Soodi and her team have been looking after our sons (3 and 18 months) for 7 months now and they are just amazing - we’re so happy we found them! The boys love going to Soodi’s and have so much fun there. Soodi comes up with so many different and interesting activities for the children (arts and crafts, sensory activities, music, celebrating holidays etc.) but also gives them lots of time for free play with really varied toys. There’s lots of education through play and the team make a real effort to adapt activities so they suit each child’s developmental stage which is great. We love that the children spend so much time outside in Soodi’s lovely garden too - there are even multiple paddling pools and sprinklers set up in the summer! We’re especially impressed with the brilliant trips Soodi arranges (sand pit, parks, farms, Kew Gardens, Bushy Park, etc.) - it’s great that they’re all out and about getting so many different experiences. The setting is lovely - clean, comfortable, filled with toys, but most importantly it’s so clear how much Soodi and the team love and care for the children. The boys are always excited to arrive and greeted with so much affection, and talk so often about Soodi, Maedeh and Arezoo. We’re so glad they’re being looked after so well!
Our daughter has been with Soodi for around 10 months now. From the start Soodi and her team have been amazing. They were both patient and flexible with the settling in period and did all they could to make our daughter feel comfortable. Over the past 10 months our daughter has developed in both language and interpersonal skills. Weekly our daughter brings home completed arts and crafts and we are sent pictures of her activities weekly.
We feel very lucky to have found Soodi and would not hesitate in recommending her.
The setting is bright, clean with plenty of toys. Our daughter is also regularly taken to parks and occasionally when weather permits they are taken to attractions that include Kew Gardens, Bushy Park and The Urban Farm.
She truly is one of a kind!!
Our daughter has been at Soodi’s setting for nearly a year now and we feel so lucky to have found It! Soodi and her team are absolutely amazing. They do so much for the children, they are constantly doing fun and engaging activities and also taking them on days out (which is quite rare for childcare settings to do).
Our daughter has blossomed in their care. She is such a confident and happy girl and absolutely loves going there. She runs through to gate into their arms everyday. she really loves them all and you can tell that Soodi and her staff genuinely love all the children.
We get loads of updates with pictures and videos of what the children are doing which is lovely. I highly recommend Soodi. The setting the lovely and clean, it’s such a fun and creative environment for the children and they put so much effort in to filling their day with fun and love.
Thank you, Soodi xx
We were incredibly lucky to have had Soodi and Angel Childminding recommended to us for our little boy, who was almost 7 months old when he started going to Angels'. The team is so gentle and loving, creating engaging and thoughtful activities for the children, centred around weekly topics which help them understand and navigate the world around them. I’m always so impressed by all the fabulous things Nico gets to try and the new skills he’s learned, and despite him being one of the youngest, the team always patiently helps him to participate and have fun with his friends.
The setting is immaculately clean, light and airy, full of toys and activities to stimulate and encourage development. It's lovely to see pictures of the children snacking on delicious fresh fruit and enjoying plenty of fresh air exploring the garden and local parks.
It’s truly heartwarming to see Nico clap and kick his legs in excitement when we arrive at Soodi’s every morning, a testament to how safe, secure and loved he feels with her and the team. I can't recommend her highly enough.
We really fell on our feet when we stumbled across soodi and her magnificent team. Our son stanley has been there for over a year now - four mornings a week - and he loves being with them. The attention to detail, creativity, gentleness and devotion is a joy to behold. Daily events and activities focused around seasons, public holidays, personal development and play are carefully thought through and conducted. Kiya and Maedeh, soodi’s co workers are outstanding too. Stanley runs into their arms and sometimes would happily just stay there when we go to collect him! Surely there is no greater testament to a group of childminders than your child wanting to stay when you go to pick him up!?
We would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone - he is looked after as though he is a member of their family.
When my son was 9 months old we began looking for some help during the week and Soodi and her team were everything we were looking for.
They offer a warm homely feeling for the children and they are so well looked after and cared for we couldn't have asked for anything more. The children always have the best time and keep us updated through out the day on the lovely projects and activities they have been up too.
We couldn't recommend highly enough, they feel like an extended family to us.
Our son has come on leaps and bounds since being at Soodi's, he's become much more confident and chatty with other children and adults, and his developments and skills are getting better everyday and I really have them to thank.
Due to unforeseen and sudden circumstances in my family, I was in urgent need of childcare for my 10 months old daughter. I had her registered at a local nursery to start a few months later, and once I found Soodi’s Childminder setup, I decided to have my daughter start there. I am so glad I did. The setup is absolutely lovely, it’s clean, safe, and a very friendly environment. The Childminders are all super loving and caring, and they genuinely care for the children’s well being and development. They have great activities organized every day for the children which makes them super engaged and happy. They also communicate so well about what they do and how the child is doing there. My daughter was always excited to go there and I absolutely recommend this place. Unfortunately due to my work situation we had the move and change my daughter’s childcare setup, and I am yet to find a place as good as Soodi’s Childminder. I knew at the time it was very good, but retrospectively after trying a few nurseries, I now know even more how fantastic it was and I wish we could continue there.
Our daughter has been coming to Soodi and her team after school since she started in reception. They have a lovely, caring environment and Kiya provides great one-to-one tuition as well to help our daughter catch up after all the trials of covid.
A lovely place, our younger daughter will be going too when she's ready!
Our son joined Soodi's setting 3 months ago at the age of 7 months, and we have been nothing but delighted with the care he has received. The environment is scrupulously clean, safety is assured and the resources are extensive. Our baby has formed a strong bond with the team and is always happy to be left with them, and they support us in helping him develop his skills. One of the things that has struck us most is how the children are taught kindness and consideration for each other, as well as all the EYFS requirements. We would not hesitate in recommending Soodi's setting to other parents.
After a sudden change in circumstances, we were in a difficult position of having to find childcare for our 12 month old at very short notice. Thank goodness I found Soodi and her wonderful team.
From the moment I walked into her setting I instantly felt assured that my son would be happy, nurtured, and above all, safe here. The work they do with the children on a daily basis is not only fun and creative, but educational too.
Soodi and her team are so loving towards our son, it really is so reassuring and heart warming to see. At pick up time he comes back to us as happy as can be which tells us he's had a good day.
They send us videos regularly and use a secure, online journal to track his development which we as parents have access to.
Soodi also has our 3 year old during the holidays and he absolutely loves it there and literally asks every day when he's going back!
Thank you Soodi, Kiya and Maedeh for the amazing care you provide. Our boys love you all. I only wish we found you sooner.
