I have now already my second child in Sufia's care 5 days a week between 8am and 6pm. He started when he was 9 months old and has enjoyed it ever since going there. He is always happy to go there in the morning and leaves in the evening with a big smile.

Environment
Sufia’s house is spacious, welcoming and has a wonderful garden equipped with toys. Thus, there is plenty of space to enjoy and play. It's also a save place for babyies and small children and Sufia is taking great care in keeping it a save and warm place that feels like family. Sufia is also creating a stimulating enviroment. Not only through play and activities but also through having a mixture of children of different ages. In a nursery children are separated by their age and babies usually cannot leave the 'baby room' before they are 2 years old. Instead at Sufia's there is a more natural, family like environment where all children of all ages interact. I believe this makes a big and very positive difference to the younger ones development and reflects my sons family structure.

Besides from stimulating and various day to day activities Sufia sets great standards to instill good manners and behaviours from the very beginning. If you worry about not getting routing in place for your baby or a messy eater? Sufia will certainly settled them down quite easily.
Sufia is also keeping the parents involved and maintains excellent feedback / communication. I also appreciate the very high health & safety standards.

And if all that is not enough, Sufia's husband and her own children all make my child feel as if he'd part of their family. The childminding blends in with the own family and this is what makes the whole a difference place to a nursery.

Development
My son didn't even need more than 1 day settling at Sufia's. I guess he knew that his mum made out a really good place for him. I was happy and confident with Sufia with my first daughter and so was my son. He has really blossomed in the last 2 years. For me it has always been the right settlement - not too big, not too small and with a few more play mates always around just the right place for a small person to grow confident with social contacts. Shame that the pets are longer there though. My son would have loved a rabbit or a bird in the house.
I also believe that the reasonable size of children compared to a nursery is the reason why my kids had very little coughs and colds. I also guess that the excellent food has done a great deal, too to keep my son and all the other kids happy and healthy. Shame there is no food for the parents left (I am serious!).

Professionalism
I am very happy I have found Sufia, and highly recommend her services without hesitation to anyone looking for extremely professional, qualified and loving childcare. I'd only wished that she'd signed up for the 15h free care as childcare is quite a financial burden with two children.

Sufia provides outstanding home from home care. Thank you team Sufia!
