brought up they are, which is in no small part due to Subha's care.
She is also possibly the most flexible, hard-working and reliable person ever, rarely if ever taking holidays and able to help with emergent childcare needs in almost every instance.
We are so sad to have to leave as our daughter starts a new school, but are beyond grateful for everything she has done for us, and how much she has become part of our family. Meggy misses you everyday!! Thank you so much for everything.

My daughter first started going to Subha from 1years old, I spent a lot of time looking around and visiting different childcare providers but when I met Subha I really liked her and had a good feeling. It was the right choice as my daughter settled in immediately and was very happy.
Over the last 3 years she has grown so much in Subah's care and has made little friends that she will keep forever.
I cannot recommend her enough! We will miss Subha.
