When we met Suki we knew immediately that we wanted our then 10 month year old to join her. Suki was warm, very interested in her and our preferences, and was the only person to hold her when meeting.
Suki was a home from home for a baby with two teaching parents with long days. She updates us with food, nappies, activities and photos and talks through developments and concerns on pickup. With sickness, dietary changes and medication she has been really supportive.
Our little girl loves Suki and she is really the closest adult aside from us she has. A trusting and warm relationship was built quickly. We don’t hesitate to drop her off as we know she will have lots of fun with Suki and the others.
Suki also has an excellent reputation in the community as several people on my baby circuit spoke very highly of her before meeting her. It is well deserved. Snap her up if you need a childminder in the area!

We are so happy that we found Suki to take care of our son. Our son was with Suki from when he was 10 months old right up until he went to pre-school at aged 3. He was so happy with Suki and thrived in her care. He loved his time with her and her lovely family. Suki’s house really was his second home. He misses her and still talks about her all the time!
Suki is kind and caring and built a wonderful relationship with our son. She made sure to understand his routine and his personality, and he quickly settled with her. Suki always communicated with us about his development and talked through any concerns with us. We were always completely confident that he was in excellent care with Suki, which is invaluable as a parent.
We loved that he was able to experience the benefits of a small childcare setting, and still socialise with other children at different local groups that Suki took the children too, and by spending time with other childminders and the children they cared for.
We would recommend Suki without a doubt, and when we found out we were having another baby we asked Suki right away to hold a space for him too :)

Since we were both full time working parents it was very important we find someone reliable, caring, kind and fun to look after our daughter while we are at work. After searching and visiting numerous childminders I'm so happy and lucky we have found Suki!
Suki has been looking after our daughter Lexie for over a year and it has been amazing year. It was important that our daughter would get the home feeling at childminders. That's what Suki has done, she created safe, very caring and fun environment and it made me feel at ease to see our daughter happy staying at Sukis home.
Suki has been updating us during the day with pictures and activities kids were doing daily and would send us report at the end of the day what Lexie has eaten, how many nappies have she got changed.
She also gave us updates on her development. Kids don't just sit at home all day, Suki finds a lot of activities for children to do. Lexie favourite was visiting library and meeting other kids there, drawing and doing crafts.
Within very short amount of time Suki, Dave and Bobby became a part of our family. I could never thank Suki and her family enough for the care they have provided for my daughter with such a loving approach!
Thank you ❤️

Awwww, thank you for such a lovely review Jurgita, Lexie was an absolute pleasure to look after and we are all missing her lots! Xx
Suki looked after our daughter from when she was 9 months old for a year. We chose Suki because we wanted our daughter to have a small friendly home like placement so that she could form a secure attachment. Suki was always so reliable and our daughter absolutely loved her and her family. We often see suki out in the local community and our daughter is so excited to see her or family members.
Suki provided lovely home cooked food and nutritious snacks. Suki would send photos and updates which was very reassuring. There were lots of trips out to community events and museums, along with daily in house activities such as craft.
As a same-sex couple we found that suki approached events such as fathers day with whatever our wishes were and asked for how we wanted to celebrate it.
Our daughter is a bit of a character, strong willed but also has big emotions. It was lovely to see that suki fostered her character and our daughter is a very confident sociable toddler who knows her own mind.
We moved away from the area but will remain in contact with Suki.
We would not hesitate to recommend Suki if you are looking for a childcare placement. Suki will look after, nurture and love your little one as if one of her own.

Awww Alex, it was lovely looking after your daughter, we will all be extremely sad when you move xx
Out little boy has been looked after by Suki from 11 months old, starting during the pandemic and not long after lockdown. He had never been left with anyone else. Suki was fantastic at helping Max adjust and settle in whilst reassuring us at the same time. Max is nearly 2 now and loves being looked after by Suki. Her family have welcomed him with open arms and it has been a safe, consistent environment for him to grow in and have lots of fun too. Suki is very reliable, responsive to our questions and suggestions and keeps us updated with pictures and videos daily. Her reliability has been invaluable to us - we can always count on her. We really can't thank her and her family enough and i would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

Thank you Katherine! Max has been a lovely little boy to take care of, I will miss him very much.
My daughter was minded by Suki for over a year and we are very thankful for the nurture and care she provided. My daughter’s temperament was sensitive, perceptive and strong willed. She did not settle at her previous childcare setting and this was very stressful for us as a family. However when she went to Suki’s we were put so much at ease as we knew that Suki’s would provide the patience, love and understanding needed to help our little one feel at ease. Through time at Suki’s she came out of her shell and we saw a marked difference in how happy she was while we were at work. Suki has an in-depth understanding of child development and uses this to adapt to the needs of each child. She provides stimulating things for them to do and offers a range of nutritious meals. Suki works with the family and sends lovely photos and videos through the day. We love that Suki provides a natural home environment for little kids. Trusting someone with your child is a big decision and we are so happy to have had Suki for the formative years of our children’s lives.

Thank you so much Laura! Your daughter was an absolute pleasure to look after. We absolutely adored both her and her brother (but you knew that already) and we were so sad to see her go - but we not only miss the children but you and Maxim too - you both are such amazing people and lovely to work with - lots of love to you all xx
Our little boy thrived in Sukis small home setting, he was thrilled to see her and never looked back when we dropped him off at the door.
Suki provided him with a warm, safe and fun home setting which was the perfect option for us when I had to return to work. We would strongly recommend Suki to any prospective parents looking for a childminder.

Awwww, thank you so much for your kind review Natalie. We absolutely loved looking after your little boy, he has such an amazing character and filled our playroom with joy, we will miss him so much!
Our daughter has been going to Suki's for just over a year and we are delighted with everything Suki does for her.
We chose a childminder over a nursery because our daughter is a shy, cautious child and we thought that the home environment would be most comfortable for her. Suki, her husband and their two sons treat our daughter like an extended family member. She goes enthusiastically into Suki's home every morning which is a huge relief and comfort to us.
Suki is intelligent and personable. She is very interested in child development and undertakes additional studies to supplement her extensive existing knowledge. She takes the children on daytrips and to local playgroups, as well as organising craft and baking activities at home. Suki provides breakfast if needed and prepares home made, healthy food at lunch time.
Suki is reliable, flexible and easy to work with. She sends us updates and pictures by Whatsapp and does all that she can to match our daughter's home routine and preferences. On the few occasions that work commitments have necessitated an earlier drop off or later pick up, Suki has been able to accommodate this, which we have appreciated tremendously.
Since our daughter started going to Suki's, we have moved to another part of Manchester which has made the commute much longer, but we wouldn't dream of changing our daughter's setting as we don't feel that we could find any provision as good as Suki's. If you have the chance to send your child to Suki's you should definitely take it.

Thank you so much Katie! Your daughter was a pleasure to look after - we miss her so much xx
Suki is an absolutely wonderful childminder. She has looked after our daughter for well over a year now and we couldn't be happier. Suki has a loverly clean and tidy house packed with toys, which she rotates depending on the age of the children she's looking after. They go on outings most days; to the library, museums, parks and playgroups. She sends updates with photos and videos throughout the day of the many activities they do. My daughter is always happy to see Suki and her family and I think that is a testiment to the relationship Suki builds with the children. Each morning my daughter bounds in without a backwards glance. Suki is very reliable; working as a hospital doctor she has being amazingly accommodating of my shift work and early drop offs. She is a truly wonderful lady and we are so lucky to have found her.

Thank you Katy, your daughter was a pleasure to look after and I am so happy you chose me for the new baby too! Xx
Suki has been looking after our son for just over a year. Our son settled in to Suki's care very quickly, he adores her and her family. Suki attends toddler groups, ensures the children access the local community, and even ventured to the Christmas Markets. Straight away, Suki made us feel at ease and confident in leaving our son in her care, by updating us with how the session is going via Photos and Videos, that she sends to us throughout the day. Our son is always excited to go to Suki's to play. Suki is a fantastic childminder who is very caring and considerate of our child's individual needs. She is conscientious and keen to help our son develop and progress in all areas. We are really pleased we chose Suki to look after our son and we would highly recommend her.
