Azaadi is the Best Childminder I have worked with for my child. My son was very young only 1 year old and she treated her soo well and dearly that he got attached to her so well. He would love to play with her. He would love to go there each morning. She is the Best cook , best friend, best host and most of all I loved her smiling and friendly nature and she treats all her children with soo much love and care that children never feel they are not at their home . I would recommend her 100 times more to anyone who wants motherly care for their child .

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. By using the term “motherly care”, I think you’ve summarised everything.
I wish your son all the best ❤️❤️
It took me 2 weeks trying to write the feedback as the care provided by Azadi was so amazing that Im still short of words.My daughter had been very well looked after by Azadi. I found azadi very flexible as I have a very busy schedule myself working long shifts in NHS. My lil one was a bit upset with school and was reluctant to go to a child minder initially, however she immediately adjusted on day 1 at Azadi's place. She developed a bond that was like a family.
She is turned into a fine young lady , learned good eating manners, started to enjoy the things she loved and started to enjoy life more. I would always be thankful to Azadi for helping her out. Azadi took her to different activities, places, and stayed in touch that kept me more closer to Eliza while I was at work.Azadi was so flexible and helpful with the arrangements that made everything easier for me.
Azadi has lovely daughters who played with Eliza like sisters. She went to great activities and places with them.
Eliza went there throughout August in school holiday and still misses them.
The warmth, the love and the care she got from Azadi's home was more like her own family.
I would recommend Azadi to anyone.
I would prefer her care over any other provider.
I would like to thank Azadi enormously for the love and care you have given our daughter over these year's (age 1 - 3).
My daughter been looked after by Azadi as an extended family member.Celebrated every birthday as a family member. My daughter loved her so much and looked forward meeting her each day with much enthusiasm.Azadi took her to places like play area, playgroups, parks, shops etc. Initial days before settling in were difficult but Azadi handled so well those difficult days with much patience and made developments slowly.
Sometimes I forget myself that she is my daugters childminder but felt like a relative or friend who enjoys company of my daughter.She is a person who listens to my daughters little things and appreciate her to move forward.
Azadi is flexible with timings depending on our situations.
My daughter is starting nursery at school soon and she is going to miss Azadi a lot. My daughter might ask me to take her to Azadi instead of school :-).
I'm so lucky to have Azadi.
I have no hesitation in recommending Azadi to anyone that asks.

Thank you so much for such kind words and appreciation. It means a lot to me and my setting. I also wish I can keep your daughter longer but things has to move on. I wish her success in the new chapter of her life.
My daughter has never been exposed to a childminder nor a nursery like environment before except activities in my presence. Azadi has done very well in making her comfortable and happy, I am very satisfied with her. She is very reliable and trustworthy truly a life saver and I’m extremely thankful to her for her hard work. She has really looked after my daughter well.

Thank you so much for the lovely reviews. Really appreciate that 🥰
My 3 year old little boy has never had any childcare experience, so I was extremely picky of who I would entrust his wellbeing with. My most important criteria were that he would be safe and happy. Aunty Azadi exceeded my requirement by miles. She is kind, patient, generally has good vibes. Not only can I feel that the apple of my eye is safe, but Azadi provides him with a home from home environment. He can't wait to go to Aunty Azadi, he runs in when he get there, he talks about her at home and entwines his songs with her name. I get regular updates, photos, and videos about all the fun, educational activities they engage in and he always learns something new. I keep asking if he likes to be with Aunty Azadi, and he breaks out in a huge,happy grin just by the thought of her. He also made friends with Azadi's wonderful children and it's so nice to see them play together. Her house is neat, she has a safe garden for the kids, but they also go to the park whenever the weather allows. What is most annoying is that he tends to be better-behaved at Aunty Azadi's than at home. 😄 Oh, she also updates on what they have done, how much he ate and what he liked (I prep him food, as he is dairy allergic-I wish he could eat her food, I'm sure it's yummy) I could go on and on, but to sum it up: she is just fantastic!
