I enrolled my son at Tinybees when he was 19 months as I had to go back to full time work. Initially as a new mum I was sceptical about childcare for my son, but soon my worries were gone when I saw how organised and dedicated Safina was towards the children in her care. She gave us timely feedback and advise on how we could reinforce the work she was doing in terms of supporting my son's social, cognitive, behavioural and linguistic development.

Before joining Safina’s setting, my son was on pureed food and was a fussy eater. Safina worked on his eating habits and we soon saw a change in him. Safina encourages healthy eating habits and provides a healthy well-balanced lunch and nutritious snacks for the kids during the day.

Safina puts a lot of time and effort in arranging lots of activities for the kids during the year like field trips, sports days, world book day etc. Kids get to enjoy Easter, Christmas, Halloween and Eid parties – which is so much fun and engaging for the kids. This year she even organised a party for the King’s coronation. Kids learn a lot from these events. Not forgetting the Graduation ceremony that was held for the little ones starting reception this year.

Safina works on bringing out the best in every kid and recognises that every child is different. She channels their creative energy into learning and makes it fun and educational. Kids can enjoy a mixture of activities like singing, dancing while also learning phonics and doing arts and crafts. My son’s vocabulary for his age is exceptional! This is all down to Safina’s hard work. She has prepared him very well for reception, which he starts in September, this year.

My son adores Safina and especially her husband. He enjoys going to the nursery and misses it on the weekends. This is so comforting and says a lot about the care and attention he receives from them. This also shows how safe and loved he feels being around them.

I will 100% recommend Tinybees childcare to friends and family and will be sending my son to her during school holidays. We don’t see Safina’s setting as a childcare anymore, they are like extended family and we are happy that they have been part of our son’s upbringing.
