About Me
I am a 43yr old mother of two (10 and 6 year old). I'm a highly qualified primary school teacher. I then worked many years as a childminder, but have now moved to wrap around care. Providing fun childcare and activities covering Early Learning Goals, Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculum.
I drop off and collect from Lovelace Primary school in Chessington in a large eight seater car.
I also provide ad hoc care over the school holidays - going on outings and carrying out fun craft activities.
I offer a home from home setting, fun and relaxed. I believe in a good balance of play and learning. I like sublty providing activities that support and develop each child's needs (personal and educational).
I think kids learn best when they have time to be active, so we take daily outings. I also understand the stresses on parents so I ensure homework is completed (offering support where needed) also reading diaries, spellings ect
I provide:
home cooked meals and healthy snacks ; large garden; regular outings; lots of educational; themes linked to school topics; choice of toys;books.
Typical day:
breakfast, activities, garden park

snack
park/softplay/magic garden

Karima is a fantastic childminder. I marvel at how she has the energy and enthusiasm to care for her group. My son is an active boy and he loves all the activities and trips Karima plans. She supports him in his learning and allows him the time and space to be himself, he is truly thriving in her care. I highly recommend Karima.
I moved to the area 18 months ago, Karima helped the whole family settle with her kind nature.

My daughter who is autistic and dyslexic loved the care she received. Karima's care and understanding of my daughters needs has been amazing. She has always ensured that her needs where met and at times has gone over and above in her approach to supporting her. She is keen to work with parents to ensure children feel secure and safe in her care. After school care is carefully structured with the needs of children at the centre, meals are nutritious with children's allergies, etc taken into consideration, her home is a lovely environment and after school activities chosen are fun but at the same time stimulating for children. I highly recommend Karima, the only reason my daughter is no longer with Karima is due to a change in school placement

I've known Karima for 10+ years, she's always been child focused, with her teaching experience and natural maternal instincts she is my first choice with looking after my little one.
She shares similar values to me with gentle approaches to supporting children to flourish and learn. The food she cooks is healthy and all home made.
Her house is immaculate and there is a spacious sunny garden. Karima has plenty of equipment and ideas for fun and educational activities.
Highly recommended.

Karima is a brilliant childminder. I was really impressed the way she has organised all the toys and kids activities in her home. My daughter loves to go to her home and she is very supportive and fullfil the child's needs. I definitely recommend her to any child of any age group.

I've known this lady for years she is very experienced in childcare. She is extremely nice and has a calming way about her and her home always feels warm. My daughter loves going to her house. There is so many fun activities and each day is very structured and suits each childs needs. Has extensive knowledge with new borns and older children. I'm currently on maternity leave but when I plan on going back to work I will place my son in her care aswell.
