My daughter absolutely loves going to this setting for few years now. Safety measures are exemplary, and she feels completely secure and happy here. Hira provides a warm, nurturing environment that excellently supports emotional well-being. I love that they make visits to the local library and park.
Communication with parents is excellent. This is a welcoming and perfect setting that I cannot recommend enough!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, It is my pleasure to have your daughter in my setting and you as a cooperative parent which helps me to grow and
My daughter absolutely loved it here. The environment is a home away from home, clean and tidy with lovely healthy food available. My daughter looked forward to going here after school which says everything. Hira took time to get to know her and understand her needs, very child focused. Although my daughter hasn’t been diagnosed I suspect she is on the autistic spectrum and had no issues here again because of how Hira takes time to get to know your child and how best to care for them.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a child minder.

Warm family and excellent tendance. When we started, my son was just 2 and had never been to any playgroups or childminder before. Changed from the shy boy from the beginning, I could feel that he loves being with this childminder and her family and this must be established by a caring and loving tendance. I could be rest assured to go to work after dropping my son.
