I’m a parent of a son who has been with Sumia, our childminder, for over 2.5 years, and I can confidently say it has been a wonderful experience.
When my son first joined Sumia’s childcare, he wasn’t very social or interactive. But over time, she helped him gradually open up by engaging him in a range of social activities — whether it was playing with other children, visiting the local library, or going to nearby parks. These activities not only helped with his social skills but also contributed to his learning and overall development.
Sumia has always shown genuine care and attention to my son. She worked closely on improving his communication skills, encouraging him to speak more confidently — something I didn’t expect from a typical childminder, and I truly appreciate her efforts.
She has always been very conscious about his health and safety, whether the children are playing in the garden or going out on trips. When my son turned 3.5 years old and started nursery, Sumia provided consistent and punctual pick-up service. I never received any complaints from the nursery, which gave me peace of mind.
I’ve always been happy with the way she manages his daily routine — from mealtime to nap time, and then play and reading sessions. My son has been in caring and capable hands, and I’m grateful for everything Sumia has done to support his growth and well-being.

My daughter started with Sumia in 2018 when she was 9 months old, and she is now 7 years old and brilliant in every learning area and same I started my son when he was 1, and now he is 4, going to nursery. Sumia is updating photos and messages via WhatsApp. We are involved in daily activities like painting, reading, circle time, etc. We discussed the learning and development of our kids every time. In specific areas, we work together on Communication, language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. My son is doing best because of her complex and honest work. Safeguarding levels are also amazing secure home. Provided healthy food.
I wish her a great future, and she needs appreciation 🥰for her hard work.

Sumia has looked after my Son 3 days a week for 2 years. My child required some specific requirements such as a seperate room for sleep, white noise etc. he was also a fussy eater and Sumia would show me what he ate daily and how much. She has been an absolute pleasure to have as a childminder. My child loves it there so much and we are really sad to leave due to moving areas. My child had grown extremely close with Sumia as her kind nature shows as she goes above and beyond to ensure he was content, slept well, ate enough etc; overall a pleasure to have as a childminder and the perfect safe space for a child.
Thankyou

Sumia does a fantastic job taking care of my son Ziyone Adam. Ziyone enjoys spending time with her both before and after his nursery. Since I have to go to work, Sumia drops and picks up my child from Fairholmes and keeps him till five o'clock. She feeds my kid, teaches English, and emphasises manners and hygiene in particular. At first, I felt bad for keeping my child somewhere else, but by deciding on Sumia, I was able to succeed with my choice. She is highly recommended since she's specially like a mom to kids.

She is very good , we came from India and it was difficult for my son to cope up. She was very calm and patient and took utmost care of my son. She took proper care and made sure he learnt etiquettes , she is very friendly and patient lady.
Kudos to her work and support she has provided to my son . I would recommend her for sure !
