Rashi has looked after our son 3 days a week for over 2 years and we have been very happy with all aspects of her care.
Rashi is always happy, calm and very patient. She has helped our son develop through various sensory, arts, crafts and seasonal activities. We love the mix of activities and days out that Rashi arranges for the children eg the farm, zoo, parks etc but with the care of a home setting. They do something everyday and our son always comes home with plenty to say! The children do singing, dancing, yoga, reading, nursery rhymes and one-on-one learning; my son vocab, counting has come on so well. Nutrition wise, very importantly, the variation, quantity and quality is perfect.
Without doubt the best start to your child’s early years life you could wish for.
My child attended Rashi's childminding service in 2019 aged 3 for approximately 6 months. Within this period Rashi very efficiently identified additional needs for my child. She professionally discussed this with me and confirmed my concerns that my child may be on the ASD spectrum. This was a previous concern of mine that the previous nursery did not raise or identify despite my concerns as my child was there for 18 months and we had to leave the setting due to poor transition.
Rashi very quickly contacted the SEND team and linked us in by supporting, attending with us & making the introductions. By doing this we were able to access the right support for our child and are to this day very grateful that Rashi was there through her very many years of experience able to identify and support us. She is very knowledgeable and has a good understanding of children with ASD traits and we would highly recommend her for children of all abilities.
I came to know of Rashi through neighbors who were all saying how great she is. Last March, I asked Rashi to help prepare my daughter for reception. My daughter had social anxiety according to a previous nursery. After staying with Rashi for a brief 5 months, I'm very happy to say that my daughter had a good start in reception. She has become very sociable (she can play with any kid she meets), she is excited to go to school every day, she is listens and follows instructions from other adults like her football coaches/school teachers. She has also become more independent. I am so proud and happy of the milestones that my daughter has accomplished. Much of it is because of the care and guidance from Rashi and her team. Rashi knew how to handle my daughter's situation - she didn't rush her at all. Rashi gradually built the trust - in the beginning, my daughter would only see Rashi for a few hours/days per week until it became 5 days per week. My daughter had so much fun and learned so much in Rashi's setting. Rashi prepared lot of activities - arts, outdoor play, baking etc. We will be eternally grateful for the all love and support that Rashi and her team has given our daughter. We feel very lucky to have Rashi care for our daughter. It is with tears that we say good bye to Rashi and we deeply regret not sending our daughter sooner. For any parent considering Rashi, please do not hesitate. We haven't met anymore more kind, caring, compassionate and capable as her.
I was so anxious going back to work and putting my 10 month old into child care.
Also, because of the nature of my job, I only get given my contract dates/location a week or so ahead of time. I decided that I wouldn't take the job if I didn't get a good feeling about childcare.
I reached out to Rashi and she was so accommodating and understanding.
Both her and Kamaljit were just wonderful with him. They sent me pictures/videos frequently so I could have peace of mind at work that he was happy, playing with other children (his first time doing so), and how his confidence was growing. Rashi was flexible with my working times, which I was so grateful for as I can't always conform to normal office times.
My son's development came on so much so quickly in the time he was there. I was so scared about what/how to feed him, and with Rashi, he began to eat a wide variety of foods safely, and now his appetite is huge!
After just over a week, he stopped being upset about me leaving him, and would happily lean in for Rashi or Kamaljit to pick him up.
It was with a heavy heart that our time with Rashi came to and end, but without a doubt, if/when my work takes me back to that area, I will be absolutely giving Rashi a call. I wish he could have stayed throughout all of his baby/toddler days as he ended up having so much fun and so many wonderful experiences and activities.
I would like to give 5 star review to Rashi.My kids loved being with her.The day was always planned with fun activities anf outings and kids always looked forward to being with Rashi. She is very kind and a considerate childminder. Highly recommended.
My son went to Rashi's childcare full time for more than a year and he absolutely loved it. The care her team shows with the emphasis on learnings and exploration is unparalleled in the area. We have sent our child to alphabet in waterside park and bright horizons in east India and he could not settle there. Finally he got settled in with Rashi and Kamaljit within a week. She has tonnes of experience and can settle the child within minutes. Another advantages of her care is having kids of all ages in the same setup unlike the split which traditional nurseries has. Due to this, younger kids learn more from older kids and older kids build empathy and care towards younger ones. She takes request on working on areas where child needs help and gives good advice to parents to work on areas where kid is good. Food is healthy and child is taught to eat and finish his own food from very young age. Overally highly recommend her.
My son has been with Rashi since he was 4 months old and I had go back to work. From the first time I met Rashi I was taken with her warmth, kindness, authenticity, experience, knowledge and professionalism. She has an entire room set up for soft play and sensory tasks. There is another room set up for free play, with lots of toys, books, activities and space to move. Outside there is a big lawn also full of space to run around and play, and nearby is a park. They make beautiful homemade lunches fresh every day. During the 12 months my son has been there, he has thrived. He LOVES going to Rashi's and spending time with her, Kamaljit (her assistant), Raul (her son) and the other children, the place has a wonderful family feel to it. Rashi has also been a big support to me. As a first-time single Mum, she has shared tips with me when I've asked and we coordinate naps and responses between her place and mine so my son gets consistency and we get the best out of him. I love and appreciate the photos and videos she sends me of their activities during the day, you can see how much fun and joy they have. When I moved recently, my number one priority was staying in the area so I could keep my son at Rashi's – she is his second Mama! I have every intention of my son staying with Rashi and Kamaljit and thank my lucky stars that I found them!
Thank you Rashi and Kamaljit
From one grateful Mama x
Rashi and her Team have been looking after our girls for over a year and we have been very pleased and happy with what they have done to make our children feel welcome and stay focused. The children have learned so many educational and fun activities and were always given hot, fresh meals during Winter, particularly when children need good nutrition most.
We interviewed so many childminders but Rashi was the most focused and likeable person and has been very good with the girls focusing her efforts on the girls settling issues at the beginning which didn't last long, we can't thank Rashi enough.
As parents for a lovely 3-year-old that attends Rashi settling, we would, with no reservations, recommend Rashi’s service.
After a negative experience with a previous childminder I contacted Rashi and was immediately warm and welcoming inviting me to see her settling. I was so impressed with the way she has dedicated her house and created a safe environment for the kids. She has a soft play area that the kids love playing and a bigger room with all kind of toys. Also, she is using her back garden and she has toys there too for when it is nice outside.
She keeps in contact with us throughout the day, sending videos and photos to show us all the amazing activities and visits the children do. For us, Rashi’s settling is the safest, warmest and happiest environment a child can have.
Along with the day to day activities, she is always doing special things around the holiday for kids/parents. We had such a great Christmas Party in 2019, we created so many memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you, our amazing Rashi 😊
Only God knows how much I wanted her settling for our daughter and I am so grateful that she accepted to help us and be there for us all the time. If we ever had a concern about our daughter (potty training, tantrums, bottle etc) Rashi and her team are all there to assist, work with us and ultimately foster love, knowledge and kindness in our daughter.
Rashi is easily the most kind, loving individuals, patient, organized and very knowledgeable especially when it comes to childcare.
Our daughter loves her so much. We all do!
Thank you!
