Shazia and her daughter Amina started looking after our now 2 year old when she was 11 months old. We were quite nervous about the transition, but Shazia's calm and caring approach put us at ease as our girl settled quickly to her home environment.

Shazia's setting is bright, immaculately clean, with loads of age appropriate toys, delicious home cooked food, and love and attention to meet each child's needs. She runs a range of activities with her little ones- educational, seasonal and outdoor, as well as regularly taking them to the children's centre (since end of covid). We get photos and updates, and our daughter has come on leaps and bounds in terms of confidence, speech and sociability. Thanks to Shazia and her family as part of our girl's extended family, she is now ready for a nursery environment.

We couldn't have hoped for a kinder and more nurturing carer for our child. We're terribly sad to see Shazia move, but know that she will benefit many more children and their parents or carers in her new home.
