Sure Beginners

Sure Beginners is the best

Dear Lucy,
I just want to take this time out to appreciate you for all you have done for my son.
I am not sure where to start from but .... my son was one when you started minding him, he could barely say more than 3 words but now he is a chatter box.
You potty trained him so well even when I was struggling with potty training, you went as far as buying me a second potty just to make sure that I was following through with the routine. I didn't know what routine was until my son started coming to you, thank you for making this easy for me.
You have made motherhood journey so smooth and enjoyable for me.
You cared for him like he was yours to the extend that whenever he is sad he will say he want to come to you.
You engaged him with a lot of activities during the day as this has reflected in photographs his actions and his words.
My son is only three but he way too mature for his age. He is smart, he talks about library all the time and there is barely any nursery rhymes that he doesn't know.
I am proud of him and all that he has achieved and I have got you to thank for that.
He struggled with his weight and you regulated his diet by incorporating plenty of fruits and vegetables - now the weight is right for his age.
You taught him discipline and how to share.
You always reward his good behaviour and correct his wrongdoing with love.
Thank you lucy. I recommend you anywhere and anytime as one of the best child minder in Manchester.
Many thanks
Sandra.

Best Childminder

Lucy is an exceptionally warm and approachable person, always ready to hear me out with any issues or concerns I may have. Her inviting nature makes it easy to open up to her, and she genuinely cares about what you have to say as a parent. Habiba was immediately drawn to her and adored her from the very first meeting. Her friendly manner and genuine interest in Habiba makes her a truly wonderful person to be around.

Hello Saly ,
It was nice meeting you with Habiba.
Thank you for the review I really appreciate, and also thank you for keeping to time dropping Habiba off for her settling session.

Thank 😃 you for taken your time to fill in all the information I need for Habiba progress.

Excellent

I haven’t been so lucky with Childminders until I met Aunty Lucy. Aunty Lucy and her kids bonded with my son so well to the point that I felt we were related in some sort. Very understanding, helpful, willing to share vital informations and most importantly always makes provisions to meet up to my every needs. She is someone that you can be at ease with knowing that your child is getting the necessary care as well positive physical and psychological development. I highly recommend!

Exceptional Childminder - Auntie Lucy

Auntie Lucy has been an invaluable part of our family. Her dedication to providing exceptional care for my daughter has truly been a blessing. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is not just a childminder but a part of our extended family.

Auntie Lucy's approachability and warmth immediately put us at ease. She has a remarkable ability to handle any situation with grace and professionalism. Her support in my daughter's education has been remarkable, and I've seen my little one thrive under her guidance.

What truly sets Auntie Lucy apart is the genuine love and care she has for all the children in her care. My daughter adores her and has formed strong bonds with both Auntie Lucy and the her childrens. It's heartwarming to see her grow in such a nurturing environment.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Auntie Lucy as our childminder. She goes above and beyond in ensuring my daughter's safety, happiness, and development. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a childminder who truly becomes a cherished part of the family.

Thank you, Auntie Lucy, for your exceptional care and unwavering support.

Sincerely,
Nelma

Best childminder ever!!

My daughter has been under Lucy's care for a few months now and I can honestly say, she is the best childminder I've ever known. She's so caring, she has a really good routine and she knows how important a routine is for the children, she has lots of fun activities planned for the children to keep the engaged. She sends us pictures daily on what our daughter has been up to as well which I love! Lucy also goes above and beyond for the children she cares for!

Home cooked food, very clean welcoming home, very quick amazing communication.

I'm so glad we found Lucy 😁

Thank you so much for everything!!

Senam best chilminder

Lucy and her team are doing a fantastic job. My princess loves this place and she is well looked after. Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better place than Senam Childminders. After three months Its been priceless to watch my baby develop many skills like singing , dancing, talking ,putting her shoe by herself, eating by herself while making a mess of the entire dining table 😂.
It’s the best place ever for my little one. I am very happy with their services and will gladly recommend them to anyone looking for same services.

Amazing childminder

I was adamant at first leaving my child with a childminder. But Lucy was so friendly, accommodating and reassured us that my Lillian will be perfectly fine. And she was right. Lillian loves going to Lucy's and she has learned a lot from using a spoon, counting and making animal sounds. It's so cute. Lillian is always happy when I pick her up and comfortably playing as sometimes I wait until she notices me so I have a bit of time to observe how she is at Lucy's. I highly recommed her. Plus, I love the daily report letters, take home cupcakes and pictures :)
