Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Dhani. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I was fortunate enough to find Dhani through this website, and my daughter has been attending Dhani's setting for the past two years. Dhani has been outstanding from day one, and we truly felt that our daughter was at home. There hasn't been a single day that my daughter wasn't delighted to go to Dhani's. Dhani puts exceptional effort into each child's development, adapting her approach to meet the unique needs of every child. It is truly spectacular to see someone care for your child as much as you do.
My daughter has made tremendous strides in her development, and I know Dhani played a significant role in that. She is always encouraging the children to learn new skills and behave appropriately. The environment Dhani has created is ideal, and all the children there are thriving.
I am not usually one to write reviews, but I feel this is the least I can do to express my gratitude. The best part is that I will be seeing Dhani again soon, as my son will be joining her setting in a couple of months.
If I were to summarize my experience in one sentence, it would be: 'If you take your child to Dhani, you will have peace of mind and see impressive results.'

Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It has been a joy caring for your daughter and watching her grow and develop skills over the last two years. Knowing she feels happy and at home is so sweet to hear. I am very grateful for the trust you have placed in me and my setting and i can’t wait to welcome your son and support him on his journey too !!
Dhani has been looking after our son for nearly 2 years now and we‘ve been really happy for all this time and feel lucky to have found her. She is very loving and caring and always provides great indoor and lots of outdoor activities for the kids she is looking after.
She has great communication skills and updates us regularly with progress but also talks through potential problems and always has good and productive suggestions.
Our son is always relaxed and happy when we pick him up and has a fantastic bond with Dhani. We‘re looking forward to our second child starting with her soon.
We highly recommend Dhani to everyone looking for a childminder.

Thank you so much Hanna 🙏
Dhani currently looks after my 2 year old daughter and has done since September 2020. It is so hard for parents to find someone that they feel comfortable leaving their child with but with Dhani, we found someone. We couldn't be happier with the care she provides. For me, it all boils down to my daughters excitment at going there. She loves Dhani and the enviroment that she has created for the children she looks after.
Dhani takes time to create exciting and engaging activities for the children where they can have fun and progress. Her enviroment is stimulating and she has a good range of indoor and outdoor toys, including an all weather outdoor area. She sees each child as an individual and provides them with the opportunities to grow. This is then tracked by Dhani and she often provides evidence of my daughters progress.
When there, I feel my daughter is completly safe. Dhani is a calm influence on all the children and sets clear and boundaries for them to follow. She easily gains all the children's confidence and trust and I know that they feel safe while under her care.
Throughout our time with Dhani, she has shown that she is an excellent practitioner, a natural with children and I feel confident when reccomending her to other parents.
Thanks for all you do Dhani.

Cara after reading this i feel proud of myself and everything i do for children and family comes from my heart i am lucky to have wonderful children's and families.
Thank you so much 🙏
Dhani is such a lovely person and dedicated professional. My son (21 months old) goes to Dhani twice a week where he has access to a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise.
I have been extremely happy with the care that my son has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Dhani's care. Her home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son has great fun playing with all available toys and with the other children in Dhani's care.
I know that Dhani provides well balanced food and healthy snacks such as fruit and yoghurt throughout the day. I am also aware that she ensures good personal hygiene, encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. I’m sure that it is this practice together with the cleanliness of Dhani's home which has ensured that my son has remained healthy.
Dhani is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my son's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are in my opinion important. When my son steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.

Thank you so much Rachel 😊
I hired Dhani as a nanny for my 6 month old between October 2019- March 2020.
Dhani is kind, caring, patient and an extremely intuitive childminder. She is a calming influence on any child and works hard to forge good long term habits.
She was extremely reliable and I felt at peace leaving my child in her care.
I would strongly recommend her.
