My Summary
About Me
Currently FULL, upcoming availability: summer time (end of July to beginning of September)
Hello everyone! I am Maryam a qualified early years Educator with over 8 years of experience, the proud owner of The Honeybee Little Home. I live in Stapleton, about 5 minutes walk away from the Cheswick village area. I live with my husband and 2 lovely daughters, one is 3 and the other is 1. We are a multicultural home; we speak 3 languages: Arabic, English, and Tamil.
As a mother myself, I understand the importance of finding a childminder you can trust. That's why I strive to create a warm, home-like atmosphere where children can thrive and grow. My approach is centered around fostering individual growth, encouraging creativity, and promoting healthy social development.
I believe that every child is unique, with their own interests, strengths, and needs. That's why I tailor my care to each child, designing engaging activities and lesson plans that cater to their specific developmental stage. From arts and crafts to outdoor exploration, I aim to provide a well-rounded experience that supports both intellectual and emotional growth.
Safety is of the utmost importance to me, and I maintain a clean, well-equipped, and secure environment for the children. I am fully certified in first aid and adhere to all relevant childcare regulations and best practices.
If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced childminder, I would be delighted to discuss how I can meet your family's needs. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my services and availability.
I look forward to getting to know your family and provide your child with a nurturing and enriching childminding experience.

Choosing Maryam to care for our two children (1 & 3) has been one of the best decisions we've made.
From our very first visit, we felt an immediate sense of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, and this has only grown stronger over the months they have been attending her setting.
Both children absolutely are absolutely thriving.
Their speech (plus arabic words! Incredible!!) confidence and kindness. They also try new foods and enjoy them!
It's clear they feel completely safe, loved and happy by their actions at drop off and when being collected.
Maryam provides a variety of engaging and educational activities for the different ages of my children, lots of outdoor play, messy play (my household favourite) arts and crafts, nature walks, role playing and so on!
Her communication is exceptional. We receive updates, often with lovely photos, detailing what they've eaten, napped, and learned. She's very approachable and willing to discuss any concerns or developments, and nothing is ever a bother.
Maryam's home is a wonderful, stimulating, and incredibly safe environment. It’s always clean, well-organised, and full of age-appropriate toys and resources. Her commitment to safety and well-being is evident in every aspect of her practice, giving us complete peace of mind.
We cannot recommend Maryam highly enough. She treats our children like her own, and her loving, nurturing, and professional approach means I never worry when my children are in her care. We really feel like we've hit the jackpot with Maryam. Thank you for everything Maryam, our children love you and so do we!!

My daughter is going to preschool but her favourite weekday is Thursday, when she goes to Maryam's house. Her day is always packed with joy and fun, mostly outdoor. They usually join the nearby Forest school and/or other parks. Maryam is very professional and child safety is her first priority. Her house is spacious and full of sense stimulating activities. I definitely recommend her!
