my 1 year old had such a nice few months with her. she always had clear communication with us, about food , sleep and activities. my little one was always happy with her.
I would highly recommend her.
My two daughters spend few days with Shilpi over Christmas period and they were so happy.
They got full bellies and a lot of drawing and activities during those days. Went to cinema and shopping centre. They're 6years old and 3 years old and they really enjoyed it.
It was super easy to contact Shilpi and to agree on terms. We have been using different Childminders throughout they years and she is one of the best ones. Will definitely come back if extra cover needed.
My 3 year old had been to 2 settings before, after moving to the area we chose Shilpi and by far it was our best decision. She was upfront with all procedures, costs and settling in stuff. Likes how she gave us the tour of her setting over video and then in person. My kid took over 2 weeks to settle with her and Shilpi was nothing but patient, considerate and supportive during this time. Now my child is happy and is learning new things every day with lots of outdoor trips as well as indoor. I would highly recommend Shilpi thank you for all your help .
She asked us to send our daughter early to settle. So we send her for extra hours She asks for extra money didn't even keep her for that long . And said ahe need more money and it should be in cash . I had feeling from start there is something wrong . Please ppl be careful.

Response by SHILPI on 19/11/2023:
This is an incorrect review as I don't have or had any parents where the child or parents' name is Tara . This is a closed account, and one can't even access this account . I have a waiting list, and I am full at the moment. by God 's grace . I have lovely parents I work with every day and most loving children, I look after full time .This is clearly a frustration of someone I declined for childcare . I would REQUEST EVERYONE who is looking for childcare to visit my setting , see my happy and safe setting , Talk to my current parents , see their recent feedback which I would share straight away, and DECIDE YOURSELF 💖.
Many Thanks
My boy has been more than two years with Shilpi. He started when he was 11 months old Monday to Friday.He loves her and her family. He’s made some good friends there. Shilpi is the most kind person. She provides fun and safety environment, lots of different activities. My boy comes out with a smile every day. She is totally professional and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
