We are so glad to have found Sumera to be our son's childminder! She is kind, considerate and caring, and is very engaged with our son. She works with him hands-on through a variety of activities every day, taking into account his learning and capabilities while encouraging him to try new things. These activities include baking, painting, colouring, messy play, outdoor play, trips to the park and walks around the neighborhood.

As our son is naturally very curious and enjoys learning, Sumera draws on her previous experience as a teaching assistant by providing our son with learning materials and activities to support his development and he comes home excitedly talking about things that he has learned such as the 'red words', spellings, number bonds etc. We also get regular updates on how he is working towards his developmental milestones.

It is very clear to us that our son enjoys spending time with her. He often goes running to her home, excitedly talking about how he is looking forward to activities such as colouring and baking. At the same time, she recognises when he needs some downtime and provides him with a safe and comfortable space to rest when he is tired.

Our son is also well fed each day with a variety of meals, and during the hottest part of the summer she made sure he was provided with plenty of cool drinks and kept comfortable.

We are very happy with the care she provides and would definitely recommend her to other parents.
