My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I am married and I have three children of my own. I live within walking distance of a park and transport links to my house are very good. Having brought up three children aged 31,28 and 21 in my setting and with over 16 years of experience in child-minding, I have built up a warm and secure environment for children in my care. I have taken care of children of various ages ranging from 6 months to 11 years and have received positive feedback in every case. References are available upon request.
I place a particular emphasis on healthy eating and provide a variety of meals to suit the children’s tastes. Steamed vegetables are accompanied with every meal.
My setting has been altered to cater to the needs of the children in my care, with the garden having an extensive range of toys and activities for entertainment purposes. I plan activities for children of all ages every day that helps with their learning, and they cover all 7 areas of development. Some of these activities include play dough, sand, orbeez, mud kitchen and coloured rice and pasta. For example, the activity which involves coloured pasta and rice can help with children's (aged 9 months - 5 years) maths skills, when measuring cups and counting toys and pasta; communication skills and personal, social and emotional developmental skills when talking to others, and physical development, when using their hands to grasp the rice.
Finally, I believe that there are many skills that children can learn indoors as well as outdoors, which is why I regularly take them out on trips. Due to COVID, I have not made extensive trips to places I used to go to, such as the Science Museum, London Eye, Fire Station, Playgroup, but I plan to do so in the near future as places open up.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My daughter started with Syeda when she was 13 months old. This is our first time using a childminder and Syeda immediately put me at ease. She is incredibly friendly, approachable and her setting is extremely clean, well equipped and ideally set up for children.
Syeda took time to understand my daughter's likes/dislikes and adjusted her settling in period to make it as smooth as possible for her which we really appreciated.
My daughter looks forward to going to Syeda and is excited to spend the day there. Syeda has provided a very warm and caring environment for my daughter and she has developed so much in confidence and skills since starting childcare with Syeda and I put this down to her nurturing environment.
Syeda provides me with a daily update of activities, nappies, food and naps which I find really helpful. My daughter has expanded her range of foods since attending Syeda's setting and the food provided is nutritious and healthy.
Syeda also takes her out on various outings to the library, playgroup and park which my daughter really enjoys.
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Syeda. She is an outstanding childminder and she takes a truly joint approach with parents in ensuring the children under her care have the best experience and growth.

Thank you very much for your kind review, I really appreciate it. It’s always a pleasure caring for your daughter.
Our daughter was at Syeda's setting from when she was 17 months until 3 and a half years. Since the beginning she settled incredibly well and absolutely loved being there. Syeda is an incredible childminder, very calm and confident; the children do many lovely activities during the day and often went to the park or the library. The food provided was delicious and healthy and helped my daughter expand the range of flavours and food she'd eat. It's been great to always feel my daughter was in a very safe, happy, loving and enriching environment.
We all miss Syeda and her lovely family.

My daughter attended Syeda's setting from 10months to three and a 1/2 years and settled in quickly. I always felt completely relaxed about her enjoying herself and being really well looked after. Right from the first meeting, I saw that Syeda was wonderful with the children, with a really calm and secure manner.
Syeda's setting is comfortable and welcoming, and the children are made to feel part of the family.
Syeda's food was excellent, healthy and varied, and really encouraged my daughter to develop a broad appetite.
They did loads of educational play and varied activities, which helped my daughter with letters and numbers among other things, were taken out to the park and indoor play settings often, and generally had a great time with all Syeda's wonderful toys, books and costumes.
Syeda maintained daily, detailed communication with the parents, which I really appreciated. She has encouraged close friendships between the children, and hosted the parents together occasionally too (with amazing food!).
We all really miss her now that she's moved away and I am sad that my second child won't benefit from her wonderful care!

My daughter settled in with Syeda straight away when she joined as an almost 1 year old. She stayed in her setting until she was 3 1/2 years and was always happy to go. Syeda was happy to adjust routines to support my daughter and was always willing to listen and try new ways to make things work. She cooks delicious food, with a great variety and caters well to allergies. Syeda provides detailed daily feedback and would also send photos of what my daughter had been doing. Syeda's whole family welcomed my daughter into their home and we were very lucky to have her look after our daughter.

Our daughter started with Syeda when she was just 10 months old and settled in well from the start.
She went on to stay in Syeda's setting until she was 3 and a half and it was hard to leave!
The setting is a wonderful home-like setting and Syeda provides everything you would want in terms of activities, nourishing food and learning. Our daughter made great friends of different ages and often talked of Syeda and her family as if they were her own.
I would thoroughly recommend Syeda's setting to anybody looking for a Childminder in the area.
