We found Samia after visiting a few nurseries and when we visited her home we instantly knew this was the right place for our daughter. Our little girl started with Samia at 11 months and although the settling period was difficult for me, it was very easy for her. Samia treats her like one of her own. They go out daily, either to the park or to the library for story time or soft play. We get updates throughout the day and if our daughter is poorly Samia makes sure to do what she can to help. She gets lots of cuddles and we can really see how much Samia loves and takes care of our little ones. Samia has also given us so much advice and helped wean our daughter to have 3 meals a day with her delicious home cooked meals. We've also noticed how much our daughter has grown up whilst being there, it's so lovely to see. I wouldn't choose to go anywhere else!

We are so grateful to have found Samia. We received such a warm, kind, supportive welcome. Our son immediately loved her. She always makes sure he is feeling at home and safe. They go to playgroup and explore around! We are always updated on how the day is going which is wonderful. I recommend Samia 100%. The children are very lucky to grow up around her, eating home made food and having a beautiful time. Thank you so much Samia for taking such good care of our son.

Having our kids looked after by Samia is an incredible source of comfort and joy. There's nothing more important than knowing that your kids are with someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our little girl is 18 months and has been with Samia since around 9 months. She settled very quickly and loves going to Samia's house. It's a house of fun with her other little friends and we get lovely updates from Samia about what they're up to. The kids always have fun activities and are well-fed with healthy home-cooked food. Our 5 year old son goes there after school as well as on occasion in the school holidays and he loves it too. We're so lucky to have Samia in our lives and our kids adore her. Can't recommend her enough.

Our 2 year old son has been with Samia for 5 months and he absolutely loves her! Samia is so full of love, caring and kind. She allows all of the children to be the individuals that they are and supports them in any way that they need. Our son talks about her all of the time as well as all of the other children she looks after with him too. They all have so much fun, Samia takes them to fantastic playgroups, to lovely parks, to brilliant events at the local libraries as well as to city farms and anywhere else that she thinks they will enjoy. Samia also cooks amazing food, all meals are cooked from scratch and she often gets the children involved with the cooking too. We are so happy that we have found her, she is a vital and loved part of our family!

Samia is a wonderful childminder.
Our almost two year old absolutely loves her and it is clear that the feeling is mutual. She is well looked after and stimulated (she gets taken to lots of groups, play areas and outings) by someone who is clearly very experienced, kind and loving. Couldn’t be happier with the experience.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Samia to look after our little boy.
She has a natural warmth and care for the children which is so obvious to see and our little boy is always excited to see her in the mornings.
She keeps them busy at playgroups, singing songs, reading books and in the parks. We always get lovely WhatsApp updates about they’re up to.
Her food is wonderful - our little one now loves his food and I’m sure it’s all down to her yummy meals and homegrown ingredients.
Our little boy is thriving in her care and it’s lovely to see the bond they have formed. She’s incredibly reliable, very flexible and clearly sets high standards of care. Just completely wonderful!

We are so happy that our daughter gets looked after by Samia. We instantly felt comfortable in her house and loved how she interacted with our daughter.
Samia's approach is very intuitive and natural displaying her years of experience and professionalism. She offers a beautiful spacious setting for kids to play together and learn.
Our daughter has made her first friends and they have so much fun, visiting playgroups, going to the playground and eating Samia's home made meals.
I am highly recommending Samia and thank her for all of her support! It really feels like extended family. :)

Before starting with Samia we were nervous about how our 1-year-old daughter would adjust to going to a childminder after a year of lockdown and very little social contact. However, Samia was incredibly understanding and immediately put us at ease, and the settling in process went so smoothly! 6 months on and our daughter clearly loves Samia - she gives her a big hug when we drop her off in the morning and is always in a great mood when we pick her up. Samia regularly takes the children to local parks and playgroups, and sends us pictures via WhatsApp - which are always a delight to receive!
We are so happy to have found such a fantastic childminder!

We absolutely adore Samia! As first-time parents going back to work we were naturally a bit apprehensive about leaving our daughter but finding Samia has made the whole experience so much easier for us. She's warm, organised, abundantly loving and amazing with children. Our daughter (10 months at the time) had never been away from us due to the pandemic so we were really unsure how she would cope but Samia helped her feel at ease in a matter of days. Samia provides such a varied day of activities so the children are well stimulated. She's excellent at understanding their needs and keeping us updated so we feel connected with our daughter during the day. We highly recommend Samia! Her countless years of experience really show and gives us peace of mind. She's also an incredible cook - always makes healthy delicious meals, our daughter eats much better when she's at Samia's. Samia has a huge heart, boundless energy and is a pro multi-tasker, honestly don't know how she does it! We only needed a childminder for 3 days a week for 2 weeks but have kept extending our daughters care because she's so happy with Samia. You won't be disappointed with such a wonderful lady caring for your little one.

Samia has been looking after our son (now 2) for 2-3 days a week for just over a year now and has been absolutely wonderful. This was our first time contacting a childminder and she immediately put us at ease with her warmth and expertise. She provides a safe, caring environment for him to make friends and play with other children, eat healthy meals (we have no idea what her secret is) and get plenty of exercise. He loves spending the day there!
Samia was incredibly understanding and sensitive to our circumstances and has been extremely flexible. We can honestly say she saw us through 2020!
