Dipali
Childminder in Crawley
My Summary
About Me
I provide children with the best start in life paired with a hint of spirituality. I thoroughly enjoy showing children that we are all spirit souls and that we are all worthy of love.
My home environment is backed by my beliefs and previous professional childcare experience of 10 years in supporting children's emotional well-being plus promoting high self esteem.
My Experience
Dipali Daycare provides outstanding childcare in a home from home environment, that sparks curiosity about spirituality by providing an enabling environment for children to explore, learn and develop great relationships with all of my families.
My home boasts a large separate play area with a big garden adjacent to the play room. Parts of the weekly routine include visits to playgroup, the library, nature walks, morning yoga, kirtan time (spiritual hymn practice with instruments) and many more cultural activities linked to festivals.
The vision of the Daycare:
Happiness and genuine fun - incorporate child-led play
Engagement - being involved, responsive and interested
Respect - promoting a culture of tolerance, inclusions, diversity, equality, fairness & equal opportunities
Challenging - testing ourselves and others around us, trying new things

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing childminder for our son. She has looked after him since he was just 6 months old, and now at 21 months, it’s clear how safe, loved, and happy he is in her care.
Her and her family are truly a loving, supportive family to our son, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless.
He absolutely loves going every day, which says everything. He’s settled, confident, and clearly thriving thanks to the nurturing, attentive, and warm environment she provides. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve always felt completely confident that he’s not only well cared for, but genuinely cherished.
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for a childminder who goes above and beyond. She’s been such an important part of our son’s early life, and we’re so grateful for everything she does.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our child receives from Dipali! She provides a warm, homely, nurturing, and safe environment where our little one feels completely at ease. The activities are always engaging and tailored to support development, and it’s clear how much thought and effort goes into planning each day. Communication is excellent—we’re always updated with photos and notes about our child’s progress and daily activities. We’re so grateful to have found such a dedicated and caring childminder. Our child has developed so much confidence and independence since starting here. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Dipali and would recommend her wholeheartedly without hesitation!

We came across some strange childminders in Crawley preciously but we absolutely love Dipali and are so grateful we found her - it is so important to find a right chilminder for your little one. She is genuinely loving and caring, not doing it only for the money, she genuinely loves children! She is absolutely lovely and a pro when it comes to safety as well!! Our little one loves her too and she's become a part of the family! Our little boy is truly thriving in her setting! It feels good to drop our boy off with her because we know he will be loved and cared for❤️ whilst we are at work! Another bonus point is that our boy gets to learn about another cultures and traditions- this is so good for his overall development! They always do lots of fun things and her nursery is huge and spotlessly clean and so well equipped with amazing toys. Love getting pictures showing him always smiling, looking confident and happy! Our boy will be staying with Dipali until he goes to school and we will definitely still stay in touch with her! Could not recommend Dipali enough, especially if you're a vegetarian like us!
