Shafaq Khan

Best experience for the little one

I would like to start by expressing my heartfelt thanks to Shafaq and Kamal for all the wonderful memories we've created with our boy. Our journey together began when Noah was just 9 months old and he will be soon 2 years old. We were searching for a suitable place for him, and after hearing recommendations from friends about Shafaq's establishment, I can honestly say we felt incredibly blessed from the very beginning.

From our first visit, we were welcomed with warmth, and the atmosphere immediately felt calming and comforting for our little one. We could instantly sense Shafaq and Kamal's genuine love for children, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though we had some initial concerns about how Noah would adjust, I can confidently say that Shafaq and Kamal exceeded all our expectations. They are truly exceptional, and their passion for what they do is evident in every interaction.

Noah has made so many milestones with them—he took his first steps, said his first words, and made his first friends. And beyond that, they introduced him to activities we never thought a child his age could experience: coloring, painting, crafting, dancing, and so much more. Shafaq and Kamal are full of surprises, always coming up with new ways to engage and nurture the children in their care. They even surprise us as parents with their thoughtfulness and creativity.

My partner and I could not be happier with our decision to entrust Noah's care to them. They are incredibly supportive, patient, and always keep us informed with updates, photos, and videos of Noah’s day-to-day activities. Thanks to Shafaq and Kamal, Noah is growing into a happy, confident little boy who loves being surrounded by people. We truly believe they have made a significant positive impact on his life.

Sending my very best wishes to Shafaq and Kamal, and while words will never fully capture our gratitude, please know that we are deeply thankful for everything you've done for our family.

Brilliant!

I posted on this site as we had reserved a place for our daughter at the local nursery but as I had to return to work earlier than her place was available, we had to find a temporary place for her for 6 weeks!
Shafaq was one of the first to reach out to me and after meeting her and her husband Kamal, we knew it would be a great fit for us and they were happy to take her!
Considering it was a temporary placement, they both welcomed our 14m old daughter with such kindness and care. It was evident she was looked after very well; she was safe, had lots of outdoor time, exposure to a variety of age appropriate toys, her development came on leaps and bounds, and our daughter both ate and slept really well there. It was clear she enjoyed being there which gave us parents real peace of mind.
Shafaq & Kamal sent us regular updates and photos/ videos throughout the day via whatsapp, gave us clear instructions on what our daughter would need and how they operate and we felt everything went very smoothly. They have even reached out since to ask how our daughter has settled into nursery :)
Had it not been for our own personal childcare needs (e.g. longer hours, etc), we would loved for our daughter to have had a permanent placement there so we highly recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much for looking after our daughter so well, offering her a temporary placement despite the high demands in the area and being a fantastic example of what childcare should look like.

Above and Beyond!!

My 2 year old son has been going to Shafaq and Kamal's house for a year now.

He settled very well during the first couple of days of being there, which is quite surprising considering toddlers can take ages to adjust to a new environment.

Since the time he's been there, we can see a massive change in him. His speech is delayed and hasn't said a word yet, however they make him feel so comfortable in their setting that he doesn't want to come home sometimes! He has now started interacting and communicating in different ways and all the credit goes to them as they have gone above and beyond their normal responsibilities to make sure he learns, interacts and at the same time ensuring that we as parents are kept at ease. This just goes to show how professional they truly are.

They send us regular pictures of him playing/interacting on a daily basis. My son will happily eat there and on occasions when he refuses to eat anything, Shafaq will go out of her way to give him something else to eat, which I think is commendable.

I can go on and on praising them (as they are truly worth the praise), however if you are looking to send your child to a childminder who will treat your child as their own then I wouldn't think twice to send them here.

Regards

Our kids were well looked after .....

Our two lovely kids 4 and 2 yrs old had a great time at Shafaq and Kamal . They were well looked after and each day we were receiving photos with different activities.

Our kids enjoyed so much the time spent at their house and sadly we had to finish the contract with them as it was only for 2 months. Thank you so much for all the help and wish you all the best !

Caring and very polite

After my maternity leave, we were so worried to leave my little baby who was just 10 months old at child care, but one of our friend’s suggested Shafaq & Kamal Khan.
After reading reviews about them we decided to meet them, after meeting with them for twice we were completely satisfied that my little Baby is going to stay with them when we are at our work.

And undoubtedly they have looked really well and my little one was happy to go there.

We were always updated about my little one is feeling through our WhatsApp group where regular photos and videos are uploaded.

Sometimes we use to get delays in the evening to pick up my little one but they were completely OK with it and never showed any frustration to us.

Really loving, caring and polite people.
