Our daughter has been with Neeta for the past 4 years and is just leaving to go to school aged 5. From the moment she started with Neeta we knew we had made the right decision.
Neeta goes above and beyond to ensure the children feel secure and loved and provides such a warm, family-feeling environment. It really does feel like a big happy family!
Our daughter has thrived in Neeta’s care which was the reason we kept her here until she started school instead of moving her to a pre school. The individual attention and care that each child gets is the reason why they all thrive.
Neeta has supported us as we navigated the early years as new parents and we have loved seeing our daughter develop and grow with the support of Neeta.
We honestly cannot recommend Neeta enough and we have done so to many friends whose children have also been looked after here.

Dear Sam,
Thank you so much for you warm and kind words. It has been a pleasure having Luna with us. We wish her all the best for the future and her new adventure.
When I went back to work after mat leave I was very worried about dropping off my little girl at a big nursery setting but could not afford 1-2-1 care. Neeta provided all the love, care and attention we could have possibly wished for. Now that our second child is old enough to leave Neeta's care we all feel equal parts incredibly sad that he's leaving and grateful to have had her and her lovely family in our lives.
Everything at Neeta's setting is excellent; from the food, to the garden, to the educational activities and the attention she gives every single child. As a parent, you can be 100% confident that at Neeta's your child will find the love and care they need in your absence.

Dear Hekate,
thank you so much for your kind words. It has been such a joy for us to care for your little ones and see them blossom. We will surely keep in touch and will be there for you when you might need us.
With warm hugs,
Neeta
Both of our children have been with Neeta from the age of 9 months. The eldest is now 4, and we were devastated to leave Neeta because we moved away from the area. Neeta's setting is wonderful - she has a wealth of experience, imagination and resources, is deeply committed to her charges and provides for each of them as individuals. She is tremendously supportive of our family (including wonderful care & assistance following the birth of our second child during the Pandemic), focussed on our children's development and keeps us up to date with pictures & ideas for them. She radiates warmth and affection, and our children have thrived in her care. We consider Neeta and her family to be part of our family now. We could not recommend her any more highly..

We looked into childminders when my 10 month son struggled to settle at a nursery and how lucky we were to find Neeta.
Her experience, wisdom and support were so beneficial. We found the setting to have a warm and family feel but with the structure and learning you expect from a nursery (if not better!). You receive great reporting and regular photos throughout the day which I love. He has had a truly happy and fulfilling time.
My son has just transitioned to preschool after being with Neeta for 2 years. I would say his confidence and ability levels are all down to the work by Neeta.
My son will continue to go in holidays and my younger son will start next year.

Dear Amy,
thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have your older boy with us and support him to develop and grow. We are looking forward to seeing him over the holidays. We are also looking forward to greet your little one into our setting next year. With warm hugs and kisses to our two little princes.
Neeta has child minded our son for the last two and a half years for 4 days a week. We rate her extremely highly. Our son has thrived in the warm, caring and stimulating environment she provides the the children under her care. She takes time to understand each child’s needs and areas to develop and is excellent at communicating with parents to update them on progress and with ideas to work on. She was very reassuring in the early days when our son began going to her setting and he settled in very quickly. She seems to have endless resources and toys and games to keep them stimulated and entertained but also to help them learn. The meals she cooks always look and sound nutritious and delicious and our son eats a huge variety of foods with her that he would never try at home! He has thoroughly enjoyed his time with her and has made very good friends. He has also progressed very well with his motor skills and speech and Neeta has ensured he is fully ready for the next stage of pre school. She also provides great flexibility which is very helpful for two full time working parents. We know we are very lucky to have her so close and to have the opportunity for our son to continue to go to her setting in school holidays. Thank you for everything Neeta!

Thank you very much for your warm words. We really enjoyed having your son with us and teaching him and supporting him to grow and develop so much, especially his speech and his gross and fine motor skills. It has been a joy to talk and discuss things with him and see him master complex movements. He is now a big boy, ready for new experiences and new friends in his school. Please share with us how the new chapter in his development will progress and send us pictures to see him grow. With warmest hugs to our big boy.
We are blessed to know Neeta and her family and have her play such a huge role in our daughter’s journey. Neeta is an extraordinary childminder, who looked after my daughter for two years. Prior to meeting Neeta I had given up on finding suitable childcare for my little girl but as soon as I met Neeta I knew we were in safe hands. My daughter settled in straight away and blossomed every day since and she is now starting primary school. My little girl LOVES Neeta and her family and smiles from ear to ear when she’s going there!
Neeta goes above and beyond being a childminder, as a mother she empathises with parents – she ensures that she fully knows each little one, their likes and dislikes, their needs and requirements and their families and she builds each day around them, their education and their wellbeing. It is a home away from home with individual care and attention. She is always professional and patient and gives of her time to listen to parents and to talk through each development and achievement of the children.
Neeta’s home is fully devoted to the children in her care with a wealth of toys, books, equipment and resources, both indoors and in her beautiful outdoor space which are regularly refreshed to keep children learning and exploring. All sorts of daily, well planned activities take place to keep little hands and minds busy and content. Neeta always sends wonderful photos and updates of what the children are doing each day. At the end of the week we get a wonderful weekly log informing us of everything that has been learnt throughout the week with a collage of photos so you really feel as if you are not missing out on anything. Neeta’s food is very popular with the little ones and parents. Homemade dishes are cooked and served freshly and all tastes catered for and it is always varied. Healthy snacks are provided also. If ever I had to pick up my little girl at an odd time etc. Neeta always ensured that she was fed and ready for wherever we were going.
Neeta’s hours are amazing and really suit working parents. She is also very flexible and understanding when things change at work last minute and I am so lucky that she has been so accommodating with us. Nothing is ever a problem/ issue and Neeta’s manner and approach is always calm and caring. She is an expert in everything and a master at paperwork too. Neeta has been a lifesaver and will do anything she can to help and support the children and their families; her knowledge is invaluable. We are so sad to be leaving Neeta and we can’t thank her enough or sing her praises high enough. An amazing childminder and person and highly recommended!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have all enjoyed so much having your daughter with us since she came to us as a baby and seeing her over the past few years grow, develop and blossom. We felt her love and we grew very attached to her. We are sorry to see her leave us, but she is a big girl now and we wish her many new friends and lovely warm experiences in her school with her new friends. We definitely hope to stay in touch and see her grow and develop further in her new environment. Please give her our warmest hugs and cuddles, and please share the occasional picture and message about our lovely baby.
We were very blessed to have found Neeta. She looked after our 2 year old son until he was 4 years old, and then our 9 month old daughter. We always felt confident that Neeta, and her family, would have our children's safety, physical and emotional health as her priority, which we knew from the happy little faces we saw when we collected them at home time. She definitely is very experienced, warm and caring, and she know alot about childrens needs. She is careful to accomodate each child's dietary needs, and she cooks amazingly. We are a vegan family, and she made sure to give them balanced meals. Thanks to her, we all love curries now as part of our home menu. She even came to give us a cooking lesson at our house, as our son loved her food alot, as did our little daughter. She has a very homely space indoors, and a lovely big play area outside. She accomodated our last minute schedule changes as best as she could, and her family are all so loving and involved when they are there. We unfortunately had to move, and sadly could not uproot Neeta and her family to come with us! We miss her and her family! Thanks for everything Neeta!! You're one of a kind!.......

For new parents like us it was such a relief to find Neeta! Not only does she know a lot more about raising children right than we ever will, she also genuinely cares and loves every single child in her care. As good a childminder as one could ever find. Highly recommended.

Neeta was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best decision we made. My daughter has been going there for almost 2 years and it's been an incredible journey.
From the start Neeta has always been very flexible and accommodating which was wonderful.
We all know it can be difficult to leave your little one in the morning but Neeta's house is filled with warmth, love and laughter which made it a lot easier for me.
She provides lots of different activities for the children and takes them out to the playground and the park. My daughter particularly enjoyed all the arts and craft there and playing in the garden, including the big trampoline, the castle, water play, exploring the herbs and plants and so on!
She provides lovely homemade meals and healthy snacks for the children. We really enjoy reading the weekly reports, full of pictures.
It's now time for my daughter to fly the nest and go to school, she has met some lovely friends there and Neeta will very much be missed. I would highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your kind words, having her was a true pleasure!
Neeta is a fantastic childminder and we highly recommend her. Our son, who is 2, has been coming to Neeta five mornings a week since June this year. Neeta is warm, friendly and full of enthusiasm. Upon meeting her, we could see she loves what she does and that she is 'all about the children' and helping them to blossom and develop.
Neeta's house and garden are full of toys and equipment for children of all ages to play with. Everyday she plans lovely activities for the children from arts and crafts, singing and dancing, baking to teddy bears' picnics. Neeta often takes the children to the park where they learn how to cross roads safely along the way.
Neeta cooks a range of delicious and healthy meals and has introduced our son to a variety of foods. He will eat everything at Neeta's but at home is incredibly fussy!
Neeta has created a Learning Journey of our little boy's time with her. She assesses him regularly and adds photos and comments of all his learning and experiences. We love receiving the folder at the end of each week to find out what he has done and achieved. She also sends us daily photos and updates on Whatsapp which gives us an insight into what kind of day he is having.
Neeta is extremely flexible and always fits in with our ever changing childcare needs. She is so supportive and willingly offers advice and suggestions, often going the extra mile to help us as parents of a toddler!
We are really sad to be leaving her but unfortunately we are leaving the area. Our little boy has been so happy with Neeta and we have seen him blossom.
Thank you Neeta for everything you have done for us and we will definitely miss you!

Oh, Kim, thank you so much for your kind and warm words. I really enjoyed having Josh with us and I know he had fun with us as well. I hope you will find great child support for Josh in your new area and that we will all stay in touch so that we can see how our Joshi is growing. With warmest regards and hugs,
