Sima is simply the best! My son has been with Sima for over a year now and thoroughly enjoys being under her care. Sima really goes that extra mile incorporating interesting activities while keeping in line with EYFS framework; she shows endless dedication, care and support for my son’s wellbeing and development. My son has reached many of his milestones with Sima and she has helped us reach them from home too! There is no doubt Sima certainly knows what she is doing (and does it so well) but she is very flexible with taking on board our needs and wants too. Sima has also been very adaptable to the ever-changing rules regarding Covid-19; keeping my son safe and able to continue his learning! Its never easy leaving your child, but Sima and her family have truly become a big part of our lives, for my son its a home from home. The daily smile on my son's face after a long fun packed day, confirms Sima is a GREAT childminder!

My son has been looked after by Sima since January and I can honestly say I couldn’t be happier with the care that she has given him. Her setting is equipped as good as any nursery and her days are filled with structured activities that not only nurture his development but also keep him engaged.
My son has come on leaps and bounds in the short time he has been with Sima. She has the right balance between providing a setting that educates and stimulates but also provides a caring and personal environment that feels safe and homely.
I was very anxious in the beginning as my son is very attached to me and can get quite upset when being left. Sima made me feel at ease, ensuring that I was sent regular updates and photographs. To my amazement my son took only a week to settle and there were no tears when dropping him off just excitement to play.
I can’t recommend her more highly for childcare needs, she’s our own Mary Poppins!

Sima was our nanny back in 2010 when my children were 3months and 19months old. She stayed with us for well over a year and only left to increase her hours and gain more experience. Since leaving us, she has returned for extra evening babysitting, watching the children while I go to work, on occasion, party entertaining and even house and cat sitting while we were on holiday. Her role was mainly childcare (not much housework), playing, preparing food for the children, pick up and drop offs (on foot or bus) and play dates.
I can highly recommend Sima as a wonderful, loving, nanny with a genuine interest in working with children. Our children adore her and still look forward to seeing her smiling face at the door, when she visits!
