Truly exceptional care

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Mahnoor. It’s very difficult to put into words just how much we appreciate everything she does for our son, but we honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for him.

When we first started looking for childcare, one of our biggest worries was leaving our little boy with someone else. But with Mahnoor, that worry disappeared very quickly. She has created such a warm, loving and nurturing environment that he genuinely feels like he is at home with her. And as a parent, that feeling is priceless.

He is so happy when he is with her, and he has built such a beautiful bond with her. She makes him feel safe, listened to and loved, and she treats him with so much patience and kindness. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about him. She knows his little personality, his likes and dislikes, notices when he is not quite himself and always seems to know exactly what he needs.

We love hearing about everything he gets up to during the day. Mahnoor puts so much effort into making sure the children have interesting, varied and enjoyable experiences. She takes them on different outings, gets them outside, gives them opportunities to explore and encourages them to experience new things. He comes home happy and excited to tell us about his day.

Mahnoor also takes such great care with his food and provides a really good variety of healthy, nutritious, homemade meals and snacks. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing that he is eating well during the day and being encouraged to try different foods. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is eating well.

Mahnoor is fantastic at supporting his development too. She doesn’t just focus on keeping the children entertained — she thinks about what they are learning and how she can help them develop. Through play and different activities, she works on their physical development and fine motor skills, while making everything fun and age appropriate.

We’ve particularly noticed how much more confident and independent our son has become. She encourages him to do things for himself, make choices, have a go and keep trying when something is difficult. She gives him the support he needs without taking away his opportunity to learn for himself. Seeing how much he has grown in confidence has been amazing.

Something we really value is how attentive she is to his health and wellbeing. She picks up on the little things that we might not even notice straight away. If he seems different, isn’t himself or she has any concerns about his health, she notices and lets us know. That level of care and attention makes us feel incredibly reassured that he is in safe hands.

But I think the biggest compliment we can give Mahnoor is simply this: our son feels at home with her. He is happy, settled, comfortable and completely himself. He has someone outside of his immediate family who he trusts and feels safe with, and that means everything to us.

Mahnoor has become such an important part of his life and has helped him grow in so many ways — not just with his development and independence, but with his confidence, happiness and emotional wellbeing too.

As parents, we could never ask for more than knowing our child is genuinely happy and loved when he is away from us. We leave him with Mahnoor knowing that he is being cared for with the same warmth, patience and affection that we would give him ourselves.

We are so grateful for everything she does, every day. She really does go above and beyond, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We feel very lucky that she is part of our son’s life.
