Durrey Zeb

The best childcare provider in this area...

Dear parents...
My son started with Miss Durrey in January 2024. At that time, he could only say two or three words in English, as our first language is our mother tongue. I was truly amazed at how quickly he progressed. His confidence grew so much he started speaking more, singing, writing his name, and even expressing himself more at home.
Miss Durrey is an incredibly passionate, caring, and dedicated childcare provider. She kept us updated regularly with WhatsApp messages and pictures, and she always supported my son with reading books, encouraging his learning every step of the way. Her creativity in teaching is outstanding, and her curriculum was remarkable. The monthly newsletters kept us well informed, and it was clear how much thought and effort she put into every child’s development.

I highly recommend Miss Durrey to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. She is truly amazing at what she does.
Thank you again miss durrey...

Unwavering Passion for Early Child education

Our daughter has truly developed since she has been with Durrey. Her speech has improved greatly and her social skills have developed. Durrey paid attention to the individual needs of our child and have tried to meet those needs. What sets her apart is the passion for child development which you can instantly see once you meet. Her Setup is truly thoughtful towards helping the children develop properly. She is doing a fantastic job.

Thank you so much we will miss Tiara and her lovely smile 🙏❤️🙏

Our lovely aunty dd

Durrey is the most wonderful, kind hearted, compassionate human being you will ever meet. Durrey has been looking after my daughter since September 2023 and I only have good things to say about her, she is consistent, her setting is always clean and warm and inviting. She figured out my daughters needs within a few weeks and she was not wrong. She understands the hearts and needs of every child in her setting. When I drop my little one off to her I see all the smiley happy children. My own daughter is so happy at the setting she asks to go in even on her days off and in the holidays and my daughter is a very fussy and a hard child to please, to the extent that she even has a cold shoulder towards extended cousins In the family but not with durrey. She says she loves durrey and that for any mother/parent is everything. My daughter is always clean when she returns from the setting and is fed. She always says I have eaten I'm not hungry. Durrey has been able to convince my picky little eater to try new foods and vegetables and I couldn't be more happy. She is now open to try new foods and will try most foods.
My daughter has a medical condition which I informed durrey about, instantly durrey worked with me to ensure imaan was drinking plenty of fluids and has made an effort to get her ready for her medical examinations.
I have been to a few childminders and also big named nurseries and I can say from everyone I've been too durreys care and compassion and nurturing environment is truly outstanding.
My eldest daughter is in school attending reception and has only just learnt how to write her name but at durreys my youngest child has already wrote her name and she's only 3!
Durrey doesn't just teach the children about the educational syllabus but she teaches them about the world, the environment, the seasons and teaches them to be curious about the world.
I would recommend every parent to send their child to durreys and I promise you will see your child grow and bloom.

It’s was a pleasure lovely 2 wonderful years, and I wish Arsh all the best new school new adventure ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent

Durrey is a kind, considerate and organised childminder. I feel content and pleased knowing I'm leaving my daughter in a safe and nurturing environment where she is taken care of and is developing too. Durrey is flexible and well informed and has the skills and qualifications that support her role my daughter didn’t speak much but when I sent her to Durrey’s she was singing talking 3 words sentences and slowly made relationships with other peers at the setting, Durrey brings in amazing creativity at her setting and my daughter always brought lovely art work we will miss Durrey but we are moving house further away we will always be grateful for her support through speech and lovely activities that my daughter brought home.

Thank you Haja it was my pleasure please bring khatija anytime to visit my setting she was a joy to have and we will miss her ❤️❤️

Fantastic, honestly no regrets

I had an amazing experience with Zeb, i was really worried whether i had made a good decision as it was my first time booking for a babysitter. She was really friendly and polite kept me reassured at all times, made me feel comfortable and very welcoming.
Her nursery setting was very colourful and had plenty of activities for my child to do indoors and outdoors.
My son enjoyed his time with her and she did lots of activities with him such as painting, colouring, water play, outdoor activities and singing and dancing.
She was super helpful by encouraging and taking my son regularly to the toilet helping me with his needs, she kept me well informed and updated me throughout the whole time my child was with her, which made me feel relaxed and happy knowing what my child was up to and that he was comfortable and happy with her. Also a big thankyou to her two beautiful girls who were very welcoming and kind with my child and spent time to play with him and made him feel comfortable.
She was interested in what my child liked and what his favourites food were just to make sure he had a great time with her, she gave him plenty to eat and drink and really looked after him well that i have no concerns, he thoroughly enjoyed himself and was eager to go back to her with no complaints over the 3 days she took care of him.
Over all i had a fantastic experience and would recommend her to all parents and if i ever need a babysitter again i would not hesitate to book again.
Thankyou Zeb x
Lots of love from Saba and Zahid

Thank you it was lovely having Ammarah and now we have her younger brother Sufyan but he will be leaving setting, to start school in September😪😪, come and visit us anytime ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely amazing

I have known Mrs Durrey Shewar for almost 5 years. She was my daughters childminder for 2 days of the week whilst she attending school.

I would describe her work ethic as very good, both in theory and practice. She attained a high level of standard, kept my daughter engaged in her education (EYFC ), would listen to her needs and be in tune with her feelings as well as using play to advance her learning. For example , they would do crafts, make cards, bake muffins, play with soft toys and so on. All these activities were documented in a folder with a photo and a statement talking about how she got on and felt overall. Occasionally I was provided with a photo to take home as a memory of the tasks she has successfully done while in the service of Mrs Durrey.

The house setting also has a wide variety of tools and equipment that enables a child to successfully develop and reach new milestones both physically and emotionally. For example the outdoor area contains a trampoline, slide, bikes and few other items that are good for the summer months, encouraging both physical exercise and fresh air.
The indoor area is well kept, very hygienic, with areas for colouring, reading, or playing and much more.

Mrs Durrey Clearly shows passion for young children and my daughter loved coming to her house. I really felt like she cared about her, would go the extra mile, and displayed effective parents childminder relationship. By that I mean, she thoroughly communicated what the activities makaykah had done during the day, what she ate, toilet needs etc (feedback).

My daughter now is in full time school but always talks about “Aunty Durrey” and her daughters and play mates.

Before she left a folder was created by Mrs durrey containing all her work and targets she has achieved in terms of the EYFC guideline. I was very happy with her attainment.

Finally I feel Mrs durreys montessori qualification makes her very knowledgeable and adaptable to the changes that can arise from the curriculum over time.
