We only wish we had known Fatima sooner, as we would have sent our daughter to her much earlier—especially since she lives just across the road from us!
We had to transition away from our previous nursery due to an upcoming move, and Fatima went above and beyond to accommodate us. She helped guide us through the entire transition process and even assisted us in securing funding for the two weeks our daughter was going to be with her.
Although our two-year-old daughter attended her for just 7 days over two weeks, the positive impact has been incredible. At her previous nursery, it took her almost an entire term just to start speaking to her key worker. With Fatima, she started talking right away! Being in a smaller group setting with dedicated 1-to-1 attention has worked wonders for her confidence, particularly when interacting with people outside of our immediate family.
We especially love Fatima’s proactive approach to childcare. Instead of staying in one place, she regularly takes the children to different playgroups and out-and-about exploring, which has helped our daughter learn so much from these rich, varied experiences.
Above all, Fatima is exceptionally caring, loving, and attentive. She listens closely to everything our daughter says and does, offering constant encouragement and praise. If we weren't moving away from Birmingham, we would have happily kept our daughter in her care until she turned three.
Thank you, Fatima, for everything, and for being such an exceptional childminder and teacher to our girl. She misses you already!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a wonderful experience to look after your daughter. She is such a sweet and bright girl with a clear, amazing future. I hope the best for you all and wish you all good luck. Thank you for letting me take care of your daughter, it was a pleasure!
My daughter absolutely loves going to Fatima! She’s always excited to go and comes home full of stories about the fun things they do — from crafts and baking to dancing and games. It’s clear she’s cared for in a warm, happy environment. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

It’s always lovely to have your daughter here with us, she is such a bright girl. She is welcome every time!
I have had a number of childminders as my two kids have grown. None come close to Fatima and how supportive and caring she is with my daughter. She always updates me regularly with pictures and videos, and plans plenty of activities to keep her entertained. My daughter loves her to bits and is always excited when she goes in. Highly recommend Fatima every time. Thank you for all you do ❤️

thank you for your kind review!!! you little girl is so sweet and wonderful.
“An amazing and caring childminder! ❤️ She keeps the kids engaged with fun activities—reading, coloring, library visits, playgroup, and park trips. 🌳📚 A safe and welcoming place! She’s super flexible with my schedule, and my son loves it so much he wants to go every day, even though he’s only meant to go three times a week! So grateful to have found her. I highly recommend!
