My daughter and I are both in love with the place. Cant thank the yaqadoodles staff any more my daughter is growing into herself fantastically since starting this nursery.

Aysia and her team are excellent, my little boy started attending at just 5 months old , being apprehensive about leaving him at a nursery at such a young age I'd visited quite a few others and was hesitant about returning back to work, that was until I met Aysia and Hayley I instantly knew that he would be settled with them , well cared for and safe, hes now been attending for over a year and thoroughly enjoys going :) so thank you so much :)

My daughters 3 years and 1 year old have been with them since April. The team is amazing with great focus into each child's need and behaviour to help them learn and develop. They organise lots of activities and games for the kids that help develop their skills and interact with others. The team is friendly and take good care of the kids. The team has very good cleanliness and hygiene standards to keep the kids and staff safe. My kids love going there and are very excited when they reach there everytime.

My daughter who is just coming up to 9 months has just started at this Nursery, I can not recommend this place enough, I lay awake for countless nights very emotional with where to send our daughter when I had to return to work. The first day walking round and being showed the place I felt very at easy! They are such a loving and kind staff team, very attentive to Ellas needs and sends me pictures when I ask for them, they are very mindful of parents and them being worried. Like I said I can’t recommend this place enough even through this terrible virus they do temperature checks on staff children. Small setting so each child doesn’t get lost in the crowd which is a massive thing for myself. 100% recommend!!!

We moved our two children to Yaqadoodle one month ago and it has proven to be a fantastic decision. Thanks to all the activities the children do, our three year old boy is thriving and we literally have to drag him out sometimes. Our baby daughter gets all the close attention she needs in a stimulating environment, and every single one of the staff are friendly, approachable and professional. 100% recommend.

My daughter has been at Yaqadoodle since September 2019, moving her from a large private nursery in Urmston when my son started school, and when they moved to the new premises, it took her a while to settle in but now loves it and struts in happily every day.
Asiya and the whole team and very warm and welcoming, and can manage her strong personality.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
I started sending my little boy (5 year old) to Asiya in September 2018 for after school care on Mondays and Fridays and was a bit apprehensive as he was struggling with a lot of change he had gone through in recent times (new house, new school, new baby brother). Asiya’s husband Mo picks him up from Brookburn Primary School and Austin has now started to call these days “Mo days!” Asiya has been great, she has a very caring and warm personality. Austin was coming away from her house and telling me things like “I love going to Asiya and Mo’s house!” Asiya has always listened to anything I have told her, such as problems with toileting and has made her best efforts to help him with this.
Thank you for doing such a great job!!

Thank you so much
We are travelling through the UK and my husband and I had booked Man Utd tickets. I was advised to log onto childcare.co.uk to find a registered babysitter. Asiya contacted me through the website and made me feel at ease. She was very accommodating and the kids felt at home straight away! She went through all the essential forms as well, so was very professional. She also sent me updates and photos of how the kids were spending their day. I would highly recommend leaving your kids with her and would not hesitate to leave mine with her again.

Thank you so much
I started sending my twins to Yaqadoodle in March 2018 when I joined work after an year long maternity leaves. I am one of those very particular mums who hardly rely on anyone when it comes to my kids and sending them over was really an overwhelming experience for me. I visited literally every childminder I came across on childcare.co & luckily I came across Asya. Since the beginning I found both Asya & Mutahir as highly competent in their jobs. They looked after my babies exceptionally well. Asya is one of those who are passionate about their work. Looking after two hyper active kids who had never stayed with anyone except their mother is not an easy job. Also I wanted someone who could update me regularly with what my kids are doing. Asya never mind even if I call her everyday & keeps posting us their photos & videos every other day. Her house environment is super friendly & her kids treat our kids as their own siblings. Would highly recommend anyone looking for an enthusiastic and committed childminder

Asiya & Mo
Asiya came to a weekend event I was organising to provide childcare in the creche. She was absolutely brilliant, very reliable and took responsibility for the paperwork which was great! She established a rapport very quickly with all the children and fostered a very happy atmosphere in there amongst children who had never met before, which was lovely to see, one of the children in the creche was my own and I was delighted with the care Asiya provided. I couldn't have asked for better for the event and it was very reassuring knowing the children were being so well looked after through the event. I thoroughly recommend her.

Thank you so much it was a pleasure
My little boy has been with Asiya and Mo for just over a year now, and i can not fault them, or the service they offer.
I was very wary after a bad experience with a previous childminder, but Asiya and Mo treat Jack just like a member of their family, he settled in straight away and looks forward to the days Mo collects him from school.
They are 100% reliable and do an amazing job, I know my boy is happy, safe and well cared for during his time with them.

Asiya and mo are a great team who work so lovingly with children. I find the childrens play area and food area exceptionally clean. Their flexiability to help meet my work demands is exceptionally great they always go extra mile to help me out. They will keep me updated whenever i ask for it. They have really help me through the week without them I would be lost. Additionally i find that my daughter is part of their family rather than another child at the nursery. My daughter has come along way in her learning and is developing new skills all the time. My daughter is happy as she arrives and in evenings i find her really happy energetic and its due to the lovely time she has throughout the day .

Due to my old Childminder’s retiring, and after knowing them for 9yrs as they looked after my eldest son from been 2 till age 12...didn’t think I would find anyone else.... But on The 7th September 2017 was the first day my now 15mth old son started with Asiya & Mo.. and I am so pleased he did!! They are so loving and caring, and extremely passionate about all the children they look after, they both treat the children like they would their own.
They are both very approachable, I know when I drop my son off he is in safe hands. So if anyone is looking for 5* childcare , Asiya & Mo are the best you can ask for.. xxx

Asiya has to be the best child minder that we have ever used. She is excellent with the children and its clear that they all have a great time in her care. My son loves going to her house and is well fed and well entertained. He is never left to his own devices and he tells me that there is always something interesting to do. He's beginning to enjoy it at her house more than ours!!
For parents Asiyah is flexible in her service, easy to talk to and has given me the peace of mind to go to work without worrying about my son for any reason.
Its a family business and this really runs through everything that is provided. Home cooked food, good moral values and an all inclusive atmosphere. I really couldn't recommend anyone more than her and her kind and considerate family and I would recommend that anyone needing her services should give her a bell and see for yourself.
One happy parent!!!!!!!!!!!

Asiya has been looking after my 2 girls for a year. The care she gives them is fantastic, the fact they dont want to leave says a lot to me.
Asiya is very accommodating, approachable and makes you feel at ease.
I was very wary leaving my children like most parents are but i can hand on heart say it feels like im leaving them with family.
I can definitely recommend Asiya and Mo for anyone who is looking for childcare.

Asiya and her partner Mo have looked after both of my children for almost a year now. I would recommend their service to any parent seeking high quality care for their children, as i have contacted and used other providers that have failed to match their standards.
Asiya and Mo have become an important part of our families lives. They treat our children as if they were there own, which brings us great reassurance and comfort. I wish Yaqadoodle much success for the years to come :)

Asiya has been looking after our son 3 days per week for over 5 months now and has been doing a brilliant job!
After a bad experience trying to settle him into a nursery, we moved our son to Asiya for more of a homely environment, allowing an easier transition from being at home with mum. Asiya has done a wonderful job at settling our son and he was immediately far happy under her care than at the nursery. In our opinion it has been a much better transition for him and it most importantly allows him to sleep properly in the day and gain more one-to-one care than a nursery environment.
Our son is now part of their family for three days of the week and gets to go on various trips out which he thoroughly enjoys. The care is flexible, so we can request extra days if needed and pick/up drop off when required.
The whole settling in, every day care and communication process has been perfect and stress free, which is what we need for our busy lives; and most importantly our son is very happy.

It is a pleasure to look after your child
Thank you
well my first and only child has been with Asiya since the age of 5 months. I can honestly say she is fantastic I could not have found anyone more suited to my needs. My daughter had severe eczema when she first started and i was worried that her skincare routine would not be tended too during the day. However, Asiya, has worked with me to stick to her skincare routine and make my child feel at ease during the day.She goes above and beyond for the children she cares for and I am 100% satisfied with the service and level of care she provides. my daughter who is now 11 months goes Monday to Friday and absolutely loves it. Asiya provides a drop off and pick up service which is very handy. she is punctual, very reliable and has a good level of communication as to what activities take place in the day. I am confident my child gets the level of care and attention you would expect from any childcare provider. if you are looking for a home away from home with the appropriate level of stimulation and activities for your child then it would be a privilege to yourself and your child to have Asiya as your childminder!!

Keep in touch
My 2 boys, aged 2.5 and 1.5 were recently looked after by Aasiya and her husband. They were very accomodating and supportive and take each parents individual circumstances into consideration. The house is amazing with all sorts of fun toys and activities for the children. Health and hygeine needs are taken care of and due to their experience and skills they offer brilliant advice. My boys adjusted on the first day and were very happy. I will most definitely be calling them as my first point of contact in the future so i would advise you too as well.

Thank you
I was thrilled with the service that Asiya and Mo gave me. They stepped into the breach when I was left with no childcare for my youngest son, aged 11, whilst he was waiting for a school place after having moved to Manchester in the summer. They did their utmost to make him feel welcomed and happy - and fill his time with painting and reading and making sure that his needs were met whilst dealing with a number of very little ones.
They were very thorough with the registration process and understood what mattered to me and to my son. I've been very lucky to have great childminders and nannies before we moved and I feel very pleased that the luck has continued with Mo and Asiya; I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

My son and I have been blessed with finding Asiya and Mo to care for my son in the mornings and holiday times, after struggling to find anyone that we felt were the right childcare for us.
After only a few week's there my son has settled in just wonderful, even hating the weekend's because he won't get to see the other children and Asiya and Mo for two days :).
They are friendly, trustworthy and professional and I am happy with the home from home service they offer as it puts my mind at rest that my son feels welcome in their house.
My intention was not to leave him during the holiday's as I only work term time but as my son asked if he could spend the day with them, we have now arranged two day's a week for the holiday times.
Overall, I cant recommend Asiya and Mo enough. We are happy to have found such nice people.

We have been leaving our son for childcare with Asiya and her team since Sept 2015 and we have to admit they are very professional, honest, reliable and efficient in what they do. Our son instantly had a good rapport with them in the first meeting and since then we have never looked back. They care and treat for children like it is their own and we feel that our son is in very safe hands. They pick him up from nursery aswell. We are delighted with the service we are receiving and we would highly recommend them to any parents/parent who intend to use childcare services. Thank you very much Asiya :-)

Asiya & Mo
I recently registered with Asiya, from the very first day I felt confident I made the right choice. She is very professional and has a wealth of experience. I have never come across a childcare provider with so many but the right qualifications. This reassured me a lot.
When my son visited he immediately blended in as if he had been there before and when we got home and I asked him if he would like to go back, he jumped with joy and said yes.
Since he started I have not heard him complain, neither have the teachers complained about picking him from school.
I think he will be her for a foreseeable future
Thanks Asiya and Mo, keep up the brilliant job

Thank you for your kind words
I have had my little one attend Yaqadoodle since April till present and I am very pleased that she is settled perfectly and is all smiles going and back. Asiya has been of great support from the beginning when she helped at a time of need with little prior notice and her positive approach to children made my little one feel at home with her immediately. It's not all play at Yaqadoodle because they get to go to the library, have educational sessions in the morning and she got a certificate for her good work and conduct. Asiya is flexible, understanding and she gives great advice too, I am glad I have met her and her family because they have been so welcoming and supportive. Regardless of our difference in culture and belief she has never once been biased....always professional. I must admit I do get jealous when I see them together because she is really good with my little one, treats her like her own.
