Samia was my son's childminder from the age of 1 until he went to nursery and she continued to look after him around nursery hours until he was fully settled in. She looked after several children from my son's school over the years, so I've had the pleasure of seeing her there. I was really pleased to find Samia. When I met her I was an inexperienced mum, nervous about leaving my son when I returned to work. From my first meeting with Samia it was clear that she was very tuned in to children. She really enjoys her work and is alert to the individual personalities of the children in her care. She knows and is responsive to what interests them, or ails them, or comforts them. And, with her wealth of experience, she was a great source of support to me as a new mum! When I left my son with her, I always felt completely secure that he was in warm, kind, skilled hands and that he'd have a lot of fun. He thrived in her care. When he went to nursery and to school, he settled in easily having had such a stable, reliable, kind, and fun experience outside home.

Samia is fantastic with children and our daughter loves going to Samia. She always know ther'll be other children to play with and that she'll be served yummy home made food. We all envy Samia's culinary skills.
Samia is trustworthy, reliable, incredibly qualified and honest.
We can't recommend Samia highly enough. When we're at work we feel relaxed because we know that our daughter is in such a good capable pair of hands. Samia's also brilliant coming up with fun activities for the children and there's never a dull moment.
Samia's experience as a childminder is also very helpful for us as parents. Sometimes in life you get very stuck with tricky situations in regards to your child. Samia's our oracle. She always seems to know the answers and solutions to the problems. That is brilliant!
We're very blessed to have Samia in our life.

Samia looked after my daughter (now 7) from when she was 7 months old. We chose Samia because she seemed warm, caring and organised and so it turned out. Although we moved two years ago to a different part of London, we have stayed in touch and still see each other regularly.

Samia creates a loving home for children, plans what she will do with them, communicates well with parents and regularly takes children out so they can experience the world with her support and care.

I would warmly recommend Samia as a childminder to parents looking for help with care of
- babies and toddlers, and
- after school.

I would be happy to give more feedback if anyone wants to get in touch.

Samia has been looking after our daughter for 2.5 years, ever since she was 20 months old. Our daughter has really thrived under Samia's care. She is a well-rounded, clever little person and we attribute a lot of that to her time with Samia.

Samia does daily outings to libraries, play groups, sing & signs, parks, etc. She is incredibly proactive and plans activities around North London (Highgate, Archway, Muswell Hill primarily) for the children. She is always looking for fun and engaging activities that all of her children can partake in. Rain or shine, Samia prioritizes getting the kids out for fresh air and fun adventures!

In terms of food, Samia provides full meals and snacks for the children and is a wonderful cook. My daughter is constantly raving about Samia's yummy dinners of lamb stew, vegetables, and rice. Samia has even taken our daughter to her allotment to help her care for her fruits and vegetables which she feeds to the kids.

We absolutely adore Samia. She is like family to us and means the world to our daughter. We are so happy we found her, and will be sending our infant son to her as well in a few months.

Samia came highly recommended from 2 other parents whose children she cares for. Our son loves Samia and has wonderful times with her and the other lovely children she looks after. Samia is a warm, caring and reliable professional. She does varied activities with him and gives him high quality fresh home cooked food to a standard which I struggle to match at home. Samia is attune to my son's needs for rest and stimulation. Most importantly to me my son is happy and calm (most of the time) at the end of his day with her.

I do not hesitate to recommend Samia to other parents.

Our family adores Samia. She is reliable, engaging, has a positive attitude, and loving.

Our daughter has been with Samia for nearly two years - starting when she was 5 months.Our daughter always lights up when she sees her. Our daughter enjoys the play groups and bonding with the other children under Samia's care. She usually comes home singing or jabbering on and on about her adventures. I never worry about our daughter when I am working because I know she will be safe, well fed, well washed, entertained and cuddled.

We feel so blessed to have found Samia.
