Our son started with Yasmin (and her lovely daughter who is definitely a major bonus to her setting!) in March 2024 at just over 3. He is so happy with her and has grown so much in confidence in just a few months and is always super happy and full of smiles and stories when I pick him up. He struggles with change and new settings and Yasmin went out of her way to help him settle with her at his own pace and to reassure and update us too as to what was happening. I was always confident that she was comforting, cuddling and helping him through being upset and that if he couldn't settle she'd let us know so we could pick him up (which we never needed to). She sends really thorough updates every day and takes far more gorgeous pictures than I ever manage and our son is always telling us about things he's done with her. We were regularly told 'Yasmin says we do X / Yasmin has pink towels in her house / Yasmin has gold handles in her car' - think he was a bit obsessed for a while! We chose a childminder because we wanted our son to be out and about in the world and they absolutely are - a different playgroup every morning (but the same ones each week so now they have friends there too who they see weekly), home for lunch and then all sorts of messy play, activities, crafts and library or park visits every afternoon. Half terms and holidays are particularly fun with a packed itinerary I'm very jealous of! Cliveden, Bucks Goat Centre, the Discover Bucks Museum - somewhere different and exciting every day. Very quickly Yasmin understood our son really well and adapted to what he needs. She is really in tune with emerging interests and quickly notices things he's starting to enjoy more and then plans more activities to meet his preferences. She proactively weaves in skills like letter recognition, counting, mark-making into play and our son has also learned huge amounts academically through playing and exploring. Our son eats way better at her house than at home and she cooks all sorts of lovely meals (spag bol/salmon, noodles and veg/cottage pie/chicken curry). Quite early on when my partner was picking our son up one day (and before Yasmin or our son had seem him) he saw him mid-play just run up to Yasmin and give her a cuddle before carrying on playing; it's clear to the children too how much she cares for them. She's always super engaged, encouraging and playful with the children and our son is really thriving with her. I can't speak highly enough of Yasmin and I'm so grateful we found her!

Yasmin was our nanny for over two years when our children were 3.5, 4, and 7. Now 6,7 and 10. We consider ourselves hugely grateful and lucky to have found Yasmin. She is fun, loving, firm but fair. Setting boundaries but allowing the children freedom to be “children”. Yasmin is worldly, patient, hugely organised, proactive - continuously organising clubs and holiday adventures. Yasmin maintained their crazy club schedule, always going above and beyond whilst caring and keeping them safe. Homework, play, preparing all meals, bathing and leaving the children happy, content and house, clothes etc immaculate daily. Yasmins “can do”, energetic, practical, focused, approach to work and everything she does is unrivalled. The children had everything they required to thrive, learn right from wrong, explore, and grow. You will not find a better carer for your child who will be very happy in her care.

I would highly recommend Yasmin. She looked after my little girl when I had to return back to work and the love and care she gave to her was incredible. Every day she would be doing different activities & I could see my daughter thrive over the time Yasmin looked after her. She has a room dedicated for play & exploring which my little one loved! As a first time mum I was very hesitant to leave my child with anyone, but Yasmin would put my mind at ease with pictures and communication throughout the day. Thank you so much for caring for my daughter!

Words cannot describe how grateful and lucky we have been to have found Yasmin. As a first time mum I was going through every emotion possible and Yasmin was there to offer her heartfelt support and kindness to us as a family. To watch your small child grow in confidence and everyday be filled with such excitement to try new things or see Yasmin is all you want and more.
Yasmin always put the children’s interests first, she and the children absolutely LOVE messy play, we were always updated with photos and artwork. She was just the perfect choice and fit for our family and our daughter. We cannot recommend Yasmin enough and any family/child would be lucky to have her.

I wholeheartedly recommend Yasmin as a nanny or childminder for her outstanding abilities in nurturing children’s happiness, health and good behaviour.
She was a nanny to my twin boys who were 10 months and my eldest son who was 5 years old at the time and looked after them for 4 years. My boys absolutely loved their time with Yasmin. She’s great at setting routines, eating healthy balanced meals, potty trained my twin boys, managed to get them off the dummy and bottle. Ensured my eldest son completed his homework, reading and spelling. Boys loved the play groups that they attended and their days out during the school holidays. She always made their school holidays fun and birthdays special.
She’s great at maintaining discipline in a way that’s firm but gentle. She is highly punctual, trustworthy and reliable. Yasmin’s got all the right qualities and skills to be a great childminder.

Yasmin is brilliant at her job and my children absolutely love their time with her. She is warm, caring and fun but also great a helping them learn new skills and encouraging independence.
Yasmin is well organised, patient and motivated and she always goes the extra mile to help. I could not rate her any higher, she’s fantastic.
