We’ve been sending our son Charlie to Syeda for 1 year and 4 months now. He started when he was 10 months old and he is now two years old.
Charlie took to Syeda very quickly in the settling in period and has been very happy in her care. He would march in each morning to give her a kiss and a cuddle. You can tell he loves her and you can also tell Syeda really cares about the children too. It's extremely reassuring as a parent to know that your child is not only in good hands but also very happy in those hands too.
We have watched our baby blossom into a proper little boy since he has been going to Syeda. He has learned so many new things from her and she always does so many activities and outings with them; lots of art and crafts and time outdoors when the weather permits. It’s lovely receiving progress feedback from her via the daily diary and the monthly written reports and photographs as well.
We have built a fantastic relationship with Syeda during our time with her and I really can't speak highly enough of her. I would recommend her to anyone. We are now leaving to start nursery and I know Charlie will miss her very much, as will we.

Needing childcare at the very last minute due to work commitments and not from London, I was worried about finding someone within a days notice, but having messaged Syeda she messaged me back very quickly and help me work out a rate and hours easily, she is so friendly and helpful.
On arrival she instantly interacted with my daughter and made her feel welcomed, you can tell she genuinely loves children and was so loving towards my daughter, each day my daughter was so happy and would always want to hug and kiss Syeda goodbye, it was a pleasure to see her so happy with a childminder, I can't recommend Syeda and her staff enough 5 star, I wish she could be my daughters childminder permanently but I'm from Bedford, but if I'm in London again and need care, I will only be calling Syeda.

We highly recommend the wonderful Syeda and her team.
We couldn't have been happier with the love and attention our 10 month year old received whilst in their care.
The environment Syeda has created is incredibly nurturing and stimulating, each day he brought us home drawings and the book Syeda made to document his time there was really heart warming, so lovely to see what he was up to on the days he was there and so happy!
Communication between us and Syeda was excellent and it felt very easy to discuss our baby's routine and his needs. It was an incredibly positive experience.

Syeda has looked after my son for a year (he's starting nursery) and I couldn't have found a more caring and nurturing carer for him. He settled in very quickly at 18 months and he adores Syeda and her family and her wonderful assistants. She provides a warm family setting and the children do a huge amount of arts and crafts – the artwork on our fridge is constantly updated!
I could see a big difference in my son’s development during his time there, not only because he was watching the older children, but because Syeda focuses on educational activities and creative play. The children also bake and enjoy playing in the park, when the weather allows it, and they go on frequent visits to local playgrounds and playgroups, in addition to toy libraries. Syeda can also be firm when needed, despite her gentle nature, and she always insists on good manners.
I really cannot recommend Syeda enough and I have no doubt that we will continue to use her services in the future.

We have chosen Syeda amongst many other childminders visited.
Syeda provides a clean and healthy environment where the children can develop their physical emotional and social skills.
The service provided is highly professional and there is a great variety of activities, both indoor and outdoor.
All activities, as well as the children's progress are well communicated.
Our daughter started in the service at the age of 8 months and we could instantly see that she felt at ease with both Syeda, her family and her lovely assistants.
Our experience with Syeda's services has only be positive. We highly recommend Syeda for the best possible start in life!

Our son is 21 months and has been in Syeda ' s care for about 4 months. I wish I had found her sooner! We are leaving because we moved to a new area of London but while he was there I really felt comfortable leaving him with her and her assistants. She welcomes the children into her family home with a warm and caring atmosphere. They have lots of toys to play with and her garden overlooks the park which is a nice area for them to play. He always came home with lots of activities he had done during the day and a book telling me what he had done. Syeda is very professional and provides personal attention to each child depending on their needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone living in the Hackney area!

Our son was with Syeda from the age of 11 months until 28 months and has just moved onto nursery. He settled very quickly with Syeda because of her warm, caring and affectionate manner. She is a highly professional child minder with many years experience. Our son learnt a great deal with her and really looked forward to his time with her. Syeda offers the children in her care a wide range of stimulating activities; play, creative and educational as well as numerous trips out.
We felt very lucky to have found Syeda - a child minder who made a real contribution to our son's development at such a crucial period in his life.

Thank you so much Graham for your kind words.
Syeda has been an incredibly warm, conscientious and engaging childminder for our child.
Having been at Syeda's from when he was 10 months to 2.5 years, my partner and I have seen him grow and learn so much from his time there, as well as make a number of new friends. We have always felt completely safe leaving our child with Syeda and her great assistants.
Her manner, and ability is second to none with just the right approach to parent-childminder communication meaning we were kept informed of what he was doing during the day, whilst also being able to provide notes of what happened at home so he feels connected. Syeda's place is always clean and tidy and her service is very well organised.
We can highly recommended Syeda.

I can't recommend Syeda and her helpers highly enough. Syeda looked after our son from 9 months old for 6 months - we only left as we moved out of the area. Not only did she run a clean, organised and happy place for the children she looked after, but she was also really loving to our son, affectionate, cuddling him a lot. As we arrived every morning he started smiling and getting visibly excited knowing he was going to be at Syedas for the day - thats all the proof you need!

Our son has been with Syeda for almost 2 years now. He is about to move on to nursery, but has loved his time with her and learnt a lot there. You can tell she really loves the kids and the result is that she is excellent with them - gentle and patient, but firm when she needs to be.
The kids get the benefit of a wide variety of activities (from crafts and messy/water play at her house to trips to the park, museums, children's centre's for various activities and so on).
Also very helpful for us as working parents is that she has always been very flexible with timings which makes life a lot easier.
Finally, she communicates well, from weekly/monthly reports to using whatsapp to send us pictures of particular activities as they are happening.
Over all, we can't recommend her highly enough and we will all miss her when our boy moves on.
