We hadn’t initially considered a childminder, but after my son struggled to settle in nursery, we started looking for other options, and we couldn’t have been luckier to find Neeta. She has looked after both my boys from the age of 9 months until they were ready for kindergarten, and she now truly feels like part of our family.

Not only is Neeta a fountain of parenting advice, but she’s also a genuinely lovely person. Her setting offers all the social benefits of a nursery with plenty of interaction with other children and a structured learning curriculum, which she updates us on weekly, while also providing the personal touch of a more tailored childcare environment. She’s gone above and beyond to support our requests around potty training, dietary needs, and sleep routines, and has helped emotionally prepare the boys for school.

Her home is perfectly set up for the children, yet still feels warm and welcoming, like they’re part of a family. My boys and I have made lasting friendships with other children and parents through Neeta, and I know these bonds will continue for years to come.

If it’s not already obvious, I cannot recommend Neeta highly enough! My children love her, and I’m sure yours would too.
