Momtaz

First time Mum review

As a first time mum, leaving my baby with someone new in an unknown environment has never made me so anxious! However, this feeling didn't last long as Momtaz sends updates and pictures everyday! I just love clicking on her chat because it now shows a learning journal for my son from when he started Little Explorers to today. It is so beautiful and heartwarming to see him
happy, enjoying the setting and most importantly settled! He is now excited to go to the childminders and is eager to enter the door!!

Momtaz does a range of activities with the children and has recently taken them to the library and local stay and play groups. Being a first time mum and now being back at work part time, it is easy to feel guilty that my son is missing out on these experiences. However, Momtaz ensures that the children get a variety of learning experiences in her care and I really appreciate that. My son has really warmed to Momtaz as she is naturally caring, loving and gentle.

I would highly recommend this childminder for your children.

Thank you for the lovely feed back it’s so nice when parents are satisfied with the service I provide.

Absolutely amazing!

I just don't know where to start, no words can describe Momtaz's service. My daughter started attending when she was just over a year old. As you can imagine, I was so scared and skeptical to send her to a nursery this young. I contacted Momtaz and she invited me to see her house before agreeing to anything. She put my mind at ease right from the start which really helped my decision. I can still remember the 1st day I dropped my daughter, Momtaz could see I was very upset and she reassured me that she will be fine. That day and there after Momtaz sent me photos and updates to let me know what they were doing during the day and what she ate etc. Momtaz does various activities and takes my daughter to library and other playgroups. I seriously could not have asked for anyone better. She is so nurturing and takes very good care of my daughter. Thanks a million Taz x

Thanks for such a beautiful review so heart warming to know how you feel😘😘

Fantastic child minder

My little boy has been with Momtaz for a month so far and I am more than happy with the care provided. Momtaz sends me photos throughout the day of all the activities she provides for the children and ensures my little boy is included in socialising and participating with the other children. Momtaz has been more than happy to accommodate any requests I have asked in regards to my child's needs and has also been supportive in offering any advice. My little boy loves seeing momtaz, her husband and children and is always excited to go there. I feel very at ease whilst at work knowing my child is in safe hands 😊

Thank you for all your kind words it’s a pleasure looking after your little one it makes me happy taking care of him.

First time mum!

Being first time parents my husband and I were very protective on who we wanted to look after our son now my maternity leave had finished. So we decided on what we thought would be the most reliable, cheap and best option, nanny!

But after about 6 months we both realised that our little boy was getting bigger, much more active and needed to learn more and be around other children and that’s when I decided to employ Momtaz as his childminder. If I hadn’t had already met her at the local stay and plays and seen how she was with the current children she had I’m not sure what I would have done.

My son has now been with her for a year and I can honestly say I can trust her and I’m happy with her as his childminder. He is always busy when she’s with him and he’s always around other children. If he falls over and has a bump she calls me straight away and keeps me updated on photos of him throughout the day. She is also very understanding when I need to change the days around from week to week and also when I needed to come
To a new price agreement financially. There’s also been days when I pick my son up and he doesn’t want to leave! So that’s a good sign. :-)

RECOMMENDED !

When I was searching for a childminder I was pleasant imprest about the previous reviews here. Now my daughter goes 5 days per week and I can confirm everything is written in here is expressing just a small part from what this wonderful lady is doing for my child. My daughter is enjoying her time there and Taz is making sure she is getting quality time indoor and outdoor, introducing games and activities which are stimulating her creativity and imagination. My main concern in the past was about the infections she used to get every month from the nursery, infections that required almost every time treatment and time spent in hospitals, now are already 5 months from when my daughter starts with Taz and I can happily say not even one infection. I highly recommend Taz for everyone who is looking for a trustful childcare!

Highly Recommended

I would love to recommend the Little Explorers as a childminder. Momtaz was kind, loyal, loving and fun. I am currently looking for another childminder as I am moving out of the area and I am gutted that I cannot use the services of Little Explorers. I know that anyone who uses this childminder will not regret it and will instantly feel at ease with Momtaz caring nature and wonderful family. We found her to be reliable, trustworthy and would go beyond the call of duty on many occasions.

Excellent childminding

My daughter has been with Momtaz just over a year and I am very pleased with the care she has been given. She is now 3 years old.

Momtaz has been very kind and friendly from the beginning. She made my daughter feel very comfortable and really learnt to know her to ensure she could respond well to her needs - as simple as what she likes playing with, doing to what her learning needs are. Every couple of weeks, Momtaz has introduced new games or activities, which means that my daughter loves going over and doesn't get bored. Every week, my little one brings home lots of little boxes/keepsakes/cards/paintings/pictures etc.

Twice a week they go to the children centre play and stay, every couple of weeks they go to the library. I really value the magic of books so for me it is very a bonus. I believe children learn so much through books.
The children also play in the garden in which they have plenty of toys and activities, also when the weather is better they garden (courgettes/spinach/pumpkins and others).

What I really value is the fact that she is very professional and knows how to support my child learning needs. Having been a Teacher Assistant, Momtaz excels with building the key foundation skills towards reading and writing - which is crucial for me. Within a couple of months my daughter's skills significantly improved in term of recognising letters. She was just over 2 years old when she arrived and could read all the letters of her name within few months.
I have also been showed my daughter's learning journey. I was also given little tips and activities to continue to support her development in line with what she does when she is with Momtaz.

Communication has always gone well (drop off/collection time/holidays/unplanned unavailability) and when I needed to be informed of an incident (once only), procedure had been followed and I was satisfied that there wasn't any issue, it was easily resolved, I didn't have any further concern.
I know that if I had any concern I could openly approach her to discuss - which crucial.

Momtaz is accommodating and flexible - on many occasions she has helped us when we needed childcare.
She is clean, organised. she communicates well, whenever my daughter doesn't fancy the food I gave her or wants something else, she has always gone out of her way to offer her some options (from her own kitchen).

We had just moved to the area and felt we were lucky to have her.

Good Childminder

My daughter has been going to Taz for around 7 months after recommendation from my sister whose daughter also attends. I have been very happy with the care she has received and feel that she has progressed greatly from the interaction with other children and attending stay and play, the local libary and learning activities within the setting. Taz has a caring and understanding approach and i would highly recommend her.

My child's experience

I have been sending my 2 year old son to taz, my child has been going to taz for the last 2 years now . Since been under the care of taz I have seen significant postive changes in my child's educational needs more importantly I have seen my child excel in his social interaction as I had concerns about his confidence and his social skills . Taz has been very consistent in making sure my child was happy and felt safe and settled in her care . I have also noticed my child is vocally more expressive and is able to communicate with me by using sentences which was one of my other concern . My child had his two year old development check up by the health visitors and is meeting all his milestones . As a parent and as a professional who works very closely with children's I would like to take this opportunity to thank taz for all her hard work , support , consistency and her passion in what she does because the outcome of my child's time in taz's care has had a postive impact on my child's well being as well as his learning and development . As a first time parent it is very daunting to have to put ur child in the care of someone who you don't know but taz has made this transition very easy and comforting for both me and my child . Taz's sense of sincerity and passion in what she does shine's through the moment you walk into her settings , the environment , the aura and presence of her setting attracted me to have taz as my childminder . Am sure every parent who visits taz will feel the same and understand what I say ! Am due my second child !! And feel very at ease knowing that taz will be looking after my child very soon . Once again I would like to take this opportunity to thank taz for been such a postive role model in my child's life .
