We can’t thank Zehra enough for everything she’s done over the past 3 and a half years.

Finding the right childcare setting for our 1 year old felt incredibly daunting - we met several childminders and nurseries - but as soon as we entered Zehra’s we knew this was the perfect place. The smaller-supportive setting, the creative activities available, and Zehra’s nurturing approach was evident from the outset. Zehra and her family couldn’t have been more welcoming!

Communication was great - from sending text updates to reassure me on the first week to regular food diaries and photos on a secure website as well as check-ins at the end of the day.

Zehra recognised that Edie would benefit from being more assertive and supported her (and us) to achieve that which made a big difference. The routine provided Edie with stability, increasing her independence and confidence - singing songs together in the morning, learning numbers, letters, how to write her own name, creative play, preparing her own snacks and going to the toilet on her own. She couldn’t be more prepared for school!

In addition the trips to local playgrounds, farms, even a trip to Buckingham Palace made it feel like a home from home. Edie has made friends for life at Zehra’s. Thank you for everything! We will miss you.
