It really is so difficult to put in to words just how grateful we are that we found Sultana and Sha, they have been absolutely incredible and we will be forever grateful to them both for the love and care they have shown our daughter.

Our daughter started with Sultana and Sha at 11 months old and has gone to them 5 days a week (currently 3 days since the recent birth of her baby brother). Before we found Sultana and Sha we had been doing the usual visits to the local nurseries but kept getting a feeling that a nursery setting wasnt quite right for her at that young age. We were so lucky we found Sultana and Sha and found their setting really appealing as it seemed to offer the 'best of both worlds' - you receive a smaller more family orientated setting but given Sultana and Sha work together they can take up to 6 children (max) so this allows the little ones to still get plenty of opportunity to socialise. They specialise in taking children under 3 so it feels like a mini nursery but with a genuine family feel. In fact we really do feel as if they have become an extention of our own family and our daughter has absolutely loved it and loves them.

As mentioned in previous postings/recommendations (search EDF)Sultana and Sha take the children out on a daily basis to playgroups which again we found really appealing as our daughter could still benefit from getting 'out and about'. They always wear hi vis jackets when they are out. As for the setting itself, Sultana and Sha have recently renovated their home and have a beautiful open plan living area with sliding doors out to their lovely garden which is perfect for the kids with plenty of space to explore and run around. They provide freshly made home cooked meals and we have found our daughter has become very adventurous with different foods and tastes which has been fantastic.

Videos and photos are sent daily which is so appreciated and its really lovely to see what and how our daughter is doing. This was particularly reassuring in the beginning. Our daughter regularly brings art work home and cards for the various family occasions such as birthdays etc. Our daughter is not only happy and content but she has also developed incredibly well. Sultana and Sha are very good at sitting with the children and introducing colours, letters, numbers etc and I'm amazed at how much our daughter has learnt with them. In addition Sultana has been very supportive at providing advice where needed and also advised us that our daughter was ready for potty training which we received full support with.

As mentioned, Sultana and Sha specialise in providing childcare for under 3's and our daughter is fast approaching this age and will therefore be going to nursery very soon. We are so sad that this time has come. As a result of this Sultana and Sha have a place coming up. Currently our daughter is doing 3 days but we would certainly suggest reaching out to Sultana to understand days/timings etc. We really cannot recommend them enough, they are absolutely fantastic and such loving, warm and caring people.
