Hayat's Reviews

Exceptional Experience

Hayat has been caring for my son for the past four months, starting when he was just 13 months old — and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the first interview with Hayat, I felt her engaged personality and rigorous approach to childcare. She has created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment that helped him settle in very quickly. He absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every day, running towards her every morning. This speaks volumes about the bond they've built.

Hayat has a natural gift with children — she’s calm, caring, and incredibly attentive to each child's needs. I’ve seen so much growth and confidence in my son since being in her care, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy and thriving. Her setting is clean, well-organised, and filled with enriching activities that keep the little ones engaged and smiling. She proactively finds activities outside the home and park, such as developmental playgroups, visits to the zoo, and playtime at the aquapark. She prepares healthy, balanced, and diverse meals herself, some of which we have replicated at home. Hayat’s communication is also excellent: we always feel informed and reassured about how his day has gone.

I truly feel lucky to have found Hayat. She’s been a fantastic support not only to my son but to me as a parent too. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a dedicated and loving childminder

A truly wonderful childminder

We began with Hayat after the nursery we had registered for fell through for our 2 year old toddler, and we could not be more grateful now for having started with a childminder. We now realise it has provided the perfect nurturing environment and transition for our son before moving into a nursery or school setting.

And we could not have asked for a better childminder in Hayat. She went above and beyond in the settling-in process, helping both our son and even us feel comfortable and secure, being incredibly empathetic to both his and our needs. We’ve really valued how open, consistent, and reassuring her communication has been. She has continued to be so considerate, especially as we welcomed another baby into the family, offering thoughtful help with pick-ups and easing the daily routine.

I’m always so impressed by how well she combines her knowledge of child development with a natural ease in understanding our son as an individual. She’s been so intuitive in recognising how he navigates the world and responds to his needs accordingly.

Our son is always in a great mood when picked up, and in such high spirits for the rest of the day. Its been a joy to see his confidence grow and the relationship they have developed together.

Warmth ; Felt like home away from home

I don’t even know where to start with how amazing and lovely Hayat is! She looked after my two boys with so much warmth, dedication and attention, and we instantly took a great liking to her and her setting. Every experience has been nothing but positive—they’re always so happy to go back, and I never have to worry about whether they’ve eaten or been cared for properly. She’s got such great creativity and energy to match my two little munchkins, which is a huge bonus.

On top of that, she always provides great detailed feedback and observations, so we know exactly how they’re doing. There’s always something planned to keep them engaged, which we really appreciate.

I’m honestly so sad that we’ve moved to another city and won’t have the opportunity to keep coming to you. You’ve been such a big part of our lives, and we’ll truly miss you! Couldn’t have asked for a better childminder.
