Suvi

Like extended family :)

Suvi has looked after our little boy since he was 10 months until almost 3. From day one we felt so comfortable with leaving him in her care. It was just like dropping him off with family and Suvi made us at ease every step of the way. She's an incredible and loving individual with a clear passion for childcare. Her communication is great and we've always had lots of updates and pictures throughout the day about his time with her. No day would be the same, and the kids got to enjoy all the fun toys Suvi has on offer, arts and crafts, and garden play. We really appreciated it that the kids in Suvi's care take part in the family life like going on school drop-offs with her daughters and then stopping at the playground on way back. Our son has enjoyed lots of walks, visits to Deen City farm, soft play (pre covid), and play dates with other childminders and their kids. We can't recommend enough Suvi and her setting. Her family is also lovely and our son has grown very fond of everyone :)

Highly recommend! Loving and professional

Suvi looked after our son from the age of 10 months and being our first child, we were naturally nervous leaving him initially. However, Suvi is absolutely fantastic, providing a professional, loving and nurturing environment. She helped our son learn and develop and provided a really stimulating environment. She provides care by upholding high standards, with safety, security and health of our son central to everyday activities. Suvi is organised and provides and outstanding provision suitable to the age of the child. Very good communicator on a daily basis.
Meals are varied and nutritious. She treated him like family and is a warm, kind person.
He loved being in her care and we were really upset to have moved on.
Thank you so much!! We feel very lucky to have found you!

Highly professional and caring Childminder

My daughter attended Suvi’s setting for three afternoons a week. While in Suvi’s care she thrived in her development both educationally and socially. Suvi always ensured she was engaging my daughter in activities that met her needs and abilities but that were also fun. Suvi always had my daughters; and all children in her care, best interests at heart. She worked collaboratively with both myself and her nursery teacher, particularly when my daughter was having some emotional issues. Suvi made such an impact on my daughters life that even after being out of her care for the past 6months (she has now started school) my daughter still regularly talks about her and her family, and wants to send her messages to tell her how she is doing at school. I really could not rate Suvi highly enough and have already requested for her to care for my son when the time comes that I need childcare for him

We just couldn’t be happier with Suvi

We have two daughters age 3 and 17 months. They both joined Suvi at 10months old and continue to receive fantastic care and nurture from her. Our girls are our most treasured possessions and there are few people I trust with their care above Suvi. She has welcomed and worked with us as parents since July 2015 when we first visited to view Suvi's home and met her family. Having visited other childminders we knew from the moment we sat down that this was the right place to leave our first child. Needless to say, there was no question of Suvi taking on our second daughter when she joined the fold in August 2017.

Suvi is a professional in her field with an amazing sense of openness and absolute approachability. Her commitment to providing our girls with individual and tailored care holds no bounds. Suvi has recognised the distinct personalities of both and tailored her approach in order to bring out the absolute best in them.

We have always been consulted and kept in the loop with every aspect of care and decision making. Suvi's ability to keep the communication lines fully open whilst juggling the competing needs of all her mindees is really some achievement.

Our girls love spending time at Suvi's and no day is the same for them....They go in smiling and leave happy little souls. No requests have ever been too much for Suvi to accommodate and we are endlessly grateful for her flexibility and understanding.

As a parent, I would recommend her to anyone seeking an 'absolute gem' of a childminder.

Friendly, accomodating and reliable.

Leaving my 3rd son with a childminder was a tough decision to make, but when we met Suvi we knew he was going to be in great hands. He always came home happy and eager to tell us about his day and show us his art work or baking from his session. Suvi was always at the end of a phone if I ever needed reassurance. The food was always varied and healthy, the setting was always immaculate (with obvious signs of children having enjoyed their day!) and Suvi would ALWAYS call if she was concerned about my son's health. My son STILL talks about places he used to go to "with Suvi" so he has great memories of his time with her.
I would happily recommend Suvi for her fantastic, friendly and warm setting and friendly personality. She gave my Son a great head start ready for nursery. Thank you Suvi. X
