The best childminder
Our son went to Bharti's from the age of 16 months to 3 years and absolutely loved every moment of his time there. From the very beginning, he was welcomed as part of the family and he felt so comfortable and at home. As a baby born in lockdown who had previously limited social interaction, this emphasises further the extent of the warm, loving and welcoming environment that Bharti has created in her setting.
Over the course of his time there, our son learned and developed so much under Bharti's care. He enjoyed a great balance of activities - outside the home he attended local playgroups and went on outings including to the park and the library with picnics in the summer and lots of fun in the playground and time for fresh air and exercise. He also enjoyed the wide range of toys in Bharti's home and had many fun days in the garden on the trampoline and playing with other outdoor toys. He also enjoyed more structured activities such as painting - I loved to pick him up and see the creations he had made during his day that he was so proud of.
The food that he enjoyed with Bharti was another huge benefit - she homemade delicious and nutritious meals with a great variety and he would always come home very full and satisfied.
Bharti was always working together with us to support our son's growth and development, and was so dedicated in supporting him whether it be with developing his language or learning to use the toilet. I always felt comfortable communicating with her, and loved to receive photos at the end of each week that showed the activities he had enjoyed with his friends in the setting. If my son was feeling a little unwell or out of sorts on any day, Bharti would always message to keep me updated and reassure me that everything was going well.
I cannot recommend Bharti highly enough. She is kind, caring, organised, creative and welcomes every child as a part of her own family. We were lucky to have her!
