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.
