We had a fantastic experience with Deepa and would highly recommend her. We attended a wedding in Marlow and Deepa babysat our 8 month old baby for 8 hours. She was great at communicating beforehand, flexible and reliable, and our baby had a brilliant day with her. Big thumbs up!

Deepa is amazing & was a life saver when urgently I was looking for a childminder form my 2 year old son. She is extremely friendly and professional. After meeting her for the first time only my son looks forward to going there every day. Also, for the parents whose kids are new to childminder, you need not worry, for your kids will be safe and secure there. It’s a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop him off every morning-he will be well taken care of.

Deepa saved us! Our nursery had to close unexpectedly and Deepa agreed to accept our daughter on a very short notice. It was the first time for us using childcare but Deepa made everything so easy. She explained everything to us, was very patient, not only with our daughter but with us, helping with the paperwork, answering our questions and sending regular updates throughout the day. Deepa was extremely kind. Due to changes in our work schedule we had to change the drop off and pick up times in the last moment but Deepa was very understanding and made us feel comfortable. Our daughter liked the days she spent with Deepa and we would definitely call Deepa if we need help in the future

Deepa is one of the kindest people I have met. She agreed to look after our twin boys at the age of 6 months and in the middle of Covid. She opened the doors of her house and welcomed us in the nicest possible way.
She has been looking after kids since and encouraging their development. Every morning when I drop the babies off I have the piece in mind that they are in safe hands. She has helped us ensure that we provide the best environment for our kids emotional development. We cannot be more grateful to Deepa and her family for being there for us all the way.

Deepa has been a very reliable help with clear communication at all times to ensure everything runs smoothly.
What I like most is the fact that she provides regular updates via txt to let me know what the kids are doing. I have booked her several times and will continue to do so.

Deepa has been looking after my son as a childminder for a few years now. She is fantastic with him and I trust her completely. Deepa is very flexible in her approach and has often helped me out when I’ve needed her to look after my son unexpectedly because of work. She has also done babysitting for me - it’s great to have someone that my son knows and that I trust. I would highly recommend Deepa!

Thank you so much Emma for the review and your kind words 😊😊
I have searched childminder to look after my 6 year old girl during summer term break and she was the one I chose. I heard she is doing TA in a nearby school and she showed a credible manner when explaining her qualifications. She was good in telling me what my daughter did during the day. Overally reliable childminder enough to recommend.

Deepa has been a fantastic childminder looking after our 5 yrs old daughter. She takes care of picking her up from the school. Leaving our daughter with her means we have a peace of mind while we are away at work. I would definitely recommend her.

Deepa has been an excellent childminder. We sent our son to her for after school hours for around 2 hours and also during half term holidays. He has always been happy at her place and she is very caring and patient to him. She is an experienced childminder and a very good support for working parents. A true professional and very approachable and friendly and knows how to treat kids well according to their mood swings. Our son holds good rapport with Deepa including her husband and her kids and really enjoy being with her and always come home happy after spending good quality time playing. We are so lucky to find a suitable child minder like her with such a calm and affectionate nature for our son. Would surely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an efficient and experienced childminder in Maidenhead.

Deepa was an outstanding babysitter. She promptly replied to my babysit request which was less than a weeks notice. She also accommodated a Sunday request. We greatly appreciate her doing that. Getting all the details was a breeze as she was prompt with all replies to messages.
Meeting Deepa is a parents dream. It was obvious from the start how experienced she is at caring for children because she built a quick rapport with our daughter and also put us at ease. No need to bring anything to play with as her home is set up for kids; tons of toys and a wonderful backyard to play. She is a true pro.
She watched our child for 4.5 hours and was extremely flexible when we went longer than initially planned. If you need someone to treat your child as her own and do it with love and care, Deepa is your choice! She will be ours again in the future.

I have used this babysitter on several occasions and I am impressed at how much she cares and is concerned for the children under her care. Our little boy always comes home happy (having played happily) and rested. She is always pleased to see him. She has also done some very short-notice appointments when we were struggling with work, etc.

Deepa, has looked after my little boy since Nov 2015 when he was 15 months old and I can't praise her enough. She's a calm, attentive and nurturing lady. My little boy who can be nervous around people settled easily with her. I've trusted her enough to collect him from nursery and look after him into the evening including feeding him.
Trustworthy childcare is hard to come by and Deepa is a gem!!

Deepa took care of my 2 and half year old son for a few hours every Tuesday while I attended a course. I felt instantly comfortable leaving my little boy. Deepa really loves children and is kind and warm person. She has alovely home well set up for little ones. I would highly recommended Deepa to anyone looking for a sincere caring person to take care of their pride and joy.

Deepa is an excellent and reliable child minder. She took care of my daughter when she was 7 months old until my daughter turned 2 yr. She handled my daughter with lot of care and patience. There were some hard days with my daughter especially when it comes to eating habits and Deepa handled the situation very well. She is hard working and professional in her dealings with parents. Since, I moved from maidenhead to reading, I missed her. I truly recommend her as a very good child minder.

Deepa has been looking after my daughter for over a year and she is very happy in her care. Deepa is really good with her and makes sure that all her needs are met. She has a lovely home and everyone is welcoming.
I have recommended Deepa to other mums as I think she is brilliant with kids.
Thank you Deepa for being flexible and understanding with our daughter and being so much fun!

Our 20 month old daughter had a fantastic time with Deepa. We needed a one-off babysitter for our friend's wedding reception as we don't live in the area and luckily Deepa was extremely accommodating.
We went to see Deepa late afternoon on Saturday and our daughter felt at home with her within minutes which filled us with confidence that she was the right person to look after our precious little one.
Deepa has fantastic outdoor facilities which our daughter loved and dived straight into the ball pit when we went into the garden. She had lots of fun playing there which was really lovely.
Deepa cooked dinner for her before taking her to our hotel room to bath and get her ready for bed.
We returned to the hotel late in the evening to find her fast asleep. I cannot recommend Deepa enough, it's quite rare for myself and my husband to spend quality time together and on this occasion we felt extremely at ease knowing our daughter was in good hands.

I highly recommend Deepa who regularly looks after my 3 year old son.
Deepa is responsible for making meals for him, taking him on little outings such as to the park and for walks. I have have the highest confidence in her trustworthiness, judgement and maturity, and always felt at ease leaving my son in her supervision. My son thoroughly enjoys his time at hers and often asks when he can go back to play.
In case you have any questions regarding her work, please feel free to contact me.

Our 3 1/2 year old son was being picked up after his nursery and he would stay with Deepa till we picked him up. He loved his time with Deepa.
Deepa spent time with us in the beginning to make sure she understood all about our son and his personal needs. Little things like our child's favourite fruit was always given to him makes Deepa such a hit with kids.
Deepa provides fantastic service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a child minder.

We are glad to have found Deepa to baby sit our son, she is a very caring person and our son loves spending time with her and her kid. She is very attentive and goes that extra mile to make sure our son is happy and safe. She also accommodates our last minute requests as well?. The place has a separate area for the kids to play around which is completely child safe so as parents we can get on with our work knowing the child is well looked after. Glad to have found her and more importantly families have become friends as well now. Highly recommended, Thank you Deepa.
