Below are the latest reviews for Giti. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members 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.
We chose Giti to look after our daughter (then 18months, now over 3) because it was evident when we visited that she builds really strong relationships with the children she cares for. Our initial feel was very much validated in the way that Giti got to know our daughter and what she needed, and the care she provided. Our daughter also really benefitted from the range of outings she went on with Giti, as well as all the indoor activities. Giti was also really easy to deal with as a service provider: clear, transparent, fuss free.

We know Giti since 2015 when she started to take care of our first daughter. We were so happy with her that she is now taking care of our second daughter too. Giti is an AMAZING childminder and we would strongly recommend her to any parents. She is always very calm and kind, and she truly takes care of kids. Both our daughters have been always happy to spend time with her. Giti offers a clean, safe, and entertained environment for the children. I feel not only physically, especially mentally relaxed to take my daughters to her, because I know they are in good hands, and I don't need to be worried at all.
We couldn’t recommend Giti more, everyone will be lucky to have her.
She is part of our family.

Giti cared for our child for 2 years, enjoyed every day and mostly didn't want to return home at the end of each day! The care Giti provided was amazing, best I have experienced. Not just the care, but total thought, education, activities & food helped our child to develop. The setting is homely, a wide range of activities, toys, games to play with a peaceful view over the garden. Giti took great care in planning excursions and internal activities and always provided an overview of the child's day. We really felt our daughter developed well with Giti and felt part of her family. I'd have no hesitation to recommend any parent to chose Giti for their child's care!

Giti has been looking after our little girl for the last 14 months, since she was 12 months old, but we are now moving away from London. I'm absolutely devastated that we won't be bringing Giti with us. We were so lucky to have found her as Giti is such a warm, kind, caring and calm person - exactly the qualities I hope our little girl will grow up to have!
Giti really offers a home-from-home environment and does so many things with the little ones from trips to the Wetland centre, to the library, the park as well as arts and crafts, soft play and play groups. They've given my little girl the opportunity to socialise with other children as well as being stimulated by lots of different environments and experiences. My little girl is confident and inquisitive and happy and this has all been encouraged by Giti.
Giti always provides a home cooked lunch as well and somehow has been able to get our little one to eat foods that she refuses at home!
As a new mum I always found Giti a helpful source of support to ask questions to when faced with new parenting challenges; including how to keep my little one entertained on long journeys, how to guide her through developmental leaps, travel sickness, bedtime battles and even teething!
Giti has become so special to us -she has been like a second mum to our daughter, and like a mum to me too especially when we went on to have our second baby. Giti even helped to prepare our daughter for the arrival of her brother and has always been on hand to give advice and support when we needed it. I've recommended Giti to so many other mums, she is an absolute gem and I know we'll be staying in touch with her after we move - she really does feel like one of the family.

Giti is the most brilliant childminder we could ever wish for.
Our little boy was going to Giti from ten months old till he turned three something.
First of all, Giti is genuinely fond of children. She loves them and they love her back. Settling in was super smooth and our little one couldn't wait to go to hers each morning. And l understand why. Giti keeps her children very well entertained. Playgroups, Forest School, trips to Richmond Park, Barnes Wetlands Centre, painting, crafting. So fun and educational!
Giti is very professional and accommodating. She kept a detailed diary of everyday activities, eating habbits and personal development of our boy until he turned two. From then on her verbal reports during pick-up time were also very profound. Giti really knows your child and adapts the menu and routine to his/hers needs.
At Giti's our boy learned a few very important social skills: sharing, listening, making emotional connection with other children and adults. In other words, I believe Giti helped us to shape our child's personality in the best possible way. And we couldn't be happier with the result.
Giti is and always will be a very important member of our family.

Our little boy was with Giti 5 days per week from 9 months old until he turned 3. He loved it there and looked forward to going to her every day. Giti's home was a second home for him, and the manner in which she cared for him made us always feel at ease.
With both my husband and I working full-time in the city, it was important for us to feel comfortable leaving our little boy with someone who we trusted and who we knew would take amazing care of him especially when he was with her from 7:30am until after 6pm every weekday. He never complained once about going to her in the morning; as soon as she opened the door he would give her a big cuddle.
Regular visits to playgroup, local playgrounds, and Barnes Wetland Centre meant that there was great variety in his day. Giti would also do regular activities with him at home including painting, arts and crafts, and messy play, as well as activities to assist with his development in numeracy and literacy.
She is a very gentle and caring person and those traits have rubbed off on our little boy too. She would always make sure that the children learnt how to share and care for each other which are very important skills to teach at such a young age.
We can't thank Giti enough for everything she has done for us and our little boy. We highly recommend her as a childminder.

Giti looked after my little boy from 10 months until he was approximately 2.5 years old. He was so happy and well looked after in Giti's care. She created a warm, safe and loving environment for him and all the children in her care. He loved going to her and was always very happy there. She also helped me with my second son for a short while before we left Putney and moved further out to Surrey. She truly cared about my boys and always had their best interests at heart. Always made an effort to make their days interesting and get out and about. She took him out daily to different playgroups, parks etc. She is really liable and also helped us a number of times with babysitting when needed. I really recommend Giti, she a very kind, warm and caring person.

Giti is a fantastic childminder. She looked after my son from 6 months until 2.5years old, and my second son for a couple of months before we moved from Putney. My son is now 4years old and still asks for her, so we have her over for tea or to babysit every now and then. I have recommended Giti to a number of my friends who had her as a childminder for their children and were as happy with her as I was.
Giti takes the kids out daily and is warm and loving. She is so reliable, I don't recall a single sick day in the two years she looked after my kids. She really is a great childminder, so I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, fun and entertaining environment for their little ones.

I couldn’t recommend Giti highly enough. My daughter was with Giti from 7 months old till she was 2.5 years old. When it was time for me to return to work my biggest anxiety was childcare for my daughter. Upon meeting Giti all my worries were alleviated. I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable in her presence and my daughter took to her straight away. We never suffered any of the dreaded tears or refusal to go. In fact she would go in and play not really caring if we were there.
My daughter grew in confidence and learnt so much in Giti’s company. Every day she surprised us with new nursery rhymes or talents with painting and cooking. Giti is very active with the children. I had no fears that she will become bored. Each day they visited different groups. On occasions Giti even took them to museums in London. I admire Giti and her get up and go. Whenever I collected My daughter she was always so happy as are the other children. On most occasions I found it difficult to get her home!
Giti has been so accommodating with us. We both work and on odd occasions have had to rely on Giti looking after our daughter for extended periods. In this respect we are entirely grateful. Not being near extended family Giti became our extended family and our support. Giti has also been invaluable on giving us advice and encouragement, which as first time parents was amazing. She always had some trick up her sleeve on how to handle situations. Especially as our daughter grew up and the testing periods started.
We both trust Giti entirely. I could go on and on with the praise for Giti. The only reason we're not still with Giti is distance of our move. We are all so sad to have left her.
