Samia has been an absolute godsend for us and she has been an incredible carer for our 2 year old daughter and we only have positive things to say about her.

Helena was initially in a nursery, but we have found our experience with Samia overwhelmingly much more positive than with nursery. Samia really provides a home from home for the children and it is immediately obvious how much she adores the children and how much they adore her. She provides an incredibly happy and loving environment. One of the things that first attracted us to Samia (in addition to all the positive reviews) was her experience and this really shows and she has given us lots of wise advice. Helena immediately liked Samia and was never upset when being dropped off, which was very different to nursery. Her cooking is phenomenal and we could tell straight away that Helena was eating much better - the only problem is I think she prefers Samia's cooking to mine! Samia is always taking the children off for exciting outings, both to local playgroups and parks, and further afield to farms and museums. She is incredibly efficient, very flexible and accommodating and communicates very well, including sending lovely photos of the children happily doing things. She works incredibly hard, but never seems tired and is always enthusiastic and excited to see the children. She is also very reliable and we have never known her to be off sick.

We are incredibly pleased to have found Samia, and our only regret is that we didn't find her sooner.
