Sumaya is incredibly passionate and well organized childminder!
We have joined her place when my daughter was just 1 year old and it was so stressful for me, but not for my daughter. She was really well looked after.
I cannot recommend Sumaya enough! Our very shy 2 year old had struggled to settle in to other childcare settings but Sumaya and her team provided such a welcoming, nurturing environment that he loved it straight away. Over the course of a year he's grown in confidence and developed so much socially, mentally and physically with the help of Sumaya and her team in their lovely spacious setting. Every day the children benefit from a range of activities, inc. outdoor play, arts and crafts, storytime - and most importantly a lot of love and affection from the staff. Sumaya is always on hand to answer questions, address any concerns and shared regular observations about our son's progress. It's very clear she is passionate about her job and the wellbeing of all the children she cares for. We've just moved out of London and it was very sad to say goodbye!
We joined Sumaya after lockdown and it has been a wonderful experience. She is kind, friendly and incredibly professional. My two daughters are always happy to be dropped off and excited to go back. She keeps my eldest daughter entertained - which is not easy - and they come home with paintings and drawings. The environment is lovely, full of nature and nurturing. I would recommend her to any parent.
My little one has been with Sumaya since February when she was just 11months old. Naturally any parent going back to work after maternity leave and leaving their baby would be anxious but Sumaya has been nothing but supportive and has always kept me informed on how M has been doing throughout the day. She really understands M and her needs and wants and has created a friendly and loving environment for my little girl. M jumps from my arms to Sumaya’s every morning showing that she really is cared for and loved. Sumaya’s teaching background has enabled her to set appropriate goals and really engaging activities for the children to enjoy so I know there’s never a dull moment! M has grown in confidence and has learnt so much in the months since she’s been with Sumaya. We are lucky to have her!
Sumaya is a great childminder she is welcoming and made G feel comfortable, she was able to make me feel at ease as well. G has settled very well with Sumaya, she is caring and compassionate towards him.
Sumaya has a great maternal caring side and is a great teacher, she assessed G's development and set him age appropriate goals. He has flourished since being with Sumaya and always leave's her happy.
Sumaya is proactive and changes the activities so children are always stimulated.
Sumaya has encouraged and successful got G to try new foods.
The environment is always clean, there are many toys children of all ages. The children have little table and chairs for focused work and a lovely book corner.
I would highly recommend Sumaya to everyone, she is highly dedicated to making sure G is happy, safe and entertained.

Thank you for your kind words! Its a pleasure working with G! He has such a lovely and polite personality. I am so glad that he has settled very well and enjoys his time with me. I am glad i can make you feel at ease when he is left in my care. I hope to continue flourishing my little G!
My 2.5 year old has been with Sumaya since last October and he has flourished academically and in character. Sumaya arranges different activities as well as alternate themes each week which keeps the children stimulated and more curious as to what will happen the following week!
My son clearly has too much fun everyday as he comes home exhausted and konks out straight away. I feel very confident in leaving my son in Sumaya’s care and would highly recommend all local parents to come and join Twinkletoes!
My 3yr had seperation anxiety and since she has been going here, her confidence and social skills have flourished. Everyday I pick her up she is happy and talks about all the things she’s done.
Samaya was very good at settling my nerves too and as a parent herself she was able to understand and ease my worries too, which I feel is important.
I like how the room changes each term, so there is always something different for my daughter to engage in and there’s lots of educational things that is done.
She picks my daughter up from school and this is a service that helps me. It is a very clean, warm and educational environment and I would definitely recommend. There’s also public transport literally outside which is convenient when working.
One of the best childminders I have had!

Thank you so much Natasha, it's a pleasure having S in my setting! It has been wonderful getting to know a lovely family like yours. I am so grateful for the kind words and so happy that I can help you and S. I hope to continue supporting you and S in every way I can. Thanks again.
I ve sent my son( 1.8 y) for some time at Sumaya and all went good. They went in the park and had fun , had creative activities at the childminder's place, ate well and had his nappy.
Thank you for your dedication.
