Our daughter has been with Showmiya for alnost 3 months now, and we couldn't be happier with how things have gone.

From the very beginning, our daughter settled far more quickly than we ever expected. She has always been very attached to myself, her father and grandmother, so I was naturally quite anxious about how she would cope being away from us. To our surprise, she settled within just a few days and now genuinely looks forward to going each morning.

One of the things we love most is how warm and homely the setting feels. Having both Showmiya and Umama there creates a real family atmosphere, and I think that has played a huge part in helping her feel so comfortable and secure. It feels much more like an extension of home than a childcare setting, which has been wonderful for both my daughter and us as parents.

The bond she has formed with Showmiya and Umama has been lovely to see. She talks about them at home, is always excited to see them, and has clearly developed a strong sense of trust and security in their care.

We've seen her confidence and independence continue to grow since starting. She's learning new things all the time, her language is developing even further, and she's becoming more willing to do things for herself. We also love hearing about the activities she takes part in during the day.

One thing that has been particularly lovely this summer is seeing how much she has enjoyed the gardening activities. She comes home excitedly talking about the fruit and vegetables they are growing and loves spending time outside in the garden.

Most importantly, we have complete confidence in Showmiyas care. It's obvious how much she genuinely cares about the children and works hard to make sure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is somewhere they feel loved, secure, and excited to be.

We feel very fortunate to have found Showmiya and Umama and would happily recommend her to other families.
