Showmiya is a great childminder. Our youngest now 2 is going to go to nursery. She was there since 10 months old. It was the perfect place for her to grow and become a toddler.
Showmiya has this wonderful set up with a separate building at the back of her garden like a mini nursery with the home feeling full of toys, and some outdoor space.
Showmiya works with her mother, which adds to the home feeling. We trusted our daughter to be well taken care of, eating healthy home cooked food and just happy to go there like a 2nd family.

I had a last minute childcare need over the summer and was recommended Showmiya as a childminder for my 2 year old. I felt confident he was being looked after well and had a range of activities to enjoy during the day, as well as healthy home cooked food. He doesn't ever eat vegetables at home so that made me very happy! I also liked the comforting family environment she provides and I could see my son was happy there.

Showmi has provided exceptional care for our daughter. Lori has been going there since she was one and she has thrived. The setting is lovely, with each child having their own bedroom for nap time, child centred play areas (in/outdoor), a dining area and a perfect child friendly toilet and sink for potty training. Showmi and her mum Amama have provided a home from home experience for Lori. Her confidence has grown and she has learnt so much through the variety of play and educational tasks that Showmi organises for the children. Showmi provides a wide variety of food and snacks for the children. She has helped Lori potty train and weaning off the dummy. She is kind, caring and this is demonstrated through how happy the children are in her care. We will be really sad to leave Showmi and Amama as Lori adores them both. We are extremely grateful to Showmi and her family for the wonderful care they have provided for Lori for nearly 3 years, and the genuine love they feel for her.

I was recommended Showmi by a mum chat in New Malden and signed up straight after meeting her at her setting. Showmi together with her mum, Amama does a fantastic job looking after my LO. He started at 12months and we are leaving at 3.5 years as LO is joining a nursery school in Sep.
Showmi provides a good set up with individual sleep rooms/cot, child orientated dining/playroom, outdoor deck and home cooked meals. I felt that my LO benefitted from the family style care, the values taught and Showmi implements the early years foundation stage framework from the get go (age adjusted).
My LO will certainly miss the cuddles and kisses and attention he received there. He is ready to move to a bigger setting equipped with confidence, independence and a good foundation which I attribute to the wonderful care over the last years from Showmi and Amama. I would and have recommended Showmi for childcare needs.

We feel so lucky to have met Showmiya and her mother (mama) who were highly recommended to us when we were looking for a childminder for my son who was 14 months at the time. From the first initial meeting we were impressed by how settled our son was with showmiya and mama.
The setting is lovely and specifically designed for the children with little rooms for them to sleep in, little sink and toilet, an open play area inside and a small outdoor play area with toy cars.
Showmiya makes sure they all have a proper healthy home cooked meal at lunch and dinner and provide snacks throughout the day.
Showmiya and mama also take the time to work on the children’s development, making sure they are always learning things appropriate for their age. My son is now 3 and a thriving little boy who has gained so many independent skills all thanks to showmiya.
He absolutely adores them and we are sad to be leaving them for nursery.
I would not hesitate to recommend showmiya to any of my family and friends. She is reliable, flexible and supportive and we can’t thank her enough for all her help through the years we’ve been with her!

We send our son at Showmi’s and he enjoy going there and learnt a lot of new things. She cooks lovely food which he enjoys… also her flexibility has been a boon for us as we drive far for work…
I have peace of mind when my son is at Showmi’s.
I would recommend Showmi any parent.

We sent our daughter to Showmi when the previous childminder closed her setting and I was also at the beginning of my pregnancy. So it was not ideal situation to start with new childminder. However Showmi and her mother were really patient, slowly and firmly they helped her to become very confident. They are brilliant at fostering her independence (self feeding & dressing, self discipline at very young age). Our daughter enjoyed her time at Showmi’s setting very much, there were plenty of toys, cars, doll house and a trampoline. Showmi is an excellent cook, food is always prepared freshly on the same day. We are impressed by the incredible change in our daughter self feeding ability and a growing love for vegetables!
Showmi is a very experienced / caring childminder and is always willing to share her own experience through parenthood with us.
The setting is ideal for children under 3, the set up is adapted with small toilet, small sink, separate bedrooms and outside play area.
Highly recommend Showmiya! Great experience for our daughter!

I have chosen Showmi as my daughter’s childminder based on my friend’s recommendation (her son was going there at the time). It was a difficult time for our family as I have gone back to work full-time and my daughter had difficulty adjusting.
Showmi and her mom were so supportive and helped us through the transition by understanding the underlying issues we were facing.
They are amazing at fostering your child’s independence (feeding and dressing themselves) and their setting is set up for the children (small toilet, separate bedrooms, outside play area).
I would highly recommend Showmi to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and stimulating child care.

Our son started to attend at 16 months and she and her mum made him feel like home right away. She has created a very warm family atmosphere that the kids love.
I never had any concerns leaving my child in her care and when my son was with Showmi I knew he was safe and well looked after.
She is also a good listener and gave us lots of tips and good advice to support us through parenthood!
Showmi has consistently shown her experience in childcare and our son has developed a lot during his time at hers.
We definitely recommend Showmi and are so grateful and lucky that she has been able to look after our son these past 2 years.

Showmi looked after my daughter for two years between age 1 and age 3, and we were consistently impressed by her high standards of care and professionalism. The dedicated space for the children is excellent too.
My daughter loved going, and really came along in leaps and bounds attending this setting. She would come home telling us all about her day and what she'd been up to, and everything she'd learned. Showmi and her mum really fostered a sense of independence and responsibility in her too, she was putting her shoes and coat away etc from a very young age, and was so pleased when they taught her how to put the coat on by herself.
Her allergies were handled very well and communication with us was always good. I would highly recommend Showmi to any parents looking for childcare in the area.

Showmi has been my children's childminder for the last 5 years. My son was with her from aged 10 months until 4.5 years, my eldest daughter for 2 years and my youngest is currently with her now, also from 10 months. Both Showmi and her mum make a fantastic team, and all my children have been very happy in their care. I have always been happy with the childcare provided and the attention my children have received, hence why I have put all three of my children into Showmi's care. I have also recommended her to many other local parents and friends, as the environment she has prepared for the children is very nurturing. I am happy to continue recommending both Showmi and her mother as childminders, especially for young children. They're hugely capable and really enjoy spending time to help the children to develop and grow.

Showmi and her mum have been looking after my son since he was 8 months old. I have been really impressed by the high level of care they have provided- my son always comes home happy and he has learned so much while being in this setting (Showmi does a lot of reading and games with the children). A very happy and loving environment for children, like a home away from home.

Showmi and her mother have been looking after my son since he was 10 months old. Over the last one and and a half years they have helped my son develop many good habits in a caring family setting, where the kids would play with Showmi’s own children, who are wonderfully patient with young kids. Showmi always makes nutritious food and makes sure the kids eat balanced meals. I am so happy that my son loves Broccoli! We are very sad to leave Showmi and her caring mum, if I have a second child I will certainly send him/her to Showmi! Thanks very much for all the care and love you have given to Daniel!

Showmiya has looked after our daughter for 2 years and we are sad to leave her. My daughter learned so much at Showmiya's house such as putting on her shoes and clothes, table manners etc.
Showmiya is very interested in the physical and psychological development of our daughter and she always gives very useful and helpful advice.
Showmiya's son and daughter are very delightful children and they love to play with our daughter and other children. We have been very pleased with the level of care Isla has received over the past two years. Showmiya has been a fifth family member for us and our daughter has made great friends at her house.
I would recommend Showmiya wholeheartedly to others. Her house is very close to the New Malden station and great for commuters.

Showmiya has been looking after our son since he was 8 months old (he’s now 3.5 years) and our daughter for the last 6 months. Showmiya and her mother have been really lovely and caring to our children. They have set up their house like a home away from home. They are really patient with the children and have taught them to put on their own shoes and coat. The meals are amazing and the children really love playing with Showmiya’s own children too. I would recommend Showmiya to anyone looking for a home setting for their children . She’s also really conveniently next to New Malden station.

Showmi has looked after our son and daughter since just before they turned 1 and 3 and a year later we’re so sad to have to leave her loving care. She has taught them a huge amount including putting on their shoes (without a fuss) and their table manners has come on a lot! She’s also been really helpful in advising us if we need to concentrate on any element of development at home.
Her lovely children are so sweet and our two adore them. The garden is full of toys and the trampoline has provided many a summer’s day of fun. Showmi has always been really helpful if we need extra days here or there. I know from the big hugs they give her at the end if each that kids have loved their time with her.

Showmi and her mum have taken care of our son since he was 10mths. We are taking him out of her care only because we are relocating. We can only hope to find someone nearly as good in our new area.
Showmi and her mum (mama) have been very caring and loving towards our son. They have taught him very well, and he has learned to crawl, walk and talk in her care. He is very well behaved, and has come leaps and bounds in his education, learning new words all the time. Thank you for all your help Showmi!

Showmi has been absolutely perfect for our son who has been with her for almost a year (from 10 months old). Showmi is extremely loving and nurturing and this really comes through in they way she cares for our son. She’s also very focused on learning and development and has tailored her approach to our son who has needed extra support in a few areas. She has always gone the extra mile to support him to reach his milestones and has made it fun along the way. I don’t think Arthur would have developed as well anywhere else or felt as at home. I am enormously grateful for all the love she gives to our son. She’s an exceptional childminder.

Our daughter has been with Showmi since she was a year old, and thoroughly enjoys her time there. Showmi offers a wonderful environment for her to grow and develop, to interact with other children and to learn the skills to prepare her for school and beyond. Her literacy and numeracy skills improve on a daily basis and just as importantly Showmi shares and develops the same core values as ourselves. There is always time to play in the garden on the trampoline, in the house or even Richmond park. Showmis children are also wonderful and act as older siblings for all of the children in her care. We can't recommend Showmi and her family highly enough.
