Our experience with Zainab and her team

My son’s nursery closed quite unexpectedly and I had to find an alternative care due to being a full time working mum. On the first visit we were shown around the whole setting and my son was an awe of the playrooms. She was very welcoming and accommodating to my hours of work.
My son will be beginning the journey for ASD assessment and he has needs that needed to be catered to. I provided them with a booklet about my son with his dislikes, likes, favourite foods, etc and they were more than happy to cater to these.
My son loves puzzles, it calms him and regulates him, they let him freely play with puzzles and he always came home so happy that he got to do that.
Every time I picked up or dropped off there was always a warm and welcoming atmosphere at the door.
I loved all the services which were provided (half term care, summer holidays care, school drop offs) and I’m so gutted that the school pick ups have stopped as we would have stayed for much longer!

Like a Second Home for Our Daughter

As full-time working parents, finding the right childcare for our daughter was one of the most important and emotional decisions we had to make. Our daughter has been with Zainab since she was just 3 months old, and now she is nearly 4.

Before choosing Zainab’s setting, we visited several others, but our daughter would often become upset and cry when others tried to hold her. However, during our first visit with Zainab, it was completely different—our daughter was calm, smiling, and even giggling in the arms of both Zainab and Nosheen. That initial warmth and connection gave us a strong sense of reassurance.

I was naturally hesitant about sending my baby to a childminder at such a young age, but Zainab and her team did everything they could to put us at ease. They regularly sent pictures and videos to keep us updated and even created a personalised routine book for our daughter, which meant so much to us.

Over the years, our daughter has always looked forward to going to the setting. She’s grown in so many ways—she knows all her colours, shapes, numbers, and alphabet, and her speech has developed beautifully.

While she has occasionally come home with minor bruises or scratches, we understand this is part of the natural learning and exploring process at her age. As long as she remains safe and does not sustain any serious injuries, we accept that these little marks are simply part of her adventurous spirit and healthy development.

We are truly grateful for the loving, safe, and nurturing environment Zainab has created. The impact it has had on our daughter’s growth and happiness is immeasurable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start in her early years.

Flexible, reliable and caring

As a working parent it's never easy to leave our kids elsewhere but Iris made my children adapt very smoothly to this new situation making me more relaxed and with the certainty that they are being good taken care off. Plus the flexibility she offers I couldn't be more happy. Feel very lucky to have found her.

Childminder review

Lovely childminder that's always flexible. My daughter was well looked after and loved the activities that was held. Moreover, my daughter enjoyed the delicious food that was served. Highly recommend!
