Vas worked for me as a Saturday School Early Years Practitioner from October 2022 until July 2025. She was professional, mature, knowledgeable, experienced, reliable, enthusiastic, innovative and conscientious. Vas is a talented Early Years Practitioner and was able to produce outstanding results with a diverse range of children. She is a great communicator and was able to strike a perfect balance between being honest with parents and providing encouragement, depending on the needs of the child and family. Vas was always flexible and adaptable, often covering for absent colleagues across the whole school age range, or offering to complete paperwork and marking for our organisation. Vas has an amazing rapport with children and I recommend her Early Years Services to parents unreservedly.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Vas for the past two years, and I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible support and care she has provided to my daughter.
From the very beginning, when she was only 3.5 years old; Vas, took a holistic and child-centered approach to learning, always tuning into my daughter’s individual interests, strengths, and emotional needs. Her nurturing, calm presence created a safe and encouraging environment where my daughter felt confident to explore and grow.
Using the EYFS framework as a foundation, she skillfully incorporated phonics, early maths, and language development into playful, engaging activities that made learning feel natural and enjoyable. The progress my daughter has made in both her confidence and academic readiness has been remarkable — particularly in early writing skills, which have flourished Vas’s thoughtful guidance.
What stands out most is the way she truly sees each child as a whole person. Her ability to build strong, trusting relationships while gently guiding learning through interest-led activities is a real gift. It has laid a strong foundation for my daughter not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My daughter has excelled and has a deep love for learning at school which therefore shows from her higher reading level.
I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done, and feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our phonic and maths journey.

My son has been with Vas for nearly a year, since he was 3 and a half. She collects him from nursery 5 days a week and I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my little boy. He absolutely loves his time with Vas, she has a lovely demeanour, she’s kind and caring, I just know he’s in the best hands! On top of all that, it’s just a bonus how much he’s learning while in her care, from her and the other lovely kids she takes care of. It’s a proper family feel in her home and it’s reflected in how happy the kids are. On the odd occasion that Vas is unavailable, he is less than pleased that someone else has to collect him (usually a family member), which says a lot! I would 100% recommend Vas to anyone who wants excellent care for their child.

Wow Kim, thank you so much. It's an absolute pleasure I enjoy spending time with G, he's a wonderful little boy.
Vas has looked after my 2 girls aged 5 and 6 for 2 years. The girls were always extremely happy in Vas’ care and were encouraged to take part in educational and fun activities during their time with Vas. My girls really took to her kind and gentle approach.
I would highly recommend Vas for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy childminder. Had my work situation not changed then we would still be using Vas’ services for the foreseeable future.

Thank you Angela. It was a pleasure looking after the girls. I will miss them. However, I understand your change in circumstances and I wish you and your family all the very best.
Kind regards
Vas
Vas looked after my 2 children (aged 9 and 6 years) from Jan 2021 through to July 2022, doing school pick ups from Little Heath. My kids loved their time with Vas and I really appreciated Vas’s reliability and patience (as I was often quite frazzled with work commitments so Vas’s reliability & flexibility were very much appreciated). Vas’s efforts with supervising my children’s homework & feeding them after school were also a great help to reduce the time burden of our busy week. I highly recommend Vas to anyone seeking after school support with child care!

Vas has been collecting my little boy from school four times a week for about a year. He loves playing with the other kids and is always very well cared for. The environment is safe and Vas is very professional in all respects.
I strongly recommend Vas as a childminder.

Vas is an outstanding childminder in every respect. She is warm and has a loving home and takes very good care of my son. Agneesh loves her home and playing with his friends at her place.
She is very understanding and very helpful with all our needs and understands the issues of a working mother
Vas house is very vibrant, loving and warm. My son loves all the daily activities after school, playing in the trampoline , completing the homework etc.
We highly recommend Vas to anyone who is looking for a loving, warm hearted, caring person and most importantly you don't need to worry about your child when you are at work.
