Deon

An exceptionally good childminder!

Our experience with Deon was 100% positive. She is warm, caring, responsible, knowlegeable and sensible.

Children flourish in her home environment where she cooks them delicious, healthy food, esablishes an excellent routine and guides them in their development and also their manners (my daughter became very polite). The home routine is balanced by lots of fun outings to the library, the woods (they tend to go to forest school once a week) as well as meet-ups with other childminders on a regular basis. That way, the children have ample opportuniites for socialising in a way that is less hectic that many nursery settings.

Deon is very good at communicating and always lets you know if she has any concerns about your child - if, perhaps, they have a bruise or rash, if they seem upset about something, if they are having trouble sleeping etc etc. She does not, however, overburden you with too much information and just gets on with the job that she does with confidence, integrity and grace.

We already miss her!

Amazing Child Minder.

Deon is an amazing childminder that was absolutely brilliant with my daughter Kayla and I cant recommend her enough.

My daughter (Kayla) started with her at the age of just 11 months until she was 3 years old and we really saw Kayla excel whilst in her care. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a childminder.
Some of the activities my daughter did included forest school, football and music.
In terms of learning when Kayla started nursery she had already learnt her alphabet and numbers up to 20.
During her time with Deon she developed a very confident personality which helped her settle into Nursery comfortably.

My wife and I were apprehensive about sending my daughter to a childminder but Deon helped us from day 1 by easing our anxiety and explaining what she did for the children and providing us with settling days to ease our daughter into her care.
Deon made me feel comfortable throughout Kayla's time with her and kept me updated throughout the day which made me feel so happy knowing that Kayla was having so much fun.

I now have a son and didn't have to think what we would have to do about childcare as my wife and I knew we would take her to Deon's due to how much our daughter gained from being looked after by Deon often Kayla would return home and tell us about how much fun she had and what she had learned.
We are at ease sending my son there and have 0 concerns I would recommend Deon to anyone who is looking for childcare and am happy we sent our first child to her rather than a nursery so that our children receive d plenty of attention in a great environment.

If you need a childminder then please do reach our to Deon you will defiantly not regret your decision as she is fantastic.

Thank you Fahri for your kind words. Looking after Kayla was a pleasure and we are looking forward to Ezel now joining our setting.

BEST childminder!!!

Deon is an INCREDIBLE childminder and I cannot recommend her enough.

My daughter (Kayla) started with her at the age of just 11 months until she was 3 years old and we really saw Kayla thrive whilst in her care. She goes above and beyond what you would expect from a childminder, from the fun outdoor activities such as forest school to football and music, to learning through fun activities meant that when Kayla starters nursery she had already learnt her alphabet and numbers up to 20.


I was emotional going back to work after maternity leave but Deon made me feel comfortable throughout kaylas time with her and kept me updated throughout the day which made me feel so happy knowing that Kayla was having so much fun. I have always gone to Deon with any questions I may have about my children, even until now! She always knows what to do and I don’t know what I would do without her. I now have a son who will also be joining Deon’s setting and I have to say, this time round I am far more relaxed about returning to work because I know he will be in the safest of hands and will have so much fun. If you need a childminder- look no further!

Thank you for your kind Words Jale, it was a pleasure working in partnership with you to enable Kayla to blossom. It was a joy to have her at my setting.

I am looking forwards to your son coming on board, I know he will equally enjoy making good friends and love all the activities on offer.

Best childminder ever!

Nothing then kind words for Deon. Our son was 9 months when he started with Deon in November 2019. Deon has provided a home away from home for our son and we feel very lucky to have found Deon. Deon has a very good daily routine for the children and also does lots of different and creative indoor and outdoor activities with them. The communication with Deon has been great and she always kept us updated on the latest developments. Unfortunately we are now leaving London and wish we could bring Deon with us. We would highly recommend Deon to anyone! Best, Remco &Mette
