Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
The setting with Nargis and the team is second to none. I really feel as if the care that my daughter receives is exactly as I’d hope to have with an extended family. The love and care that everyone in the setting shows the children is just priceless. She comes home chatting about all of the games and dancing she’s been doing and just full of beans. She has also been developing really well since being with Nargis and is on track to meet all of her milestones.
These years are so precious and I am so glad that I made the decision to ask Nargis and the team to look after my daughter as opposed to sending her to nursery, best decision I ever made. I just wish they looked after them up until 18!
Thank you to Nargis the whole team for everything they have done for my daughter.

Nargis and her colleague are very helpful and great with my child. Their facility is wonderful. As being single parent it was extremely difficult to find the right care for my daughter that I could trust but from the day one Nargis made me feel comfortable and I have peace of mind that my daughter is in great hands when she is with her.

We cannot recommend Nargis highly enough! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our child in her care. She creates a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel safe and happy.
Nargis is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about the well-being and development of every child she looks after. My daughter has been a very fussy. Water. nargis put my mind/heart at ease and now my daughter is eating much better than before. As an experienced mother herself, Nargis took my hand and helps me every step and shows immense patience. She also keeps us updated on a regular basis which is such a thoughtful touch for parents esp as a first time mother, where I am constantly anxious .
We’ve seen so much growth in our child’s confidence and social skills since starting with her. If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy, and professional childminder, Nargis is truly the best!

Nargis and her husband Zahid have been looking after my two year old son since last month. They drop and pick him up on the said timings and are very efficient in what they do. My son has no problems walking into their premises or getting into the car with them .
Definitely would recommend to others .

We've been using Nagis for our 2 year old for nearly a year, and Nagid and Zahid have been amazing doing pick up and drop off. My little one is always happy and well fed. Nagis was recommended by our neighbour before so we trust her professional setting. We will continue using her in the coming year!

I am pleased to provide a glowing review for our child minder, who has been caring for our children for the past five years. Throughout this time, she has consistently exhibited professionalism, dedication, and a genuine sense of care in looking after our children.
From our very first meeting during the initial consultation, it was clear that she possesses a true passion for working with children and creating a safe, nurturing environment for them. Under her supervision, our children have flourished, as she has tailored activities to meet their individual needs and interests, while also promoting their social skills and cognitive development.
Furthermore, her communication with us as parents has been exceptional, as she regularly updates us on our children's progress and promptly addresses any concerns that may arise.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend our child minder for her outstanding childcare services and unwavering dedication to the well-being of our children.

Nargis has been looking after my daughter for just over a year. My daughter has not cried once when I drop her off. Nargis has a very nurturing way with children and my daughter loves her. Nargis has a warm and welcoming home for all children and I’m glad I found her! The best childminder in Watford.

My experience with Nargis has been an amazing one and I cannot express my gratitude enough for your support the past few months. My twin boys settled very well and have loved being looked after by Nargis. Honestly Nargis is one of the few good ones out there and this has really been my peace of mind. I’m super grateful to have met someone I can trust my sons with. Nargis is always attentive to the needs and circumstances of the kids. Also homely and my kids are happy and content. There has never been a cause for complaint.
Thank you for ensuring my kids are always well fed as this was a big concern for me with my previous Caregivers.
Thank you for being very helpful, patient and putting your all into your work. And thank you to your team for always having that beautiful smile and positive energy when I drop the boys off. Keep up the good work.

My two sons aged 2 and 4 years old have been with Nargis exactly a year today, on November 15th 2023. It was a tough period as I was (still am) a very anxious mother who just went back to work from maternity leave. I was worried about who would watch our sons but also who would watch over them to our standards. Nargis from day one always updated my husband & I on how our sons are doing when we text her. If there are any problems Nargis would video call us so we could see our boys. She cares for our boys like family and you can see a lot of love and care goes into everything she does as a childminder. Any questions we have Nargis answers us and gives us in full detail everything we need to know. The boys have developed and learned so much while being with her. Our boys have started feeding themselves when they use to ask us to feed them. She’s helped with potty training & also expanded the boys taste pallets with Nargis’ home cooked meals. The boys have socialised with other children that are also with Nargis. We are forever grateful that we have found Nargis & her team as without her, going to work would be stressful wondering how our sons are doing but being in great care with Nargis we have nothing to worry about.

We are first time parents and were extremely nervous about leaving our little one, who at the time was just over 6 months old. Nargis has diminished any reservations we had. It’s never too much when asked questions. Our little one has thrived within a few weeks. The lunch provided has made weaning easier for us. Genuinely our little girl has a smile on her face whenever I take her to the front door. The flexibility has been a god send for us - thank you.

**Review for Nargis Child Care Service:**
Nargis is an absolute godsend! She has cared for my children with such kindness, patience, and genuine warmth that they looked forward to every moment spent with her. Nargis goes above and beyond to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and her commitment to supporting families shines through in every interaction. Over the years, she has become more than a caregiver – she is a true partner in raising happy, confident children. I cannot recommend Nargis highly enough; she has been a blessing to our family, and we feel so grateful for her care!

Thank you so much it was a great pleasure working for your family.

Nargis baji has been a pure godsend to poor me who came back to work full time and was solo parenting too🙆🏻♀️ I was going out of my mind with worry for Hamza who was just 7 months old at that time. From the very first meeting, Nargis baji and her family instilled confidence and trust- and that was never ever challenged during the whole time that Hamza has been there. She and her team looked after him as their own, had gone above and beyond when he was ill and also made sure to look after me🥲. Her understanding and willingness to look after him at short notices or her generosity in giving away packed lunches for him are the traits that are just touching the surface. I truly could continue working only because of her and I’d be eternally grateful for that. We had a memorable time with her and Hamza and I are always going to cherish that and keep her and her family in our prayers :)

My son has going to Nargis and her team since he was 7 months old. She used to pick and drop him from the house which was very beneficial for me as i was working from home. She is very flexible and friendly . She never even showed any anger or frustration. Always a happy face 😊. She has given my son homely environment and I was stress free. My son has learnt a lot from her and she would always give me advice when asked. My son is now 2 . He is very well connected with Nargis and Zahid.
Since i move to another place, I had to end my contract with her and trust me it was most emotional thing for me and my son. My son still misses her. She is definitely the one to recommend with eyes closed.

Thank you so much izhaan is a lovely boy we all miss him aswell I wish you both best of luck in future.
Nargis, Zahid and team have been great childminders to my two little ones.
Our youngest has a health condition, and the team have gone out of their way and beyond to care for her specific needs. Our eldest needed school pick up/drop offs, and they were able to help us with this, so it made life alot easier being able to do one pick up/drop off from Nargis'. Both kids loved their time at the house, and the food too!! Parking was easy as there's always a space.
We cannot thank the team enough for the care and attention they have given to our kids - our kids will miss them dearly!

Thank you very much it was a pleasure looking after both children both will be missed dearly all the best for the future 😊
When my 3 year old got a place at the local school nursery, but our planned wrap around care let us down, I found Nargis. At very short notice, she soon became invaluable! The service she provides has been great. She is very reliable and is happy for us to use her when we need her but is flexible when we don't. She has excellent hours which allows my husbabd and I to commute. She provides home cooked meals that my son enjoys which takes the pressure off me in the evenings! If it weren't for the fact that our younger son can now join our older one in the school wrap around which is much closer to our house, we would continue to use Nargis. She really saved us when we were in a difficult situation!

Nargis started to childmind my son from 8 months old to 3 1/2 years old. Choosing Nargis for my son is one of the best decisions I have made for my child. She has been an incredible support from weaning him to solid food to potty training - I couldn’t have done this without her. Another fantastic aspect of Nargis and her team is the flexibility in the schedule due to my husbands work schedule.
I was very sad to leave Nargis but due to relocating up north didn’t really have much choice! She nurtured my son as if he was her own and for that I will be forever grateful.

I am from Watford, when I started my new job in Borenhamhood and had to look for new setting who provide long hours child support and flexible timings, I found Nargis through this website. She is the best I have known as I haven't used any other settings later. When moving my child from daycare to childminder, I had lots of questions and doubts on how it's going to work. But, it was much better than I realized. Her set up is very good and my child loves going there even now when there are school holidays. Her price is very reasonable and she charge only for the timing we actually send the child on daily basis. She provides home made food and managed very well with my child's restricted diet. I would highly recommend her always.

When we moved to Watford from Harrow, we first enquired with a few friends for suggestions for childminders, and we were told about Nargis and that she is the best in Watford and hence a bit difficult to get a place at. Luckily we got a place and when we met her for the first time at her place, we straightaway knew she is very experienced, systematic and well organised. My daughter has been going to her for the last 2 years and has been very happy. We have never had to think twice about our daughter's childcare.The best thing we have felt about her is she is very flexible especially our requirements have been irregular as it depends on my varying shift pattern. She has also not stipulated a minimum number of hours weekly which works out for us very well. We have never had any issues with her services especially school pick ups and we have always been at peace of mind regarding our daughter's childcare. Only once in the last 2 years was she unavailable due to an emergency but she made sure to make alternate arrangements. All this and still her charges are quite reasonable. She is definitely recommended to anyone looking for childcare in Watford.

My little girl started with Nargis when she was two years old up until 5 when we moved away.
Nargis offers an amazing service, a lot of times my little one was sad to leave because she enjoyed being there so much.
Nargis was the first childminder I had ever used and I feel very lucky to have found her. My little one felt a part of her family and we were both very sad to have to leave her.
On half terms I still use Nargis and I’m happy to travel the distance because she is a fantastic childminder and my little girl absolutely loves her and loves spending her time round there. If I could give more than 5 stars I most definitely would.

Nargis and Zahid are good childminders. They are very friendly and kind to kids, they love kids and therefore i think my daughter is happy there. My daughter has been with them since 2 years old. As she started during Covid times, we have agreed everything by phone and Nargis did a video tour for me around house and facilities for kids.
They worked together with an assistant therefore there are up to 9 babies and toddlers, but then kids have more friends and enjoy playing together.
My DD settled within a week and never was upset about being with childminder and not with mum.
From parents perspective it was really easy to deal with Nargis and Zahid - they are very approachable and helpful, always listen to you and provide update on child's being. One of best thing for me is the flexibility around opening time, their incredible support with transportation of kids and also finance terms.
They are always open for discussion and want to help kids to progress. For example we discussed a lot how to support my DD English speaking skills and they're doing the best to develop her speech.

I'm so glad we found Nargis when looking for childcare for our daughter. My daughter Isabel attended Nargis from the age of 10 months now she’s 4 years and she still going . Nargis is caring, friendly and has made sure our daughter was happy and settled every time we dropped her off. Our daughter loves it when she has a 'Nargis day '. Nargis provides a large variety of activities, she has a lovely outside space too for children to use. Nargis has been so thoughtful in acknowledging special days like birthdays and holidays for us. I very much recommend Nargis to anyone looking for childcare.

My little one has been going to Nargis for over 6 months. Nargis and her assistant are warm, friendly and very approachable.
Initially we were concerned that my son would have difficulty settling in but with kindness and patience she ensured he settled in well in this new setting.
She always communicated and informed me about his day and how he was getting on. They also do conduct a lot of activities and play and send us pictures which definitely brightens up our day.
Nargis provides a safe play environment and has a huge collection of books which my son absolutely adores. She is very flexible with the hours which makes it very convenient for to rush hour.
She also provides nutritious meals and snack and ensured my boy was fed well as he is a tad bit of a fussy eater.
I am very confident in leaving my son under her care and he enjoys going over.

Nargis is looking after my 2 years old son and she is doing a great job. Both her and her assistant love working with children and I can see that on my sons happy face every time we go there. This makes me very happy knowing that my son is in good hands.
She is very flexible with the time and understands parents needs.
My son has lunch and snacks provided by her and that is an other great thing.
I highly recommend her to all parents.
Thank you ladies and keep up the good work!

We've met few Childminders before we've met Nargis. As soon as we visited her place we new that is the best place for our son as he didn't want to come home. He's enjoyed being there from the first minute. Nargis was paying lots of attention to him from the first minute as well as explaining us how things work there. It said a lot about her. How dedicated she is and how much she loves kids.
It was the best decision we've made as our son loves going to Nargis's place. He's very happy and excited to see her every morning. I also have to mention how flexible and kind Nargis, her Family and Assistant are. They're always helping me out when I'm running late or have to change the schedule for a week.
I can't thank them enough. xx Highly recommended!
