Gita has looked after our children for over ten years (the oldest child now ten, started with her at 7 months old) in total. Most recently, while our older children are now at school, she regularly looks after our 2 year old. She is fantastic - experienced, reliable (has never had a day off sick in all the time I know her), and most importantly has a natural affinity with children, who love her. She works from her comfortable flat in a small private block in chalk farm, where she has created a wonderful safe space for babies and toddlers with lots of lovely toys and activities. She is good at balancing structured learning through play with fun. I particularly like the way she provides a home-setting for childcare but with the advantage of having other children too. She is a very capable and energetic person, responds to any requests with flexibility and adaptability. She usually works with another registered childminder, which enables them to provide very individual care for each child. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
