I first came across Samiya when my mother met her at a playgroup and was really impressed with how she interacted with the children. After that I started sending my youngest son (who was 10 months old at the time) for 4 days a week until he was able to start nursery at a year old. Samiya has been an excellent childminder, even from the beginning she was very conscious of ensuring that she got things right, and tried to ensure that settling in went as smoothly as possible. She is very loving and caring with the children and I feel they get the benefit of more one to one attention they would potentially in a nursery. I like the fact that they go on daily outings as well and she tries to keep it as varied as possible. We even ended up postponing his nursery placement as we were so happy with the care that she was providing. I would highly recommend Samiya to anyone who is looking for reliable and caring childcare.
