We just wanted to say a heartfelt thank to Padma for the incredible care, love, patience, kindness and attention you’ve given to our child. It truly feels like we’re leaving our child with a trusted family member—not just a caregiver—and that peace of mind is something we can never thank you enough for.
The way you’ve cared for makes us feel so safe and supported. Especially during a tough time for our family, your help and kindness meant more than words can express. You stepped in with such calm, warmth, and consistency—and we will always be grateful for that.
Your attention to detail, the way you engage and nurture, and the love you clearly show every day have not gone unnoticed. We've seen such happiness and growth in my child, and a large part of that is thanks to you.
We’re so grateful for the peace of mind you've given us, and for the positive, supportive environment you've created. You’ve truly made a difference in our family’s life.

Padmaa created the perfect environment for our son. She provided exactly the kind of introduction to child care that we wanted for him. A caring home environment where he felt safe. He quickly felt at home with her and we knew he was being well looked after. Thank you for everything Padmaa!

My daughter has been with Padmaa for nearly a year now and I have never once regretted registering with her. It was out of desperation and great need I went on a childminding hunt and came across Padmaa on the website. I only had to read a few reviews and I trusted what I read, thank God I did.
Turned out Padmaa was a blessing in disguise.
Firstly, she has a warm and cheerful attitude that I know is a great deal when nurturing children. My daughter is always happy to be around her and I can always count on Padmaa for updates throughout the day as a working mum which gives peace of mind and contentment. Rest assured I know my daughter is safe and her daily needs are met. She is a picky eater, one of my major areas of concerns, but Padmaa tries her with varieties of food. The environment is safe and outdoor play is encouraged which is 1 of my lo fav thing to do.
Padmaa has been so understanding and helpful. My husband and I both work hectic jobs and it's really a blessing to have Padmaa in our life.
Hats off to a wonderful childminder ...thank you Padmaa for doing such a wonderful job with our daughter.

My daughter is with Padmaa since she was 1 year and 5 months and has been a year now. I cannot thank Padmaa enough for the motherly love, food, discipline, safe environment, and excellent care she is providing to my child since day one. First couple of weeks of settling period was a roller coaster ride for my lo. But she settled down quickly than expected (again a HUGE THANKS to Padmaa for her consistent & sincere efforts). My little one feels it's her second home and had never told me even once, that she is unwilling to go to Padmaa. That's a great relaxation for working parents like me. Padmaa communicates with us clearly about our child's milestones, behaviour patterns and discusses about combined efforts to nourish the child even better. She follows our instructions clearly about food options for the child and what we as parents wish to do when the child is sick and suggests' her opinions for a combined care. This helps us to be at peace all the time once we hand over the child in her safe hands. What's more can I ask for? Extremely happy and thankful for her service and I would highly recommend her service.

Padma is an amazing child minder. My went almost a year and adored her. She is amazing and adores children which I liked. I was very comfortable to hand over my 1year old son who settled with her in no time. She is good with kids. Also helped me when he was sick. She goes out of her way to make you and your child at home.

Padma has truly been the best caregiver I've found for my child. With her, he feels like he's at another home. She's incredibly sweet and adores children. The daily updates she provides about my kid are invaluable. Over the past 2 years, my son has thrived under her care, and I can confidently say she is the best. Her delicious meals are a hit with my kid, and she plans everything meticulously, from holidays to everything. She has lovely garden and play area which any child would love. My son loves her and her family so much and everyday he goes there with a very happy face.

I was so lucky to have found Padmaa she welcomed my energetic boy with open arms. I enjoyed ever experience with jamie in her care. She made him feel like he was her favourite one.
