Shazia's setting is incredibly warm, fun and caring. You know that your child gets a lot of focussed, one to one, attention (and hugs) while still being surrounded by other children :)
My son started there when he was 16 months and I got a good feeling from Shazia from the beginning. She is very caring, has a good sense of humour and clearly loves children. My son adores her and runs in every morning (without saying goodbye!) He also loves playing with her grown up children, who work with Shazia on occasion. His language skills improved very quickly after starting there & he has created really strong relationships with the other kids. He loves Shazia’s home cooking, especially her rice dishes. I always feel good dropping my son off there in the mornings, I would highly recommend her.

Shazia has been looking after our two year girl for around six months now. She is caring, patient and warm and does a fantastic job with our highly energetic toddler. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to spending time with her and always greets her with a smile. We have seen huge strides in her development particularly around her speech. Can’t recommend her enough! She is always accessible and really listens to our needs.

We were a bit nervous about putting our daughter in childcare when she was 1 year old – she had never been looked after by anyone else – but Shazia was absolutely amazing, and put us at ease. She is such a calm, caring and friendly person, with lots of experience as a childminder and mum. Our daughter is now 2 years old, and she adores her time at Shazia's. She has made great friends with the other babies and children, and she loves spending time with Shazia's grown-up children, too. She also loves Shazia's food, and all the arts and crafts activities. Shazia has created a lovely and nurturing environment. I highly recommend her.

Our daughter was with Shazia for just over a year and her setting became like a home from home. Our daughter immediately settled in Shazia's presence and Shazia was very warm and caring. My daughter absolutely adored her!
Shazia is a very proactive childminder who undertakes numerous activities with the children, something which was very important to us. Within a couple of weeks my daughters confidence had blossomed and she absolutely thrived in her childminding setting.
I would absolutely recommend Shazia to anyone who is nervous about leaving their children in childcare for the first time and for anyone looking for a childminder that is personable, approachable and extreme friendly. We were extremely sad to leave Shazia when the time came as my daughter had built a lovely relationship, not only with Shazia herself but also her daughters who my daughter adored. A beautiful family and beautiful home, the perfect childminder and setting.
Thank you Shazia for everything x

My husband and I cared for our daughter for the first 16 months and knew that she was going to find it tough being away from us. Shazia was amazing from the very first day, she put all of our worries to rest very quickly, and still gives us great guidance when needed.
Shazia is calm, affectionate and playful. Our daughter absolutely loves her and spending time at her very spacious flat or going on adventures with her and the other children. She takes on a small number of children so that she can give them as much attention possible. Shazia dedicates a lot of time and effort to observing the children, checking on their development, and organising interesting and fun activities for them at home and outside. Our daughter loves all the messy play. She also loves Shazia's cooking! Shazia's own children, who are teenagers and young adults, are lovely and treat the little ones like family, our daughter loves being around them.
I cannot say enough about Shazia, she has been a godsend for us. I highly recommend her and cannot imagine our lives without her!

Being a first time mum and having a premie baby I was a scared and protective mother. No one can care for my daughter like I do, that was my mind set.
After trying day care nursery and my daughter finding it hard to settle and also I just didn’t feel comfortable with the setup. I was very reluctant to leave my daughter with anyone. But when I went to se shaiza I was supervised at how nice her property was and how much open space there was. Shaiza worked very hard to settle me and my daughter in. I think if it wasn’t for shaiza I would still be looking for childminder. Only way I can discribe shaiza is that she takes care of my daughter like a Mum would. And I thank god for being shaiza into our life and thanks to childcare.co.uk for connecting us. Very very very highly recommend.

Thank you so much Ruhi!
Shazia provides excellent reliable care for our one year old son. She is kind, considerate and provides a safe environment for our child when we are at work. She also uses the time with Henry effectively, teaching him new skills which he loves to show us once he is home. Thanks.

Thank you very much Anna, It was lovely looking after Henry!
Shazia has taken care of our daughter since she was 9 months old. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a natural with children, with a warm and caring approach, and years of experience as a minder, and as a mother. Shazia treats the children in her care like her own, with such personalised attention to their likes, dislikes, patterns of sleeping and eating, individual abilities, and teaching and encouraging them through new challenges and stages in collaboration with the parents. Unlike busy day care facilities and many other child minders, you never get the feeling your child is being put through the paces, rather it's like leaving them with a member of the family who really cares about their emotional well being and development as much as their physical needs. Every time we arrive at Shazia's, our daughter breaks into a huge smile. Kids adore Shazia as much as she adores them. I have complete confidence when I leave our child with Shazia, which is such a huge relief as a parent of a young child each day at work. Five stars.

Thank you for such a warm, lovely review!
Shazia has cared for my son for 30 hours a week for over a year, since he was 10 months old. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Shazia welcomed him into the heart of her family, always prioritising his wellbeing. I trust her implicitly, whether she's with my son in her clean and spacious home, or taking him out to the park, library or playgroups. Shazia's own children are a complete delight, which means I'm confident that he will develop well in her hands. Shazia is caring regarding my son's routine, dietary needs and needs - requesting things like sun cream in hot weather, or an extra hat when it's cold. She takes the initiative in providing fun, educational activities which have helped him progress. I hope we will continue to have a relationship with her for a long time to come.
