More than a childminder, our village!

After recently relocating to the UK and settling in London with our toddler, we were naturally quite anxious about this new chapter in our lives and how our daughter would adapt to so many changes.
Samia has been absolutely amazing!
From the very beginning, our experience with Samia has been wonderful. Within just a few days, our daughter had already settled in and was happily playing and enjoying herself!
In 8 months, our daughter has gone from being a shy and quiet little girl to a confident, chatty and outgoing three-year-old, and Samia has played a huge role in making this transition so smooth and helping our daughter settle in and thrive. She genuinely cares for the children, and you can really feel the love and attention she puts into everything she does.
Our daughter is enjoying so many lovely activities, from playgroups and trips to the park to visits to city farms and libraries. She's been learning, exploring, growing in confidence and, most importantly, she's happy! As parents, we couldn't ask for more.
Samia has also been incredibly kind, understanding and flexible with us, especially when we've needed to make last-minute changes to our schedule. This has meant a lot to us.
We honestly feel so lucky and grateful to have found her.
As young parents raising our daughter in a new country, without family nearby to lean on, they say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, Samia has definitely been, and continues to be, our village! ❤️
