When our then 18 month old was still struggling to settle at nursery after 6 months there, I was doubtful that moving him to a new place would do anything more than unsettle him further.

How wrong I was. Moving him to be with Syeda was the best childcare decision we (well, my wife) made. The difference in his happiness was clear from the off . Now he's three and moving to pre-school and it's been a joy to watch him blossom whilst being under her care.

It's clear that Syeda has a great bond with all of the kids she looks after and our little one is always excited to go in on a Monday and show her a new toy or tell her which train he's been on over the weekend. The kids go to the park/library/museum every day and when the weather doesn't permit it, he always brings back an art project that Syeda has had him working on.

As well as being great with kids, Syeda has always been super responsive with us and has agreed to evening meetings whenever we've wanted to discuss anything about our son's development with her.

We're truly grateful for how Syeda has looked after our child
