My Summary
About Me
Hi there, I am a proud mum of three to 2 teenagers and a five year old. I have been graded Good by OFSTED for almost 18 years as a registered childminder, 11 of which have been spent in Watford so I am very familiar with what the local area has to offer out to our little ones to help them enjoy their time in my care.
I believe children learn best through play therefore our days and activities are planned to ensure they have a full day/week of fun, both indoors and outdoors.
Our indoor activities are educational and fun and of course age appropriate to your little one, working within OFSTED's EYFS requirements activities are planned to suit your child with a wire range of toys, craft and garden equipment, my main priority will always be to make sure children in my care are comfortable and enjoying themselves in a home from home environment. Indoor play is paired with library and play group visit to encourage supervised socialising in the wider community. Our outdoor activities include exploring and playing in our local environments, green spaces and parks.
Thank you for reading my profile please continue for more information. My full portfolio with references/certificates are available to browse during our in-person meeting to discuss potential child care for your child.

Priti looked after my 2 year old for a while and she is the best person I have ever met. she looked after my son just like her own child and could see my son thrive there.
My son was always happy to go to her setting and always used to come home happy and singing.
My son was a bit fussy eater but she always made sure to provide a variety of food so he at least ate something and did not starve.
I always appreciate her and highly recommend her to anyone.

Thank you for writing the review Moushmi. I really appreciate the kind words.
Priti was our childminder (and 'borrowed auntie') for 6 years, having looked after my daughter and son. We had a great experience which was very hard to break when we had to move house. Priti is very caring, creative, versatile and very conscious of the individual needs for each child. Priti has great planning and routine setting skills to allow different activities to stimulate different areas of development (motor,behavioural, social and cognitive). My daughter was with Priti since she was 6 month old and although we were there for her as parents, we believe that her childminder had a crucial positive input to help her thrive and do so well when she started pre school. As first time parents we often had doubts and insicurities regarding our kids' development but Priti has always been open and available to discuss/reassure whatever concerns we had, giving us wise and knowlegeable advice.
We all had a wonderful time with Priti, as a family. She has been an important mark in my kids' development. Someone I was very happy and relaxed to leave my kids with and go to work knowing that they would be well looked after. I highly recommend Priti's care which we all miss.

Priti looked after my 4year for the past year. She is one of the most caring and nurturing people I have ever met. My daughter absolutely loved her! She is very calm and kind in nature. We are very sad that she is no longer our childminder (we moved away).

Priti is really an awsome Childminder, she has provided excellent care for my Daughter from since 9months old and she is now almost 2.
Priti has made my daughter feel at home and provides delicious home cooked meals for my daughter and she now eats almost everything and isn't fussy.
she has lots of fun and has learnt alot and has already started talking clear words and some sentences.
Priti ensures the children are comfortable with ample amount of toys and activities for the day.
my Daughter always comes home happy and full of Joy.
I cannot recommend Priti enough she's a wonderful childminder and a wonderful person. You and your child wont be disappointed with her service.
