I cannot rate or praise Sufia enough no matter what I write in this review; she is THAT good. I have had a lot of trouble digesting the fact that my son would need to eventually go to nursery. Every parent knows the struggle of having to leave their child on someone else's hands and Sufia knew to soothe that anxiety in me. I tried taking my child to three well established nurseries and after a few "settling in" days I was running for the mountains (fellow parents, please look around when you settle your baby - you may find your baby been fed with the same spoon as other babies and even baby medicine stored in the visitors toilet - I did in an "outstanding" rated nursery and I was horrified).
I then figured that a childminder would give my baby more attention and care and I really valued the continuation of a homely feeling for my son. Sufia provided and keeps to provide exactly that since day one. The happiness on my son's face when I drop him is remarkable and he clearly shows how annoyed he is every time I pick him up since he does not want to leave. Seeing this really alleviated any anxiety I had about leaving him with someone else and I trust that he is having a lovely time there. I can see how Sufia managed to establish a strong bond with my son and my son demonstrates the same for Sufia; what else can you ask for. I love how Sufia gives parents time to chat about their child's development and update us on what went on during the day (literally everything, from food, sleep, nappies, issues; she covers all and even follows up with a text for your records). Sufia has also been sharing so many parenting tips with me which have made a significant difference to how I cope with parenting (well I am a new mum and everything new seems scary). I have one too many things to praise Sufia on and to be honest no negatives at all. Sufia is extremely professional, she has a wonderful children's area, she keeps the number of children low enough so that she is able to really be there for the children, she has an assistant that is also very lovely, in terms of cleanliness I am very satisfied (considering my own OCD nature) and most importantly - NO nursery germs!!! We are currently in the process of looking for a new house to move at and one thing we made clear with my husband is that we are not moving anywhere too far from this childminder. I think this last statement will give you the all reassurance you need.

Sufia has been minding my daughter for the past three years and I have found her to be extremely reliable and trustworthy. I have left for work every morning knowing that she is in a caring and safe environment. Just being around Sufia's children and also the other children she looks after has benefited her enormously and I know she is fond of all of them. I have found Sufia's home to always be a pleasant, stimulating and a clean environment. Their day is filled with a wide variety of activities which helps them learn and have fun at the same time. Sufia has taken my daughter on various days out where I know and feel confident that she has been well supervised and had a lot of fun.
I have found Sufia to be an extremely capable individual. She is caring and nurturing but instilled good discipline in our daughter and has a great sense of fun. Our daughter has developed into a confident, sociable and caring individual since being under Sufia’s care. Sufia also encourages learning in a fun way. The children are well prepared in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
My daughter has started going to school since the past couple of months. During our first parent’s evening, her class teacher mentioned that my daughter’s development is at par with pupils who are a year older than her.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sufia to look after your children. I was more than satisfied with everything she did with my daughter and all the advice Sufia gave me as a first-time mother.
We are very happy with Sufia’s childminding services and we miss her and her family very much.

Sufia cared for our son from the age of 11 months until he was 2.5 years old and he has thrived during that time. With Sufia and her family's help he hit all the important milestones during this time - from walking to eating independently and many more.
When I went into labour with my second, Sufia welcomed our son early at her house and took care of him during my stay in hospital. She helped make him feel comfortable and at ease during what could have been a stressful time for him.
Before he could even speak, our son would point to the door early in the mornings to signal that he was ready to go to Sufia's.
And last but not least, our son loved Sufia's home-cooked lunches and dinners. Not even my own cooking can compete now!

I cannot thank Sufia enough for her outstanding care and support.
As a first time parent you can find parenthood pretty challenging. Sufia has helped us go through this process smoothly and encouraging. She provided the best possible care and early education.
Thank you once again for helping my child grow.

Being a first time mum choosing the right child care for your little one is a challenging one.
We have gone through a lot of nurseries & nannies and then finally decided to go for a child minder since it gives a homely atmosphere for the kids , however choosing a child minder wasn’t easy too we visited so many places and at last we met Sufia.
At the very first meeting my mother’s instinct told me that she is the one Me and my dear husband bombed her with loads of questions but she was very patient and straight forward in her answers.
After our DD started off with Sufia our daughter has become very social, she talks and greets other people and her stranger anxiety is gone.
She is just 18 months old and can tell numbers, alphabets and to our surprise she can even identify them.
She plays well with the other kids and became very independent well-disciplined and well-behaved too like tiding up things, putting everything on the right place etc.
Her vocabulary has increased a lot and she can talk sentences now which was surprising for us.
She can identify colors and sing all the rhymes without missing any words, there are lot of fun and activities she does at Sufia’s place.
The things we liked with sufia is she is very flexible and understanding, with her level of experience she trains and mould the kids really well.
Her house is very neat and clean and well maintained and all her family members play with the kids too..
Overall we are very happy with Sufia and I’ve already decided to send my second baby as well to sufia

I began taking my son to Sufia's childcare when he was 2 years old and I am very pleased with how much he has developed!
Before my son went to Sufia's childcare he used to babble and was quite reserved when playing with other children. He has now improved dramatically in regards to his social interactions with other children and now speaks very fluently! (4-5 word sentences). He would always talk to me about what he has done at Sufia's childcare and would always has a smile on his face when he's there.
The communication Sufia has with parents is outstanding. Everyday I would receive a message telling me what my son has eaten during the day as well how many nappy changes my son has had. I was also very pleased with the food given to my son. My son was quite a fussy eater and didn't like to eat many fruit and vegetables, now he eats lots of fruit and vegetables without any fuss!
Sufia has helped my son to develop in so many ways. From the beginning, she set high expectations of behaviour, but also provided a safe, stimulating environment which helped my son to flourish in his speech and language, creativity, social interactions and independence.
I cannot recommend Sufia's childcare enough! Thank you Sufia and team!

Reason:
I was on maternity leave after my Little One and later took a sabbatical to make sure I spend time with my daughter atleast till she turns 1. My Little One was very social and open with adults however, when it came to kids, she would always take a back. Minimal interaction and quite reserved as if she had a sense of scare. Therefore despite being at home, My husband and I were looking to help our Little One develop through this.
It was then that we heard and read a lot about Sufia's child care through friend and so my husband and I decided to go and meet her. At our first meeting, our Little One was quite comfortable interacting with Sufia and so it was clear in our minds that we would send our daughter to Sufia for at least 3 days a week and this was mainly because we sensed a family kind of a feeling over and above the professional track record that Sufia has. We were introduced to her husband and kids during the first meeting giving us assurance around the safety of our child. We had no doubts whatsoever how our kid would fare up with the fact that parents are not around but were pleasantly assured by Sufia and family that she will be absolutely great.
IMPACT:
Our daughter has been with Sufia for just over a year and we are extremely thankful and pleased to send our child over. She maintains Impeccable standards of discipline and management of all her activities which are reflected on our Little One's behaviour whilst she is at home and outside.
Ensuring the safety and confidentiality of every child whilst enabling parents to take a peak into the day to day activities at her home is something that she excels at. For example; Sending us videos and pictures of our child's interactions and performing activities while ensuring that other children are not captured in the background.?
Play and learning times are fun and interactive but she ensures that the children are aware of the boundaries and maintains a disciplined decorum. Sufia's daughters also get involved during play time and learning sessions giving the children some leniency to express themselves freely.
Sufia's care is excellent and I'm never worried about my daughter's wellbeing as even during the most difficult times, Sufia's family stood by our family and provided great support. My Little One has always been a fussy eater and as she got to 16 months of age, she fell extremely ill. From the state of being anaemic, my Little One, all thanks to Sufia's hard work is safe and healthy. Couldn't have found anyone better. They are family. My daughter is now confident, pleasantly interactive with both kids and adults and disciplined.
Sufia, her husband and their kids are now more like our family friends rather than our daughter`s childminder. Kudos to Her and her team for this wonderful effort they invest in the kids. We were lucky to have another baby girl and without a doubt will surely be to going to Sufia's once she turns 1 in Aug !!

My son has been visiting Sufia for almost 4 years. He continues to enjoy his time with Sufia and her family especially playing with the older children (bringing toys and books sometimes during the week and school holidays). He especially looks forward to her home cooked meals as he comes home with a fully belly! He has become more adventurous with his food generally. During the school holidays they get to do lots of activities either at home (cooking, roleplay, arts and crafts, gardening) or at the park and local neighbourhood.
We trust Sufia, her assistant and her family to look after my son. Sufia is very professional, competent experienced and reliable.

Mrs Jaigirder has become a family over the last year since she has been looking after our daughter. Our daughter started going to her from the age of one and we can see her bloom in all aspects from the last year.
We are both professionals andr was looking for someone who could look after our daughter fulltime after my mother left UK.
I have to admit our daughter is getter better care than she would have received if I was looking after her.
Management:
Mrs Jaigerder is extremely organised and manages a routine with the children which contributes great discipline.
She maintains a separate folder with records which includes individual development records, emergency contacts, Medical information ect
She gives daily feedback on phone with their photos maintaining confidentiality of other children.
Teaching &learning, development and behaviour
She provides a learning and stimulating environment for children and therefore our daughter has stated to speak a lot earlier than her peers. She encourages children to progress on language and social skills.
They all play together and she promotes good behaviour with rewards such as tattoo..
She is strict with children not using any swear words, not watching too much television and encourages enducational activities.
Therefore all the children are very well spoken, polite and advanced than their peers.
The children have days where they take their own books and toys and share with each other.
Care quality
exceptional as my daughter is well looked after, groomed, well fed and rested.
Mrs Jaigirder involves her own family in the childminding and they are as caring and loving like her.She encourage the parents to interact and therefore we interact and therefore each family with different background contributes to any arising needs.
She is our family and we are extremely lucky that she agreed to look after our daughter and provides us with great support.

I have up until very recently used Sufia's services to look after my son.
During term time I have been very happy that he is in a warm home environment with other children to play with for a short amount of time and he has had a hearty Asian meal.
During school holidays, he had to do a variety of activities, indoor; cooking, arts and crafts, or outdoor; go to the park, library, role-play as well as bring his toys on toy day and books on book day.
As my son has been one of the older children he has brought books (Maths, English, science) to keep him busy and he is assisted by Sufia, her assistant and children with additional learning.
During special occasions e.g. Eid, Christmas, Halloween she has made extra effort to do really fun activities.
My son has been visiting Sufia for about three and half years. Over that time he has become much calmer and I think is because he is generally very happy. This makes my life much easier too! Sufia has taken time to address my son's eczema skin which has virtually all gone by ensuring that he would drink a lot of water and moisturised.
Eating healthily is also a major factor. Sufia is a good cook and makes a variety of healthy food. My son loves Sufia's food, particularly, chicken, dal and roti! I know that he eats well as he has a big appetite when it comes to Indian food versus other cuisines. Sufia always makes something different every day whether it's meat, fish and vegetables with rice or breads, pasta, fish fingers, etc. She doesn't give the children biscuits, crisps or sweets or sugary drinks but fruit and water instead.
Sufia has given me regular (daily) feedback on my son's progress, both positive and negative. If good she has rewarded with stickers or sometimes make some food he particularly likes. When addressing negative behaviour she has been polite, firm and professional.
My husband and I trust Sufia, her assistant and her family completely to look after my son and I think he feels the same. Sufia is very experienced and reliable and would recommend her to others. We will definitely continue to use her in the future when the time arises.
