My son started to attend Dilhani’s place over a year ago and I could not find anyone better. Dilhani’s house is a second home for my son and he loves to go there. Dilhani cares for child’s development, education and she is very warm, patient and she gives her heart in 100% to what she does.
Thank you Dilhani for your time and effort xx

My son started going to Dilhani in September and Dilhani has honestly been one of the best decisions we made for my sons childcare. Dilhani has been caring, warm and loving to my son and I couldn’t ask for a better childminder for him. Not only does she provide a calm and safe environment for him, she makes an effort to teach him all the necessities before starting school. He always comes home clean, nothing is ever forgotten and he is always happy to go.
If you are looking for all of the above as well as reliable and trustworthy, Dilhani is for you.
I hope she is in our lives for a long time ❤️

We are very lucky to have found Dilhani for childcare for our 8 month old. As a first time mum I was very nervous about going back to work full time and leaving my little one with someone but Dilhani has made it so easy as I know he is very safe and happy with her. She is fantastic with him and goes above and beyond in every way. She is calm, soft spoken, smiley and approachable - all fantastic qualities for working with children. He is in a great routine with her and she uses her own initiative and keeps me very well updated through photos, videos and a communication book. I couldn't have asked for a better childminder for our little boy. I go to work every day knowing he is in safe hands and having fun. Lovely lady and lovely family!

Dilhani lives in a beautiful quite village . Her place is very clean and tidy, lots of toys . She has a lovely area outside as well. The food is homemade and healthy. She looks very well after my 2 year old and my 5 y.o. loved spending some time with her over half term too. She does different activities with the children: from crafts to baking . She keeps them interested and entertained . The children are in safe hands 🙌

We are so lucky to have found Dilhani, she is wonderful with my two boys.
Dilhani has been so welcoming with each visit and goes above and beyond to make my boys feel at home, she has been super flexible with last minute days for us. I have received regular updates and phots throughout the day.
My children have loved every minute here and can not wait until their next visit

Dilhani has been incredible with my daughter. I really can not recommend her enough. Dilhani has taken her out on day trips, and always sending updates of 1:1 studies, activities, her meals etc. My daughter has come on so much since being in her care.
My daughter is so happy to come home and tell me all about her day telling me all that she has learned and all the fun that has been had.
Dilhani is a breathe of fresh air, she is friendly, caring, kind and understanding. I wouldn’t want my child to be in anyone else’s care.
Thank you Dilhani for being so wonderful.
