My Summary
About Me
****FULL & PART TIME VACANCY WITH IMMEDIATE START****
I am an OFSTED registered childminder. I live in a 3 bedroom house with an enclosed garden, with my husband and two wonderful girls aged 14 and 17. Located at a 10 minutes walk from Woking town centre and within 15 of the train station.
My setting is homely, friendly, safe and above all fun for the children, with plenty of opportunity for play, and stimulation for all ages. All my work is based around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
I offer both flexible and affordable, quality childcare for children aged 0-8 years of age within my home. I have a current DBS check and hold both public liability insurance and business use on my car insurance.
The services I offer vary dependant on the needs of the parent / carer. This can be part time, full time places between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
I'm happy to do pick ups/drop off at Goldsworth Primary school.
My Experience
It's my nineth year of having registered as a childminder. In this time I've cared for children ranging from 7 months to 8 years of age. From helping some take their first steps to helping others read their first words. In most cases the experiences of my minded children have enriched my experience as their caregiver.
My Qualifications

Full-time mum to two school-age children

Our 7, 5 and 2 year old have been with Summan and Toqeer for a number of years and the experience has been really excellent. They settled in really well especially when they were also getting used to going to school for the first time. They’ve always enjoyed going and have got extra help with their reading. Summan and Toqueer do go out of their way to really get to know the children and be part of their lives. Would highly recommend.

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing care provided by Summan and Toqeer at Rainbow Bears. Our one-year-four-month-old boy was having a hard time settling in but thanks to their patience, kindness and expertise, he quickly adjusted and now absolutely loves his time there. Summan and Toqeer truly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and secure, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. The warm nurturing environment they've created at Rainbow Bears is a testament to their hard work and passion for childcare. It's been 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the care our son is receiving. We highly recommend Rainbow Bears to parents looking for exceptional childcare!

Summan helped us with both of our children (toddler/ school age) in the past 4 years and her setting feels like extended home for my kids. They settled very well from the first week and learnt a lot as well as made many friends there. Summen is a great communicator, very dependable and also flexible in accommodating after school club pick ups. If your kids go to Goldsworth primary or you live nearby this setting is one of the best options for childcare arrangements.

My daughter started around a year ago (aged 1yo) and she settled so quickly. We have two older children and have always used childminders, but have never experienced anyone as kind and caring as Summan and Toqeer. This is the only childcare setting any of our children have attended without tears! Our daughter loves to go each day and is always full of excitement telling us about the fun things she has done. Summan is always so flexible and accommodating. She is also so easily approachable for any problems.
Our daughter has come on so much under Summan and Toqeer's care and guidance. She has increased in confidence and learnt important values of kindness and compassion as well as preschool education.
We cannot recommend the setting highly enough and feel so lucky that we were able to get a space with her. This family is one of life's good ones and we are so grateful for them.

My daughter was at Summan’s setting from when she was 9 months old. She settled in easily and quickly got attached to Summan’s entire family! Summan and Toqeer provided a nurturing home from home, a structured and learning routine, took the kids to fun activities every day, and encouraged the kids to learn independence and self regulation. The icing on the cake - she taught the kids to be respectful, and to say please and thank you. 4 months after we left the setting to relocate out of Woking, my daughter still mentions Khala and Khalu 😊

Truly the most homely, loving and welcoming setting! Summan started looking after my youngest when he had just turned 1 until he started at pre-school this September. He learnt so much during this time and his relationships with other children are positive because of Summan's care and kindness, nurturing the importance of communication.
Currently, my eldest son attends for wrap around care - before and after school. He always comes home with a smile and I know he's been given space to read it he wants to or encouraged to play with the other children.
I cannot recommend Summan highly enough!

My family have been with Summan since my eldest was in reception - she is now in Year 6. I am so grateful to have found Summan and feel very lucky that both my children have been looked after by her so well. Over the years it has become a home from home for them and they have been cared for with real kindness. It is great that school clubs can be accommodated for with later pick ups. We have really appreciated how reliable Summan and the rarity of being unavailable. The children have been given support with their reading and enjoyed being able to play with others and make the most of the outdoor space. Thank you Summan for all that you have done for us! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone who wants their child to be in a safe and caring environment.

Summan allows my wife and I to work guilt free, knowing that they were well looked after before and after school. The kindness of Summan and her whole family meant my girls have a home from home. She really seems to care about our children and spends time with them to help them with their academic and emotional development.
Summan is extremely reliable and never cancelled on us at short notice. The girls really value the outside space provided.
Summan has the children in good routines so and provides a good level of structure to ensure that the all of the children are happy.
When anyone asks for recommendations for a childminder, I have no issue recommending Summan.

My daughter attended this setting from 9 months old, she is now four and off to school and her time with Summan has been nothing short of wonderful!
Summan has been kind and nurturing throughout my daughters time with her and I firmly believe this has contributed hugely to her becoming so confident and kind. She is also more than ready to start her education journey and I attribute that to the care and guidance Summan has provided. Summan ensures the children in her care are always active and learning new things, whether that is the weekly playgroup sessions or learning through play at home, She fosters an environment built on respect and love and my child has thrived during her time here!

We were blessed to have our daughter under Summan’s care for 5 years. Feels just like yesterday!! Summan kindly agreed to help us with childcare arrangements when we were in real need. Still can’t forget that phone call, must say it was our best decision and no look back from there. Summan is more like family to us now. Summan is so reliable, organised, trustworthy and very professional. She ensured that kids are well behaved and disciplined. She has a lovely caring environment and our little one really enjoyed going to hers every day. She enjoyed reading and playing in the child care set up and the food Of course. I would hear praises everyday:) Summan always gave us daily updates and we didn’t have to worry about her at all as she was so well cared for. All the kids called her "Khala" (auntie) and took care of all kids like their Aunt. Summan's family is also very welcoming and also loved by the children. Can’t thankyou enough Summan. Love from all of us xx
