My daughter started when she was 11 months old. I had no experience with a childminder before and hence I was quite nervous about leaving my child all day. But I have to say Sumona(Rafia) has been the most caring, nurturing and supportive childminder next to a mother to my child. She is a doting mother herself and that reflects in her nature and the way she looks after all the children in her care.
My daughter loves Sumona(Rafia).She is the happiest when she’s at her place with her other friends. She has a lovely time and frankly I’m sad now that my daughter starts primary school and will be leaving her care.
I never had to worry about her care, cognitive and emotional development or her health at any point as I always received detailed feedback with reports of her wellbeing everyday. Sumona(Rafia’s) setting is very homely, clean, extremely child friendly and she also has a beautiful veggie patch and my daughter learnt a lot about gardening, flowers, plants and caring for them.
My daughter loves her food and she has been a picky eater at home but never at her childminders. Overall I’ll say I was very lucky to have found her as I cannot imagine trusting anyone else as much as I trusted Sumona(Rafia) with my daughter.
