We sent our son Rémy to Syeda's when he was 10 months old and never looked back. From the very first day, her warmth and care for the children has been second to none.

Syeda and her wonderful assistants took Rémy to on daily outings to music classes, the library and the playground as well as enjoying her welcoming home and outside space. Rain or shine, she would make sure they got out and did something or had a cute activity like painting to do if it was really too bad to go outside.

Syeda really has been a partner to us in raising Rémy, cultivating his love of reading and he often comes home singing songs he's learnt at the classes they go to. She has encouraged Rémy with making great friends with the other kids in her setting and at age 3 she has played a big part in shaping him to be kind, helpful and independent.

We had a negative experience of a local nursery with our daughter with constant staff changes and lack of communication but our experience with Syeda couldn't have been any different. Every morning Rémy is met with a warm hug from Syeda where he happily runs in. We get daily updates and photos of all the fun they've been up to that day. And over the weekend, Rémy is constantly talking about what he wants to show or tell Syeda on Monday morning.

There has never been a doubt in my mind that Rémy wasn't in the best hands possible at Syeda's. We're going to miss her so much and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to everyone and anyone.
