I will definitely recommend Subha as a childminder. My son has been with Subha since he was about 1 year and 3 months. I knew things were going to work out as my son was happier here almost immediately and sometimes did not want to leave when we came for pick up. Huge contrast to his old nursery where he looked sad at pick up time. Subha was warm, loving and affectionate with him and that played a huge role in our decision to stay with her. He's 4 now and he adores Subha and her family. You can trust that your child is in excellent care at Subha's home as it's very spacious and the kids love to play in the garden. She keeps it spotless! It's very conveniently located to schools and parks etc. My son has made so many cherished friendships at Subha's. They are all very polite and well behaved and this is defnite testament to the groundings of discipline and good manners that Subha maintains with the kids. The wide ranging age group of the kids really helped my son as he doesn't currently have brothers and sisters so they are his family! He's more confident and self assured and I am sure the interactions with the kids has helped with this.
Subha is one of the most dedicated and flexible childminders out there! She rarely goes on holiday (although we have teased her that she should as it is well deserved !). We've used her for evening and weekend services and on the odd occasion she's been there for us for last minute emergency calls too.
She is very straightforward and direct which we like and this has helped in our relationship to address any issue's head on.
Sadly my son will be moving on to a scool that's not convenient for drop off's and pickups for Subha but we will still be using her services ad hoc for half terms etc. So we will be around for a while !
