Priya is an outstanding childminder and we feel incredibly lucky to have her. Since placing our son (now 15 months) with her in June, his development has been incredible and he obviously adores her. He is very happy with her.

She is clearly passionate about children and child development and knows the EYFS stuff inside out. She regularly provides feedback on his development, new skills he is getting the hang of and how we can help him to learn at home. She has a large purpose built playroom for the children to play in when its cold and rainy, and a well equipped garden where they do messy play, painting, all sorts of activities. She provides a file on each child and updates it with pictures and information regularly. She makes really healthy food for the children and she tells us daily what he's eaten, what activities they have done that day, how he has napped, if he's been a bit grisly or under the weather etc.

She is very caring, patient, warm and great with children. She is also great at communicating with us. She provides the flexibility we need and is really just an absolute diamond.
