Choosing childcare was quite possibly one of the scariest decisions my husband and I have ever made. We spent many months attending nursery open days, visiting potential childminders and interviewing nannies. We had almost lost hope when we stumbled upon Samia and we knew at our first meeting that she was ‘the one’ for us. She put our minds at ease instantly and our little boy was immediately comfortable in her presence.

Samia is such a joyful spirit. She is a ball of energy and takes her littles ones out every day. Unlike many Londoners she is un-phased by the weather and never lets it quash her sense of fun and adventure. I can’t count the times I have watched the rain drizzle from my office window and looked down at my phone to see an image of my little boy playing happily in a playgroup or at a museum. It always brightens my day.

Samia is also a phenomenal cook and (like me) she is very passionate about healthy eating. She cooks beautiful healthy meals using some of the vegetables from her allotment. My little boy is thriving under her care.

I can’t recommend Samia enough. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.
