My Summary
About Me
* There are a range of funded early education and childcare schemes available for parents
I am excpetionally well qualified and also registered with an ofsted. My inspection rated me as 'Outstanding' for the second year in succession to which I am immensley proud and recocognises my total commitment to looking after the interests of children.
We live in a strictly non-smoking home provide nutritious meals to suit your child's individual needs. All food is freshly prepared and cooked from scracth and we can accommodate all sorts of special meal requests and diets including allegries such as dairy, peanut and gluten-free to name but a few.
I am very much nature-based and child led and I have a l safe garden with a number of outdoor activities for children to explore and play. Stimulation for the young mind is essential for development so I place a very high emphasis on crafts and activities planned around celebration, seasons and weather to name but a few.
Fresh air and exercise is an essential part of the day where we take interesting trips to Bushy Park, soft play centres, local landmarks such as Hampton Court, Kew Gardens and museums which is a positive and encouraging response to highly inquistive young minds!
I also have all children's 'Next Steps' on display so that parents can see what I am working on and how we can work closely together as a team to maximise their child's development in my care.
My Experience
Eight years as a registered childminder and previously worked as a nanny for three years which I enjoyed so very much. I did very well which then whetted my appetitie to move positively forward by totally dedicating myself as a career to the welfare and care of children.

Pegah has created a wonderful caring, fun and safe environment for children. The setting is full of toys, books and Pegah’s garden is full of outdoor activities.
Every day the children have fun with varied activities including trips to Kew Gardens, Hampton Court, local farms, indoor and outdoor playgrounds and a variety of home activities helping with children’s development.
My son settled in very quickly. He loved going to see Pegah, her team and his little friends.
I cannot recommend Pegah and her team highly enough.
We are lucky to be a part of Pegah’s happy family!

Honestly, I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible Pegah and her team are. If you’re lucky enough to get your little one into her setting, you will not be disappointed. I could not recommend Pegah enough; on every level she surpasses all expectations. The amount of love, care, effort, and attention she puts into the children is on another level. Every day they’re off doing some sort of amazing activity, visiting a farm, Hampton Court Magic Garden, Kew Garden, Steam Museum, Soft Play and Sandpit to name just a few. Days when they can’t go out due to weather, they are busy doing loads of fun activities or pottering in the amazing little back garden. They prepare beautiful healthy home cooked lunch every day and they can deal with all types of allergies. My son could not have dairy and it was not issue. Pegah focuses on every part of a child’s development. My son has really developed educationally due to Pegah. Reciting the entire alphabets well before he was two. Counting to 10, 20 and then 30. They do loads of fun learning activities. Pegah also spends a lot of time working on emotions and feelings. I feel my little one has received the best start to life because of Pegah & Mehdi. He jumps out of my arms every morning and I cannot get him home in the evening he loves it so much. Forever grateful. Xx

Our 1 year old has been with Pegah and team for a couple of months. It’s great, very much a tailored service, with the child’s needs properly taken into account. Pegah organises a wide variety of daily activities and trips and provides nutritious food, all homemade. His development has come on significantly since joining and we’re so happy he’s having fun whilst learning!

We cannot thank Pegah and her team enough for all of the wonderful care and love that has been shown to our 2.5 year old twins since starting 10 months ago. We have been blown away by the range of thoughtful activities and days out. Our twins have developed so much and are always thrilled to arrive every morning. The daily updates and weekly videos are fantastic and it is clear that Pegah gets to know each child so well. We feel very lucky to have found her!

Pegah and her team provide a wonderful environment for children and we could not recommend her more highly as a childminder. Our son has been with her for nearly 10 months and he is always so excited to be dropped off in the mornings. We have been really impressed by the wide variety of things the children do each week with creative activities and exciting trips. We feel very lucky to have found such a special place for our child to grow up.

Our 2 year old has been with Pegah since he was 9 months old and has loved it from day 1. Pegah and her team go above and beyond in making every day an enjoyable experience for the children. They organise lots of different excursions and in house learning activities each week. Parents are sent a weekly video so they can see what their child has been doing during the week. We are very happy with Pegah’s services and hope to send our newborn to her later this year. We would recommend her to any parents looking for a dedicated and reliable childminder in the Twickenham area.

My two children (1 and 2 years old) have been with Pegah for the past 4 months. Pegah is wonderful - she is so caring, creative and passionate about what she does. The children will go on outings most days, and Pegah provides so many educational activities in her home as well. Both children enjoy going to her so much, and we really feel that she and her team are part of our family. We couldn’t recommend Happy Family enough.

Pegah runs Happy Families out of her home in Cole Park Road- she has converted her ground floor and garden into a child paradise. She is ofsted outstanding and has created a wonderfully nurturing environment for the 10 children who are there with a mix of children from 6month-3 years. She is endlessly inventive (eg she hand made jigsaws for each child), takes educational attainment very seriously (My 2 year old has moved from average to above average in every premise but micro skills which she has got him drawing to get better at), arranges amazing trips out - they go to a petting farm/ Hampton court magic garden/ Kew Gardens every week which is included in the price and is so warm. Plus she is great value- £8/hour for one child £14/hour for two. Our two love being together in the same environment and she takes COVID very seriously. Previously my boy was at Bright Horizons which was good but Pegah is better. Couldn’t recommend her more!

My son has been going to Pegah since just over a month and he is really happy there as Pegah involves kids in different activities and play.
She took my son to Hampton court, Kids play areas, parks, David Lloyds for swimming and kids play and walks.
My son loves to play with Pegah and enjoys his day there while we work.
I strongly recommend Pegah as she is a professional childcare provider with good recommendations for kids growth and learning development.

Pegah has looked after both of my children, as babies and my eldest as a toddler. She is incredibly warm, kind and caring. Pegah is also very responsible and professional, putting the welfare and development of our children first.
I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
