I value collaboration with parents and welcome their ideas, feedback, and suggestions, which can be shared in their child’s contact books or during conversations.
I operate my setting with professionalism, attending relevant training, maintaining confidentiality, and keeping organized records in line with current guidelines. My policies and procedures are clear, and I am committed to offering a dependable service that parents can trust.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! It has been an absolute joy to care for your daughter and to watch her grow, learn, and thrive every day. Seeing her confidence blossom and her curiosity lead her to explore and engage with new activities has been so rewarding.
Zarah is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly caring, nurturing, and completely trustworthy. Her home is always immaculate, organised, and filled with engaging, educational toys. She goes above and beyond by planning and creating enriching experiences for the kids in her care.
Since my son started with Zarah, he has thrived under her attentive and loving guidance. She actively participates in play and learning, ensuring every day is filled with new activities and opportunities for growth. Zarah’s dedication and passion for her work are unmatched, and her kind, encouraging nature makes her truly special. I’m so grateful she came into our lives during such a crucial time, and I can’t imagine a better person to have cared for my son. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It has been such a privilege to care for your son and to be part of his growth and development. Seeing him thrive and embrace new activities with curiosity and enthusiasm has been so rewarding. I’m so glad that the environment and experiences I provide have made such a positive impact.
My daughter was so comfortable on our first visit she didn’t want to leave. Now she goes twice a week and has a great time learning and trying out various activities that Zarah has prepared. Zarah also keeps me up to date by sharing her progress.
