Nadiyah Rehman
Nursery Manager
Working at Aflah since 2017.
"I’m a confident person who enjoys taking the initiative and putting my knowledge and experience into practice every day. I really enjoy my role and feel very lucky to work with such an amazing and dedicated team."
"Building relationships with our lovely families is also a big part of what I enjoy. Most of all, I love seeing all of our children grow, learn and make progress in their own individual ways. Whether it’s watching our little two-year-olds become more confident and independent as they prepare for school, or seeing our younger children reach their own little milestones, every achievement is special and rewarding.
Being able to support the children and families through these important early years, and watching them flourish, is what makes my role so enjoyable and worthwhile."

"I absolutely love being part of the children’s little journeys and watching them learn, grow and become more confident every day. I love creating exciting experiences for the children, especially setting up messy play, creative art activities and fun opportunities to explore and get involved. 🎨🫧 I love seeing their little faces light up when they discover something new or create something they are proud of. I really enjoy being part of Aflah’s lovely environment, working alongside a great team and building special relationships with the children and their parents.
Every day brings something new, and it’s so rewarding to see the children flourish, gain confidence and achieve new milestones!✨"

"I really enjoy working with children and being part of their little steps as they grow, learn and develop. I enjoy supporting them through all the different moments of their day whether that’s helping them through a meltdown, resolving a conflict, comforting them when they’re upset, helping them settle, or simply sharing in their happiness when they’re having a good time.
I feel privileged to be part of their early years and to help them feel safe, confident and supported. I also really enjoy being part of the Aflah team. We work well together, support one another and share the same aim of giving the children the best possible start."
