Finding the right childminder for our son (who was only few weeks to turning one) felt like such a big decision, especially as I had only recently decided to return to work. We visited a few childminders who had lovely settings with lots of toys and space, but something just didn’t feel right and I knew if I didn’t find someone I truly felt comfortable with, I wouldn’t start work yet.
Then we met Nads, and everything changed. From the moment we walked in, she didn’t just welcome us, she made a real effort to connect with our son, and that was so comforting. Instead of just showing off her setting, her focus was on him — asking about his routine, his personality, and what makes him happy. That instantly showed the kind of person and carer she is. Her assistant is equally kind and caring, and together they made us feel like we were leaving our son in a home away from home.
Nads and her team feed him so well with fresh, home-cooked meals and fruit for snacks and she even kept to his home routine, including naps, which made the transition so much easier for him. She genuinely has his best interests at heart. Our son is a naturally smiley, happy little boy, and Nads’ bubbly personality made us confident she would nurture and keep that joy alive.
One thing I especially appreciated was how open and responsive she was to feedback. I mentioned my concern about our son going into the kitchen, and she quickly installed a baby gate, which gave me huge peace of mind. She also has fantastic communication , sending me photos and little updates which makes me feel so reassured while I’m at work.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. Nads provides not just care, but love, routine, communication, and a safe, happy environment. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who will truly treat their child as their own.

I have been using her services for my elder daughter for school pickups for a couple of years but have recently started my younger one with her and i feel at ease when my kids are with her. She is very punctual in pick ups, keen to serve good quality food and tries multiple activities with younger kids. The house is very clean and safe for kids. She also gives a sum up of my daughter's day with her in a paper form which is very helpful. She is also quite flexible with timings. I would highly recommend.

Lovely Lovely lady who my daughter loves going to. I needed someone very short notice (the next day) and she was very accommodating and really helped me out.
My daughter is always well fed and is always smiling going in and coming home.
Thank you for everything you do for my daughter!

Trusting Nads with our little boy was one of the best decisions we've made! It was very difficult to even think about leaving our baby with a total stranger, but after meeting with Nads we were put straight at ease. The first few weeks haven't been easy as the baby was so attached to us, but the constant communication and reassurance has made the transition into the next chapter so much easier. Such a clean, friendly and fun environment and we couldn't ask for a nicer person to help care for our son.

Started my son here to get him used to being around other people before he starts nursery as I haven’t left him with anyone before. Initially, my son was very upset about leaving me and I was close to taking him out however, over the course of a few weeks he settled and the lady made him feel really comfortable.
My son made some friends there and enjoyed his time there too. It’s a homely environment and they are given freshly cooked homemade food.
Overall, I recommend this childminder and I am pleased with her services and professionalism throughout.

Finding Naheed truly felt like a gift as our 13 month old was not happy or settled in nursery and we made the decision to move her to a more intimate setting a week before I started back at work! Naheed was fantastic and accommodated us last minute, reassuring us that she would look after our attached daughter and keep her happy. We started settling her in the day after we met her and Naheed worked with us to ensure that smooth transition.
Our daughter was so content and settled, Naheed is really good with her and all the kids. She has a magic touch and gives so much care and attention to the kids and the parents. She understood how anxious we were and the communication was brilliant. She gave our daughter the attention she needed whilst she settled, and encourages independent play now that she is less fearful of her environment. We thought she would struggle sleeping in a new environment but Naheed can put her to sleep with no issues and understands her cues due to her years of experience.
We are so relieved we found her and we know being in her environment will do a world of good for our daughter’s development. She has other kids to play with in a clean environment, has nice homely food that she enjoys, and gets to do fun activities like reading, painting, and going to the park.
Thank you!
