Farzana

Best childminder in Manchester

I have been sending my little boy to Farzana since he was 9 months old, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provides.
Farzana is kind, caring, and incredibly flexible. Even if I ask on the same morning, she always tries her best to accommodate my childcare needs, which has been a huge help for our family.
I have never had any concerns about leaving my child with her. She always keeps any leftover food in his lunchbox, so I can see how much he has eaten during the day. My son has never come home with a heavily soiled nappy or nappy rash, which shows how attentive and caring she is.
My child is always happy to go to her, and that gives me great peace of mind. Her home is always spotlessly clean, welcoming, and smells lovely.
I would happily give Farzana 5 out of 5 in every category. Thank you, Farzana, for taking such wonderful care of my little boy. You are the best childminder in Manchester, and I truly appreciate everything you do!

Thank you Divya it’s my pleasure I look after your child and I have a wonderful and supportive family who always support me and encourage me with my work I really appreciate it ❤️🌹

Highly recommended

I highly recommend this childminder😊 My son has been attending for over a year now and we are very happy with the care he receives Before he started here when he’s around 9 months old he wouldn’t go to anyone and was very attached to us. I was really worried about how he would settle in but she was so patient kind and caring that he quickly became comfortable and happy.
Now he gets excited when it’s time to go and absolutely loves his nursery aunty….. Seeing him so cheerful and happy makes us so grateful. She is also very flexible and understanding
If I’m running a little late or need an extra day at short notice she has always been helpful and accommodating whenever possible. That has been a huge support for our family. Thank you for providing such a safe, caring, and loving environment I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can truly trust with their child.

Refusal due to my daughter having mild autism

I am extremely disappointed and saddened by my experience.

My daughter was refused babysitting simply because she has mild autism. As a parent, I find this incredibly upsetting. Autism is not something to be feared or treated as a reason to exclude a child. My daughter is kind, loving, funny, and deserves the same opportunities and respect as any other child.

What upset me the most was the impression that her diagnosis alone was enough to make a decision, without any effort to get to know her as an individual or understand her needs. Every autistic child is different, and making assumptions based solely on a diagnosis only reinforces harmful stereotypes.

As a parent, I am genuinely disgusted and heartbroken that, in this day and age, a child can be turned away because of a disability. I hope this experience encourages greater understanding, compassion, and education about autism so that other families do not have to experience the same hurt.

I cannot recommend a service that made my daughter feel excluded because of who she is.

This reviewer has never used my childcare services at all.The statements made in this review do not reflect any genuine experience of our setting and are factually inaccurate.
Our setting is committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment where every child is treated with dignity and respect. Any decisions regarding placements are made only after careful consideration of whether we can safely and appropriately meet a child’s individual needs, and the amount of places I have, never on the basis of a diagnosis alone. They made an enquiry at a time when we had no vacancies available, and unfortunately we were unable to offer a place.
As this review appears to be from someone who has not used our services and contains false allegations, we have asked Childcare.co.uk to investigate and remove it.
She has given me 1 star review on everything without using my childcare services at all. This review is completely false. She has also given reviews to other childcare services without using their services.

The Best Childminder I Could Have Asked For

I honestly can’t recommend Farzana enough. She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my child. From day one she created such a safe, warm and loving environment that immediately put me at ease.

She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable, and I always feel confident leaving my child in her care full time. The bond she has built with my child is so special and secure. You can really see how much genuine love, care and compassion she puts into what she does.

Farzana is not just a childminder, she truly treats the children like her own. She is kind, friendly, patient and always goes above and beyond.

I’m so grateful to have found her. She’s simply amazing.

Great childminder

I requested Farzana to look after my 3 years old son as i was preparing for my exams and had a surgery during those days as well. She also provided pick and drops. She is really a nice professional person. I was able to alter days or time and hours with her as sometimes i wanted late or early pickups. It is difficult to manage with nurseries.
She provides pickup from schools which is really good.

Amazing service

My friend recommended Farzana to me as she is been her childminder for 10 years. I have been talking my 2 kids to Farazan for last 2 years. All I can say is professional service, friendly environment .My tow kids are EXTREMELY happy with her. My boy started talking in full sentences just few months after his first birthday.

I’m happy with her service I would like to write honest reviews that is why I waited this long. I DEFINITELY recommend Farzana to everyone who are looking for Childminder.

Talented, Passionate for kid’s development

Farzana is great with my son, after the second day he has never cried when I dropped him off. He looks forward to and enjoys his days at her home playing with the other children, toys and learning. Farzana has a gift and passion in working with kids, she assesses and tailors each childs development to achieve results. It’s great to see how my son has progressed since he started in February 2023. I would highly recommend her to others!

Child Friendly Setting

I would highly recommend this service to all parents. I was struggling to look for a reliable childminder. Farzana has been great towards my 6 month old daughter and meeting her needs. My daughter always has a smile on her face when I pick her up. Friendly atmosphere and environment. Plenty of fun toys, tv and music all child friendly. The setting is clean and hygienic. Great communication and professional. My daughter is well settled and loves this setting. I am confident when my daughter grows up, she would get along with other children in this setting and school. I have no concerns, very satisfied.
