Zahida started looking after our eldest daughter (Amber) after school as we were looking for a caring childminder with experience of children with additional needs; we found this and more with Zahida. From the moment I visited her home I knew our daughter would be safe, happy and settled with her; and when we had baby number 2 and it was time for me to go back to work we had no hesitation in placing our 10 month old daughter (Skye) with her full-time.

Zahida goes above and beyond in her responsibilities as a childminder. She provides a range of simulating activities throughout the day, as well as day trips and playgroups. She is extremely knowledgeable about early years and child development and has helped, supported and worked with us on sleep, speech, toileting and preparation/transition to nursery.

Her home environment is clean and safe; with a lovely outdoor space which both girls have enjoyed.

With Zahida you really do get a home from home environment which is exactly what we were looking for for our children; and both Amber and Skye (especially) have developed a close bond with Zahida and her family. We have always felt confident that both our daughters are being cared for and well looked after.

I have already recommended Zahida as childminder to ANYONE I now looking for a childminder in Northolt because I thinks fab!!
