My Experience
As a childminder with over 16 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of helping shape the lives of numerous young children. My experience as a full-time mom has also been invaluable, giving me a unique perspective on the joys and challenges of parenting. Experience gained as a key worker in a nursery has further strengthened my ability to provide tailored care to individual children, taking into account their unique personalities and learning styles. I take pride in being a certified childcare professional, which has allowed me to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children in my care. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing fun activities or simply providing a listening ear, I always strive to be a positive influence in the lives of the children I work with.
My Qualifications
I have completed several courses and certifications to become a qualified childminder. I started with the NVQ Childcare Certification Level 1, which provided me with a basic understanding of childcare and education. I then pursued the Learning and Development courses at Level 2 and 3, which helped me to enhance my knowledge and skills in planning and delivering activities that promote children's learning and development. In addition to these courses, I have also completed First Aid Pediatric Training, which equipped me with the necessary skills to respond to medical emergencies that may occur while caring for children. These qualifications demonstrate my commitment to providing a nurturing environment for the children under my care.

My daughter started with Reema at 2 and half years old. We visited the setting, we immediately noticed how clean it was and liked that there was a specific area for the children.
My daughter had/has a strong attachment to me so I expected her to cry and not want me to leave. It took a few months for her to get used to me leaving her but this was in no way a reflection on Reema. Once I left, Reema said she would calm down within a minute. Every time I picked her up she had a smile and you could tell she enjoyed herself.
It has definitely got her ready for nursery.
We had a different childminder for our son 4 years ago and the only things I would note that are different is the frequency of photos. I'd love to see more of what my daughter gets up to, especially as I know she loves being there. The other thing is updates/tracking of her progress. I know everyone is different but when my son left his childminder he had a large binder full of pictures, paintings, photographs, tracking his reading etc. She also kept a food diary and kept it in his bag that came home with us so we knew exactly what he ate and how much each week.
Overall, Reema's setting has been great!!

I came across Reema on childcare UK. Was very well suited as working long hours at basildon hospital, she could cater to mine and my daughters needs. I was very nervous as was such long days for my 1 year old but she was very quick to settle. She always has a big smile on her face when I drop her off so that puts me at ease, I know she enjoys going there. She is also coming along so we'll with her speech as mixing with the other children I'm sure this has encouraged her to do so. Reema is very friendly and always professional in her approach. You can see the children love being in her care:)

I felt so comfortable leaving my daughter with Reema. Reema is so welcoming and makes sure that the environment for the kids is as comfortable as possible. It is very clear that she has their best interests at heart. I was so lucky to have her, and her flexibility with my shift patterns was extremely helpful. Thank you, Reema!

My daughter likes going to Rema house. She is always happy and smiling. As a student nurse, going to placement and university, it was a struggle to find a childminder who can accommodate my busy schedule. Rema is so good with children and very understanding. I am comfortable with my daughter in her care.

My 15month old started going to Reema for about a month now, she loves it there and it's evidence Reema loves the children too... She keeps me updated, flexible as I work shift pattern even her home has an homely feel towards it. My LO is beginning to talk clearly, she enjoys the activities and she always gives Reema a hug once we get there. Qualified, flexible, maintain high hygiene... Reema also works with my daughter's diet as she doesn't eat much at once.......
My anxiety was put to rest, thanks Reema x.... A true gem
