Our daughter was looked after by her full-time when she was 8–9 months old, and she has continued to babysit for us whenever we need extra help.
She is an incredibly warm, caring and loving childminder, and we always felt completely comfortable leaving our daughter with her. She was very affectionate with her and our daughter was always happy and well cared for in her home.
She also prepared lovely home-cooked meals for her, which we really appreciated. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality of care she provides.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy childminder.

Zohra has looked after our 18 months son over the last months and I couldn’t be happier to have found her! You can tell how much Zohra cares about the children and really treats them like family. He is always in such a great mood when I pick him up and I can tell he’s been having the best time.
Zohra is also great at communicating. It was my first time leaving my son and I felt so safe leaving him in her care. She was very reinsuring and honest. I really trust her and I did not worry.
I initially got Zohra’s details through a friend whose kids had been going to Zohra’s for years and I can see why. I felt her warmth from our first contact on the phone and really recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

Zohra has been taking care of our 2-year old daughter for the past year and a half. We couldn’t be happier with her as our childminder. Zohra is a caring, sweet, honest and cheerful person and the kids adore her. With her flexible and patient nature, Zohra has made everything easy for us, from the adaptation period to our busiest weeks of work and travel.
Our daughter is always very happy and excited to go to Zohra. She has a wide variety of toys for all age groups, a garden that they often use, and the company of other children of different ages. Every morning, Zohra takes them out to either a playgroup or the park.
Importantly, Zohra has managed our daughter’s multiple allergies perfectly, without a single incident, and we have always felt confident that our daughter was safe. Even with all the food restrictions, Zohra has managed to cook some delicious meals that our daughter loves. She keeps meticulous track of nap times, food intake, and other details, which she takes the time to explain at pick-up.
As a couple with no family in the UK raising our first kid, Zohra has guided, comforted and taken care of us, and she is now our chosen family.
We couldn’t imagine a more loving and familiar childcare experience

My son has been under Zohra's care for about a year now and it has been such a wonderful experience.
Zohra has many amazing qualities that make her by far the best childcare giver I have hired. She is patient, punctual, loving, reliable, honest, conscientious, caring, giving, compassionate, and always has a great attitude.
I've seen my son flourish under her care. He went from being very attached to me to very independent all while under her care. She never gave up and was extremely patient with him. Most importantly, my son quickly grew attached to her and her family.
Zohra takes it upon her self to ensure the kids under her care are having diverse experiences. She is always attending play groups or doing activities to keep the kids entertained while learning. She also has a lovely set up at home with a garden for the kids to play.
Outside of her daily duties, Zohra has gone above and beyond for my family. She is such a genuine person who truly cares for the children and families. There were countless instances where she stepped in when we couldn’t be there for our children (worked extra hours or on the weekend, took my son to the GP, etc). It was such a relief as we have no family in the UK. Even my daughter (age 7 and in primary school) enjoyed spending time with Zohra.
I can’t say enough good things about Zohra and my family is so happy she is part of our life. When I'm at work, I never have to worry about my son as I know he is in the best hands.
I highly recommend Zohra to anyone looking for a warm and loving childminder in Notting Hill.

We have been extremely happy with Zohra ever since our 16 month old son started with her. You can tell straightaway from how organised she is and how she interacts with the children that she has very significant experience (20+ years!) of being a childminder. Zohra has a warm, genuine, and loving personality, and it really comes across how much she cares for the children she looks after.
She is very well known in the area and takes the children out to playgroups or other activities every day. She also has a lot of good toys for the children to play with at home, as well as a garden where they can easily go outside.
Zohra did not have any reviews on the Childcare website when we first contacted her, but as soon as we met her she gave us several referral letters, including contact details from families she had worked with in the past. We spoke directly to the parents of four children who had been in Zohra’s care, and they were all extremely happy and complimentary.
We are so very happy that we chose Zohra to look after our son and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a childminder in the Notting Hill area.
