My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Tahira, I have been a professional, qualified nanny for 17 years as well as being a qualified teacher. I have now transferred over to childminding and run my own home from home setting called 'Chatfield Childcare.'
Opening hours are Mon- Thurs, 8am-5pm
I am married and have four daughters of my own who are 16months, 5yrs,9yrs and 11yrs. My husband also has a DBS certificate.
I have a driving license and am a non-smoker.
I am a hard working, honest, reliable, organised individual who is passionate about working with young children. Children respond well to my warm hearted, caring, nurturing approach.
As a parent myself, I understand that your children are your world and you only want the very best individual to care for them.
Chatfield Childcare aims to provide a warm, friendly home from home environment where children will feel safe, build confidence, learn independence, progress and develop through a range of activities, but most of all make friends and have lots of FUN!
I love what I do and believe that I am that person who would care for your children the way I would want my own children to be cared for.
If you are interested in your child/children joining Chatfield Childcare then please feel free to drop me a message and I will respond as soon as possible.
My Experience
I have been involved in the education and childcare industry for 17 years.
As well as my experience as a nanny, I am also a trained primary school teacher specialising in the early years and have had experience in many other areas of the education sector such as key worker, nursery assistant and classroom assistant.
I also have four children of my own so have lots of mummy experience!
I have worked with many families looking after children of all ages and we have built good working relationships.
I feel that my teaching experience is a bonus as I have a lot of subject knowledge and understand exactly how to help children learn and achieve to the very best of their ability. I understand that all children are different and develop at different stages to one another.
I also have experience working with children who have EAL (English as an Additional Language) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability).

Tahira made our transition into childcare seamless and so easy.
She is so caring and loving towards the children and takes an individual approach to each child when needed.
Her follow up to each session is thorough and thoughtful (photos, messages etc) and really puts you at ease in terms of what your child has been up to each day.
I would not hesitate to recommend Tahira or have my child in her care.

Tahira is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her as a childminder. She offers a wonderful home environment for the children together with lots of activities and my daughters really enjoyed the days that they spent with her.
Tahira is kind, nuturing and has a wealth of experience in childcare, together with her teaching experience it makes her a great choice.

Tahira is a fantastic childminder. My son settled really quickly with her as she has such a calm and caring nature. She has many years experience working in childcare and in bringing up her own daughters. She provides well planned, engaging activities and outings for the children in her care. My son loved his time with her and her family and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!

We have been very lucky to find Tahira, she has been looking after our 3 years old child. From day 1 our kid was extremely happy with her. Tahira is reliable, super kind, friendly and responsible. She has deep knowledge and experience with kids which converts Tahira in an extremely reliable person.
One thing we noticed from the very beginning, is that she motivates key habits like hygiene for instance and routines that the kid has established already.
Due to our jobs, we could't commit to be at home every day at the same time so she showed flexibility to facilitate pick ups and remove stress from our side.
We can not recommend more Tahira to anyone looking for a nanny.

We are very lucky to have found Tahira to meet our childcare needs as she is reliable, friendly, and thoughtful in the way that she makes the most of the time with the children. She has many years of experience of looking after children, has excellent communication skills and she brings an element of fun to her work. I would highly recommend Tahira to anyone who is looking for a nanny.
