My son had an excellent experience with Zafreen Childminder. He started attending when he was 2.5 years old, and from the very beginning, Zafreen proved to be a kind and caring individual who looked after him exceptionally well.
I always felt reassured leaving my son in her care. She provided regular updates, including photos of him playing and enjoying various activities, which gave me great peace of mind. I was particularly concerned about his diet, as he is quite a fussy eater; however, the provision of home-cooked meals was a significant benefit. My son enjoyed the food, and I consistently received updates on what he had eaten each day.
One of the most valuable aspects of Zafreen’s service is her flexibility. She was very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made it much easier to manage around my work schedule.
Overall, I received excellent support, and I would highly recommend Zafreen to anyone seeking a reliable and caring childminder for their children

I cannot recommend Zafreen enough! We feel so lucky to have found Zafreen. My son has been attending her setting since September 2025, and it has been the best decision we’ve made. Zafreen is an absolute amazing human being—warm, patient, and incredibly professional.
Her services are truly brilliant; she creates such a nurturing and stimulating environment. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves going there. Seeing him walk in with a smile every morning gives me total peace of mind. Zafreen is the one!

I found Zafreen through childcare.co.uk and my child within 5 minutes of meeting her was wanting to play and felt comfortable. We have been attending Zafreens childcare for the last 7 weeks 3 times a week and I could not recommend her enough. My child is making so much progress and its all down to Zafreen. I recently also used Zafreens child minding services outside of her usual hours for the entire weekend as I knew her and my child had a good relationship and just like she does when there during the day she updated me regularly. I can tell my child just feels so at home with her. It was a god send to be able to have her watch my child and not have to worry! You will not be disappointed if you send your child to Zafeeen for their daytime hours or her out of hours care either. Thank you Zafreen

Zafreen has looked after my daughter for 1 year so far and has been amazing throughout.
She is very accommodating with hours and understands that working has to be a part of our lives.
My daughter loves going each day and now sometimes doesn't want to leave her friends at the end of the day which is amazing that shes having such a great time in Zafreens setting.
I couldn't recommend Zafreen highly enough for all ages of children.

Zafreen has been looking after my 3-year old boy. I am satisfied with the level of growth he has attained for the past few months.
Zafreen understands how to communicate with clarity and host a very nice, healthy and conducive environment for the kids. The foods are halal and yummy.
They also send pictures and videos of my kid interacting at the nursery and engaging in social gathering that improves his cognitive skills.
Thank you Zafreen

Lovely setting with brilliant staff, they have been so patient with my daughter whilst she settled in. My daughter loves attending and playing with the staff and other children, her confidence and skills have grown and developed so much. I am very skeptical leaving my child in the care of others but I’m very happy leaving her in Zafreens care as I know she will be looked after and taken care of well.
