Exceptional Care and Support

5 stars

We were introduced to Aarthi through a friend's recommendation, and from our very first visit, we felt confident in choosing her setting. Her home is bright, welcoming, and provides excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for children to learn and play.

Aarthi is professional, caring, and genuinely treats every child as her own. She provides a structured routine, encourages independence at each child's pace, and ensures children receive a healthy, balanced diet.

Our daughter, Riya, joined Aarthi's setting at the age of two. She was initially quite shy, but within days she had settled in and was excited to attend. Under Aarthi's care, Riya developed confidence, independence, and many essential skills that prepared her well for starting school. Aarthi does an excellent job of supporting children's development and helping them meet Early Years milestones.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and support Aarthi has provided to our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy childminder.

A Second Home for Our Son

5 stars

Choosing Aarthi to look after my son was one of the best decisions we made. She has cared for him since he was just 15 months old, and over the years she has become so much more than a childminder to our family.

From the very beginning, she created a warm, loving environment where my son felt safe, happy, and valued. When he first started going to her, she would cuddle him until he was calm and settled, which meant so much to us as parents. Her home truly became his second home. She is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have met, and the genuine care and affection she shows every child is something very special.

Watching the bond they have built over the years has been wonderful. She has supported his growth, celebrated his milestones, and always been there with patience, encouragement, and a smile. My son often talks about Aarthi and clearly loves being around her daughters and shares special bond with them too. Knowing that he was spending his days with someone who cared for him so deeply gave me complete peace of mind.

We will always be grateful for the love, dedication, and support she has given our son and our family. She has played such an important role in his early years, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to care for him. What a blessing it has been to have her as part of our lives.

Thank you sincerely for your beautiful and thoughtful words. I am truly grateful for the trust you have placed in me to care for your son over the years.
It has been a privilege to watch him grow from a young toddler into the wonderful child he is today. The bond we have built is something I will always cherish.
Knowing that you felt confident, reassured, and at peace while your son was in my care is the greatest reward I could ask for.
It has been an honour to play a small part in your son's early years, and I will always be grateful for the wonderful memories we have shared.
With heartfelt thanks and best wishes,
Aarthi

Part of the family❤️

5 stars

Aarthi has been taking care of my son Dominic since he was 1 year and 10 months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She treated him like part of her own family, always showing him so much love, patience, and care.

Dominic was always happy and comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind as a parent. Aarthi created a safe, warm, and caring environment where he could learn, play, and grow with confidence.

Because of the amazing experience we had with her, our daughter Chloe is now going there as well. That alone says how much trust and appreciation we have for Aarthi and the care she provides.

I am truly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dedicated.

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It has been an absolute pleasure caring for Dominic and watching him grow, learn, and develop over the years.

I am equally delighted to have Chloe as well. Knowing that you have entrusted me with the care of both your children is the highest compliment I could receive.
Thank you for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. Your appreciation means so much, and I look forward to continuing to provide a safe, nurturing, and caring environment.
With sincere thanks,
Aarthi

Highly recommended

5 stars

Since moving our daughter from a local nursery over a year ago, we couldn’t be happier with the care Aarthi provides. She is incredibly dedicated and tailors her approach to meet our 3-year-old’s individual needs. We’ve seen a wonderful boost in our daughter’s independence and mathematical literacy during her time there. Aarthi’s updates are always detailed and keep us well-informed about her day. I cannot praise her enough for the supportive and nurturing environment she has created. She is an outstanding childminder, and I highly recommend her setting to any parent.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Vicky. It’s a real pleasure having your daughter with me and I truly appreciate the trust you place in my setting. I’m very glad to hear you’re happy with the service—I look forward to continuing to support your family.

Wonderful Care and Support from Aarthi

5 stars

We are extremely happy with the care our child receives from Aarthi. We came to her through a friend’s recommendation, and we’re so glad we did.
Our child started going to Aarthi when she was just 10 months old, and Aarthi was incredibly patient and understanding during the settling-in period. She took great care to make the transition smooth and comfortable, which really helped our child feel safe and secure.
Aarthi is very experienced, patient, and caring, and this shows clearly in the way she looks after the children. Our child always comes home happy and content, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. She enjoys playing there and is encouraged to engage in self-play, which has really helped build her independence.
We’ve also noticed wonderful progress in her development — she is learning basic words, playing confidently, and becoming more comfortable in a social setting. Aarthi has been especially supportive in helping our child learn to eat on her own, which we truly appreciate.
Overall, Aarthi provides a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. We are very grateful for the care, attention, and dedication she gives, and we would happily recommend her to other parents looking for a reliable and loving childminder.

Accommodating, warm and caring

5 stars

My son aged 7 started going to Aarthi since May this year and we have been extremely happy with the service she provides. Aarthi and her family have been an integral part of my son’s life since then. Along with her caring nature, she engages the kids in various different activities. My son adores her so much and looks forward to go to her every week. She also helps the kids with the academic stuff according to their stage of learning. His writing skills and handwriting improved so much while learning with her. Aarthi has been very much accommodating with our requests to suit our needs and we couldn’t thank her enough for being so understanding. We were able to fully trust her to look after our son while me and my husband were working full time.
Thank you for all your support to our son and us Aarthi.

Thank you so much for your review. So glad that you liked my service. My pleasure to have him in my setting, such a well behaved and friendly child. Will be missing him. Best wishes.

Simply Brilliant

5 stars

We are so glad we found Aarthi when looking for childcare for our son (age3). Aarthi is caring, friendly and has made sure our son was happy and settled every time we dropped him off. She provides a large variety of activities and she has a lovely outside space too for children to use. She cooks everyday fresh hot food and very flexible in giving options to both parents and kids to choose what they like to eat, my son is a fussy eater and she always made sure that he had his portion of food and she puts extra effort of feeding him whenever he is not able to eat on his own. We recently started sending our son full time and can see the activities and efforts she made to engage our little one to improve his social with other kids.she will update us every day on the activities she does and will advise us with various options which she can offer and also recommends us with ideas we can do at home with our son who is delayed with speech. We are really looking forward to see our son enjoying at her place and we are very sure that he will amaze us with his learning skills under her guidance in the coming months!!

I very much recommend Aarthi to anyone looking for childcare.

My daughter started with Aarthi March of this year. She settled really quickly into her setting, putting myself and my husband at ease. Aarthi’s home created a warm and comfortable environment for my daughter. Since being under Aarthi’s care she has flourished at school, growing in confidence through her reading, spelling and handwriting. I would highly recommend her services.

She is such a cute & obedient child.

Can't ask for more!

5 stars

We have been sending our 2-year-old daughter for the last 3 months and having spent most of her time in India it was very worrying for us on how will she adjust herself when left alone and to the cultural differences but Aarthi took great care of her by engaging her in different activities and made her feel at home.
We can clearly see the difference in my daughter's learnings and her communication skills. She also posts updates on a timely basis which gives us more confidence about our daughter's wellbeing.
Will definitely recommend Aarthi!
