Naiyana is an excellent childminder and both my children love spending time with her and her family. Both my son and daughter joined when they were 1 year old and are now 2 and 4. She is trustworthy, reliable and offers a loving home away from home environment to nurture each child and there development through creative learning.

Choosing a childminder can be difficult and I remember my priorities were 1. Safety, 2. Family loving environment and 2.Education. I am happy to say Nayiana has ticked all the boxes.

When my children are with Nayiana I know they are safe. Being offsted registered she follows all the relevant policies. The children also get to learn basic life skills about safety this can be road safety, fire drills (visiting fire station or home fire drill).

Although Naiyana setting is in her home the downstairs is purposely designed for the children with access to a secure garden where the children have lots of fun playing with each other. Each week is planned out with different fun activities and can have different thymes e.g. St. Patricks Day, Halloween, Woodland animals, animals who live in cold environment etc. Each child has a learning focus each month, for a 1 yr old this can be using cutlery independently or saying please and a 3 year old can be writing their name. Creative activities are one of Naiyana's strengths and the children get to go out everyday this can be a walk in the park or an outing to magically gardens, fire station or even the nursing home where they sing songs and play games. She also has regular meet up with other childminders in the park this is great to help with social skills. I am amazed at how well mannered all the kids are, from taking off shoes, washing hands, tidying up and just being kind to each other.

My children absolutely love going to Naiyana and I feel my eldest is now well prepared for school. I myself love to see all the photos taken through out the day of all the fun things they get up to. Each evening they come home very happy with a fun story from the day and very full. I would highly recommend Naiyana.
