Faicka

Outstanding Tía Faicka

Our son attended Faicka's care from 1.5 to 3 years old, and these 18 months have been extraordinary.

Outstanding care & communication: They provided attentive, reliable care. Whenever our son had a fever, they looked after him with great compassion and notified us right away so we could act quickly.

Healthy habits & growth: We previously struggled with a picky eater at home, but their setting was a turning point—he started eating well and thriving.

Learning & social development: The mixed-age group helped him learn from older peers and engage with younger ones. His vocabulary, numbers, and alphabet knowledge developed rapidly.

We will miss them immensely and fully intend to bring him back during school holidays. Highly recommended!

Tía Faicka ❤️

I honestly couldn’t be more grateful to Faicka for everything she did for our daughter during her first 4 years.
She gave her so much love , care and attention and taught her so many wonderful things along the way. We absolutely loved the activities and all the little tasks she did with her, as well as how closely Faicka followed her development and learning.
Thanks to all the love , dedication and preparation Faicka gave her , my daughter started reception feeling confident and happy for this new chapter.
I would recommend Faicka a thousand times over. We feel so lucky that she was such an important part for our daughters early years and we always be grateful for everything she did for her.
We love you tia Faicka and we will always remember you ❤️

Thank you so much for this lovely review, it means the world to me.

Caring for your daughter over these 4 years has been such a joy. I’m so proud of her and how ready she is for reception , she’ll be amazing

Thank you for trusting me with her. I will always remember her so fondly. Sending you all so much love.

With love,
Faicka

Outstanding childminder

We looked long and hard before trusting anyone with our 10 month old son, and the moment we met Faicka we just knew this was the right setting for us. She is wonderfully caring, but what really sets her apart is how thoughtfully she supports his learning and development. He's hitting every milestone and clearly thriving. We get regular photos of what he's been up to, and you can see the love and thought that goes into every activity, whether it's a playful one or one designed to help him learn. As parents, there's no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe and growing every day.

Home from Home

My youngest had Faicka as a childminder from 2.5-starting school. Faicka was patient and kind and warm, I feel so lucky to have had her in my Sons life.
Through her Early Years teaching, my Son is fully prepared for school and was the first in his class to be given a book home to read. He is confident, and loves to learn.
I would get messages every day from her showing me all the activities he was doing, which helped me to connect with him when I got home. I cannot thank you enough Faicka. The Outstanding rating from Ofsted was completely accurate.

thank you this wonderful review

She was the best childminders for my daughter

Faicka was one of the best childminders my daughter has ever had in the UK.
Our story began when my family and I moved to the UK for postgraduate studies, when my daughter was just three months old. Initially, we placed her in a nursery for a couple of months, but we were not happy with the conditions. We felt that in a nursery setting, there were too many different carers, which made it difficult for a baby to build a consistent and secure relationship.
A close friend suggested that we consider a childminder, and that’s when we found Faicka.
From the very beginning, we noticed a big difference—not only in our daughter, but also in ourselves as parents. Let’s be honest, leaving your child for a full day, whether in a nursery or with a childminder, is never easy. However, with Faicka, our confidence grew quickly, and we truly felt we had chosen the right person to care for our daughter.
Our daughter became excited every day to go to Faicka’s home. We also really appreciated being able to speak with her daily and discuss our daughter’s development. Faicka regularly shared photos and updates via WhatsApp, which kept us fully informed about activities, meals, and daily routines. One of the most beautiful things is that, over time, we ended up with a wonderful collection of photos capturing our daughter’s growth.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Faicka. We will never forget the kindness and generosity she showed to both us and our daughter.
After nearly a year, we had to move to another area in the UK, and unfortunately, we had to leave Faicka. Even now, our daughter still remembers her fondly, and we keep in touch from time to time.
This experience showed us that when you find a great childminder, you not only feel confident and safe about who is caring for your child, but you also build a lasting relationship.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Faicka to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring childminder.

Amazing energy, the best early years provider

I was very lucky to have found Faicka to look after my little boy. She has taken care of my son from 9 months and they have developed a loving bond. She treats him like family, provides him with true care and love. My boy has been so excited to see her in the morning (which speaks volumes!). She has created a lovely learning and fun atmosphere for all the children. Including different themes and activities every week. It's always hard to leave your baby in care but I've known he was in good hands from the very beginning. He comes home a happy boy and is constantly learning and developing.
I couldn't recommend her care anymore!

Amazing in every way!

I'm forever grateful for the exceptional care and support Faicka has provided for my son from 1 year old to starting school. After an unsettling experience prior to her care, Faicka worked her magic, making him feel welcomed and loved almost instantly. She's created a nurturing environment where he's thrived, developing outstanding educational skills, such as writing his name, recognising sounds, and numbers ahead of his age. She's also instilled essential life skills like independence and self-care. What truly sets her apart is the emotional intelligence and kindness she's nurtured in him, teaching him to treat others with respect and stand up for himself. His excitement to go to her every day and huge respect for her is a testament to her dedication and love. Although I'm sad he's moving on to school, I know he's well-prepared thanks to Faicka. I wish he could stay with her forever! 5 stars isn't enough – she's truly made a lasting impact on my child's life.

Outstanding childminder

Tia Faicka, as my son lovingly calls her, is an amazing childminder. My son has been at her setting for over two years and he was very well looked after. The one to one attention he has received made a big difference to his confidence, reading, writing and learning abilities. She recently received an "Outstanding" Ofsted rating and rightly so as her dedication and hardwork with the children really shines through, she's truly amazing with children. Her setting has always been very flexible to accomodate my work schedule and I'm so grateful to her for preparing my son so well for school. He is now well settled at school and has learnt all his basics very well at her setting. I couldn't be more grateful for all her support which has helped us raised such a wonderful and respectful little boy.

Wonderful childminder

Faicka joined in looking after my son Alex since he was 1 year old, until he reached age of Reception. Faicka's extensive experience and always loving and positive attitude allowed me to very quickly trust her and create wonderful friendship. Faicka supported Alex in all his developmental milestones, allowing him to learn and flourish in the best possible way. Working along with another childminder, gave Alex the best start and I am so ever grateful for this! I would receive daily photo and video updates on activities. Alex always knew his daily routine, he felt very safe and happy in the environment. Communication with Faicka was always very easy, and any worries were always highlighted. Faicka delivers in every aspect of the childcare, providing safe, kind, loving, caring and fun environment for the child to grow and flourish.

The loveliest, caring childminder!

Our son was with Faicka for over 10 months and he absolutely adored her! She is so professional, caring and knowledgeable about what she does. She helped us so much as first time parents to understand our child’s development and she cared for him just like her own. If we hadn’t have relocated for far away, our son would definitely still be in her care. We love and miss you Faicka!
