Farjaha

Warm and caring childminder

Farjaha has provided excellent care for our twin daughters. She always keeps us updated and provides a variety of activities for them throughout the day meaning they are always kept busy and stimulated. The setting has a large garden which the children can play in and this has been wonderful for our girls in the summer months. The setting is both stimulating and caring. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kind and flexible childminder in Walthamstow

Farjaha has been looking after my son for a few months now. She has been really flexible and reliable, and her assistants (mum and dad) are great too. They have a fantastic garden & great toys, my son always comes home happy and seems to enjoy his time there. I like how responsive she is, I can message her for updates whenever and she always sends me photos and updates on my son.

Warm, Professional, and Truly Caring

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Farj and her mom, Nano, as childminders for our 1-year-old daughter, Rita. From the very first day, Rita has loved being with them — she smiles the moment we ring their doorbell. The atmosphere is always warm, loving, and professional.

As first-time parents, we’ve felt fully supported by both Farj and Nano, especially during some early challenges around Rita’s sleep. Their experience, patience, and care made a huge difference when we were feeling a bit lost.

Rita is always engaged in a range of fun, thoughtful indoor and outdoor activities, and we love receiving regular photo updates that show just how happy and curious she is in their care.

Farj’s parents (Nano’s husband and wife team) are often there too, and they are both wonderful with the children — Rita clearly adores them all. We feel 100% safe and confident leaving her there every day.

We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Home from home

Farjaha and assistants (her parents) have been caring for one or both of our children for over 5 years now. We were lucky to find her and have no hesitation recommending the setting. Our kids have always been very happy there and we really value the partnership we have with Farj as we navigate the changing needs of our kids together.

Wonderful Childminder

My daughter came to this setting for 2 years, from the age of 10 months. I have to say we all loved Farj and the setting, especially our daughter. Farj always communicated with us very well about all aspects of our daughters care, and made us feel calm and secure when settling in. The setting is a happy place and I know our daughter learned alot there and was stimulated with lots of play and creative activities based on the seasons and different religious festivals. Best of all Farj and her assistants cared for our daughter with compassion and kindness and that means so much. We highly recommend this setting and wish we had never had to leave.

Great childminder!

Farjaha is a great childminder to my daughter. She loves the time spent with Farjaha and the other children and is always excited to go round. I always feel like she is in safe hands and Farjaha is great at updating me on her development and what activities she does each day.

Professional and child centred

I placed my twins with Farjaha and her assistants 18 months ago. I feel very reassured by the standard of care the children have received. In my experience all of the carers love children and enjoy what they do. They are conscientious people providing a warm and welcoming environment within which to care for the children.

My children have formed good relationships with the minders and the other children in their care. There are plentiful opportunities for the children to learn and play and Farjaha has a good understanding of children's development.

When I collect my children, they are always happy to have spent the day and look forward to returning. In the past I have recommended Farjaha to friends looking for childcare and would do so again.

Professional, approachable and kind

I have recently gone back to work and my 15-month-old daughter is currently looked after by Farjaha and her assistants. I saw several childminders before choosing Farj. I was impressed by her professionalism, her child development activities and by the setting, which is a spacious and clean family home. One of the factors that also made me decide to place my daughter with her, was the fact that her assistants are her parents. They are, of course, fully registered and checked, and their presence makes Farj's set-up a family environment, which I really appreciate and my daughter loves. I was very nervous about leaving my daughter for the first time, but Farj really helped me feel calm and reassured, and she tailored the settling in period to suit our needs. As a result, my daughter has settled in well and comes home happy and stimulated. She also seems to be developing her social and mobility skills really well under Farj's care.

Always wonderful

I have 2 handsome boys Akinlolu and Abiola who have been cared for by Farj( as I call her *smiles*) since I first went back to school in 2014 after so long at home. My initial fear of leaving my boys in the hands of anyone else other than myself was erased right from day one because I remember rushing back without attending my last lecture for that day as I was worried and on getting to the setting to pick my boys up I saw them enjoying themselves. And it has been a wonderful time ever since. Children are not easy to please even in their own homes but somehow someway I believe with experience, skill, patience and all Farj has been able to do that for my boys. At the end of last term, I told my boys they may not be going back to Farj because she may be moving and my boys cried and cried. Thank God movement was shelved and they are back with Farj, oh how excited they were. Her parents are her registered and trained assistants who have always been kind and warm hearted. I have gone back to Farjaha Khamkar every year because she meets my boys needs and mine too to the fullest of her ability. I will therefore recommend her absolutely.

Reference

I am Andrea Pahor parent of Maya Blanca Rakhely. She is my 3.5 years old daughter. I know Farjaha Khamkar since 3 year when I sarted to go back to work.
When me meet her for the first time Maya was only 10 months old. Farjaha was very nice with us and the house was also beautiful and safe for our baby. She had all the trainings and skill what needed also her assistances. We meet her parents as well and I accepted they will also take care my little one when need as offsted assistance.
From the beginning we worked together with Farjaha she helped me with feeding properly, potty training, living healthy, later drop and pick her up from school. Whe had some problems with Maya's eating when she was 2 years old. Farjaha sometimes was sitting with her more than 1 hour to make sure she was eaten enough. I saw Maya is happy she loves to go there also loves Farjaha's Mom and Dad. She called them Granpa and Granma.
During the 3 years I had terrible time when I got single last year. I could count always on Farjaha. Sometimes she took her when she suppouse to be off to work because she knew I had to work.
Always was clear her policy. I knew why and how much I have to pay. If I had a worst period and I couldn't pay full ammount when she was on holiday she gave me discount or she said don't pay for some days.
I'm really happy with her and her families job and service. I couldn't ask for better childminder.
