Outstanding
The rating 'Outstanding ' is just not enough for our childminder Safina and Faisal . they are absolutely superb. My husband and I have been absolutely delighted by the standard of care. they have been looking after our son who is now nearly 3 years old .
their home is just the perfect setting. It is cosy and safe with lots of toys and games and books provided and a lovely garden with a sandpit, slide, trampoline, swing, water and washing pit, bikes and lots of other out door toys. they treat him like one of their own. Every day they fill in a diary updating me on what they've been up to and there's a real variety of fun learning activities, especially arts and crafts , music and educational activities like reading phonics and number stories . safina takes all children's out and about to toddler and music groups in local children centre and church. We regularly receive photographs which they have taken during the play with the other children and they always looks so so happy and content and busy. She also sends home artwork that childrens have done at least twice a week so our Kitchen is now like an art gallery. Since going to safina my son has really, really developed in terms of socialising, discovery, chatting , confidence and eating . I really believe that safina has played a huge role in his development. She's also gone the extra mile for us many times, keeping him a bit later at short notice or helping us when we were stuck for a babysitter, even running us all home when the trains were off. She always has new ideas of fun things to do with the children she's looking after. My husband loves picking him up and dropping him off as he says the lovely atmosphere in their home is exactly what is needed before and after a day at the office.
In short Safina and Faisal are everything that anyone could want in terms of childminder. I just cannot rate her highly enough. they are friendly, loving, creative, reliable and very quick thinking and level headed and a delight to be around, always offering first class standards of care and service
