My son attended Shakiras day care at her house from the ages of 7 months til 11 months and at short notice as I had some work come up. He settled in really well and was very well looked after my Shakira and her team of helpers! Shakira is a very kind and welcoming woman and I felt very safe and comforted leaving my son with her. We only moved him as we unexpectedly had a nursery space become available. He was always happy when we went to collect him!! Thank you!

Thank you very much
We were incredibly fortunate to have found Sharika and her team when we needed childcare at short notice. Our 1-year-old daughter quickly formed a strong bond with them, and it was clear that she was in a safe and happy environment. Their outdoor space is fantastic. We highly recommend their services!

Our daughter started with Shakira at 12mo. She settled in so quickly with the love and care of Shakira and her assistants. Since then she has thrived in a playful atmosphere with lots of outdoor play in the big garden. Will be sad to leave for the next step (nursery).

Shakira looked after my 1 year old daughter. My daughter was not used to being with people apart from our family and was initially nervous, but Shakira and her assistants put a lot of work in to help her get comfortable at Shakira's house. They were kind and caring, and my daughter really enjoyed being there.
Shakira's house and garden are well set up for children and she has lots of different activities for them.
Would very much recommend!

What would I have done without Shakira…
I’m so grateful I came across Shakira, she is the loveliest most caring childminder I’ve ever met. My daughter loved her and looked forward to going to her setting everyday. Shakira really looked after my daughter like her own and taught her many things. I’m so greatful and would highly recommend her.
