I couldn’t be happier with our childminder. She is absolutely wonderful – my two little girls love her so much and always look forward to spending time with her. They are always excited to go, never complain, and come back home happy and full of smiles. She creates such a warm, safe, and fun environment that makes the children feel loved and cared for. I can see how much effort she puts into engaging them with activities, supporting their development, and making every day special.
It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my girls are in such good hands. I can honestly say she is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely kind and caring. We are so lucky to have found her – I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Sumera is an amazing childminders for both my son and infant daughter. My son was extremely hesitant to go to any childminders due to a bad experience but now asks me to stay longer with Sumera and gets upset if I pick him up too early! My infant daughter has settled with Sumera so quickly and is eager to go in when I drop her off so I know she is happy there. Sumera has not only been there for the children but myself included- beautiful woman inside and out. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Sumera has been an incredible support and a real peace of mind whenever we leave our daughter with her.
She provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where our child feels happy and settled. It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to make children feel comfortable and engaged, and our daughter always looks forward to her time there.
We feel very reassured knowing our daughter is in such capable hands, and her flexibility is also a great deal.
We would happily recommend her to any parent.

My daughter has been going to Summer for 5 months already. My daughter seems very happy, enjoying, and well fed at her home.
Summer offers pick up and drop off from home and school, which is a great thing for some parents.
Due to my work, some days need extend childcare hours or sort notice childcare , Summer was always forthcoming and understanding.
I can highly recommend Summer and her husband

We’re so grateful to have found Sumera as a childminder for our 2-year-old son. This was his very first experience with a childminder, and he’s usually only comfortable with me, his dad and his sister. Sumera was absolutely wonderful in helping him settle into a completely new environment.
She created such a warm, safe and welcoming space that he quickly began to feel at ease. Under her care, he’s even started learning how to play on his own — something he hadn’t done before. We’re really impressed with her patience, kindness and the way she understands children.
I would highly recommend Sumera to any parent looking for a caring and supportive childminder.

My boy has been with Sumera since he was 9 months old, and he is now 5 years old. Sumera is very patient, kind, and flexible and she keeps me updated on my son's well-being. She teaches the school/nursery curriculum and keeps kids engaged. She is trustworthy and tested! My son continues to visit her on a regular basis. She will always be a part of my boys' lives.

A True Gem – An Exceptional, Supportive, and Wonderful Childminder
Finding the right childcare for any child is a challenge, but when your child is autistic, you are looking for more than just a minder; you are searching for a true partner in their care and development. We found that and so much more in [Childminder's Name].
From day one, she has created a warm, nurturing, and predictable environment where our son doesn't just feel safe, he genuinely thrives. It is the greatest feeling to drop him off in the morning and see him happy and excited to be there. He has formed a wonderful bond with her, and that is a testament to her patience, kindness, and genuine understanding of his needs.
What truly sets [Childminder's Name] apart is her collaborative spirit and unwavering reliability. She has always been incredibly supportive, listening to our requests and working with us to implement consistent routines and strategies that help our son feel secure. Whether it's accommodating his sensory needs or supporting his communication style, she has always been a fantastic partner.
Her reliability is second to none, which gives us incredible peace of mind as working parents. We trust her implicitly.
We cannot recommend [Childminder's Name] highly enough, especially to any parent of a child with additional needs. She doesn't just 'mind' children; she champions them. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our son's life and on our whole family.

Finding Sumera has been such a blessing for our family. She has truly become a second mum to our son, caring for him with so much love, warmth, and patience. It’s clear she treats the children as her own, and that gives us such peace of mind every day. Her wonderful family, including her husband, play a big part in creating such a warm, homely atmosphere where our son feels happy and safe. We are beyond grateful for everything Sumera does—she is one in a million.

I've been using Sumera for 5 years and I'm not sure how I would manage without her. She's really flexible, calm and patient, and I have never once felt stressed if I know the train is going to make me late for pick-up. Her husband is great too and does lots of the school runs. My son has always been very happy there. Highly recommend.
Thank you Sumera!

My girl went to Sumera for 2 weeks, total of 4 days.
Sumera was great at staying in touch with me, updating me on my girl and constantly reassuring me. She would pick her up morning and drop her off afternoon which was a very helpful service.
During those 4 days however I felt that the cleanliness have space for much more improvement. The condition of the toys were very poor and the walls/skirting/floor/carpet were very dirty and stained.
Walls had many drawings, which is understandable because she has kids there.
When I pointed out that the wall socket was exposed, she reassured me that its not Ofsted mandatory however for my girls sake she did make it safer by covering the socket, which we appreciated very much.
From that point, it was Sumera's care of Luna that kept us there for more days - she fed her the food I packed and she could very easily put her down for a nap.
Another thing that surprised me was that we didn't fill in any paperwork with our details, emergency contacts, allergies, routines or anything like that - there was no contract or any kind of agreement so was not sure what the obligations are and what we were really heading in to. As a new parent who never dealt with Childminders before, I would have expected the Childminder to manage this piece ( which our new childminder did) as we are new to this world.
Overall Sumera is the sweetest person, my girl by day 3 started to cry for her when she drops her off, however the place needs some attention in making cleaner and update the toys.

Thank you for your review I think I clear the things the soft toy you are tal
Sumera is one of the most reliable, professional and trustworthy childminders available in this area. She and her husband were really helpful when I was in need of a childminder to pick up my daughter from school and looking after her. My daughter was really happy and comfortable with Sumera. They made me go for my work peacefully as I was confident that they were looking after my daughter very well. I rate her service very high and recommend her for anyone looking for a childminder. What makes them different from other childminders is the fact that they do the pick-up service from school which will be of great help for parents who are working in the NHS and similar organizations.

Thank you so much for your kind words. 😊🙏
Sumera is the best childminder you can find! She is caring, warm, friendly and very reliable. Our twin girls started with Sumera when they were 4 years old and joined reception class at Watford field infant School. Sumera took care of their after school activities and cared of them full time during school holidays. Sumera was essential help for us during challenging year with lockdowns and we will always be grateful for it. Girls adore Sumera and her amazing family. We feel blessed to have met them. I would definitely recommend Sumera for someone who is looking for best care for their children!

Thank you so much for your review. Wish you very best in future. We really miss them, they was part of family
My son is 5 years old and Diagnosed with Autism. He usually does not do well with other children but, with Sumera, he felt at home right away, even on the first visit. He was always looking forward to go there and would even cry if the door is not opened right away for him to go inside. Sumera's family is very warm and let's my son do his own play. Sumera is quite flexible.
My son always like going to her and she is like a second mum to him because he is such a sweet boy and only has a select few people that he is quite comfy and at ease with.
Definitely highly recommended.

I can’t thank Sumera enough for rescuing me when I required very early morning childcare at short notice. She accommodated all my needs and my son loved being in her care ( must have been the cheesy pasta :-) He wanted to stay longer to play.
I greatly appreciate the fact she provides childcare 7 days a week and very flexible. I definitely recommend her services.

Sumera and Yasir have been an absolute delight. I started back at full time work and needed to find a childminder within two weeks. Just as I was beginning to give up hope sumera reached out to me and offered her services. They are friendly and kind, and make my son feel so comfortable in their home he never wants to leave. They go the extra mile, adhering to your change of schedule and never once make you or your child feel like an imposition. Highly recommended!

Sumera looks after my child once a week and I coulsnt be happier. My child is treated like part of the family and she absoloutly loves spending her time there, most of the time it's hard to get her to leave with me. My child is well looked after and settled straight away. It's so comforting knowing whilst I'm at work my child is safe and having lots of fun doing lots of exciting things.

On a short notice, I was able to get assistance from Sumera to look after my boy on Saturday morning at my own place. My son was very happy with her and she took him for his music lesson and completed all tasks I had asked her to go through with my son during the day. I am happy to recommend her to parents if any need for childcare is required.
