Thank you so much for appreciation.
It is absolutely amazing experience looking after your little ones.
I wish them best of luck for their future
Regards.
Zunaira.
Zunaira is truly lovely and patient. She was great from the start at communicating which was really helpful as we needed emergency childcare so had to act pretty quickly. She asked for our child preferences with toys, food, etc.. but was also flexible and kindly said that it would be fine to bring a few toys or his favourite soft toys/pillow to make him feel comfortable and help him settle in as he usually goes to nursery. Zunaira then provided daily updates on nappy changes, snacks and meals, nap time, what he enjoyed and played with that day as well as some photos during the day which was much appreciated as I could see that he had settled in fine and was having fun. I would 100% recommend Zunaira and will go back to her when we need help again :)

Thank you so much 🥰 for your kind words.
I also love looking after your child
Zunaira provided a fantastic temporary environment for my son whilst we waited for his nursery start date. As a baby born in 2020, he was very clingy and naturally didn’t want to be away from me. But Zunaira reassured me and my concerns by sending regular updates and photos on activities they were doing.
Her home is clean and welcoming and I was impressed from the start. We were only with her for a short time but I felt very confident and reassured about her ability to care for my son and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if we were in need of a childminder.

Thank you so much.
Me and my little one love Zunaira. She is warm and very friendly. Communication is perfect. She keeps me updated through the day what the baby was eating or did she sleep etc. I know my daughter is in good hands. Me and my partner do not have fixed rota and sometimes we are receiving rota late but Zunaira is very understanding and flexible. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much I love your little one 😊
Zunaira was the perfect childminder! She accommodated myself and my child in every way possible. Very understanding of my situation, extremely caring and kind. My son loves her and her two daughter. He did the breakfast club only but if I needed her to collect him at short notice she was more than willing to do so. She catered to his fussy eating habits and his overall wellbeing as my son has some emotional/behavioral problems this was no problem for Zunaira to deal with. If I was still working my son will still be with Zunaira, and the moment I do get back into work I will of course be going back to her as she's a great childminder!!

Thank you so much I m more than happy to have you in my parent list and your little one is an amazing addition in my setting.😊
Thank you once again.
I found Zunaira through this app after lots of searching and quite a few interviews. I needed someone at fairly short notice who ticked all the boxes. I found Zunaira to be friendly, welcoming and very organised. She showed me everything I needed to see, from documentation to the setting. The added bonus was that she was only a few mins drive from me. Zunaira gave me contact numbers of other parents past and present who have used her services. I found this very helpful.
My son met with her later that evening and although it took him a few weeks to get used to everything, (he was only there one day a week), I knew he was enjoying the activities.
There are a few other children she looks after, which I was pleased about so my son could interact with others and wouldn’t be on his own. She also has her own two daughters who are sweet. She plans lot of activities throughout the day and is helpful and accommodating. She often sends through pictures of my son doing activities, which I love. It’s always nice to see what he has been doing throughout the day. Yesterday was my son’s last day and although we are sad to be leaving, I have no hesitation in calling on Zunaira again, should we need to.

Thank you so much Melissa for your kind words.. and I hope to see you in future as well.
Kind Regards.
As a working Mother of 2 gorgeous children, there came a time when I was in urgent need of a childminder close to my house for my daughter. I found Zunaira on childcare.co.uk and decided to give her a try. I was happy she lived close to my house. My 3 years old daughter when she started at first was a bit apprehensive as would any child who is being separated from her mother for the first time. But as time went on she warmed up to her and was always looking forward to go there. She would always come home and tell me what she had for lunch at Zunaira's place and am happy Zunaira urged her to try eating fruits which she disliked at first. Zunaira was quite supportive and always offered to take my princess in urgent situations. She was also very kind enough to pick my son from school whenever I was running late. She has a very nice setting and her kids are lovely and accommodative. It's a shame we don't live close enough now as my daughter always ask of her. Thank you Zunaira for being there at a time we needed you most. 😘

Thank you so much for your kind words and really working with you is very pleasant experience for me as well . Coco is such a darling and I really miss her .
Kind Regards.
Zunaira.
I am a mother of two beautiful children. My elder son is 2 years old and my daughter is just 5 months old. I am very protective about my children’s health, hygiene, and the environment they are in. I was looking for a childminder near my work who respects my needs and takes good care of my children so that I dont have to worry about them and focus on work.
Someone at my work told me about Zunaira and no doubt she was even better than what I expected. She took such good care of my children, specially my younger one, she rarely stays with anyone except me for longer than an hour or hour and a half. However, she loves zunaira and is always happy when she is around. I love to see how my kids are happy with her.
Moreover, I like the setup she has, it is very safe for my 5 month old baby, and she takes good care of hygiene.
I will highly recommend Zunaira, she is a very loving and kind-hearted person.
