My Summary
About Me
Dear parent,
Hello, I am Faatimah, an Ofsted registered childminder with over 10 years in early childhood and a proud parent of two young children myself - one is 5 years old, and the other 10 months. I truly understand how important it is for children to feel safe and loved while their away from home. I create a warm and cosy environment where children can explore, play, and develop their independence. there's nothing I enjoy more than dancing, singing, and playing with little ones. my personal experience has given me a deep understanding of the importance of quality childcare. I know first hand how crucial it is for children to feel loved, comfortable, and secure, which is why I have created a nurturing, home nursery environment where every child can feel secure and thrive in all areas development.
I understand how difficult it can be for parents when they leave there little ones to go to work, to make this this journey as smooth and easy as possible I use an app to notify parent of meals, nappies/toiling, sleep etc. I really value working alongside parents to make sure each child has the best experience possible. I keep communication open, sharing updates and ideas so we can support your little one’s growth together. Every child is unique, and I make it a point to learn what they love. I’ll incorporate their favourite games, toys, and activities into our day so they feel right at home. Whether we’re getting crafty, exploring outside, or just having a dance party, it’s all about making fun memories.
I offer nutritious, home-cooked meals, including breakfast, lunch, and tea, complemented by healthy snacks like fruits, rice cakes, and breadsticks. I make an effort to incorporate each child’s favourite meals and snacks to ensure they feel at home and happy during their time with us.
My setting is based off Harrow road next to little Vince Canal, about a 7-minuten walk from royal oak station.

My Experience
I have a strong foundation in childcare, having worked in a nursery setting where I gained hands-on experience while completing my Level 2 Childcare qualification. This role allowed me to engage directly with children, fostering their development in a nurturing environment.
I am First Aid trained, ensuring that I can respond effectively to emergencies. Additionally, I am knowledgeable in safe sleep practices, food hygiene, and health and well-being, which are critical for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for children.
I have also completed training in outdoor learning, recognizing the importance of connecting children with nature and providing enriching experiences outside the classroom. Currently, I am furthering my expertise by pursuing my Level 3 Childcare course, which will enhance my skills and understanding of child development and care.
Through my qualifications and practical experience, I am committed to providing high-quality care and education to children, supporting their growth and well-being

I cannot recommend Faatimah highly enough! She has been caring for my daughter since she was just 6 months old, and over the past two years, her nurturing environment has made all the difference in our lives.
Faatimah provides healthy, home-cooked meals that not only cater to my child’s nutritional needs but also introduced her to a wonderful variety of foods and snacks. It was such a joy to see her embrace new tastes and develop healthy eating habits early on.
One of the standout features of Faatimah’s care is the daily updates through our family app. She regularly shared pictures and notes about my daughter’s activities, milestones, and the fun she was having, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. It felt like I was right there with her, watching her thrive.
Faatimah also provides age-appropriate activities that have helped my little one reach important developmental milestones. My daughter always came home excited and full of stories about her day. It was clear she was not only safe and happy but also engaged and learning.
Leaving my child with Faatimah was always a stress-free experience. I knew she was being cared for as if she were her own. If you are looking for a dedicated, loving childminder who prioritizes your child's well-being and development, Faatimah is the one to choose
Thank you Faatimah!

Fatima is loving and accommodating childminder. She understands parents very well as she is a mother herself. We are so grateful that she went the extra mile to help our baby to settle and make us feel at ease. She is always happy to answer any questions and is very open to feedback and even asks how are we finding everything.
Our little toddler is always very happy to go to Fatima's and she has very delicious fresh food everyday. Fatima supports our little one's development with plenty of play with toys, painting, outdoor outings and she even organises day tips at the end of the year.
We get food menus, updates about meals, etc through an app and also lovely photos of what our little one has been up to.
We are very happy with Fatima and more importantly our little one is always happy to spend the day with her childminder.

Faatimah was such a blessing to find for me. I needed childcare for a couple weeks during the summer while nursery was on holiday break, and I found Faatimah who lives only a 15-minute walk away from me.
From the first day, my son didn’t want to leave. Also, the second day he was crawling into his pram to go to back to her home! I love that she lives near a playground where they go everyday and she cooked great meals my son enjoyed and I got nice daily updates from her. I plan to bring my son back to her when needed in the future!!

Fatima is a really caring childminder that I feel very lucky I have found. She looks after my 2yr old boy and I am so happy to see him happy and so eager to go at Fatima's every morning! I would recommend Fatima's home nursery to anyone!

Fatima has been looking after our daughter since September 2022 when she was almost 10 months old. We're so pleased with the care that Fatima provides and our daughter just loves her - when we drop her in the morning she is reaching for Fatima before we've even get her out of the pram!
As a nervous, first-time parent returning to work, Fatima made sure to keep in touch throughout the day and has continued to do so, providing regular updates on the Famly app (which documents, meals, sleep, nappy changes, etc.) and photos by text.
Fatima makes sure to get the children outside at least once a day, with regular trips to the park and playground, and also to the library and the play centre. She arranges age-appropriate developmental activities and has a wonderful selection of toys that she thoughtfully rotates and uses to support the day's theme/focus. Fatima prepares varied, nutritionally balanced, delicious meals and has been really helpful in supporting our daughter's weaning journey. Our daughter is a great little eater and I'm sure this is in no small part due to Fatima.
Fatima is a dedicated, responsible, trust-worthy and caring childminder and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
