Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Saira. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I met Saira back in 2018 when my daughter Alice was nearly 2years old and I have always found her very caring and very professional.
When Alice was in her terrible twos, Saira did an incredible job managing her tantrums and creating several activities to help channelling all that energy as well as improving her learning skills and abilities. Saira also used to provide healthy lunches that my daughter enjoyed very much. Last but not least, I have always loved that she has a dedicated space for the children with toys, books and enough room to play and that it is always incredibly clean!
In regards of the relationship with me, she showed to be really professional and with a great working ethic. This are all qualities that we shouldn`t take for granted.
Now that my daughter is in school and we have moved in a different area, she still asks to go to Saira during school holidays and spend time with her. I can tell she doesn`t see it as being in childcare at all :)
Overall, I feel that Saira has been an asset for my family over the years and when my daughter is with her I know that she is safe and having fun. I couldn`t ask for more!

My son has been going to Saira's for 2 years now, she is a wonderful and calm lady who has a great relationship with my son. He always comes home happy and tells me the new things he has learnt at Saira's house, which is a lovely and clean home. She is very patient with my son and i would highly recommend!

Saira is a lovely and calm childminder who has looked after my child several days a week for over a year. I was very nervous about using a childminder for the first time but I very quickly realised that my daughter felt safe, secure and happy when being looked after by Saira. My daughter loves spending time with Saira and her children and is always happy and excited to see her and full of smiles when we pick her up. Myself and my husband feel very lucky to have found Saira, she has been very flexible with the childminding hours that we have needed and we know our daughter is being well looked after.

Saira showed endless patience with my son for over a year. My son was 2 years old and very energetic, with some tricky to manage behaviours but with her set routines, extensive activities and love and patience, my son thrived in Saira's care. He adores her and still talks about her a year after leaving her care for preschool.
