Best child minder in London

There are no words to express how appreciative we are of Samiya and her team. I was lucky enough to come across her on my way to dropping off my daughter at nursery; every time I walked past her house, I would hear this bubbly, friendly person surrounded by children being picked up by their parents, and she always seemed so happy. I began to get curious with every passing day, and for me it was night and day when it came to pick ups compared to the nursery. I could clearly see that my daughter wasn’t as happy or thriving there as the children at Samiya’s.

Working 50+ hours a week and often having to make last minute arrangements, Samiya was incredibly accommodating and helpful, even though the transition from nursery to her place was very last minute. I could see a huge difference in my daughter’s demeanour, and it felt as though I was dropping her off with a family member.
I also have to add that, for a toddler, she had more of a social life at Samiya’s than I did haha with trips to Sky Garden and Chinatown. You can really see how much effort Samiya and her amazing team put into organising activities and events. They provide everything from nappies to baby formula and cook freshly prepared meals; my little one no longer came home hungry like she did when she was at nursery. It was also very reassuring to see my daughter excited to be dropped off to Samiya. I’m forever grateful for Samiya and feel extremely lucky to have stumbled upon her. It is so rare to find a childminder as dedicated and loving as she is. She used to be a school teacher, so she is very experienced with children of all age groups. We only had to leave due to relocating to a different country, and we will miss her terribly.
