This is a long overdue review I should have provided a year ago. Apologize Rukhsana!
My baby girl was under her care for a year and a half. She is probably everything you'd hope from a childminder, trustworthy, understanding, kind, warming, loving, caring and definitely reliable and consistent through the whole periold, just as so many have said in previous reviews. My husband and I both are truly grateful that we have her as my baby girl's childminder. We greatly appreciate the love that she gifted to my babygirl. Thank you Rukhsana!
Overall
Our son has been coming to Rukhsana since he was 11 months old and I’m so glad we chose Rukhsana for his childcare.
Being a lockdown baby we weren’t sure how he would settle, as he hadn’t really spent any time apart from us. Rukhsana was very caring and flexible in these early days and tailored the settling in period to suit his needs. He settled in in no time! He is always so excited when we drop him off in the mornings and it’s lovely to see the special bond he has with Rukhsana. She provides a happy and nurturing environment and pays really close attention to each child’s development. He has developed so much since he started with Rukhsana and it’s great for us to know how much he enjoys his time there. Rukhsana provides a nice healthy lunch for him each day and has been very accommodating with him through his fussy phases! She takes excellent care of him and we would strongly recommend her to other parents.

I want to let you know that I feel blessed and lucky to have found good people for my baby.
I admire your work and I admire you for taking good care of her, I see her well and that makes me happy If I don't like something, I will tell you. I am sincere and I see in you a good caregiver and I like it because I see that you are a wise and strict woman with your children. thank you for teaching me how to take care of Adhara and thank you for taking care of her. we love you.💖
When I am not with my baby, I think that Rukhsana is her mother and I can be calm because she takes care of and guides my baby in her learning and development because she depends on you in the nursery hours, I see that my baby learns more every day And it's a good sign that you do a good job with the kids. you are definitely a shining star in my daughter's life.

Rukhsana looked after our baby daughter from 11 months old and we are very pleased with our experience - she was looked after with love and care and we could always rely on Rukhsana as parents.
Our eldest daughter attended nursery at a similar age and it took her weeks of crying/clinging to settle in, but Rukhsana managed to settle our younger one in a matter of a week which was a happy surprise. Rukhsana always carefully observes and tries different techniques to comfort the children (rather than controlling them) which we believe helped create a strong bond so swiftly…!
At her home, our daughter enjoyed different activities daily - she learned “tea time” role play with other children in her first month, and loved outings at the neighbouring Clissold park on sunny Summer days. She also enjoyed different healthy home-made lunches every day which was helpful to us.
Thank you Rukhsana for the care and support to all our family!

Rukhsana is very experienced in chid minding, she is very good at reading children especially my daughter is still not able to talk yet. The place is not big but it is well equipped, the house is always clean, the play area is all protected and the stairs are kept away with a barrier so it is safe, same goes with the kitchen area as well.
My daughter is very happy going there, I make her meals etc, but Rukhsana does provide meals and one time she enjoyed eating the food there, and I discovered Rukhsana is very health conscious about how to make a balanced meal which provides all the nutrients a child needs.
I also like the fact she updates with photos and when the weather is good, Clissord park is just right outside of the building, I highly recommend Rukhsana, she is professional and very clear on what to do to make a child healthy and happy.
