“Had our 2 year old here for 1 year. He absolutely loves it. We get regular updates and he brings home the activities he does. He loves going there and we see what he's learning at home. Eating skills, alphabet work, arts and crafts. All in a very loving environment. Thank you little learners.”

“Shama was wonderful with my daughter, for whom it was her first childcare setting. She was warm, kind and went the extra mile to ensure that my little one was happy, learning and having fun. She would also ensure that my little one had home cooked nutritious meals. Thankyou Shama!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better childminder. Shama aunty is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly treats the children as if they were her own. She creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that feels just like a home away from home.”

Ayman Kanji · Google Review
★★★★★

“Shama at Little Learners was what I would describe an absolute God send. I took my first child here for 2 years. As a new mum I was more anxious than my toddler but Shama was understanding and patient with us both. I have now enrolled my second child too.”

Ola H · Google Review
★★★★★

“Little Learners have been a place where MA has flourished. When she first started, she was a very shy, timid girl with only a handful of words. Now she is a funny, outgoing girl who can hold a conversation in multiple languages. Thank you Shama for supporting her in her early years!”
