Below are the latest reviews for Nav. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

We spoke with and saw several childminders before settling on Nav, and we can say with absolute certainty that we made the correct decision for our child.
We take our 2.5 year old to Nav twice a week for full days, and in the morning drive he likes to tell us that he's excited to see Aunty Nav - which tells us all we need to know as to how she is with him.
When we drop our son, he always reaches out for a hug to Nav, who is always very inviting, warm and friendly towards him and us.
Our boy is cheeky, but tends to be shy around others - but at Navs he plays, talks to the other children's and generally feels like he's at home. Also, Navs house is very spacious, spotlessly clean and has a wc downstairs which I'm sure is very beneficial to those children who are still potty training.
We are delighted to have Nav looking after our son and 100% would recommend you to meet her and see first hand how she interacts with your child/children.
Thank you Nav.

Nav is very good with my 1 year old daughter, always willing to help where she can, I can`t fault her she is very helpful and nothing is ever too much to ask for. My daughter is very happy and I never have a worry in the world when she is with Nav as I know she is well looked after so I can focus on my job. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. She is brilliant and takes pride in her job and makes it fun for the kids. We would be lost without her :-)

Nav has been looking after our 2 year old from last 5 months now. And i must say I am super happy with her. Our daughter loves her as well and happily goes to her. Nav is very caring and treats all the kids like her own. She is always smiling and happy! Being a mother,I am always texting to check on my daughter. And Nav is so quick to respond. Nav is so considerate that she even shares my daughter's pictures to put my mind on ease! bless her! Can't praise her enough!! The best childminder one could ever ask for!!!

Nav is a very good childminder she always accommodates where she can is flexible. I would be lost without her. Jasmine adores her and has fun there, my daughter did take time to settle in but Nav gave up on her which I am so thankful for. She does activities with the kids on Xmas we got a Xmas card. Her house is clean and tidy and she is a very nice warm kind hearted person and I feel safe leaving my daughter with her. Also sometimes i forget to ask Nav something when I go to pick up my daughter and I text her in the evenings and her response is very fast which I appericiate a lot.

Nav looks after my 3/half years son and I am really happy with the service provided. My son has been going to Nav for only 3 months and every morning when she comes to pick up at home he is so excited and happy to see her. She has the right to say that she offers "high quality childcare in a home from home safe environment" :)
When I met her first time, I really felt comfortable with her and her loving home. She is friendly, fun, caring, sensitive and creative. My boy likes her so much and he was able to settle right in and develop great social skills over the months. She provide reliable, flexible and trustworthy care. I am able to go to work without thinking and worry about my son knowing that my child is in safe hand. My son gradually enjoyed his stay with her. I would definitely recommend Nav to other friend. Just love her. Thanks Nav.
