We used Dinky Daycare for after school childcare for my daughter between the age of 4-5. Danila and her co-workers are warm loving people that are passionate about childcare and children's wellbeing. they provide my daughter with good care via setting up safe environment, providing healthy food, and go above and beyond by also focusing on her develop0ment by providing various reading, crafting, indoor/outdoor activities, taking her out to the parks to explore, bring in tennis / dancing teaching professionals upon on our agreement. My daughter absolutely loved Danila and Dinky Daycare. More than 1 year we left it now, she still mention them all the time and want to go back to visit everytime we go pass the premise. This probably speak for itself how wonderful this place is! Thank you for your love and care Danila!

My husband and I spoke to and viewed a large number of childminders and nursery facilities in and around Kingston but none had the right balance of both a homely feel but with plenty of individual attention and developmental opportunities. Then we visited Dinky Daycare and knew instantly that we had found where we wanted our nearly 6 month old son to go to. Clean and safe house with the most wonderful array of carefully chosen toys, books, games & activities. A large fully enclosed garden with sturdy cubby house and slide, children's swings and lots more plus plenty of space to crawl, walk and run.
Our son has been there for 6 months now and is approaching his 1st birthday and he loves it! He interacts with children of all ages and is always delighted to see Danila and Mateen! They have been a wonderful choice of childminder (caring, kind, informative) and have been able to also provide occasional ad hoc care when needed. We cannot recommend them highly enough and for anyone looking for a safe, happy and stimulating environment we'd strongly suggest visiting.

Our 2 children have been going to Dinky Daycare since January. They settled in well from the start. Danila and her family made a real effort to help them in the settling in process and ensure they have a fun time.
Our Younest goes to Danila every afternoon and not only has lots of fun, eats good healthy food but also learns good manners, and is doing very well with his numbers, letters and little words. Danila provides a real home from home, she is caring but can also be strict in a very nice way to ensure all kids are behaving well and learning good manners.
Our older child goes to Dinky Daycare 3 afternoons after school. They ensure that there are different activities which they enjoy and also helps her with her homework.
I would absolutely recommend Dinky Daycare.

My son is 4 years old and has settled so well at Dinky Day Care . . . so well that it's a struggle to get him to leave! Thank you to everyone for making him feel special and providing lots of educational fun activities. And a big 'thank you' from mum, for the wonderful home cooked food he gets.

At first I was very nervous about leaving my baby girl with someone outside of the family and I did a lot of research into childminders in the area. Danila got such excellent reviews that I decided to visit and immediately upon arrival I knew this was a place I would be happy for my 15 month old girl to be cared for on those days I needed extra help. She is a kind and caring lady who so obviously loves children and her home is immaculate, full of toys and has a really lovely atmosphere. She sends me photos, videos and updates when my daughter is in her care and is extremely professional, going above and beyond expectations. I actually live 20 minutes drive away from Danila but am happy to make the journey when I need childcare because I feel so confident my daughter is being well cared for there. I cannot recommend Dinky Day Care highly enough!

I chose Danila as a childminder for my son having seen her interact with other children that she collects from the same school. It was obvious to me as an onlooker that Danila loves children and is a very caring person. When I became in need of someone to collect my son from school and look after him until I return from work I immediately thought of Danila.
Danila has been looking after my son for a few weeks and already he loves her and going to her house. I feel confident that my son is well cared for by a kind, loving, yet professional woman in a warm homely environment.

I had the really stressful job of looking for a childminder when my little boy started school. As my little boy had already been at a fantastic private nursery since he was 7 months I thought anyone else would be a hard act to follow. How wrong I was!
Denila is a lovely lady who has welcomed my little boy with open arms. He loves going there and I feel happy in the knowledge that he is being cared for in a friendly and safe environment.
As well as all the other lovely children who go there, Denila's own children are often interacting with the children. This makes the environment very welcoming and a real home from home. There is always an agenda for the evenings activities and my little boys learns not only in school but after school. This makes me feel so reassured as I don't have long to spend with my little one before bedtime.
Whenever I am with other mums I will always comment on how fantastic my childminder is.
Thank you

My daughter has recently started going to Dinky daycare and I must say that she is extremely happy when she returns home. This is very satisfying for a working parent.
Danila seems to be a very pleasing lady who looks after the children with a lot of affection and personal attention. The atmosphere for the children is quite healthy and I would definitely recommend Dinky daycare without any hesitation to parents requiring childcare facilities.

Extremely flexible and very friendly staff. Danila picks my child up from school and provides a very friendly atmosphere. A big meal is also provided which saves me from cooking when I get back from work. My son never wants to leave the setting when I go to pick him up. Highly recommended!

My Son and my Daughter have been with Dinky Day care for over a year. We have been very fortunate to have found Danila. My children love going there. The kids are in a happy, safe environment and for a working parent it is very important to know that your children are taken care of so well . My daughter has been with Danila since she was 6 -7 months old. She has thrived over there. She is very happy to be there. My son loves it there as well. I have had no issues with this childminder. She has been brilliant at all times. We are very lucky to find her.
