Meet Fatima Zahra Patel
Fatima Zahra Patel is a passionate Occupational Therapist working in the paediatric field and the owner of Toptots Houghton. With experience gained across State Hospitals, Special Needs Schools and Private Practice, she brings a strong clinical foundation and practical insight into early childhood development.
Now a proud mother of two, having recently welcomed a baby boy to her family, Fatima understands first hand the importance of the early years and the role parents play in shaping their child’s growth. She believes deeply that every child has unique potential and that, through the right support and guidance, children can grow into confident and capable individuals.
At Toptots Houghton, Fatima facilitates the structured Toptots developmental programme in a warm and inclusive environment where families feel supported and encouraged. Her goal is to nurture happy, secure children while equipping parents with knowledge and confidence along the way.
Families are warmly invited to book a complimentary trial class and experience the programme in action.
