Awesta is an amazing childminder and I couldn’t have been more lucky to find someone so kind and nurturing to leave my child with. Since starting at her setting my child has grown to be more independent and now goes to her with open arms in the morning. She has supported us with my child’s development and I highly recommended her to anyone looking for a nurturing childminder.

Awesta has been so gentle with my daughter since the moment they met and built a great relationship with her. She’s always so excited at drop off and has learnt so many new things and become so independent. Awesta does well at catering to her dietary requirements as well. It was very tricky to find a childminder that’s flexible with hours and can help on weekends too so we’re very lucky!

I’m very happy with Awesta, she is an experienced child carer and does a great job taking care of my darling daughter. I was very anxious leaving my daughter but Awesta made me feel at ease and the settling period for my daughter was so easy, my daughter now shuts the door on me when I drop her off. She is very happy attending and my heart is at ease leaving her with Awesta. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a nurturing experienced childminder.
