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.

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 š 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. Itās 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 ā¤ļø

Thank you for your kind words, itās 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 itās 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 donāt 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 couldnāt 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. Iām really grateful for the care of the whole team and the environment they have cultivated and the impact itās 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 canāt 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 sheās 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 canāt complain about a thing!

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 :)

My little girl has been with Aalaya for a few months now, and I'm so grateful to her and her family. She offers a very homely environment and my little girl has thrived been with Aalya. She is always happy to go and Aalya is always so helpful and supportive to me and my my girl. Thank you so much, for everything.

We joined over a month ago. My daughter has settled in very easily. I am so grateful for the love and support you have shown me and my family.
I can rely on Alyah to collect my child on time in the mornings. She is very organised and punctual.
I feel constantly feel reassured she is being taken care. I can see photos and videos of her eating well and enjoying her playtime.
My daughter has shown significant improvements in her speech and showing very positive signs of her social development. Sheās gone from a very shy baby to a very confident toddler and thatās all down to your positive encouragement.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

It is an absolute pleasure to look after your little girl, she is full of personality and sings all the time. She certainly has made lots of progress since she started and is now understanding a lot more. Thank you for your kind words x
Aayla was fantastic, supported my two children under very short notice. They really enjoyed playing outside after school. Aayla was very accommodating, little ones setup is fun and educational for children.

Outstanding in everything she does! I have tried a few nursery settings for my daughter and she just wouldnāt settle but Ayla has made anything possible for her she has been comfortable from day one and loved every minute since she has been there! I would definitely recommend

An outstanding childminder, she is very kind and has very good skills required for childcare. I was worried about my daughter needing more time to settle but since day one she was very happy and always excited to go to her childminder. 100% recommending

Thank you so much Noor for your kind words. Your daughter is very happy and relaxed at the setting and we love having her x
I'm so glad we found Little oneās when we were looking for childcare for our Son (age 2). Aalya is caring, friendly and has made sure our son is happy and settled every time weāve dropped him off. Our son loves it when he has a 'School day'. Aalya provides a large variety of activities, walks and outings. She has a lovely outside space too for children to use. Aalya has provided exceptional service for my son. If anyone is a First time mum like me and is worried about leaving her child then rest assured Aalya will provide the best of care for your child. I would highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We love having your son at the setting, he is full of life and gets straight into playing as soon as he arrives. He loves exploring and appreciates all the resources we have on offer!
My daughter has been attending Little Ones ever since she was a little baby. When I first came to visit I was really nervous and scared as it was my first child. But after meeting Aalya and speaking to her, it made me feel such so much better. The childcare setting has a warm, homely and welcoming atmosphere. Aalya was so loving towards my daughter and I knew this was the right place for her. She is very maternal and as a mother that is so important for me. She settled in very easily and I liked the fact that Aalya was really flexible with it. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds. Everyday there are different activities set up for her to engage in. She loves books and climbing and I love how Aalya incorporates that into day to day activities. She comes home saying new words all the time. She absolutely loves going to nursery. As soon as I pass her over she runs off inside and starts saying āhiiiāto all the other children. The level of quality this childcare setting provides is absolutely amazing. Thank you for being such a wonderful childminder and also a great friend.

Thank you Maija, Elizabeth loves coming to the setting and using all the new puzzles and flash cards that I have got for her. It is amazing that she is doing 100 piece puzzles now with such amazing dedication and concentration, she is definitely a mathematician in the making!
My son has been attending little ones for almost 2 years now. He loves going every day and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up. He was a very sensitive boy and now hes so confident and independent its amazing how much he has developed. Alaya was very welcoming, friendly and even went out of her way to help and support me. Alaya is like family now.

Wow it has been a long and amazing time. Your son was a little 5 month old baby when he started and look at him now, confident in all situations. This is why I am very passionate about taking the children out a lot so they can experience as many things as possible! Thank you for your kind words x
A committed, caring and thoroughly professional childminder. There's a real family atmosphere about the house - in a very positive sense.My son , for example, really enjoyed the opportunity to play with much younger children, while enjoying the security that their own (rather older) needs were being met.and also Iām happy because his language improved very well and learning a good behaviour as well thank you Alia for looking after my son very well highly recommended

Response by Little Ones on 15/03/2020:
You are very welcome Angelica. Thank you so much for your kind words. Your son came with no English at all and now a year and a half later he is so confidently spoken when he is playing with his friends, it makes me very proud of him.
My daughter has been attending ā Little Onesā since September 2019 and she absolutely loves going. There are a range of activities planned and booked in advance and this makes it all the more fun and exciting. At the same time my daughter gets to experience going to different environments and exploring the surroundings.

Thank you Sidra for your kind words. Aiman hasnāt been with us that long yet but she feels a part of the family. We look forward to seeing her beaming smile on the days that she attends x
My son started attending in January 2019 from the age of 2. I was very worried about how he would settle in but my son settled in immediately on day 1.. Aaliyah has an amazing attitude towards the kids which makes them excited about attending everyday.. fantastic childcare. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind words Naila, Muhammad Deen brings so much personality with him and we love listening to all his exciting stories about godzilla and the super heroes!
I have been with Aalya for more than a year now and I have had a very good experience with her. She is very warm and loving. My boys love going to their 'Aunty' and she looks after me as well. Her setting is always neat and tidy there fore hygiene is not a concern. If you need someone to trust with your children, Aalya Rehman comes highly recommended from me, and trust me, I can be fussy. But with Aalya, I don't have any need or reason to.

Aalya is professional and provides the highest standards of care, amazingly flexible, open and very honest. I am really pleased to say that we were lucky to find her.

I definitely can recommend Little Ones.
