Searching for a childminder for my eldest almost 8 years ago, I was extremely lucky to find Sadika when we moved into the area. I knew immediately she was the perfect fit for our family from her warmth and lovely personality.

She went on to care for all three of our kids and I can truly say we were sad when we knew there were no future children and we wouldn’t have Sadika in our life on a daily basis - she really is that wonderful!

Sadika is a special kind of person - someone who truly gets to know and love your kids as if they were her own. She learns about them, their personalities, likes, dislikes, challenges, successes and truly provides a home away from home with all the love, care and nurturing you could wish for.

It isn’t always easy to find the right childcare setting for your kids but Sadika provided that for all ours - offering them a loving and safe home, a thoughtful and stimulating range of activities, toys and games that suited and developed with their changing needs as they grew. She prepared delicious, fresh and nutritionally balanced meals and snacks - full of variety and exposure to different tastes, textures and origins. She was respectful and flexible with all wishes and boundaries requested - starting from the settling in process, supporting me to meet their needs in a way that worked for us both, through to hours/days required as well as any specifics eg for us it was no refined sugar or very precise nap timings for one - always making it easy for us and double checking before proceeding with anything out of the ordinary.

Dealing with Sadika was a complete pleasure - she ensured we were kept fully in the loop with regular updates via photo and video so we were always aware what a lovely day our kids were having with her. She shared relevant details at the end of every session and we only ever felt she had our children’s very best interest at heart.

There aren’t actually enough positive words to describe Sadika - she truly is one of a kind - our family has been blessed to have her in our lives and we are so grateful that all three of our children benefited from her love, care and nurture for as long as they did.
