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

Both zafreen and yasmin take really kids of my kids when I drop them off to her setting.
They never make it monotonous for the kids. They have different activities and provide nutritious food to the children.
My kids have been to different childminders depending on the availability but always ask for zafreen.
Keep doing what you guys are doing 👏

Very good service. Very flexible, especially for parents working out of 9-5 hours.
The ladies are kind and understanding, and they take good care of my 2 y old son.
Lots of toys and activities, my son is more socially developed thanks to them.
I recommend Zafreen, and I am really glad that my son is attending there.

My 2 year old daughter absolutely loved her time with Zafreen. Zafreen not only made sure that my daughter had the best time but also did this in a safe environment and was very accommodating when I had to l ask for more hours at such short notice. If we weren't moving abroad my daughter would not be leaving!!!

I have been taking my daughter to Zafreen for over 2 years altogether now. Due to the nature of my job I have been on and off - and everytime she has been very approchable, accomodating and brilliant in terms of communication, flexibility, understanding and praticalilty. She updates daily with activities, food wise, progression. Due to her dilligence, homely and safe environment of care, I feel at ease when she takes over looking after my daughter.

Zafreen took care of my special son (8) when I started working part time. I was struggling to find a childminder for my son due to special needs but I must say she took care of him and he too enjoyed going to her place. I can’t thank her enough for being so supportive,kind and above all understanding. Thank you Zafreen.

I have two children who go to this childminder. She’s a brilliant child minder my children absolutely love it here, they look forward to going every morning. Absolutely love the child friendly setting that she has both indoors and outdoors, she has many learning toys for children of all ages. I can honestly say I’ve never had any issues with her, she’s a very kind lady always updates me on my children’s day (what they ate, how they have been). 👍

Genuine review from mum, working in Bolton, living in Hindley Green. My daughter has been with Zafreen from December 2019, whenever I need to be at work, which is 24/7 commitment. Zafreen is very flexible in arrangements and attentive to needs and requests. She provides safe and stimulating environment for children, she has variety of cooked meals as well. She is attentive to medical needs of children.
Her house is near Bolton Hospital, which is very convenient for those who work there.

I’ve used Zafreen for a year now she was looking after my 2 year old her setting is lovely and homely perfect for young children or if you require flexible childcare. I recently left my older 2 as I was required to work in the holidays and had no childcare Zafreen was able to look after them. They had a wonderful time she spent time doing different activities and provided lovely home cooked meals for the kids.
Definitely recommend Zafreen she’s a lovely lady
Thankyou for helping me

I found out about Zafreen right here on childcare.co.uk a couple of years ago and I have been using her ever since.
I was looking for someone that was flexible and could equally do nights as the nature of my course at Uni requires me to do some night as well as weekend shifts periodically. I searched several profiles on here and very few could offer this and luckily I came across Zafreen childcare services and she was just everything I was looking for in a childminder.
She is very caring, nurturing, supportive and professional in delivering her services. The children are looked after in a conducive child friendly environment. There is always some form of learning activity or craft work to engage the children in and equally plenty of fun play activities as my daughter will always recounts to me. She equally organises outdoor activities and visits to museums, libraries etc during the holidays, which I noticed most home minders do not do.
My daughter is very happy and I just feel so blessed and lucky to have found Zafreen as I know a few of my classmates who have actually had to drop out of uni or take a gap year because of lack of suitable childcare. I'm just so thankful I do not have such worries. Even at very short notice, Zafreen is always willing to accommodate my daughter and this lifts a whole load of pressure off me which intends makes my learning experience as a student nurse a bit more bearable.
Zafreen is a naturally caring person and this reflects effortlessly in the motherly manner in which she looks after the children. My daughter is happy and my experience with Zafreen childcare services thus far has been nothing short of fantastic and I would definitely recommend her services to others.

Thankyou for your review highly appreciated.
Zafreens childminding is great, her and her assistant have made Jacob feel so welcome in the past couple of weeks and have already helped towards my little boys development that you can already see a difference in him.
Zafreen literally is home from home for Jacob, shes so loving and kind and has an amazing rooms for the children. Jacob loves going to Zafreens and always gets excited when we get close by which means alot to us with how slow his development was before hand.
I couldn't recommend Zafreen enough, my little boy gets amazing meals and snacks throughout the day and comes home with a smile on his face after he has been and like I've said already is coming on leaps and bounds since being there.
Zafreen also send your updates on how you little one is doing aswell which put my mind at ease since starting a full time job and Jacob just being with family beforehand.
Thanks Zafreen.

For you review I really appreciate it.
My daughter who is 3 went to zafreens nursery for over a year as now she has recently started school nursery. Zafreen provides an excellent childminding service and builds a good rapport with the parents. Since my daughter started going there, she became soo bright, confident and well advanced for her age. She loved all the indoor and outdoor activities and always came home at the end if the day with a smile on her face. Not only that as a parent i felt really confident that my child was left in good,safe hands. Highly recommended and will use her again in the future. Many thanks

My baby boy who is turning 1 next week has been going to zafreens for the past 4 months now and I couldn’t be any happier with the childcare provided for him.
He’s a soft and quiet boy but enjoys his time there and playing with the other children. They do activities and his learning and development has come on so much.
Everyone is lovely and friendly and I am happy leaving my boy in her care while I have to work.
I would definitely recommend and she has put my mind at ease as it wasn’t easy leaving him while I returned to work.
5 stars!

I’m a single mum who works rotational shifts and was struggling to find a childminder who would be able to adjust with my shift patterns until i came across Zafreen. She is such an amazing woman and childminder. I’ve never had to face any complaints or difficulties. I thought i would find it hard leaving my child under someone else’s supervision but Zafreen has changed my whole perspective. She’s always been there for me and my child whenever i’ve needed her to help. She’s always gone out of her way to provide the best service. I cannot recommend her enough as a child minder, she’ll always go beyond my expectations.

Hi. I am a single parent (father) of 1 yr twins. I found Zafreen on childcare.co.uk. I didnt know anything about childcare cost, she is very humble nd kind. She explained me everything nd helped me at her best on phone nd invited me to see her settings. I was very happy seeing her arrangements, cleanliness and play room. My girl and boy both feel like home with Zafreen. She is flexible too. My work is not fixed shifts but she is adjusting quickly with my timings, even some times she adjust in short notice too. She is a life saver for me. If there are 100 stars i would have given all of them to her not only 5 stars. She is doing different activities with kids so they feel excited while going at her’s. She also have her own kids nd my babies like to play with others so they r always sorrounded by friends. She send pics of my babies time to time so i dont have to worry for my babies while i am working. She provides notes of my babies’ routine every week too. She has a wonderful family though. I feel overwhelmed when going to drop off or pick up my Babies . My big worry was to find a childminder who provides halal food nd with Zafreen,no worries for it at all. Highly recommend. My babies r in good hands when i m busy.

It was hard finding a good childminder.i am very pleased i finally know somone i can trust.
Zafreen is trustworthy and reliable.
Zafreen does school run for my 2 boys aged 9 and 12.My 9 year old has special needs and Zafreen is really good with him and is very patient.
Zafreen also childminds my 2 year old who settled straight away and is always very happy.
The home based setting is very clean and welcoming.
Zafreen is very caring ,kind, friendly and flexible.
Thank you Zafreen
