Well what can I say......
They say it takes a village to raise a child and Samiya and her whole team are our village.
From the moment we met Samiya I knew my son would thrive under her care. Samiya and her whole team have been looking after my son since he was just over 1. Choosing a childminder can be difficult and stressful at times but Samiya made it so easy and stress free. When we came to visit her house my son immediately felt comfortable and at home.
Samiya was understanding and compassionate about my current situation and was eager to help.
Being a full time nursing student my times can be tricky but Samiya was very flexible and understanding which put my mind at ease. To be honest there was basically nothing we found hard to tackle.
She has been a prominent figure in my sons development and has truly shaped him into a wonderful young boy.
My son always looks forward to going to Samiya's house and he loves her and the whole team. He is constantly learning and enjoys all the wonderful days out that he goes on. Trust me they go everywhere - sometimes I wish I was him instead of being at work!
My son has had some wonderful experiences with Samiya - going to China town for Chinese New Year being one of his favourite. But trust me they literally go everywhere!!
I never thought I would be able to find someone so good and helpful especially being a first time mum you don't know where to look however someone was clearly looking out for us when we found Samiya. The whole team have supported us while I have been studying and in a way I'm actually so sad he has to start school and can't stay with them for longer. I can't thank them enough for how they have help, supported, loved and grown both of us! I will definitely be coming back if I ever have baby no.2 and my son will definitely be with them in the holidays.
