Suki has been looking after our kid for more than two years now. We were so lucky to find her. As first time parents we were worried how our boy would settle in, but Suki handled it so skillfully and confidently, we have never looked back!
Our boy really enjoys going to Suki's every day, the days are well planned and structured, they do various outings during the week - play groups, library, parks and museums. Suki sends updates with photos, and it's so nice to see our kid interacting with the others (love the hugs and cuddles photos)!
Suki prepares healthy lunches for the kids, and has a good set up for naps. It gives us peace of mind knowing that the days are consistent and tailored around the kids needs.
And when we struggled with our very strong willed and determined boy, Suki provided really good tips and advice on how to handle some of the challenges.
It really has been like going to aunties house each day. We are really sad to be leaving.

I cannot recommend Suki enough. Both of my boys have been looked after by Suki and her family, with my youngest having just left after a wonderful time in her care. He started at 11 months old and settled in very quickly due to her warmth, kindness and gentle approach. As he got older, he continued to have lots of fun and make lovely friendships with the other children. He enjoyed all the classes Suki takes them to and always brought home different paintings and crafts. She is flexible when needed and always managed to help us out last minute when we asked. I have always trusted her implicitly and knew my children were in safe hands when with her. We will all miss her and her family. Thank you once again for everything.

When we met Suki we knew immediately that we wanted our then 10 month year old to join her. Suki was warm, very interested in her and our preferences, and was the only person to hold her when meeting.
Suki was a home from home for a baby with two teaching parents with long days. She updates us with food, nappies, activities and photos and talks through developments and concerns on pickup. With sickness, dietary changes and medication she has been really supportive.
Our little girl loves Suki and she is really the closest adult aside from us she has. A trusting and warm relationship was built quickly. We don’t hesitate to drop her off as we know she will have lots of fun with Suki and the others.
Suki also has an excellent reputation in the community as several people on my baby circuit spoke very highly of her before meeting her. It is well deserved. Snap her up if you need a childminder in the area!

We are so happy that we found Suki to take care of our son. Our son was with Suki from when he was 10 months old right up until he went to pre-school at aged 3. He was so happy with Suki and thrived in her care. He loved his time with her and her lovely family. Suki’s house really was his second home. He misses her and still talks about her all the time!
Suki is kind and caring and built a wonderful relationship with our son. She made sure to understand his routine and his personality, and he quickly settled with her. Suki always communicated with us about his development and talked through any concerns with us. We were always completely confident that he was in excellent care with Suki, which is invaluable as a parent.
We loved that he was able to experience the benefits of a small childcare setting, and still socialise with other children at different local groups that Suki took the children too, and by spending time with other childminders and the children they cared for.
We would recommend Suki without a doubt, and when we found out we were having another baby we asked Suki right away to hold a space for him too :)

Since we were both full time working parents it was very important we find someone reliable, caring, kind and fun to look after our daughter while we are at work. After searching and visiting numerous childminders I'm so happy and lucky we have found Suki!
Suki has been looking after our daughter Lexie for over a year and it has been amazing year. It was important that our daughter would get the home feeling at childminders. That's what Suki has done, she created safe, very caring and fun environment and it made me feel at ease to see our daughter happy staying at Sukis home.
Suki has been updating us during the day with pictures and activities kids were doing daily and would send us report at the end of the day what Lexie has eaten, how many nappies have she got changed.
She also gave us updates on her development. Kids don't just sit at home all day, Suki finds a lot of activities for children to do. Lexie favourite was visiting library and meeting other kids there, drawing and doing crafts.
Within very short amount of time Suki, Dave and Bobby became a part of our family. I could never thank Suki and her family enough for the care they have provided for my daughter with such a loving approach!
Thank you ❤️
