With years of experience in child development and early education, I have become a trusted figure in the community, known for my dedication to encourage the growth and well-being of every child in my care.
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for both children and parents.
My childcare service proudly offers 15/30 hours of free childcare funding each week for children aged 2, 3, and 4, as part of my commitment to supporting early childhood education and development.
I also offer the 9 month old funding for 15 hours for working parents.

My role as a childminder has involved not only ensuring the well-being of the children in my care but also focusing on their social and emotional growth through tailored activities and structured routines. My commitment to building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families has been at the core of my approach, allowing me to support each child’s unique journey from infancy through to the early years of school.

Thankyou for your kind words,
Was a pleasure looking after your son.
I am writing to express my gratitude and positive feedback for the exceptional care provided to my daughter at your daycare. She is always well-cared for and well-fed, consistently returning home happy and eager to go back. Zafreen and Yasmim are always affectionate and welcoming towards her. Knowing she is in such good hands allows me to work or handle other matters with peace of mind. I am truly grateful to have you all taking care of my most precious treasure while I need to work. Thank you! I highly recommend your services.

Thankyou we really appreciate your positive feedback 😊
My son had been attending for a few short months, he was understandably nervous at first and took a little while to settle in but zafreen and Yasmeen were so patient with him and he started to really enjoy going. Nothing is ever too much trouble! He would still be attending if my circumstances hadn't have changed I will certainly be using them again of things change! And would highly recommend them. Thank you so much xx
