Shaheda looked after my daughter Connie from shortly before her first birthday until the end of Primary School, almost 10 years! During that time Shaheda became like an extension of our family. I saw her boys grow to be fantastic young men and Connie learned how to help look after the little ones.

All the children Shaheda minds are extremely well behaved and they absolutely love her. "Sheda" is among their first words. Shaheda is always pleased to see the children in her care arrive which makes it easy for the parent to leave!

Shaheda has so much experience and is very professional, flexible and responsive. She will tell you what the child has been doing and has a great routine of taking them out to groups, nap time, reading time, etc. She also takes a leadership role in the community, setting up groups and advising newer childminders.

Shaheda also cooks delicious food and always has healthy snacks to keep the children going.

I can't recommend Shaheda highly enough to any parent. We miss her terribly since leaving London but Connie now has her own mobile and can keep in touch with Shaheda, swapping texts!
