Sobia

a true star

There are no words to explain the deep sense of gratitude that we feel towards Sobia and how caring she has been not only with R&R but also with us. Her go-to phrase is “how can I help you?” and gosh, did we need help!
Sobia is knowledgeable, caring, attentive and kind. She has nurtured R&R and supported them in ways that we couldn’t have dreamed of, going above and beyond her role on paper, creating a comprehensive educational environment where the boys thrived. They have learned so much during the time spent with her, from eating lots of veggies to clapping their hands and recognising animals and being brave and adventurous, the list goes on.
We particularly appreciated the many updates she sends throughout the day in the form of high quality videos and photos (she is also a great photographer!), as well as her passion for the outdoors which meant the boys breathed in plenty of fresh air and soaked in lots of sunshine. As a result they have developed a deep love of nature and being outdoors: zero screens, lots of trees and ducks. Sobia also values the power of books and she has supported R&R in incorporating reading as a daily habit.
Sobia is a star and we will always be grateful for her precious, loving care.

Caring and loving childcare provider

Sobia is a very caring and loving childminder. She took my children on amazing trips around london making each one a valuable learning experience. She was really accomodating and attentive to their individual needs. A natural educator, positive and fun loving.

A rare gem of a childminder

Sobia begun looking after my son Freddie when he was 9 months old back in February. I had just returned from maternity leave and was feeling nervous. Sobia made me feel right at ease from the very beginning. Her communication is phenomenal, I knew exactly what my son had been up to throughout the day, with photos to show. She nurtured him and helped him build on his interests, taking him to lots of different parks and looking at nature. She is a caring and loving childminder and you can see she enjoys her job, her love for my son was evident in the relationship they had. She is punctual, accommodating and a quite simply a fantastic person to have in your life. Sadly we have relocated out of London, as I wish I could take Sobia with me. Never will you meet a woman so dedicated to her job and your children. Thank you Sobia for the love you’ve shown Freddie and the adventures you’ve had with him. You truly will be missed by both of us.

Thanks a million Leanne xxx

Absolutely wonderful

Sobia took care of our two kids from when they were infants until we had to leave London due to work. She is fantastic and I recommend her whole-heartedly. She has infinite patience, is loving and caring, really understands the different phases of child development, is very safety-conscious, and is a warm and lovely person. I learned a lot from her about interacting with kids. She works harder than anyone I know. She taught my kids fine motor skills, introduced them to loads of healthy and delicious food (she's a fabulous cook), read to them, played with them, and gave them plenty of outdoor exercise. We trust Sobia completely and we miss her dearly. `

Wonderful Experience with Sobia

We have had Sobia looking after our son since the last year and have been very happy with her. She takes extremely good care of our son. He is always so happy with her and we can be very comfortable in the knowledge that even if we aren't with our son he is very happy. Sobia has always been very flexible and adapting to our needs and has many times helped us with last minute availability as well. She takes our son out and plans fun activities with him and he loves eating the food she cooks. We are very happy to provide references to her if needed
