Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Our 2 year old has been with Nabila for almost a year and it’s has been wonderful ! Nabila is very calm and loving, making the children feel at ease and welcomed into her home and family. My son often says “ I love Nabila’s house and I love Nabila” and often asks to go on the weekends :-) She always has time to talk, is great at communicating and very quick at replying ! As working parents we appreciate her flexibility, and I feel at ease knowing my son is with her. She has been really helpful with coming up with creative ways to help support napping schedules for our very active busy brained son ! She seems to take everything in her stride and provides wonderful care.

Nabila clearly has excellent experience of the EYFS curriculum and comes up with fun and educational daily activities for the children to engage with from going the supermarket to learn about maths to exploring in nature and creating art. You can tell she loves her job, and the children feel this!

Overall, I cannot recommend Nabila enough! We are so grateful for her loving care and warm approach to all her interactions with us and her son.

Thank you so much, Beulah, for your beautiful and heartfelt review. It truly means so much to me.
It has been such a pleasure having your lovely son as part of my little crew. He brings so much joy, energy and personality to our days, and I absolutely love seeing him learn, explore and grow.
I’m so happy that he feels happy, safe and at home here, hearing that he says he loves Nabila’s house and asks to come at the weekend really made me smile!
Thank you for trusting me with his care and for being such a wonderful family to work with. It’s genuinely a pleasure having him in my setting, and I look forward to all the adventures and memories still to come.

Nabila has been absolutely brilliant with our twin toddler daughters. Finding childcare you can completely trust is always a worry, but Nabila immediately put my partner Sandra and me at ease with her warm, engaging, and professional approach.
​She provides a fantastic, safe environment filled with great activities. It’s been wonderful to see how much our girls, have thrived and enjoyed their time in her care. Nabila is consistently reliable, communicates clearly with us, andpours her heart and soul into the work she does.
​We cannot recommend her highly enough -to any parents looking for a dedicated and supportive childcare provider. She is a true five-star professional, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her! Although the girls are now at nursery we still use her services and consider her a friend.
Also, during a very difficult time when I lost my father earlier this year she was there for us in a way that went above and beyond. On our wedding day she looked after the girls and managed to get them dressed and to the wedding with no problems!
She is the best.

Thank you so much, Lawrence, for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. Your review truly means so much to me.
It has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to care for your beautiful girls. Watching them grow, learn, and thrive has been so special, and I have genuinely loved every moment of our time together.
I’m also very grateful for the trust you and Sandra placed in me from the beginning. It means so much to know that you felt confident and reassured leaving your girls in my care. Supporting your family, especially during such a difficult time following the loss of your father, was something I was more than happy to do.
Looking after the girls on your wedding day and helping them get ready and arrive at the wedding was such a memorable and special moment for me too. And although they are now at nursery, I’m so happy that we still see each other and that our relationship has grown into a friendship.
Thank you again for your trust, kindness and wonderful review. I feel very lucky to have met you, Sandra and the girls, and I will always treasure the memories we have made together.
With warmest wishes,
Nabila

I contacted Nabila through whattsapp after she provided me with her number and explained my child care requirements and she ignored me. Found it rude and unprofessional.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you feel this way. I would like to clarify that I did respond to your enquiry and discussed your childcare requirements with you as I still have our conversation as a proof . I always aim to communicate professionally with families, so I’m disappointed that this review suggests otherwise. I wish you and your family all the best.

Nabila has looked after my firstborn from 16 months until school age and later my twins from 7 months until they started school this month (so almost 5 years!). From the moment we met Nabila, she demonstrated excellent safeguarding, she didn't let strangers into her setting to meet her or expose them to the children she was caring for - This was unlike other practitioners I spoke to at the time. I knew from this professionalism, she would be right for us. Nabila is very qualified and incredible at what she does.

I was so worried about trusting anyone with my children at first, my oldest didn't seem to take to nursery settings as she started at 16 months which is why we originally opted for an Ofsted registered childminder. I wanted someone who would take my children out daily on outings, feed them home-cooked food from different cultures (we are a mixed race family) and give them 1-1 time. We loved the energy and home-cooked meals Nabila made for the girls including factoring their dietary requirements (vegetarians). This all paid off because my girls love their food, they have a positive relationship with it to this day and will eat anything as long as it is cooked well and "with love" - from artichokes to tagine. Nabila is an amazing cook and really looks at their needs and supports what is done at home. She gets them involved in preparing to cook where possible (pasta salad!) which the girls speak fondly about to this day. They have excellent manners and help us at home due to the patience, boundaries and love they are given in this setting.

When it came to nappy training I was full of anxiety from the day they were born. The twins weren't having it when we had tried. Nabila knew and understood our girls well when they were ready and how to handle this and they were toilet-trained within a week thanks to all her guidance and patience - well in advance of starting school.

Nabila has gone above and beyond to support our family. The girls feel safe and loved by Nabila and her family. Our girls have a lot of energy and Nabila always took them out most days to activities at the library, getting books, the children's centre and weekly to the forest school - which they adored. They love going to 'Bila's' and as a parent, it's been reassuring knowing that they are so happy and loved when they are not home with us. Their learning and social communication skills are great for their age, because of the dedication Nabila has to looking after children and focusing on their needs.

One of my twins was diagnosed autistic while in Nabila's care and I found her incredibly supportive when we at times struggled, and she quickly drew up a support plan, underwent more training and helped my daughter hit milestones socially which I thought my daughter wouldn't be able to do so soon - even going so far as to writing her own name.

Everything about Nabila's setting is outstanding, I can't say it enough. She is easy to talk to and listens to feedback and has an incredible level of knowledge and understanding which has helped us so much as parents. Thank you Nabila for all your support over the years and getting our girls to where they are now. I just can't thank you enough.

Dear Leoni,

Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. It was truly a pleasure to look after your precious girls and watch them grow and develop during their time with us. Knowing that you are pleased with the care and attention they received means really a lot to me.

Wishing to the girls all the best in their next adventures, and please do keep in touch!

Warmest regards,

Nabila

Nabila is amazing! My little boy was so happy while going to her setting. He was always well looked after, fed with proper healthy food and entertained. She kept perfect track of his development and kept us up to date with the activities. Nabila followed up on whatever requests we may have had, she is warm and very professional. The setting is incredibly clean and well maintained, her whole family is lovely. She also looked after him during the night and he was so calm with her, she felt like part of our family.
We will truly miss her, but we had to move... All the best Nabila and thank you for everything!!

Dear Tania,

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to receive such positive feedback from you. Watching your daughter grow and thrive has been a delightful experience, and I feel privileged to be a part of her early years' journey.

Your support and trust in my care mean the world to me.

Warm regards,
Nabila

I have been extremely happy with the care my son has received during the 6 months period, and the great progress he has made whilst in Nabila's care. Her home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor interactions and take children to regular Children Center sessions.
Nabila is a great communicator and she helped my son to gain confidence and therefore encouraging a good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others.When my child steps outside his boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which he understands. I truly recommend a great and reliable childminder.
...Hope that helps.

Thank you Miguel for your review of my service.
It with great sadness that I had to see my Joshua go.
I will keep in contact with you and look forward to hearing about his progress.
Best wishes

My daughter really enjoyed this setting with Nabila. The setting was versatile, diverse and suitable from baby to all primary school ages. I was impressed by the genuine duty of care and the time and effort invested in my daughter's welfare and growth. Nabila was more than just a 'babysitter. My daughter had a mentor and someone who encouraged a positive metal attitude, recognition of self worth and growth. The setting is very well organised so that different age groups are engaged in appropriate activities. Nabila's approach to discipline is firm but fair, encouraging respect and manners.A very inspirational role model for children to be around. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity for my daughter to be part of this setting.

Dear Miss RB,

Thanks for your lovely review of my service and for working in partnership with me whilst your beloved daughter were attending my setting, as it has been a true pleasure to care for her.

Best Regards

Nabila

Nabila has looked after my 3year old daughter and she is a good mentor and would recommend her and anyone who want the best out of childcare. Kids are not always stuck in the house, she took them out to playgroups and has a lot of activities at home . Thumbs up to this caring and great childminder.
