Imane looked after our 3-year old son for the day at short notice. He can be quite shy but she made him feel at ease and gave him a lovely day. We also really appreciated how she was able to take on the job at short notice, and happy to keep our son’s potty training going during the day. Highly recommended !:)

Imane was available at late notice to look after our little girl. It was the first time we had childcare for her. Imane did an excellent job, she sent updates throughout the day and was flexible with our times. She is kind and gentle and out little girl was very well cared for. I highly recommend Imane and will be using her services again soon!

We had a really good experience with Imane.
She is reassuring, patient and welcoming. It's obvious how much she likes children and that she has experience working with them.
My son bonded with her quickly and would go to her smiling. We would highly recommend her.

The children were looked after only twice a week for a short period of time. However, Imane seems to bond with them quite quickly. I appreciate her flexibility in accommodating my work schedule. My husband and I are both satisfied with her service.

Slow in reply, arrived 50 minutes late at the nursery, asked for 30GBP for 30 minutes "work" collecting the twins from the morning nursery and dropping them at the afternoon nursery. I spent a lot of time on the phone with the nurseries as I didn't even get an update from her and could have done this myself. Didn't get back to me at all. A bit weird.

Visiting Edinburgh for only a couple of days and so thankful we found Imane!
Haven't been out dinner without my partner since giving birth and super anxious leaving our 5month old baby but Imane made us feel so confident leaving our son with her for a couple hours. She kept us updated and sent reminders. Definitely recommend her.
Thanks a lot Imane and looking forward to visiting again!

My husband and I wanted to attend the postgraduate Open Day at the University of Edinburgh. After realizing we’d be in talks all day long, we decided to find a childminder so we could actually attend the talks without our toddler twins throwing wobblies all day. Imane was amazing, very patient with us as we navigated the city, and the boys really enjoyed their time with her. They’re still happy and giggling away right now, and my husband and I got to enjoy our day as well. Should we return to Edinburgh, we won’t hesitate to contact her. I highly recommend Imane.

We can definitely recommend Imane, she helped us out at the very last minute during a work trip. My wife and I were in Edinburgh for work in April 2018, and needed a childminder to take care of our twins aged 20 months for a full day. As usual, we waited until the very last minute to sort out a childminder. But luckily Imane offered to care for them with only two days notice. Communication with Imane was excellent, she was friendly, fast and to the point. When we arrived with the twins, Imane was very calm and it was clear she would be able to make our two screaming kids happy very quickly even though they had never met her. Sure enough, after the inevitable drama when saying goodbye, they had their milk and calmed down, and played with Imane all day.

Imane is a lovely warm person and my son was happy with her and settled very quickly. He was a VERY clingy and had never really been left with anyone else so I was surprised at how well he settled. Imane is flexible, friendly and helpful and lovely with the children, she has a cosy, clean and happy home. I highly recommend her services.

Imane has been taking care of our 6 years old son for two years and I can say she is very kind, warm person and at the same time very professional. My son loves her, he feels safe at her home and I know I can trust Imane totally with care of my son. She is very reliable person and I would strongly recommend her service to everyone.

Imane has been looking after our two year old for over six months now. We were a bit worried how she would be as she was so used to a nursery setting, but we can honestly say that Madeleine settled in straight away and always has a great time. Imane always makes sure our daughter has her meals at regular times, naps through the day if she needs it and has activities planned so she is always occupied. When we drop her off she happily waves us goodbye and when we pick her up she is always full of energy and very happy. Imane does an outstanding job looking after our daughter and has made our life so much easier, we both work weekends and my husband works late evenings so it's a relief to know we can schedule childcare with someone so reliable and accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone with children of any age!

I needed someone to look after my daughter on the 1st of January as unexpectedly I had to go to work. Imane agreed to stay with my 3-year-old on a short notice. When we arrived at her place to meet, my daughter literally didn't want to leave. Imane has a very warm personality, big smile and good experience with childcare. Also, she has a really nice daughter that was a great company for mine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, nor to ask her for help in the future.

My experience started over 2 years ago. I was quite nervous to find another childminder for my son, starting nursery at the age 3 as he had another childminder from a baby up till 3 years. finding someone close and would work around nursery times and someone that I could trust I thought would be tough but this wasn't the case. I met with imane and we easily got on and new she would be perfect for my son. It's a lovely cozy home, many things to keep kids entertained and a very calming atmosphere. Imane her self seemed like a very caring friendly and honest person and being her mother herself shared the same values as I do. Over the two years imane has been truly amazing, rhys my son grew a great bond with imane and her daughter. He went many places like to the beach, different parks, the library, soft play he was always entertained and was so happy to talk about his adventures when he came home, if rhys was happy that made me happy ?. At imanes home imane and rhys would make crafts, draw paintings and take part in educational activities ( I would love the things rhys would come home with ?) still keep them in a box. Rhys has come a long way over the 2 years, now started school and that's with the help of imane. A big Thankyou, and we miss you ? and I recommend her to any of you looking for a similar person like I did as she will never let you down.

On our first visit to IMANE house we instantly felt very welcomed and comfortable & my husband & I knew instantly that this was the place for our daughter.
I have been extremely happy with the service IMANE provides. Her home is always welcoming, very clean and well organised.she is warm and friendly, she provides a wide range of fun activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. All the children enjoy game play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles to name but a few; as well as daily outings to the park and playtime in the woods. NACIRI encourages good behaviour,and ensures good personal hygiene for all children to wash hands after visiting the toilet.
She is exceptional because she manages to combine a warm and nurturing environment with exciting and stimulating activities on a daily basis where my daughter ELISIE feels really confident and loved.
I cannot imagine anyone else looking after my daughter ELISE
I would highly recommend NACIRI to anyone who wants a loving, caring, experienced, stimulating and 'home from home' environment for their child. We hope that they will always be a part of our lives.

I was up performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the last two nights I was stuck for a minder for my 9 month old son. I'd had my son looked after by a friend up until then, and she was no longer available. I panicked a bit because I've only ever left my son with close family and a couple of lovely friends who I knew would not neglect him. I had no option but to look online last minute and see who might take him for a few hours each night. I came across Imane who had lots of good reviews, which I thought was the best way of judging her child skills. After a chat we set up a meeting place and within moments I knew he was in safe hands. Imane introduced me to her very sweet little daughter and I went away to my show feeling nervous of course but trusting. When I collected him from Imane's home he was soundly sleeping and it was lovely and quiet at her place. Everything felt very calm and gentle. I felt so happy when I took my son back to our hotel and he woke up very content. No sobbing or anything. The next day we did the same time and meeting and this time I had no worries. Imane was so lovely. I knew my son was gowing to be taken care of, fed and changed. I would definitely use her again when I'm next up. Thank you very much Imane. Look forward to the next time!

She is completely amazing, recently started looking after my son during the summer and I was anxious at first as my son can be quite shy and quiet, and a little difficult with other carers and he straight away warmed to her and made himself at home. The atmosphere is fantastic and she has a lovely home. My son is so happy when I pick him up and will tell me all about it on the way home. Even though I'm working, I am confident my son will be having a fantastic time with Nassiri. Would completely recommend her!!

I usually use a local community nursery but there are days when the nursery isn't open and I have to work. Nassiri helped out with looking after my daughter for two full days recently and was absolutely brilliant. I was expecting my daughter to be really anxious given the change from her normal environment but she seemed to love it and I have to say, if we lived closer, we'd consider asking Nassiri if she'd take on more of the childcare and reduce nursery hours. Can't rate more highly.

Oh where do I start? I couldn't wait to write a review!
She looked after my children yesterday (10 month old baby boy and 3.5 year old daughter) as I had to do some paperwork in Edinburgh and I am from Aberdeen. I dropped the kids at her place and when she opened the door, you can tell right away the positive vibe she has as a person. Lovely smile, great personality and such a welcoming person. Her home has a positive atmosphere so I was certain that my kids are in good hands. I was concerned at first as this was the first time I left my kids with someone I didn't know before and somewhere I am not aware of (apart from nursery).... But I am glad I did so! And I am glad I found her through this website (first time using this service).
When I picked up my kids, my daughter Sarah didn't want to come home. She connect with Imane as if she knew her for a while. Sarah even cried on the way home that she didn't want to say goodbye to Imane hoping she will see her again. Adam, my 10 month old baby, was happy as well. He seems to enjoy being with Imane as we lifted him up, he started refusing and asking to put him down and leave him playing Wow! I just left them for 5 hours and the kids seem to enjoy every second.
The only thing I regret is that I live in Aberdeen and Imane lives in Edinburgh ?... If we live in the same city, would definitely visit her more often. Sent her a personal text just telling her how happy mum I am ?
Thanks again Imane! Will definitely keep in touch. Someone already misses her (Sarah hahaha)....

This is the very first time that I needed someone to take care of my little one (11 months old), so I was a little nervous at first. But after my first meeting with Imane, I couldn't have been more relieved. I was sure I was leaving my child in good hands, and the day after this was confirmed. Brian was very happy and very well taken care of.
Imane is very friendly and very confident with children, you can see when people have the gift of working with children and she definitely does!
I don't know if I will be needing her services again, but if I do, I'm 100% sure I'll go to her for help again and would hardly recommend her to anyone.
Thank you very much for everything and (hopefully) see you soon!

Imane has been child minding my son (29 months old) for about few weeks.
She looked after him for 10 hours a day all week which has been a very tough job for a completely new comer who is fully attached to his mother.
I have been extremely happy with the care my lil one has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in her care. Imane’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and LO has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though especially when we left him in care for the first few days ,LO was crying a lot and she managed to divert him from crying in less time (even though there is language barrier) which was a big relief for me and I was able to be with peace of mind at work.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including outdoor visits. Although I provide LO's food each day I know that she will provide healthy snacks such as fruit and rice cakes if he is exceptionally hungry or keen to eat what the older children are eating.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care LO has received and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Imane as a great and reliable childminder.
Many Thanks

i have recently left imane's childcare services for no other reason than needing a child minder closer to our new location.
i left my son with imane at 10 months old, imane was fantastic at making me feeling at ease going back to uni after maternity leave.
he grew to feel comfortable there and had a really good experience there.
imane is flexible and always worked to my needs, her communication and quick responses are fantastic.
should we ever need her in the future or for a emergency i know she would always be there to assist.
i highly recommended her services for any age of child.
we wish you all the best imane

Me and my wife recently visited Edinburgh and we both were graduating in a ceremony. Imane Nassiri provided excellent child care service for one day and we were very satisfied. Our 1.5 years old daughter never attended a childcare service before but we were delighted to see that she was very happy.
Thanks, Imane.

I had to find a childminder as a matter of urgency, and Imane responded my query really quickly offering her assistance. My DD is just one year old and not very much used to stay with anyone, but Imane made her feel comfortable and they became friends quickly. I was confident leaving my daughter in Imane's care, knowing she would be looked after well. I would highly recommend this childminder and hope to continue using Imane's help in the future.

Due to a change in circumstance we no longer require child minding services but I would Highly recommend the services provided by Miss Nassiri.
Our daughter had a wonderful time and was very well looked after which gives peace of mind when at work.
We would like to thank you so much for your caring nature and flexibility.
We just hope you still have a spare place for our girl when the time comes again.
Hope to see you again in the future.
Hope you both have a lovely summer.

My 7 years old daughter loves going to Nassiri childminder.
I feel safe leaving my daughter under her care, she provides high standard child care services.
She is reliable and also very flexible with dates and times and this has greatly helped me as my husband is away quite a lot and need to adjust my work patterns every now and again to fit around things.
My daughter has been going to her for the last 1 year or so and we are very pleased with Nassiri childminder, which is filled with love and great care.

My nine month old has absolutely loved going to Imane's over the last few months.
I felt as at ease leaving him with her as I do with family, which was amazing as it can be a challenging transition from full time mother to work. She was really flexible with times and dates and this alleviated stress for me as my work can be unpredictable at times. He had obviously really enjoyed himself and was happy as can be at drop off and pick up.
I'm so sad to leave her friendly care, and am only doing so because of a job location move to the complete opposite side of the city.
I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking child care with a really personal touch in a stimulating, safe and homely environment.
