Zakiya has been looking after my son since just before his second birthday. She provides a warm and nurturing environment in her lovely home which is stimulating and safe. My son is very happy in Zakiya’s care and I have total confidence that he is being well cared for. Zakiya provides daily updates and photos which I love and find really helpful when I am talking to my son about his day. I know exactly what he has eaten, how he has slept and what learning experiences he has had. I feel very lucky to have found Zakiya and would recommend her to any other local families who are looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their little one.

Zakyiah looked after my daughter as an assistant and also as the main carer at her lovely home. She has been great at creating a bond with her although she does not warm easily to new people. She is professional and trustworthy, also very attentive and gives detailed feedback, send many photos throughout the day and daily update. She has also offered advice on sleeping and is always happy to have a chat. Would definitely recommend!

Zaki has provided care to our daughter who is always excited upon drop off and happy at the end of the day. Her daily updates are informative and summarise the wonderful activities she creates for the children. My daughter plays, sleeps and eats happily with Zaki; we have been lucky to benefit from her fantastic care.

Keya is a lovely, caring experienced childminder.
She made me feel at ease leaving my daughter for the first time. My daughter bonded well with her and never wanted to leave at the end of the day. She provided advice with sleep routines and gave me support with my daughter’s fussy eating habits.
Zeya’s setting is homely and she provides stimulating activities to keep children entertained and busy. She sends daily updates with photo’s of what children are doing during day and activities are both educational and fun. She provides healthy meals and variety of food to cover all dietary requirements. My daughter who is usually very attached to me is happy to spend time with Zeya and always comes out happy and smiley at the end of the day.
