My son gets excited every time he heads to Serina's home. He absolutely loves playing with all the trains in the playroom and has a blast with the fun outdoor activities in her garden. It's clear that Serina is great with kids—my son is learning so much from her, including a few words in Mandarin!
The meals at Serina's are fantastic; she not only makes homemade food but also offers healthy snacks throughout the day. My son also enjoys playing with Serina's children, who are so well-behaved and welcoming.
Serina has a special talent for connecting with young kids, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys being around them. We completely trust her and would highly recommend her services!

My daughter has been to Sarina’s place for 1 year. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to Sarina for looking after my daughter so well! My daughter loves to go to her place and enjoys playing with her other children and her family. Sarina's kindness and attentiveness are truly commendable. Every day she sends a lot of pictures to us, keeping us informed about the day's activities, and ensuring our peace of mind. In the morning, she normally takes kids to outdoor activities which is very good for their holistic development. My daughter’s favorite place is Williow Farm, and Sarina has the annual pass! She will always respect and ask our opinions when our child is involved in a new situation. For our family, Sarina is not only a childminder, she is more like a close friend to us. She offers a lot of help to us so that we can more focus on our work. She also shares her experiences with us on how to deal with some tricky situations, which is valuable for new parents. If I have more than 5 stars, I will give them to Sarina! Luckily to have her!

My daughter loves going to Serina’s home each time. She enjoys exploring lots of toys in the play room and likes the fun outdoor activities in Serina’s garden. Serina not only makes homemade meals for the children but also prepares healthy snacks. My daughter also learned some Mandarin words while she has been with Serina.
Serina is clearly a natural with young children and quickly builds a strong relationship with them. We trust her explicitly and would highly recommended!

My son and daughter love Sarina so much and formed a lovely friendship with Sarina’s children. Numbers of outdoor activities provided picnic, soft play and farm trip! Good teaching, Sarina offered phonics practice and numbers play every day.
My son enjoyed Sarina’s place more than his regular playgroup! Highly recommended!
