Great experience

5 stars

Our daughter was with Nesh four days a week between the ages of 2 and 3. We had a very good experience. It is a small, intimate environment but the children are taken out regularly for trips. Low stress for working parents, as the hours are good and food is included, so we dropped our daughter off knowing that everything would be taken care of while we worked. Our daughter bonded well with the other children, and although she is at nursery now we still send her back for vacation and occasionally care.

Excellent setting - happy children; happy parents!

5 stars

Nesh and her team have always provided excellent care to our children. So much so, that our 12 year old son regularly asks to return in the holidays!
Our youngest child will continue to go in the holidays and will be happy to return, to see their friends, Nesh and her family and team.

The setting provides great learning opportunities for the children, with mixed ages that lead to faster walking, talking, potty training and beyond.

Pre-schoolers are treated to several trips out a week, meaning they are developing fantastic social skills with both adults and children from other settings and the wider public in general.

The children constantly have others to “look up to” and learn from and we are convinced that this, and Nesh’s experience, mean the children develop faster than the “norm”.

Conversely, the older children appear to show far greater empathy for the younger ones than one might expect and our experience has been that the setting encourages the older children to nurture the younger ones.

Our children have met and exceeded all the milestones we would expect. We are confident that were this not the case; Nesh and team would work with us to put plans in place to address any areas of concern.

They are one enormous happy family. The bonds built here, continue after the need for a childminder ends and Nesh will always be a huge part of our family.

Best Childminder in Welwyn and probably beyond!

5 stars

I cannot fault the level of care my daughter she has received from day one with Nesh. She has flourished under her supervision and is ahead of several of her friends who are of a similar age but in a different childcare setting in terms of key skills/communication.

Every week she comes home having learned new skills from songs, words, writing, creative play, crafts, pictures, expressing herself verbally and knowing how to interact with others in a kind and considerate manner. My daughter is so excited to see Nesh that she refers to her as “her best friend” and ends her days with "bye Nesh, I love you".

Unfortunately my daughter will be starting school in September but my son will still be there and I am excited to see him grow and develop under her care. We are lucky to have Nesh and her childcare facilities and would/do recommend her to everyone.

The best in town!

5 stars

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Nesh and her assistants was always very kind, caring and loving with our son. They looked after him very well. He was in the setting for less then a year but his improvement was wonderful! She has a very large garden with lots of fun outdoor activities plus there is always a trip to the playground or the to the farm. She always updated us with what he ate or what they did on the day plus uploaded pictures. He would cry to go even weekends. We are really grateful for finding her in ours and my sons life 💛💛⭐
Many many thanks Nesh for your hard work since day one!

Great childminder

5 stars

Nesh looked after our little girl from aged 1 to 3 years old. Our daughter always seemed happy and content. She made friends with the other children easily. She enjoyed the trips out to the farm, soft play, town and the park. Nesh always kept us up to date with photos on the app of activities during the day. She enjoyed playing in the garden and playroom which always looked spotless on photos and there was wide variety of toys. Food was included and there was good menu of healthy meals. Nesh was always flexible if we needed to add a days childcare. We always knew our daughter was safe and well cared for. Thank you

Truly Amazing Childminder - Highly Recommended!

5 stars

We have used Nesh with 2 of our children now and I have nothing but positive things to say about the setting. Nesh and all her staff are extremely friendly and flexible, very caring and understanding of your individual needs and always happy to help where possible. Both our boys were there for a few years each and absolute loved it, made lots of friends, visited lots of places and enjoyed all activities in the setting. The setting is more than you could ask for, very big and well catered to children of all ages and I've never known a childminder to do so many activities with the children and taking them on a variety of days out so frequnetly. Parents are kept well informed with notes and pictures using the BabysDay app. HelloFresh used for food, it really helped my children expand their taste with the variety of foods they were provided. The only reason we didn't leave our children there longer is because of changes in our personal circumstances and moving to a new County. I can't speak highly enough of Nesh, her staff and the setting. I would just 100% recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the area, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing from start to finish

5 stars

Nesh & her whole family have been incredible in their care for our little boy for over a year - and we've only left to move to another area. We'd highly recommend her to anyone that asked.
He started from when he was about to turn one and immediately the transition was made easy by settling in sessions and quick distractions at the door on drop off. From that point on he's been far less nervous of new settings, and Nesh has really helped us to shape him into a happy confident little boy. He always came home happy, well fed on nutritious and varied food, and often having had a change of clothes from playing outside in the garden which he loves! He adored Nesh, their dog and most of the family too who have all gotten to know him over the year. Nesh uses the babysdays app which is also really useful for updates / pictures and a daily diary. Pre-COVID, Nesh took the kids out a lot to soft play, the farm, and playgroups which was a huge added bonus for us.
Nesh has a beautiful, clean, dedicated setting for the kids with lots of new & well cared for toys and a huge variety of activities.

Caring and professional

5 stars

From the moment I met nesh i was very impressed by her home and the time she took to explain how child minding worked as a first time mum I was very reassured by her. When we decided to use Nesh, drop off day one with my 14 month old was easy as Nesh took charge and distracted my little one with activities. The daily updates on what she had been doing, eating and pictures on a mobile app really worked for me. My daughter was there for 8months and we only moved as she was going to nursery but my daughter really really enjoyed going and I know was stimulated, safe and happy.

Greatly missed

5 stars

We couldn't recommend Nesh and Laura anymore than we do!

Our son was with them for just under a year terribly sad he couldn't stay due to myself having another baby, they are very passionate about the children they look after and always go out of their way to accommodate parents and children as much as they can.

The children were never bored and always seemed to be busy everyday, whether that being home activities or out in the community.

Our son was always happy to go each morning and still smiling when we collected him. They are missed terribly by our son and us!

Thoroughly recommend

5 stars

My daughter has been with Nesh and Laura since she was 8 months old and from the first day I handed her over (crying my eyes out!) she has been happy there. I also got over it! She is now 3½. She comes home exhausted and happy after all the many exciting things she has done that day. Whether that is visits to the local farm, museum, park, soft play or play group as well as plenty of activities in the garden and fields around her house.

Nesh and Laura have created a very safe, happy family oriented environment that clearly the children flourish in. My daughter is so confident these days particularly in new environments and around new people and I absolutely put that confidence down to Nesh and Laura encouraging her the way they do.

Nesh uses an online diary to share stories, photos (nappies and naps when it was relevant) and daily food which is helpful to know. My daughter eats very well there and the cost of this is included in the hourly price.

I agree with other reviews here – both Nesh and Laura seem to make looking after children so easy – they are caring, confident and patient and I feel very fortunate to have them looking after my daughter while I go out to work. Thank you both!
