it has been a wonderful journey. From the moment we walked into your home, we just new that it will be perfect for our son. From the kind voice, the smile we received and the warmth of the house, what a welcoming environment!
We cannot thank you enough Aayla and your lovely ladies for everything that you have done for us. You have been a home away from home and we will certainly miss that. Working within our time schedule was just a cherry on top. If it wasn't for our relocation we would certainly still be part of the Little Ones family.
We commend anyone looking for a childminder to go for Aayla, you wont regret it.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You were new to the UK and to Bradford and we are so happy that we could be a part of your transition and welcome you. We hope you and your son are happy in your new home, work and nursery, best of luck x
Deciding on a minder for my daughter was a scary task as we just relocated and I had some concerns. But finding Little Ones and Aalya has been an absolute blessing. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, and is always willing to help out. There are so many playtime options for the children and the environment is absolutely wonderful. The ladies are all so welcoming and friendly. You are also updated on how your child is doing through the day. My baby has settled in so well. She is much more outspoken and interacts better since she started attending. She even eats better now. Thank you for all you do Aalya, I would definitely recommend.

My son started here. What an amazing welcoming childminders for him to go to. First let me start with the girls who work here are amazing with all the kids and hands on. Aalya your business is the bomb and have everything for each child. My son was happy and cared for to the max like he would be at home! Your set up is fantastic and safe for all children any age. The garden is so big and loads for them to do. So many activities in the nursery. Perfect room for them to sleep in and safe and secure. Very clean environment also home made food for little ones on the day! Communication is spot on with mums and dads throughout the day very reassuring 😘 thank you so much for doing what you have done for me means a lot to me xxxx

Thank you for such a comprehensive review. Me and the team care for the children as if they were our own and it is lovely that you have so much appreciation. It’s a pleasure to care for your child x
My little was around 8 months old when he joined this lovely setting. He settled in instantly, owing to the extremely friendly and caring staff.
They made fresh meals for him and would occasionally send some along.
Thankyou for being a vital part of my little ones world ❤️

Thank you for your kind words, it’s a pleasure to look after your little one!
My children started going here a couple of months ago. I was utterly amazed how quickly they settled.
There are always so many varied activities. Which really helps engage the children and keep them interested. The staff interact so calmly with the children, in fact it’s a lovely calm environment. Aalya is very insightful on nurturing children and allowing each child to thrive no matter their personality or age. Play lead learning is so evident in the activities and my children run straight into the house and don’t look back!
I love getting regular updates throughout the day which keeps me updated on what they have done, and helps me engage in conversations with them when I collect them about their day. They also loving seeing these photos and explaining to me what they were doing.
Aalya couldn’t the more helpful, always going above and beyond to help me , to offer suggestions and is so flexible which has been such an amazing blessing and help to us as a family.
My children are so happy and I believe when children are happy it helps the family so much a whole. I’m really grateful for the care of the whole team and the environment they have cultivated and the impact it’s having not just on my children but on us as a family.

Thank you so much for you lovely kind words. Your twins are amazing and we love having them. They are such interesting little people and their conversations blow me away! It is wonderful to know that we are able to support you guys as a family and if ever there is anything we can do to help you, we will x
We joined Little Ones after having moved to the area. Our daughter had already been with a nursery she liked, so we thought it was going to be a tough call to find somewhere she would like as much. We were wrong! As soon as we visited Little Ones for the first time and met Aalya, our daughter didn't want to leave, and kept asking when she could next go back! Since then, she has settled in brilliantly, and absolutely loves her days there! The setting is clean, fun and inviting, with excellent educational resources, fantastic healthy meals, and a huge scope for fun activities. Aalya and the team structure their days brilliantly - we have really noticed our daughter benefitting from such a calm environment, and we are given lovely regular updates. Additionally, there is a strong enthusiasm for fun learning, and Aalya's experience in primary education had been invaluable to us - we feel that our daughter is receiving excellent preparation for school. We couldn't be happier with Little Ones, and most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves it there, thank you!

Thank you so much for your lovely words. Your daughter is a bright little spark and it is exciting watching her blossom with us x
Aalya is amazing, she agreed to help when I needed it most. Due to the distance of my training venue, I needed to leave home very early in the morning, she agreed to come and look after the children while they sleep to avoid waking them and disrupting their sleep. I don't know what I would have done without this amazing person. I would rate her more than 100% for the service she provides.

Ahhhh, you are too kind Todo. Your children are amazing little people and we love having them around. We really pray you are successful in your placement and your studies.
My child started at little ones last year and I can’t rate them highly enough. My daughter loves it here! There is a lovely family vibe and they really care about the children. The setting is perfect for all ages and my daughter always tells me the fun things she’s been up to. She has made a lot of friends and really likes all the team. This is my first experience with a childminder and I just can’t complain about a thing!

Bless you, thank you for your kind words. We feel really happy that we could be there in your time of need and your children are an asset to you, so polite and caring x
Amazing, my children love it there. When they stay overnight and I feel very comfortable and reassured that they are in the best of care when I have to be away from them for work. Very caring family setting that is set up with fun activities & learning aids, home away from home for my children. Thank you :)
