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.
