In my last inspection, I have achieved a good grade from Ofsted. I accept all government funding, including 15hr government funded hours.

Our daughter was at Shafia’s setting for a year and she thrived while she was there. Shafia and Abdul provide excellent care. They are very warm and have excellent relationships with the children in the setting. Our daughter was always happy to go in and settled quickly. She learnt a lot in the setting, made good relationships with the other children and developed brilliantly while she was in their care. They are lovely, warm people who really enjoy what they do. We are so pleased that our daughter was cared for by Shafia and Abdul and would highly recommend them to anyone.

My son was with Shafia for almost 2 years. For him it felt like a second home and every time we go past where she lives he always asks if he can pop in and say hello. Shafia and her husband Abdul and extremely warm individuals who take great care and love in what they do. We were very sad when our son left but all kids grow up and move on! I would not hesitate to anyone sending their child to Shafia. They only want and do the best for the child, seeing everyone as an individual and caring for them as if they were their own.

Thank you Natasha for your touching review! It was my pleasure looking after your son, I’m glad that you are happy with my childminding service!
We have used Shafia and Abdul as our childminders for both of our daughters and had a really positive experience. My youngest daughter is still there and the oldest still sometimes asks to go in her school holidays. They are kind, caring people and their setting is calm and clean with lots of great toys and activities, including a garden. Both girls were very happy and comfortable, which gave me and my partner great peace of mind. They provide nappies and provide an excellent range of home cooked food. My girls napped more successfully for Shafia than they did for me. They are responsive and flexible, which is very helpful as both partner and I work full time. They also accept tax free childcare and offer the 15 and 30 hours childcare, which makes a big difference for us.
