My Summary
About Me
If you’re looking for outstanding home-based childcare...you’ve come to the right place.
Little Hands Day Care was found to be Good with Outstanding elements by Ofsted in 2017.
We are located in the heart of East London, 2 minutes away from Upton Park Tube Station.
We are a small family orientated setting where the emphasis is on learning through play in a safe, happy and homely environment.
Your child’s first few years in the world are precious. Children develop quickly in the early years and home based learning is an essential part of their development.
Children at Little Hands Day Care benefit from a structured routine with learning goals and objectives, just like a pre-school or nursery, but from within a relaxed and familiar environment, with a smaller group of children and a sense of family.
We value the importance of real life experience learning, e.g. being a part of the community, growing fruit and vegetables, feeding the animals at the farm and important social skills which are reinforced by learning alongside other children.
Being outdoors has a positive impact on a child’s sense of well-being and helps all aspects of child development. We love spending our days outdoors gaining first-hand contact with the weather, seasons and the natural world. We always plan our days around providing children with the freedom to explore, use their senses, and be physically active.
Children at Little Hands are encouraged to extend their learning and development with fun, excitement and enjoyment and develop their sense of investigation, curiosity and wonder of the world around them.
By closely following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework we support children to achieve their full potential. Careful planning ensures that all children at Little Hands are being provided with a rich and varied personal learning experience, establishing ‘school readiness’ and a solid foundation for good future progress through school and life.
Here at Little Hands we provide a happy and stimulating environment; to extend their learning and development with fun, excitement and enjoyment; and develop their sense of investigation, curiosity and wonder of the world around them. We will maintain a safe and secure space for children to confidently take part in activities, play, eat and sleep.
Little Hands offers continuity of care, where children can make friends and feel secure through their pre-school years and beyond, for as long as they need to attend, including after-school care and school holidays.
Little Hands treats children with patients, consideration and understanding and encourages the same in return.
When you place your child in someone else’s care you need complete peace of mind. Choosing Little Hands means you can be confident that your child is being looked after in a safe, home away from home environment, by professionals who can support and nurture their needs as they grow.
Little Hands Day Care is dedicated to achieving excellence in everything we do. We will continue to work hard and strive to provide families with the highest standards of childcare.

Little Hands DayCare is the only childminder for my children. I have known Shazia and family since 2016 and they are just amazing people, the setting is amazing. My children were really cared for! The communication was consistent and the kids were always happy staying in the setting. It was just an amazing feeling knowing I can go to work and have the reassurance that my kids will be looked after as if I was there.
We love "Auntie" Shazia and everyone! 5 star is not enough to rate Little Hands DayCare we need more stars! :)

I did use Little Hands Daycare for more 3 years for my now 5 years old boy and I can sincerely affirm that Little Hands DayCare was a second family for my son ( I did think if it was not the first one sometimes :-) ).
All the team has been amazing, providing fitted care and love to all children.
Let me give you 2 concrete examples:
- I use to go to dance on Friday evening right after having picked up my son. One day I arrived a bit earlier and my son came out with a big bag of fruit. It turned out that they made sure that my son was full enough when leaving their place so that he won't disturb me in my journey. I was speechless as I was not aware about it at all.
- Also during Covid as I was a single working mother at that time, they've done their best to arrange me within the framework of the council rules.
And these are only few examples. Thanks Little hands DayCare for everything you are doing and keep being who you are :-)

My 2 daughters had the pleasure of being cared for by little hands daycare. I was nervous at first like any mother for my children to be with someone new, but I was reassured my babies would be fine and soon settle in. They did exactly that and were welcomed with open arms each morning. Communication was consistent and I was updated with my daughters' progress. My daughters thoroughly enjoyed their time at LHD and miss attending there. LHD were caring, understanding and reliable especially as I worked late and very supportive throughout lockdown, checking on my family and I. I'm truly grateful and highly recommend.

I would like to day how happy I am with little hands day care. Going back to work after maternity wasn’t easy especially when you need to leave your baby with someone you don’t know but I am very lucky to have found little hands day care! When meeting Shazia and her family at their home for the first time I knew straight away that my son was going to love being there and I wouldn’t need to worry when leaving him because they were all welcoming, professional and trustworthy.
Her home environment is clean and great space for the kids to play with lots of indoor and outdoor toys ,they have posters on walls with pictures and activities for the children to learn from all ages, she takes them to play groups and other facilities which are incredible for learning development as I can see how clever my son has become.
Auntie Shazia is very flexible and that is a bonus for us as we always have last minute changes from work and you know you can rely on her. A book is provided and photos sent with our sons progress which is amazing as it gives us an understanding of what his doing and encourages us to also do other things with him at home.
I couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after my son he is always happy when he goes to Auntie Shazia house.
If you are looking for a childminder I would highly recommend little hands day care.

Shazia has been childminding my children 5 days a week. I have been extremely happy with the care my children received, and the great progress they made whilst in shazia care.
Shazia home is always welcoming, clean and the food that she provided healthy with good personal hygiene.
She also provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise.
Shazia is a great communicator and has no trouble, I always respect her and her family.
I would absolutely recommend shazia ( little hands daycar) as a great and reliable child minder.
