Nargis

Couldn’t have asked for more ❤️

I honestly couldn’t recommend Nargis and her wonderful setting highly enough. My daughter has been cared for by Nargis since she was just six months old, and now, as she gets ready to start school, I feel incredibly lucky that she has spent these precious early years surrounded by so much love, care and support.

Nargis, Zahid and Sam have created such a warm, nurturing and professional environment. The focus on the children’s wellbeing and emotional development is second to none. My daughter has always felt completely safe, secure and loved there, which as a parent is everything you could possibly ask for.

At the same time, the children are given so many opportunities to learn and develop. My daughter is starting school already knowing her phonics and numbers, but it has never felt pressured or overly formal — learning is simply woven naturally into their days alongside playing, exploring and having fun.

One of the loveliest things has been watching the friendships she has made. She has grown up alongside a fantastic little group of children who genuinely care about one another, and I’m sure many of those friendships will continue through school and beyond.

Nargis and her family haven’t simply provided childcare; they have been a hugely important part of my daughter’s childhood. Handing your six-month-old baby over to someone else is an enormous act of trust, and I can honestly say I couldn’t have chosen a more loving pair of hands.

As we reach the end of nearly four wonderful years, I’m incredibly grateful to Nargis, Zahid and Sam for everything they have given my daughter. She is leaving as a happy, confident, caring little girl who is genuinely excited and ready for school — and they have played such a huge part in that.

I couldn’t have asked for more. ❤️

To be very honest! THE BEST CHILDMINDER IN WATFORD

Where do I start? They say it takes a village to help raise a child; Nargis and Mr Zahid have been our village. With literal tears in my eyes; my husband and I are profoundly grateful! It’s been 3 & a half years of our daughter going to their place since she was just 1 year and 3 months and it is truly her second home. My daughter Jasmine has learned a lot, from singing, to phonics, to numbers, to arts and craft, to writing and being potty trained; just name it!
She absolutely loves the food and even demands I make the same thing at home. Nargis is no ordinary childminder; her setting is like a nursery but homely. They are accommodating especially with schedules. Words are not enough to describe our experience. Even as my daughter has started reception she’s asking to still go to Nargis 😄. Honestly they’ve been amazing. And this is not to say I haven’t tried others. They are truly the best and that’s where my child feels comfortable.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend Nargis as a childminder. My son has been with her for the past year, and our experience has been wonderful. From the very beginning, she made him feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, and he settled in really well.

Nargis is a caring, kind, and dedicated childminder who genuinely looks after the children in her care. She provides a warm and nurturing environment where my son has grown in confidence.

Outstanding Childminder - 3 Years On..

Our two sons has been going to Nargis and her team for nearly 3 years now. Arlo was just over a year old & Noah had just turned 3 years old when they joined Nargis in 2023.

The boys have been cared for and looked after so well. The boys would tell us what they did/learn during their stay. The boys would generally stay from 07:30am to 6pm 2-3 times a week. Now that Noah is nearly 6 he is at school and Zahid (Nargis’ husband drops and picks up Noah from school) then from September Arlo (soon 4) will be joining his big brother once he starts nursery.

Arlo is already saying he will miss his friends at Nargis’ house even though he will still see them as he will stay at Nargis a few days after Nursery in September.

Now that the boys have been with Nargis for this long we know we can trust her and team to fully look after the boys. It’s always scary leaving your children with a complete stranger but I see the love and care that Nargis has put towards our boys (even though they can be a handful!) The boys love Nargis’ home cooked meals, it’s just one less thing for us parents to worry about just knowing that our boys are feed healthy meals.
If there’s any issues Nargis will always contact us and let us know, and she’s always responsive when I ask how Arlo is doing.

A wonderful childminder who I’ve recommended to so many of our friends and family. Thank you Nargis, Zahid & Sam for all the hard work that you do, we really appreciate you all.

The best childminder in Watford

I highly recommend Nargis and her team. They are amazing with the children and create such a warm and supportive environment.
My son, Oscar, has been with Nargis for over a year, and he has made incredible progress with his communication and phonics. We are a bilingual family, so English was not his first language. Since joining Nargis, he has become fluent and very confident in English, and he has learned so many new skills along the way. He loves the food and all the activities.
He has also made lots of friends, and it's been wonderful to see him grow in confidence and enjoy going every day. We are so grateful for the care, support, and dedication that Nargis and her team have shown him. Thank you so much.

Best decision I ever made

The setting with Nargis and the team is second to none. I really feel as if the care that my daughter receives is exactly as I’d hope to have with an extended family. The love and care that everyone in the setting shows the children is just priceless. She comes home chatting about all of the games and dancing she’s been doing and just full of beans. She has also been developing really well since being with Nargis and is on track to meet all of her milestones.

These years are so precious and I am so glad that I made the decision to ask Nargis and the team to look after my daughter as opposed to sending her to nursery, best decision I ever made. I just wish they looked after them up until 18!

Thank you to Nargis the whole team for everything they have done for my daughter.

Outstanding

Nargis and her colleague are very helpful and great with my child. Their facility is wonderful. As being single parent it was extremely difficult to find the right care for my daughter that I could trust but from the day one Nargis made me feel comfortable and I have peace of mind that my daughter is in great hands when she is with her.

A truly experienced child care

We cannot recommend Nargis highly enough! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our child in her care. She creates a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel safe and happy.

Nargis is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about the well-being and development of every child she looks after. My daughter has been a very fussy. Water. nargis put my mind/heart at ease and now my daughter is eating much better than before. As an experienced mother herself, Nargis took my hand and helps me every step and shows immense patience. She also keeps us updated on a regular basis which is such a thoughtful touch for parents esp as a first time mother, where I am constantly anxious .

We’ve seen so much growth in our child’s confidence and social skills since starting with her. If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy, and professional childminder, Nargis is truly the best!

Very Friendly And Easy To Work With

Nargis and her husband Zahid have been looking after my two year old son since last month. They drop and pick him up on the said timings and are very efficient in what they do. My son has no problems walking into their premises or getting into the car with them .

Definitely would recommend to others .
