We are privileged to have Saira as our childminder since May 2018. Saira has been reliable, loving , kind and always very flexible to our needs. She has a good understanding of the needs and abilities of the children and is warm, nurturing and responsive to my child.
Saira home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my child has great fun playing with all toys available and with the other children in her care. She provides a wide, fun range-of activities including water play, sand, play dough, art, writing, lego, puzzles and celebrate other nationalities important events and days.
Saira is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my child confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When my child steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.
Saira will provide snacks such as fruit or food if my child is exceptionally hungry after school or keen to eat while the other children are eating. I am also aware that Saira ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my child receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Saira as a great and reliable childminder.
