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.

Fantastic!

Vida is superb. She always gives great feedback on our boys but often doesn’t need to as the older one speak so happily about what they’ve been up to and the younger one is full of smiles. It’s wonderful receiving all the crafts and drawings they have made and seeing them develop appropriate skills both educationally and socially.

Lovely childminder

Vida has looked after our 2 boys for just over a year and we have been so pleased with what she offers as a childminder. Our 20 month old enjoys the mixture of ages at the setting and they spend plenty of time outside every day and on outings to museums, farms and so on. The day is structured with lots of engaging activities; both boys really enjoy spending time at Vida’s house and have made lovely friendships with the other children there.

A Safe and Loving Place for Children

I highly recommend Vida! She has looked after my child in the past, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention she provided. My child was always happy and well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I am truly grateful for the positive impact Vida has had, and I would not hesitate to trust her with my child again in the future!

An amazing Childminder

My son, Diyan, has been with Vida, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he has received. Vida is incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful. Every morning, Diyan goes to her with a huge smile, which says so much about how much he loves being with her.

Vida has a natural way of making learning fun and engaging. Diyan has a passion for arts and crafts, and under Vida’s guidance, his skills have improved incredibly. She creates such a creative and nurturing environment, and they do so many exciting activities together—cooking, crafts, science experiments, and lots of learning games.

What truly impressed me is how observant Vida is. Diyan loves cars, and she found a brilliant way to teach him the alphabet by pointing out letters on car license plates. It’s little things like this that show how much she tailors her care to the individual child’s interests and needs.

Vida has been a huge positive influence on my son, and I feel so lucky to have her as his childminder. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a loving, creative, and dedicated caregiver for their child.
