Choosing someone to look after a much-loved child is daunting isn't it, but what a success! Our son was with The Raising Stars from the age of 1 and I'm so glad about it. Over the 2 years in their setting he has grown in so many ways that have been nurtured carefully by Sukeina and Fatima’s love and compassion. His days were always carefully curated and engaging to ensure that all of his developmental skills had space to grow. Through their loving care and teaching he is ready to move forward and take on new challenges with great confidence and enthusiasm. Thank you so much for giving Lucien a flying start!

I have only one child and it took me time to decide where to put him. I know that most mothers will be worried specially for first child . I was looking and doing search to put Him in a place where He will learn be looked after and have a good time .

Few people recommend childminder, As it s an easy way for kids to settle,

My Son start with Sukeina’s He was not two years when he started, She helped him settle in a week .

English is not our first language She worked really hard , everyday when I pick Him we would talk about what He learned what we need to help Him with , this way helped us all to improve my Son literacy and communication.
I honestly thought that my Son ok in general , but once He changed nursery I have noticed that He is well advanced comparing with other children . He communicate, speaks, share ideas and feeling , He even was spelling words ☺️.

I chose other nursery only so He can get a place in reception because the school I choose was a bit far and it s hard to get a place .
I felt a bit bad because My Son has dropped in the nursery where he is right now , His teacher are good though but they have lots of children and they are split to two groups so children don’t get enough time to explore ,learn , and enjoy every thing . I m working with Him so He can be better now when He is in reception.

I can’t thank Sukeina’s enough for Her hard work , I really recommend Her to my friends and family .

My son attended Sukeina's childcare provision from 9 months untill 3 years old. Sukeina is a highly skilled early years practitioner and is very passionate about what she does. The whole downstairs of her home is set out in a beautiful and engaging way for the children which I found to be a rarity when veiwing other childminders. My son enjoyed his time at raising stars and received an excellent standard of personalised care. Definitely recommend

Since my son started with Sukeina, she has become like family to us. She is hardworking, dedicated and is truly inspirational. My son had a speech delay at age 2 and half when he started with Sukeina. She went above and beyond to provide him with additional resources and a rich educational environment. In less than a year, my son had made outstanding progress. He is now thriving in Reception at school, and I truly believe that without Sukeinas care and motivation to make sure every child succeeds, he would not he where he is today.

Sukeina is flexible, and her learning environment is warm and nurturing. She provides nutritious home cooked meals, and is constantly turning everything into a personalised educational experience.

Now my little boy is still seeing Sukeina to support his phonics and learning in school. We are forever indebted for making us working parents feel so safe that our child is in excellent hands.

Thank you Sukeina!

It is with great pleasure that I write a reference for Sukeina Panjwani, who has been childminder to our daughter Darcy for nearly two years now.

Darcy joined Raising Stars just before her first birthday. It was difficult giving her into the care of a stranger at such a young age, but Sukeina immediately made us feel reassured with her caring and professional manner. Darcy settled in very quickly and has been happy to attend ever since.

As parents, the most importance factor has been picking up a happy child every evening. It is, however, also fantastic to know that Sukeina home cooks the meals for the children and ensures they have healthy snacks throughout the day. She takes them to library groups and the children's centre on a weekly basis, with frequent additional activities such as play dates with other childminders to ensure they are getting plenty of interaction with others their age.

Sukeina's Early Years Education background has become so apparent within Darcy's language skills, which we have had complete strangers comment on as exceptional for her age. It is clear that Sukeina takes time to sit and talk with the children, read to them and teach them basic maths and English every day.

Our decision to remove Darcy from Raising Stars is linked to a move of home. The process has taken longer than we had hoped and throughout this period Sukeina has been extremely accommodating, allowing us to extend our time with her on an indefinite basis so as not to unsettle Darcy any more than needed. As always, Sukeina has worked with us to prepare Darcy for the move, which will initially be tough for her as she will genuinely miss Sukeina and her friends at the setting.

We would like to thank Sukeina for her outstanding care of our daughter, and are certain that Raising Stars will continue to thrive.
