I think Halima is one of the best I have met, that's why I can recommend her with no hesitation. She is very professional, respectful, communicates well, so I know what I stand on even if she is busy. I visited her to get to know briefly before I brought my daughter in. She is very warm, friendly and her place is clean. My daughter had just been with Halima last weekend for 4hrs and didn't want to go home. Halima has good prices as well. She is in town centre, which is a perfect location. I trust her and hoping for a long-term cooperation. Thank you Halima.

Thank you so much for the lovely compliment and for choosing Halima’s Little Learners to care for your child.
Halima is an amazing childminder. It was the first time for us that we left our 22 month old daughter to someone and we were stressed about this idea. She was very professional and took care of our daughter like a mom would do. The food she provodes is balanced, adapted to her age and she respectes her rythm. She does a lot of activities as well to entertain her. On top of that, she is a very kind woman full of attention for us, I recommend her 1000%.

Halima is a trusted and reliable person and good in building good relationships with the child and the whole family. Halima started looking after my children way back even before becoming a registered child minder. Children are well looked after under her care, feels happy and comfortable, to me is like a home away from home, am less anxious and able to concentrate when my child is with her, without forgetting she is a good cook too. I recommend her to parents who are looking for carrying and safe environments for their children.
