We could not recommend Serin more highly for the wonderful care she has provided our son over the last few years. She is always helpful, creative and flexible in her approach and shows a real compassion for the children she looks after. She arranges indoor and outdoor activities. It is a difficult and worrying time leaving any child with somebody new however we would not hesitate to recommend Serin to anyone that has to make this decision.

Serin is a very down to earth childminder with great principles. We started to take our little one to her just before he turned one. He soon started to enjoy being there and now he doesn't even look back at daddy when he drops him but goes straight in to play with a big smile on his face. She's easy to communicate with and really puts our mind at ease. Our little one even found a sister and a brother in Serin's own kids as they really take him under their wings when they're around. 😊 It just feels like taking our son to his second family.

We have been with Serin since January 2017 just as our first son turned 1 and I was returning to work. Serin was brilliant at putting my mind at ease and the settling process was soo easy. We watched our son grow, learn and develop his social skills with the help of engaging activities and outings to keep him occupied and help him to flourish. Needless to say, when we had our second we didn't give it a second thought. Our youngest is now with Serin and equally enjoys his time there. She is flexible, a great communicator and has worked alongside Anna for a number of years. They are both soo passionate about caring for children and it is plain to see in the way all of the children in their care enjoy their time there. I cannot recommend it enough!

Serin has got to be the best childminder ever. I was very scared as a first time mum leaving my baby but leaning my boy with Serin was the best decision ever and I’ve never looked back. I have no worries when I go to work and I am confident in Serinwhen it comes to my boys care and needs. His development has improved dramatically too. I’m so glad I found Serin. Thank you for everything.

Serin has been AMAZING since the very beginning when my daughter was 6 months old. Very accommodating with our personal needs and ever changing schedules. My little one Loves Serin and all the children that attend under Serin's care. There is not a day that goes by that she doesn't talk about Serin and her friends there. Serin makes all the children so welcome and us parents have piece of mind that they are well looked after. Serin has made us all feel like family and not just services that she provides for our children. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Serin is great, my little girl gets excited when we pull up outside and when I pick her up she's always happy and has had a lovely day. This is all down to Serin's warm nurturing of her - so important to me as a mum. She provides lots of activities for the children and my daughter has developed so much since she started going to Serin 6 months ago when she was 10 months old. Highly recommend - don't know what we'd do without her.

My 18 month old son has been with Serin for the last 6 months. Since the very first day we have had no problems with him settling in and Serin and her assistant make children feel very welcome.
She encourages kids' development through different activities (manual activities, sing along groups) and keeps the parents on track. She is very easy to communicate with and respects children's routine or special requirements.
Serin lives on a quiet street and her house has a garden where kids can play which is a big bonus. She also organises a lot of outings for them so plenty of opportunities to get some fresh air. They also attend different play groups and keep the children busy and engaged.
I would highly recommend Serin's childcare.

Serin is an excellent childcare provider. My daughter has been in her care from 7months old, she is now 13 months old. From the first settling in session I knew that Olivia was in great hands. She is excited to see all the other children and cannot wait to leave me in the mornings.
Serin and her assistant take the children out regularly on trips to various places. I like the variety that Olivia is exposed to and how it furthers her development.
Olivia has learnt so much in the time that she has been with Serin.
Overall both my partner and are very happy with Serin, her setting and the level of care that she provides our daughter. We would be lost without you!

Serin took really good care of my 5 month baby! Was my first time when I left my baby on someone else care and I was a bit scare, but Sherin made my worries to go away by texting me, sending picture,giving me good advices (being my first child) and the most important thing: my baby was happy!!!

I have been extremely happy with the care Serin provides. She is excellent with my little girl and always keeps the children entertained and happy. My daughter have made great progress whilst in Serin's care. Serin's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor activities. I know my daughter has recently enjoyed drawing and sticking, sand and water play, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my daughter receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping her develop into a confident and self assured little girl.
I would absolutely recommend Serin as a great and reliable childminder.

Serin has been looking after my son for nearly 3 months and hopefully more months to come. She's very accomodating, has a lovely house and does her best to work around my working hours. My son enjoys himself which makes me happy.
Would recommend :)

Serin has been looking after our 16 month old son now for 4 weeks. From day one he settled in very quickly and has a very happy time there. Its a very happy household and my son has a great time there playing and interacting. It has also bought his speech due to playing and the activities Serin arranges.
I would highly recommend Serin as she is kind, flexible and treats Albert ( my son ) as one of her own.

I discovered Serin through childcare and since she lived close by to our previous address, I initially used her services for babysitting now and again. My two sons (2 and 4) were quite comfortable with her from day 1 and never had any issues settling down. A short while later when I'd taken my sons out of a nursery (as we were shifting areas) she helped fill the gap between their transition to a new nursery. She was very accommodating all through the period of shifting. One day I'd been delayed by half an hour and she didn't charge me extra for it. Due to the uncertainties I was facing during the move, I could only inform her about my children's timings a day in advance and she was totally accepting of the 'ad-hoc' arrangement we had. She didn't charge me extra for weekends either. I would gladly recommend her to anyone and wish her the best in her childminding career.

Serin has been our childminder for a while now and we are very happy. She runs a friendly, happy and calm household. Her previous experience shows well and our daughter enjoys spending time playing at her house.
