Forever grateful :)

I came to Safina desperately looking for a childminder that could give my son the right support and attention that he so badly needed, after his previous nursery had failed to do so.
my son Has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) , and from the moment I met Safina and her husband Faisal I knew they we’re the right fit for my son’s needs.

Safina’s passion and dedication for the children in her care is truly rare and hard to find these days she never gave up on my son’s ability to learn despite his many challenges, she focused on needs appropriate activities, book reading and circle time as-well as teaching him about turn taking and activities that helped with his focus and concentration she then helped him with his speech and language and because of her my son was able to say his first words!! He started verbalising and then counting he learnt about different animal sounds and would make the sounds for each animal and she really got him into to book reading.

She gave me strategies to help with his sensory needs and worked with him on his food aversions, he had one to one activities to help with his eye contact and shared interests also.

After that she worked on his independence skills he learnt how to put his shoes on and off, and how to dress himself for school readiness, the list goes on he improved and learnt so much whilst being at her setting the things she got my son doing still amaze me till this day and candidly I wish he could have stayed with her for longer.

Lastly but most importantly she gave my son a family structure which as a single parent was very much needed. her children and husband all played a vital role in my son’s development and I am forever grateful to them, and although my son is no longer with her she still remains in contact regularly checking up on us both.

truthfully my only regret is not finding her sooner I would recommend Safina to everyone if I could especially those who have children with special needs she worked wonders on my son! And if I have anymore kids she will be the first person I call.
