Sumayya is truly everything we could hope for to care for our son Sacha.
He is now 18 months old and has been in Sumayya's brilliant home nursery since he turned one.
He is excited to go to her with smiles and wide arms in the morning and he leaves grinning and giggling in the afternoons.
Communication about the day is excellent.
The resources, meals and activities are varied and impressive.
The environment is welcoming, safe and nurturing.
We could not be happier with the care received.
He struggled to transition out of being in only my care initially, and the patience, kindness and gentle persistence shown by Sumayya was so deeply reassuring.
We are so grateful for the socialisation Sacha is receiving in such a personal and supportive setting.
I would confidently recommend her without any hesitation.

Awww Sophia, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It truly means a lot to know that my care and service are appreciated. I’m so happy that Sacha feels comfortable, happy, and excited to come each day. Watching him grow, smile, and enjoy his time here has been a real pleasure.
I’m especially glad that the transition went well and that you felt reassured throughout the process. Supporting children and their families with patience, kindness, and a nurturing environment is always my priority.
Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting me with Sacha’s care. It’s a joy to have him here, and I look forward to continuing to support his development and happiness.

Thank you so much Shaf for your kind words. We know how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your little one, so it truly means a lot to hear that you felt comfortable and reassured. It’s been a joy watching your son settle in, enjoy his mornings, and build familiarity with other children and carers. We’re so grateful for your trust and are delighted to be part of his early journey under Summayya’s care.
We are very satisfied to have found Sumayya. Our daughter arrives at her place every morning with a smile, which is very reassuring and pleasant. She is surrounded by several other children and is therefore well stimulated. We fully trust Sumayya to provide age-appropriate activities as well as homemade meals.
We are informed every day about our daughter’s general well-being, what she has eaten, and her sleep. We also receive photos. Communication is easy and quick, and we can check in and get updates and details throughout the day. In the evening, we pick up our baby happy after her day and receive a short summary of how the day went. Additionally, Sumayya is also flexible when we have to change days/time and always try to arrange us.
We highly recommend Sumayya to take care of your children with complete confidence.
