About Me
Hi :) My name is Farhat and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder with over 20 years of experience, based in Watford.
I pride myself on offering a warm, enriching, and professional environment where children can feel safe, secure, and happy.
In my most recent Ofsted inspection I was awarded good ratings across all areas, reflecting my commitment to providing high-quality care and education.
I am located a short walk from the Watford Underground, Overground rail stations and Intu Watford Shopping Centre.
With a home full of a large variety of toys, a spacious garden, and regular outings to toddler groups, I strive an enriching and engaging experience for every child. I believe in fostering independence, building confidence, and encouraging children to reach their full potential.
Do not hesitate to get in touch; I look forward to working with you!

Farhat has been great with my son. He was a bit scared at the beginning but after a few weeks going there, he was weaving me goodbye.

Farhat is and has been an excellent childminder for our 18 month old daughter Mia. Always considerate and mindful towards Mia’s development and feelings. We see her glow and grow around Farhat. Farhat makes sure her group of kids can learn from each other. Mia learns new words, skills, dance moves and songs every week.
On top of that, Farhat has always been flexible and we love how she treats us with an open mind and heart. You can definitely trust your child with a wonderful person like her!

My twins have been going to Farhaat since last year summer and I can't fault the care at all.
They are well looked after and loved. I was definitely nervous leaving the girls so young but she was the first childminder I had seen where the girls were immediately comfortable. They have grown so much individually and together it's so lovely to see. They can be a handful at times but I have no doubts when they are in her care as they are always happy to go and always happy when I pick them up I know they have had a great day. It's definitely more of a family/friendship as opposed to a childminder/parent relationship. I'm so happy I found her and she was happy having my girls.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking.
