I have up until very recently used Sufia's services to look after my son.

During term time I have been very happy that he is in a warm home environment with other children to play with for a short amount of time and he has had a hearty Asian meal.

During school holidays, he had to do a variety of activities, indoor; cooking, arts and crafts, or outdoor; go to the park, library, role-play as well as bring his toys on toy day and books on book day.

As my son has been one of the older children he has brought books (Maths, English, science) to keep him busy and he is assisted by Sufia, her assistant and children with additional learning.

During special occasions e.g. Eid, Christmas, Halloween she has made extra effort to do really fun activities.

My son has been visiting Sufia for about three and half years. Over that time he has become much calmer and I think is because he is generally very happy. This makes my life much easier too! Sufia has taken time to address my son's eczema skin which has virtually all gone by ensuring that he would drink a lot of water and moisturised.

Eating healthily is also a major factor. Sufia is a good cook and makes a variety of healthy food. My son loves Sufia's food, particularly, chicken, dal and roti! I know that he eats well as he has a big appetite when it comes to Indian food versus other cuisines. Sufia always makes something different every day whether it's meat, fish and vegetables with rice or breads, pasta, fish fingers, etc. She doesn't give the children biscuits, crisps or sweets or sugary drinks but fruit and water instead.

Sufia has given me regular (daily) feedback on my son's progress, both positive and negative. If good she has rewarded with stickers or sometimes make some food he particularly likes. When addressing negative behaviour she has been polite, firm and professional.

My husband and I trust Sufia, her assistant and her family completely to look after my son and I think he feels the same. Sufia is very experienced and reliable and would recommend her to others. We will definitely continue to use her in the future when the time arises.
