Rainbow Bears

A wonderful home from home.

We cannot recommend Summan and her husband Toqeer highly enough. My son started with them when he was just one, and my daughter attended after school from the age of four. From day one, they created a truly caring, home-from-home environment where both of my children felt happy, safe, and loved.
Summan has a real passion for helping children learn and develop through fun, engaging activities. She helped my daughter learn to read during Reception and encouraged my son to spell his name before he even started school. She puts so much thought and effort into supporting each child's learning and development.
The children are always out and about, attending different playgroups and activities, and Forest School is definitely the highlight of the week. We loved receiving regular photos showing all the exciting things they had been doing, and Summan was always happy to chat and share updates at drop-off and pick-up.
Summan and Toqeer have been such a positive part of our children's lives, and we have always felt confident that they were in the best possible hands. Our youngest starts school in September, and while it's an exciting milestone, we will really miss Summan and Toqeer. They have been a huge part of our family's journey, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have done for our children.

Fabulous setting

Both of my sons have attended Rainbow Bears and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. I found Summan via this platform to facilitate my son's before and after-school care, and I'm so glad I did. He has been cared for and supported like a member of the family. He had such a great time that I sent my younger son to be cared for at Rainbow Bears and it was the best decision I've ever made. He has grown in confidence and is so unbelievably school ready; he's been nurtured to be a happy, confident and eloquent learner. Rainbow Bears go out on different excursions every day, including Forest School one day which he absolutely loves. His learning has come on in leaps and bounds, through fun games and focused activities that Summan has checked to be in line with the way phonics are taught at the school he will be attending from September. Summan and her husband Toqeer love and care for the children as if they are their own and we are sad to be leaving.

A truly wonderful place & family

Where to start. Our little darling Grace started with Summan & Family in August 2023 as an 18-month old. We've been with the family for 2 years and it has been truly magical for both Grace and us as a family. From day 1, Grace has loved her time here, each morning beaming into the setting with huge excitement and leaving at the end of the day with huge smiles & with a happy story to tell. As parents we have felt so comfortable since that first day, with open communication and the feeling of utmost connection. Summan & Family have such huge hearts and it is so clear the passion they have for childminding and caring for others. We felt part of their family & to see Grace grow & develop the way she has during her 2 years has been a proud and thankful moment that we chose Rainbow Bears. See you soon, James, Grace & Family x

Excellent childcare

Our 7, 5 and 2 year old have been with Summan and Toqeer for a number of years and the experience has been really excellent. They settled in really well especially when they were also getting used to going to school for the first time. They’ve always enjoyed going and have got extra help with their reading. Summan and Toqueer do go out of their way to really get to know the children and be part of their lives. Would highly recommend.

Exceptional Childcare

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing care provided by Summan and Toqeer at Rainbow Bears. Our one-year-four-month-old boy was having a hard time settling in but thanks to their patience, kindness and expertise, he quickly adjusted and now absolutely loves his time there. Summan and Toqeer truly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and secure, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. The warm nurturing environment they've created at Rainbow Bears is a testament to their hard work and passion for childcare. It's been 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the care our son is receiving. We highly recommend Rainbow Bears to parents looking for exceptional childcare!

Feeling like extended family

Summan helped us with both of our children (toddler/ school age) in the past 4 years and her setting feels like extended home for my kids. They settled very well from the first week and learnt a lot as well as made many friends there. Summen is a great communicator, very dependable and also flexible in accommodating after school club pick ups. If your kids go to Goldsworth primary or you live nearby this setting is one of the best options for childcare arrangements.

Wonderful Childminder

My daughter started around a year ago (aged 1yo) and she settled so quickly. We have two older children and have always used childminders, but have never experienced anyone as kind and caring as Summan and Toqeer. This is the only childcare setting any of our children have attended without tears! Our daughter loves to go each day and is always full of excitement telling us about the fun things she has done. Summan is always so flexible and accommodating. She is also so easily approachable for any problems.
Our daughter has come on so much under Summan and Toqeer's care and guidance. She has increased in confidence and learnt important values of kindness and compassion as well as preschool education.
We cannot recommend the setting highly enough and feel so lucky that we were able to get a space with her. This family is one of life's good ones and we are so grateful for them.

Loving home environment

My daughter was at Summan’s setting from when she was 9 months old. She settled in easily and quickly got attached to Summan’s entire family! Summan and Toqeer provided a nurturing home from home, a structured and learning routine, took the kids to fun activities every day, and encouraged the kids to learn independence and self regulation. The icing on the cake - she taught the kids to be respectful, and to say please and thank you. 4 months after we left the setting to relocate out of Woking, my daughter still mentions Khala and Khalu 😊

Total package!

Truly the most homely, loving and welcoming setting! Summan started looking after my youngest when he had just turned 1 until he started at pre-school this September. He learnt so much during this time and his relationships with other children are positive because of Summan's care and kindness, nurturing the importance of communication.
Currently, my eldest son attends for wrap around care - before and after school. He always comes home with a smile and I know he's been given space to read it he wants to or encouraged to play with the other children.
I cannot recommend Summan highly enough!

Excellent and reliable childcare

My family have been with Summan since my eldest was in reception - she is now in Year 6. I am so grateful to have found Summan and feel very lucky that both my children have been looked after by her so well. Over the years it has become a home from home for them and they have been cared for with real kindness. It is great that school clubs can be accommodated for with later pick ups. We have really appreciated how reliable Summan and the rarity of being unavailable. The children have been given support with their reading and enjoyed being able to play with others and make the most of the outdoor space. Thank you Summan for all that you have done for us! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone who wants their child to be in a safe and caring environment.
