Family Daycare

The Best You'll Find

Our son has been with Samiya from 2021-2025 and we've been so happy with her and her team that I asked her to care for my daughter before she was even born!

Rewind to 2021, I had a specific type of setting in mind when searching for childcare for my son and I didn't believe anything like it existed. I was (happily) proven wrong when we found Samiya; From the first time we met her and saw her set up, I really felt our prayers had been answered!

Samiya and her team of assistants are such caring, loving and generous people; I feel like I've left my son with our own family members and can tell they really do look after him as though he is their own. He has always come home happy, clean and his tummy full. He loves it there and tells me he misses Samiya and her brilliant assistants whenever we are away for a period.

I've been continually impressed at how organised they are, evidenced by the many outings they do with the children; to the local parks and playgrounds, nature zones, libraries, playgroups and even trips into Central London to places like the Transport Museum and China Town. There's usually a themed week and activities surrounding that. Plenty of indoor play too including crafts and messy play. We're kept updated and love to receive photos of what he's been up to. I describe Samiya's setting as a "micro-nursery" to my colleagues and friends because of all the resources and activities Samiya has managed to build up in her home.

Samiya has always been flexible and understanding which I'm so grateful for as it's something I really needed with the job I do. She's patient and kind- qualities I very much value and can see that has rubbed off on my child. You always want your child to be in good company, and with Samiya and her crew you don't just get good, you get the best.

Thank you Samiya for being part of our village!

I feel so lucky to have found Samiya!

Samiya, her husband Sami and her whole team provide the most amazing setting for early years development. Their ship runs smoothly and the feel of the house is like a big family. My son was in her care from 1-5 and he loved it there. Samiya also provided before and after school care for my older daughter and was always so warm, loving and organised. My kids were never hungry after Samiya’s so I knew they had eaten well and all her staff are so kind and patient too. I would highly recommend this setting it’s a large childminder set up and they go out everyday too. Samiya celebrates each occasion in the calendar giving the kids a colourful and educational start to pre school life.

Our childminder

Samiya and her team beautifully looked after our youngest for just over 2 years until he joined his older siblings at the school nursery. I cannot speak more highly of her and in my opinion she provides the best childcare setting in the local area having experience 1-2 local private nurseries in the area. I only wish I had known about her so my older two could have benefitted from her care. The highlights for us were how kind she was, how flexible she was, the fab trips near and far she took the children on, the varied activities she did with the children, how polite my child was due to her influence, the close/fun bonds between the children she looks after and how happy and content my child was in her care. I remember clearly one time when I was poorly and had 3 children in my care and how she offered to take all my children in on the spot so I could recover. She has also offered to help in other tight spots I have had with childcare and this is invaluable when you don't have family locally. Thank you Samiya and team. x

A second home

Our son and daughter were with Samiya and her team from a young age and they absolutely loved being looked after by them. From the moment we met her, Samiya put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy, professional manner.

The children were always happy and excited to be spending the day with them and loved seeing all their friends there. Samiya and her team provided a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment in which our children thrived. Their communication has always been excellent, with both children and parents. The children experienced a wide variety of activities during the day including plenty of time outside, educational trips and the food they provide was always very healthy and varied.


If we didn’t move away, we would definitely be continuing with Samiya and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding.

Can't recommend highly enough!

The eagle-eyed amongst you notice that this is my second review for Samiya - she previously looked after my Son until he started school, and my younger daughter has also now just left in order to start school in September having been looked after by Samiya since the age of 11 months, 4 days/week.
Placing our children with Samiya (and her wonderful family & assistants) was quite simply one of the best decisions we have ever made as a family. My children both thrived during their time with her, and whilst they miss her setting immensely they have been well equipped with all the social skills, confidence and abilities they need to embrace starting school. In short I can't recommend her highly enough and she will always be considered family, thank you Samiya!!
