As first time parents we were extremely worried about finding the right place for our little one. We heard horror stories about nurseries lying about feeding the children on their register, when the kids were absent and mistreating them. We found Sufia trough a family recommendation and having witnessed first hand the care and love that their child got we did not have any doubts in choosing her. We are extremely content with our choice, our little one is well taken care of and Sufia teaches how to be respectful and kind. She does a lot of activities that have positively impacted her cognitive and character development. We strongly recommend Sufia you are in the very best of hands. We are eternally grateful for having her in our lives.

Thank you for your kind words.
Our son has been with Sufia's childcare for 3 years and he has become so much more independent in his time with her. He loves his Nanu aunty's food and always tell me how much he enjoyed his dinners. He has made many friends during his time here and will miss them dearly now he is starting reception. He has enjoyed activities like dress up days, teddy day, book day and has been well cared for and looked after in the time he has had here. As a family we would like to say a big thank you to Sufia aunty and her family for being so welcoming and helping to make our lives as working parents easier, knowing we have left our son with a trustworthy and kind childcare professional. Many thanks!

Sufia has been an outstanding childminder and the best decision we made for our son. Her dedication, expertise, compassion and care has truly amazing and most importantly she was able to understand and cater to my child needs making the transition from home alot easier. Sufia kept us informed about our child's daily activities, meals, and any special moments after each day. My child wasn't a great eater which i was really worried about but Sufia really made sure he ate well and would always ensure they were clean after each day! (a complete different experience from sending my 1st child to nursery!)
Sufia's attention to detail in maintaining a clean and secure space for our child really gave us complete peace of mind.
Our family are beyond grateful for the positive impact she has had on our child's development and would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone - Thank you Sufia for your love and suport.

Our son has been with Sufia for almost 4 years! When I first started to search for a nursery for my son, I wasn’t comfortable at all with taking him to a nursery as he was not 1 year old yet. I then decided to find a childminder and Sufia has put me at ease a lot especially during that initial transition. For anyone that knows how hard it can be, for me the communication that Sufia provided me with was very reassuring. The transition went very well and my son ended up loving going there, rarely complaining about going. Any time there has been something to be discussed, it was done so very openly and I have no complaints at all. I highly recommend Sufia for anyone that thinks nursery is not the right place, she will provide the children with all the skills they need before going reception. All her family is lovely and we have ended up thinking of them as family too. Highly recommend!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Sufia. I had initially put my son into a nursery with a very good reputation and he just didn’t settle well and I had several concerns about the quality of care they provided as well as consistency of the key worker. Sufia was recommended by a friend and my son has now been with her for almost 2 years and I have not a single complaint. Sufia is so thoughtful and provides an excellent standard of care and the family environment and involvement of her daughters in activities and things like that has made the whole experience for my son so enjoyable and he has formed a relationship with all of them. Even after moving out of the area we continued to send him to Sufia’s because we were so pleased with the level of care and worried that we wouldn’t receive that in other places. My son was quite a fussy eater and she managed to get him to try lots of different food and he’s now very open to eating a variety of things. She also really supported his potty training. Sufia has always been very good at communicating with us and developing a working relationship where we are all on the same page. He is now moving to school and has had such an excellent grounding with Sufia. I highly recommend her and honestly have nothing to fault.

Many thanks for your kind words Madiha.
I cannot recommend Sufia’s childminding enough as so far I have been very impressed by her professionalism and her great care towards her children. Initially my daughter started at another childminder however it was very far to keep doing the journey forth and back with a 9months baby . My other childminder advised me to look closer to my house. I was very hesitant however after reading the reviews here helped me to deciding to contact Sufia. I am glad I did so as she has impressed me from start to now. My family and I went to visit her prior to confirming anything. She showed me her setting and introduced us to her husband who was there that day. I would say they are very warm welcoming family. They showed us every reports and documents e.g Ofsted report. My baby is settled in her Sufia’s setting quicker than I imagined. Sufia is very focused during her working hours and give her all her time on the children. At beginning my daughter wanted security and she got it from Sufia. I feel my daughter and I are very happy and lucky to have Sufia in our life as she made us felt like family. She has a very good understanding and high knowledge of childminding since she has been doing it for over 15 years. From day 1 on a daily basis Sufia communicates to my husband and I in regards to what our daughter has eaten , what has she been doing and so on. Sufia has developed a close relationship with our daughter and both of us. Sufia has a setting where children feel at home that comes with healthy yummy food.She looks after the children as her own. When my baby was teething and didn’t want to eat what she made, Sufia goes out of her way to make my daughter her favourite food. I am very grateful and thankful to Sufia , this has really touched my heart.
Sufia is amazing- Kind, thoughtful and puts the kids she looks after first. My daughter is amazingly well looked after. She has so much fun and is loved by Sufia and her family. She is so keen to get in when daddy goes to drop her. Unbelievable but true.. I am so glad that all the kids at that settings are lucky to have Sufia as their mother like.

Our daughter has been with Sufia for the last year and a half after starting at her setting when she had just turned 1.
We could not have hoped for a more caring and considerate child minder. It is like dropping her off each day with family.
She does a lot of varied activities including occasional day trips to the local park. There's lots of arts and crafts and play time in the garden which was important to us.
Sufia's food is incredible (we were lucky to try it on a number of occasions!) So we are very jealous of the children getting to eat that everyday. Our daughter has some food intolerances so these are also taken into consideration by Sufia.
Despite the pandemic Sufia's child care continued throughout with great communication.
I can't recommend Sufia highly enough to anyone looking for a caring child minder in East London.

Sufia is a truly excellent childminder and i would highly recommend her. The care and attention she provides for my little one is incredible. After having a terrible exeperience with nursery when my son was aged 13 months I was recommended Sufia by a friend and instantly as soon as he started my mind was at ease. It was exactly what I was looking for - a warm, loving and caring environment where my little one is made to feel part of the family, whom I have to mention are absolutely lovely. Sufia has a big house with a lovely playroom for the kids that's super clean and has a great range of toys and a large garden. The food she provides is amazing and I know my child is always well fed. She has even helped my son to start toilet training. My son spends most of his week with Sufia and the other children and I have noticed him gain in confidence and learn so many things since he has started such as good manners, how to be kind, considerate and gentle towards others etc
. Sufia is highly professional, organised and provides detailed daily updates at the end of the day. The kids learn through play and she tries to encourage kids to do what interests them. During the summer the kids had so much fun in the garden with the outdoor pool and garden toys. She has a large variety of educational toys and my son is learning so fast.. We don't have any family in the area so I don't know where I would have been without her when returning to work. She is also as accomodating as possible. I would consider yourself lucky if you are able to send your little one here as the care is really is above and beyond all expectations!

My 3 year old son has been at Sufia’s for over a year now and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how happy he is there.
My son started there just before he turned 2 and has been struggling with his speech and language. I voiced my concerns to Sufia quite early on and I have been blown away with how she has worked with him and us. She works closely with him and feedbacks to us on a daily basis. Since joining, his speech has come a long way and I know it’s because of the play and activities Sufia provides for the children.
Sufia also provides a range of fantastic meals that I never thought my son would eat! It’s because of her, he now experiments more with his foods. I couldn’t be happier!
Not only is she professional in her manner but she is extremely caring. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

We started our daughter in a nursery initially - but quite quickly realised that setting was not what we wanted.
We wanted someone who would develop a close relationship with our daughter and both of us. A setting where there wouldn’t be a time limit on outside play. Someplace with tasty and healthy food. Someplace that she would be looked after but not just a number. Sufia has ticked all these and more.
Sufia is amazing- Kind, thoughtful and puts the kids she looks after first. My daughter is amazingly well looked after. She has fun and is made to feel loved by Sufia, her assistants and Sufia’s daughters who also help out. The communication we have with Sufia is excellent. Always making time to tell us how our daughter has been in the day and little insights into her personality around other kids. We get photos and videos of the fun stuff she gets up to- from baking, arts and crafts and paddling in the pool on a hot summers day.
Sufia cooks amazing food - and has her own vegetable garden in the back. 100% my daughter has developed an excellent taste of variety from being with Sufia.
I cannot recommend Sufia’s childminding enough. It’s a massive FIVE stars.
