Childminding hidden gem in Twickenham

Vida has a calm, kind approach towards children and parents.
From when we met Vida, she has been flexible, and adaptable, our son instantly felt comfortable.

Vida organises creative, person-centred activities, and takes an interest in each children’s hobby or family life. With our son, Vida incorporated our Indian family heritage into engaging, fun activities for all the children to celebrate and learn about. We have been especially pleased by this.

The children often go to Kew Gardens or London Wetland Centre which is a great way for our son to develop key skills while accessing and engaging in the local community, Vida also arranged for a trip to the local fire station to learn about fire safety which was a highlight.

Vida provides excellent communication with parents regarding daily updates and term learnings; this includes guidance on how we can support with development.

Vida and the team go above and beyond with their roles, it is reflected in the development of our son and happy he is each morning going to see Vida.

We would highly recommend Vida to any parent looking for a kind, caring, supportive environment for their child to flourish in.

A positive experience into the childcare setting

Atefeh and her team have provided a caring, nurturing environment for our son. He loved his days there. The activities were fun, stimulating and educational. We would also look forward to seeing what we would bring home that day and have a collection of homemade crafts around our home.

The team take the children out most days which is a great opportunity for everyone to explore the local area, this was something we particularly liked about Atefeh’s setting.

The food was beautifully cooked, all nutritious, lots of new and exciting flavours for our son to try. He is not a fussy eater and think exposure to a wide range of food has opened him up to a world of fun food.

Atefeh was always available to discuss any queries, and she was especially supportive and helpful advising us on sleep, our son now sleeps in his own room, throughout the night.

The whole team have been exceptional, we have had such a positive experience into the childcare setting which was new for us as a family and are grateful to all that have supported us with the journey.

So much love and positivity comes from the team, which created a warm, home from home environment for our son to settle into.

Thank you so much to the whole team, sadly we have now moved our son to a closer setting to us, however we will always remember all the love and affection we were showed.
