We were very nervous about putting our little one into childcare and a nursery setting was way too overwhelming for our nearly 2 year old son.
I am so incredibly grateful to Sherife and the Stayfun Team - not only was Sherife incredibly professional but also took the time to talk us through everything, explain the process, ensure EVERYTHING was covered and we knew what to expect from day 1.
She was patient with the settling in process, our little one settled in so quickly and adored Sherife and the team. He thrived at Stayfun and we were so sad to be leaving (only due to relocation). I can only hope to find another childminder as friendly, calm and understanding as Sherife.
The team are so creative with their activities, fresh healthy meals provided and I couldn't recommend anyone more.
Thank you Stayfun!

Thank you - wishing you the best of luck with the move 😊
Our little one has been at Stayfun since he was 11 months old and he has now moved onto pre-school. Sherife, Elis and team provided a safe, warm space and nurtured my little one as an individual. I adore the daily reports and am lucky to have such a wonderful team care for my little one over the years, his transition to preschool is a testament to their great work.
My youngest also attends Stayfun so my pre-schooler still see’s Sherife and Elis :)

Thank you 😊
Sadly, my son just left Stay Fun (only due to moving out of the area) after 12 lovely months. He started as a 14-month-old baby, and leaves as a socially confident, caring and happy 2-year-old. The team are fantastic, they care so much about what they do and individually for each child. Sherife has built a really lovely home environment for the children. I can't recommend Stay Fun enough, any child will love it.

We will miss having him with us. Thank you and good luck with the next chapter 😊
Sherife proudly provides a very organised, clean and loving environment for the little ones. I had to change childminder after a rocky start with someone else, which really affected my daughter's confidence. Sherife took her in and was kind and patient. My daughter went from screaming as soon as I left her side, to confidently striding into Sherife's house, with barely a goodbye. Parents are updated regularly and all food is healthy and homemade on site. She's so happy and confident at Stay Fun Childcare, it'll be really sad when her time here has to come to an end.

Thank you 😊
My son started at Stay Fun aged 14 months and has been there for around 7 months now. My experience has been nothing but good, my son settled in very quickly, has developed very well since and throughly enjoys his time there (he smiles every time he sees the front door!). The small team are fantastic, they know each child well. There is a lovely atmosphere of care and kindness, along with an importance on play and education. I’ve always felt relaxed about leaving my son there, I highly recommend them.

Thank you ☺️
Our little boy has been with Stay Fun for over 9 months and we are very happy with their service. We were originally looking for a nursery but we were impressed with their hybrid nursery/home setting. The place is very clean and the children receive regular healthy meals during the day.
The team provide a good balance of professionalism and fun with structured daily activities for the children to enjoy and develop. Each day we receive daily written reports, photos and a verbal update about our boy's day.
The team are friendly, flexible and try to accommodate our requests. We receive helpful advice on caring for our child at home. This has been invaluable as we do not have family support near us.
We feel that our precious child is safe and well looked after at Stay Fun and I would highly recommend Sherife and her team.

Thank you ☺️
Our daughter was with Sherife for over two years and started when she was only 10 months. As first time parents we had worries and doubts, especially for the lack of family support (we have no close relatives in London) but Sherife and Elis helped us to navigate this new chapter of our lives, and went above and beyond to accommodate our working patterns. They are both wonderful childminders, friendly and professional, caring, warm and attentive with children. They are incredibly organised, from daily reports and pictures, to learning activities that change on a daily basis and that stimulate children senses and curiosity.
The space is tidy and clean, meals are healthy and generous and the atmosphere is the one of a family rather than a childminder setting.
We are extremely grateful to Sherife, we couldn't imagine a better start for our daughter's education. Thank you!

We miss her little smile thank you for the review 😊❤️
Our daughter has been in the care of Sherife and Elis for almost a year and a half. This week was her last week before starting nursery and we were very sad to leave! She was 16 months old when starting at the setting and was born during Covid, having had little interaction with anyone outside of family members. She settled quickly in the warm and caring environment provided.
Sherife and Elis make a fantastic team. They care for and educate the children so well, providing an excellent standard of education as well as a variety of fresh food. Their communication is clear and consistent with photos and updates sent daily.
We wish Sherife, Elis and the rest of the team all the best for the future. We will always be grateful for the fantastic start given to our daughter.

Thank you for your kind words 😊
Our little one has been going to Sherife’s setting for almost two years and today was sadly her last day in her care as we’re moving on to a larger setting. Sherife and Elis have been nothing short of outstanding both in their care for the little ones and their support to us as new parents. Sherife has helped us navigate sleep regressions, create healthy habits and routines, and has provided a clean, safe, fun environment for our little one to learn and thrive. We couldn’t have chosen a better person and setting as our little one’s first care provider (a decision no parent takes lightly, but even more difficult for us considering we were still going through COVID restrictions and fears!) and we have already recommended StayFun to many friends in the area. Sherife always organises lots of different activities (including yoga!) and has supported our daughter’s second language (Spanish) by asking us for key words. Sherife takes the time to organise activities to celebrate birthdays and mark special occasions, and always cooks healthy food and snacks for the kids. We are truly heartbroken to be leaving her setting as our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time there and has made lots of great friends. Sherife, thanks again for everything!

We could not be happier with Sherife and her lovely team. Our little one was born in lockdown and we had to start childcare when she was under 1 year old. It wasn’t an easy decision. We found leaving her with what, to us, was a complete stranger, difficult. We looked at nurseries first because I wasn’t quite sure about the idea of leaving my precious little one at someone’s house. I had a friend that convinced me to have a go at checking the childminders in the area and I’m so grateful we did! We were straight away smitten by Sherife and her setting. She is super professional. One of my fears (I know I had many 😅) was that if I took my daughter to a childminder she wouldn’t get the same educational content as if she was at a nursery. Wrong. She most certainly does and, in my opinion, even better because it’s a little group of kids so it’s more personalised. Sherife sends a report and some pictures at the end of everyday. Our little one loves going there. She loves Sherife, Elis and the team and has made little friends which is heartwarming to see. I’m super happy she doesn’t even turn around to say goodbye when I leave her there 😂 What else can I say? It’s spotless clean and her cooking is super healthy and has won my daughter’s stomach and heart! We have moved house but still do a 45 minute commute to take her to Sherife’s. Would highly recommend!
