Shamim is an amazing childminder. She looked after my two little daughters when the first one was 5 months and after one year my second daughter joined with her. She looked after them separately and together from a young age and sometimes they stayed longer during my study in the university as a PhD student and been able to accommodate our other kids for days during school holidays.

Both my daughters really enjoyed their time and came home with lots to talk about. Shamim planned a lot of indoor activities for them such as arts, crafts, painting, making cake, reading, and playing with water and sand in her garden also outdoor activities like playing at the park and going to the playgroup, and joined with other kids. She also took photos and videos for them during activities and shared them with me. Shamim has been so thoughtful in acknowledging special days like Birthdays and Mother's Day and also special occasions like Easter, New Year, Ramadan, and Eid.

The best things about Shamim she is very flexible in time, very careful, trustworthy, professional manner, and kind. She kept us up to date throughout what they were doing. She was excellent at timekeeping and managing the day including meals, snacks, and naps.

Now one of my daughters has now moved on to a school nursery and still wants to go to Shamim's house and she missed her too much, Shamim is still keeping in touch with her and sometimes she invites her during the weekend.

I literally cannot recommend Shamim enough, she is brilliant and I could not have dreamt of a better person to look after our daughters really she is a childcare dream!
