Our son has been very happy with Arju since starting with her nine months ago. She maintains a regular active schedule for the children and is always very accommodating with any requests. Our son has formed a warm bond with her and is always in great spirits when we pick him up. We would definitely recommend Arju to a friend.

From our very first encounter, Arju's warm and welcoming nature left an indelible mark. Her genuine kindness and nurturing demeanor are inherent to who she is, qualities that cannot be simply learned. She embodies the role of a "second mum" effortlessly, providing care that is both professional and filled with love.

Arju has been a steadfast presence in my son's life since he was just two years old. Over time, he seamlessly integrated into their family, blurring the lines between our two households. Together, we collaborated to create a nurturing environment that facilitated my son's growth. Arju, along with her partner affectionately referred to as "uncle," consistently went above and beyond for my son. I always had complete confidence that he was in the most capable hands.

With a spacious, tidy home and a generous garden, Arju provides an excellent environment for children. Her playful teaching style prepares children for the school journey ahead. Even now that my son is attending reception, I trust Arju to continue looking after him after school hours.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have Arju and her wonderful family in my son's life. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend her services.

Arju has been looking after my daughter since she was 16 months old .
Very caring,expeienced and proffesional childminder .My daughter always wants to go to her settings and enjoys paly and learning activities at her settings . I ike her big garden where my dqughter rode her fisrt bike and learned how to water plants .
I was reluctant to use a childminder in the first place .However my neighbour recommended Arju to me as she was the childminder of her 21-year-old daughter now .Very happy and satisfied with all the hard work she has done so far .My daughter is nearly 5 -year-old , attending reception now and Arju is looking after her before school,drop her at school and pick her up after school .I wouldnt be able to work full time without her help . Arju is now not only the childminder but also she is a family friend .
Big thanks to you Arju and uncle .

Arju has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old and she has been a fantastic childminder. What attracted me to her setting was the loving family atmosphere and that her husband and two daughters are so involved is looking after the children as well.

The setting is really spacious and there are lots of toys and activities, as well as lots of park and playgroup trips. Arju is extremely flexible and accommodating with working parents which has been really great for us as we are both self employed with changing work schedules.

The bond my daughter has with Arju has meant so much to us and we have always felt totally comfortable leaving her and confident that Arju will provide the best possible care. Sadly we had to leave because we moved out of the area, but our daughter still asks for her and we will definitely use her babysitting services. You can tell how much Arju loves children and I cannot recommend her setting enough!

Both of my daughters have been looked after by Arju full time, my eldest attended from the age of three full time, then part time after school until reception and my youngest from the age of one and she still goes daily part time.

Arju is a wonderful and experienced carer who also has help and support from her older daughters and husband whom the children all love also. After so many years doing this role, Arju is able to take everything in her stride and knows how to easily entertain, educate and soothe children.

Arju provides really filling meals for the children, with lots of veg. The home is clean and spacious and works well for little ones , they have a dedicated room to play in and the garden is huge! A great bonus in good weather, plus there is a nice park directly across the road. The children therefore all get lots of fresh air and activity - especially important during this pandemic when the children's centres are unfortunately closed.

Prior to lockdown, all of the children would regularly attend play groups etc for added socialisation. There are usually a contingent of 3 or 4 regular children in the home which is lovely as it provides friendships and good company but in a 'home from home' setting with one main carer, something you just cannot get from a nursery.

Arju rarely takes time off and holidays are well advertised so for a working parent this is ideal and her rates are good. My daughter honestly loves going to Arju every day and sometimes doesn't even want to leave!

We have had our daughter in Arju's setting since she was 9 months old (she is almost 4yrs old). We started settling her in slowly and then went to 4 days a week from 2018. What we love about Arju's setting is not only the excellent space she has for all the kids, but the fact that our daughter is part of the family, as are all the kids. I love that Arju's teenage daughters, when home from university, play a part in my daughters time there. As does her husband, Also, pre-covid, the house was always full with kids in the morning and afternoon as Arju did school drop offs and pick ups too. We loved that my daughter had plenty of other kids around, so feeling like she had that interaction and ability to develop socially, still with the family vibe that Arju's setting provides.
Arju is straight-forward and if you feel there are things that need to be discussed or any concerns you may have, she will always hear you and address things if they need addressing.
Even with my daughter starting school next September, I hope she still has some time at Arju's because she loves it so much and we trust Arju and the family to always have our daughters best interest at the heart of everything.

Having to find someone to look after our first child, we came across Arju and it was the best decision. Made us feel welcome and is natural with children. Olivia very much enjoyed her time with Arju, seeing how quickly she settled in, put us as ease not having to worry. She regularly provided photos etc of the activities undertaken.

A massive thank you. Should circumstances change would not think twice to contact and see if there is availability.

Our daughter has been with Arju since she was four months old. From the onset, we liked Arju as she immediately sought to bond with our daughter. Arju's service is, in our opinion flawless as she provides activities to the children in her care and is very nice with them. It is obvious, when I go picking up my little one, that the kids are very happy there while learning a lot at the same time. Arju's family is very nice and our little one enjoys being around them.

In short, I would recommend Arju to anyone looking for a childminder in Enfield.

I was very lucky to find Arju has a Childmider for my daugther. She is a lovely, caring and trustful person. Her family (husband and daughters) are lovely.
My daughter was very small (4 and half months) when I had to put her in childcare. Like every mother, I was very concerned but her adaptation with Arju was very easy and quick. Just after some weeks we started observing that she was developing faster and did interact more and more. The kids under Arju care are all very polite and behaved. They all seem very happy with Arju. Today after 2 and half years, I have a very happy daughter that I know she is loved and cared by Arju and all her family. Our problem know is to pick up our daughter from Arju place!
We highly recommend Arju. You are very lucky if you found her!
