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

Finding the right childcare is never easy, but sending our son here has been the best decision we could have made. The atmosphere is warm, nurturing, and truly feels like an extension of home. Our little boy settled in so quickly and looks forward to going in every single day.
What made an enormous difference to us was their flexibility and support right at the beginning. We were going through a very busy transition — starting new work commitments and balancing international travel — all while our son was adjusting to full-time care. The support and understanding they showed during that period took away so much stress and made the transition seamless.
The way they work as a team of three childminders is hands down the best part of their service. For working parents, unexpected closures or sudden sick days are usually a constant worry, but here there is always seamless, trusted cover in place. Our son benefits from having consistent, familiar faces around him, while we get total peace of mind knowing our childcare is completely dependable.
They give children the gentle, personal attention of a home alongside the stability and sociability of a larger setting than just one childminder. We cannot thank them enough for the care they provide and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much, your little one is an absolute delight and when I see him, he really brings that ray of light every morning. He has really progressed and come a long way and when parents work in partnership with us we have some fabulous results. So thank you for taking on the feedback and working with us.
I honestly cannot recommend Soonu and Harjit highly enough. They've looked after both of my children for almost a decade now, and in that time they've become so much more than childminders — it genuinely feels like a second home for my kids.
From day one, they've been incredibly accommodating, professional, considerate, careful, and vigilant. Nothing is ever too much to ask, and they go above and beyond time and time again. My children are always well looked after, fed with freshly prepared Asian meals, and cared for with so much warmth and attention to detail.
Communication has always been excellent — there's a good handover at the end of each day, so I'm never left wondering how things went. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my kids are in such safe, loving hands.
Soonu and Harjit are caring, dependable, and truly wonderful at what they do. I trust them completely, and after nearly ten years, they feel like family. Highly, highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind words Rachana .. we really appreciate your feedback and recommendation.
It been a delight to look after your little ones as they bring joy and excitement in our lives.
"We cannot thank Harjit and Soonu enough for the exceptional care they've provided to our little one! Their home-based setting is immaculately clean, and the homely food they've prepared has been a delight. What truly sets them apart, however, is theiraccommodating nature and warm approach.As full-time working parents, we've experienced a significant reduction in anxiety knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands. We're grateful for their dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking trustworthy and nurturing childcare."

Harjit and her co childminder looked after our daughter after school for most of her primary school years. We found Harjit just brilliant ! - she's extremely diligent and was very caring and thoughtful.with our daughter who adored her. I would highly recommend using Harjit as a childminder- she engages the children in lots of different activities and all the kids seemed to have an enjoyable time in her care. Harjit is a great communicator and also very accomodating which is great for parents - nothing was ever too much trouble.

Harjit has been an amazing childminder to my my little boy along with her co-worker. They settled him very quickly and did so well to put my mind at ease.
Harjit has such a lovely and caring nature, I had no doubt my son would be happy in her care.
She has been very accommodating to our needs and flexible with our changing shifts patterns so for that we are truly grateful.
Not only does she give grate advice to me as a first time mum but she also sends lovely videos and pictures to update us on how he is doing which is extra special because it always puts a big smile on my face.
She is definitely highly recommended!
