Bisantha has been looking after our twin boys (2.5 year olds) for almost 6 months now and she has been great. We feel it’s a caring environment where the boys learn a lot plus they spend quality time visiting various playing groups. Despite the fact that the boys can be a challenge to handle at home, miraculously they listen to Bisantha, follow instructions and do their learnings. Would recommend this childminder to anyone.

My two children aged 4 (almost 5) and 2 (almost 3) have both been attending Bisantha’s setting since I returned to work when they were just over 1 years old. I knew from the day I visited her in her previous setting, and witnessed the interactions and kindness between her and the children she was caring for, that it would be the perfect setting for my children. I was not wrong.
Bisantha and family feel like an extension to my own; they take such good care, consideration and interest in the children and have always engaged them with age appropriate activities and adventures. They have experienced many a day trip to the parks, local library, soft plays and playgroups, and have paid great attention to their development in keeping with the early years curriculum. A lot have time has been spent also engaging my eldest with numerical, reading and writing skills in preparation for school and Bisantha has guided us with supporting his learning at home.
Importantly the children always feel very happy to attend the setting and each day I ask them if they are happy and if they have enjoyed themselves, and they always say yes. They receive lovely nutritious food (such good cooks) and a menu is
Shared with us in a weekly basis. We always receive photos of the children at the end of each day and learn what they have been up too.
I work in the medical profession, and due to the occasional unpredictability of my work, the childminder setting has always been the one which I have found most appropriate for our families needs. Bisantha and family have provided my children with consistency and security over the years, and such I have been able to work knowing my children are happy, safe and being cared for like one of their own. Our family will truly miss them as we relocate out of area.

Our 2 year-old daughter has been going to Bisantha's 4 days a week for 15 months. Bisantha does lots of activities with the children and uses Montessori methods and equipment. She's very knowledgeable about the early years and has it at heart to help the children learn and progress.
She only takes pre-school children, which means she does not have to do any school runs and the day is organised around what works for the children.
She has a nice garden with plenty of outdoor toys, regularly takes them to the library etc. Our daughter goes in very happy every morning!

Bisantha is an excellent childminder and has been such a godsend to our family. She was the only one willing to offer me government funded hours till I got back into the workforce after covid lockdowns. My 3.5 year old was not used to being around people other than our family but settled into Bisantha’s home setting extremely well. It has become an extension of our home. My son’s days are structured with a mix of learning, outdoor play, indoor play and external playgroups and trips. Bisantha’s home is well organised and she has a large garden filled with engaging toys and activities for her children. What we value most is that Bisantha and her husband are extremely caring and genuinely interested in my children’s well being. She has also started having my older son during school holidays. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Bisantha provides a home from home setting with a garden full of fun! She looks after my twin boys who will be two soon. She is warm, open and extremely caring. She takes them to interesting and varied places which they love, and makes sure they have lots of stimulation, fun and learning activities to get involved in. She listens to feedback, she offers advise based on personal and professional experience and is good at keeping me posted about menus and activities. I would highly recommend her.

Bisantha looks after our 13 month old toddler. He is a confident boy who is aware of his environment and has been developing so well with Bisantha. My toddler doesn’t want to go home at the end of the day. He would happily stay with Bisantha. She takes the kids out on age appropriate activities and makes sure that my child eats well. She does potty training and has been teaching him to eat independently.

We have a challenging 5.5 year old boy that is potentially ASD (hasn't been officially diagnosed) and can be picky about childminders, nannies - whomever is taking care of him. Bisantha was perfect for our son. Although she only watched over him for a week (Bisantha filled in while our regular nanny was on a break) and didn't have much time for bonding, they got along extremely well. Bisantha has a good way about her - fun yet authoritative that works well with kids. Also, in his short time there, my son visited many local playgrounds/parks and even went on a field trip to the 'Forest School'. We would definitely use Bisantha again.

It took me quite a while to find a childminder, and very luckily we found Bisantha. She picks my son up from Rokeby School on Kingston Hill with a few other boys, and make sure they eat their dinners and quite often reading with my son too. Bisantha is kind, responsible and with a certain discipline with the boys, she really knows how to deal with them. She also offers holiday care when she also organises activities, took the boys to the park and libraries. And I felt quite assured that Bisantha is always there for us, once my son was ill and we were unable to pick him up from the school immediately, Bisantha stepped in and looked after him till we arrive. Thank you Bisantha.

Bisantha has looked after my eldest son since he was 23 months and my youngest since he was 8 months. She looks after them full time and I feel extremely lucky to have found such a kind and caring childminder. The boys are always happy to be dropped off and it has made the emotional challenge of returning to work that little bit easier. She cares for them as if they were her own and I know they are safe and happy whenever they are with her. Recently Bisantha has been preparing my eldest for school and, as a primary school teacher myself, I have been amazed by the work she has done with him. At first I was concerned about him going from a childminder straight to school but the preparation she is giving him fills me with confidence that he will start school happy and prepared. Bisantha has an excellent understanding of the EYFS standards and she has always been very clear in communicating their progress with me. Regular updates allow me to stay connected with the boys even when I’m at work. It will be sad when my eldest leaves for school and will no longer get to spend his day with Bisantha but I know it is a time he will look back on fondly.
