Abi has to be the best childminder in and around the Stevenage area.
We moved to Stevange about a year and a half ago and started sending my 18-month-old son to Abi when my wife decided to return to work. Abi was very welcoming and suggested a week of settling-in sessions for my son as he never stayed away from my wife and was still breastfeeding. She was accommodating to our needs like making sure our son got food of his choice and often discussed and helped us understand our son's growth and progress which was very useful as first-time parents.
We have seen our son learn so many things like Numbers, poems, alphabets and other activities like painting, colours etc. He enjoyed his time with Abi and always came home cheerful and happy. Special mention of him murmuring Abu's name (Abi-didi) all the time :)
Thank you, Abi for looking after our son!!

Thank so much for nice review 😊
I highly rate Abi as a childminder. My daughter is so happy and settled there and when she goes there she rushes in without looking back. She enjoys being at Abis. Abi is great and communicating on a day to day and sends pictures and updates. My daughter is well looked after fed and also has a chance to nap in the afternoon. I am really happy with her as she is doing a wonderful job.
I needed a childminder that was so understanding and flexible to accommodate all my needs and most importantly someone I could trust with my son. Abiq ticked all the boxes.
She gives me feedback on what happened with my son during the day from how much he ate to how long he slept during his nap time.
She even went the extra length to get the particular brand of yoghurt and fruit pots my son eats as desert.
I will like to add the fact that she and her family are an easygoing bunch.
Thanks for always being for being a great childminder Abi.
Taking my son to Abi is the best decision we made when he turned 1year old. Abi is amazing with my son and the other children. You can see how happy they all are and my baby is always excited when i drop him off. When he comes home he keeps calling her name (i'm not jealous at all 😊) Abi is amazing with these children and i live for those daily photos she sends to me. I would highly recommend Abi.
This lady is simply amazing! She really makes an effort to engage with kids and develop them in a very individualised way. My daughter has been going there for a year now and I couldn’t ask for a better daycare. Also my daughter has an advanced stranger anxiety and Abi managed it very well and helped my daughter overcome it so she doesn't have panic attacks no more! Please keep on the great job that you do. ❤
