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.
