About Me
Hi. I am an Ofsted registered child minder. I have been working with children since 2007. I live in Commercial Road which is near Limehouse station . It is a 3 bedroom property and I have a big outdoor play area with my living room where children can play with different activities. Children will be encouraged to play outdoors with bike, trike, scooter, playing balls, water and messy play activities. My home is in commercial road which is very convenient and DLR and bus service is available: 15, 115, 135, D3. I provide child care from Monday to Friday , 8am- till 8 p.m. I am very hard working, flexible, friendly, passionate and a happy person who loves to work with young children. I really enjoy working with children and provide a wide range of activities where children will be encouraged to express themselves in a positive manner and challenged to maximise their potential. I respect children from different ethnic minorities. Children feel free and happily join in with the activities. After school, children are encouraged to do art work, helped to do homework and also visit our local park. Recently I had Ofsted inspection in October 2019.My overall setting is strong and good.

I have also implemented COVID Sanitary areas within my setting to prevent spread of infection. Parents and children coming to and from my home will be expected to use this facility regularly. Toys and areas of play are cleaned down regularly with anti bacterial wipes to minimise the risk of infection.

My Experience
I have had nearly 16 years of experience in working with children. Before I became a child minder I worked in a mainstream school. I had the opportunity to work with children with different learning abilities. I worked patiently with children who have language difficulties, who I spoke slowly and clearly to. I always make good eye contact with children . Currently I am doing child minding , looking after children of ages from 0 to 8 years. I do planning and observations and always treat the children individually. In my setting I always practice EYES Framework . I provide a safe, secure and stimulate environment. I build friendly relationships with children; consequently they feel free and happy. I always supports children to develop self independence, sharing, self confidence, feels good about themselves. I also share information with parents every day and work together to develop the child's area of learning. I always take the children in drop-ins, children centres and parks where children can play lots of different activities and mix with other children to develop physical movement, grow confidence and social skills. Learning health and safety around the world. Children can easily adjust to my daily care routine. I plan the activities according to children individual needs.

Fathema has been looking after our daughter Ada full time Mon-Fri for 2 years, since she was just turned 1.
She is a wonderful childminder and always makes an effort to take the children to different play centres and parks/farms in the local area on a daily basis.
Our daughter LOVES her - she even asks to go there at weekends! We will miss her very much and are so sad that due to moving out of the area we will no longer be able to take her there.
Fathema also looked after my other 2 children (5 & 7) by collecting them from school each day and they always had a great time.
She is a great childminder and I very much recommend!
I wanted to come back and leave Fathema a review although my son was under her care quite some time ago, we still miss her! My son was very happy at Fathemas, he even called her Mumma. She is very professional but also extremely loving & caring. You would be very lucky to have Fathema as your child carer. Nadine :)
Fathema took care of our daughter from 6 months until 1 year old, when we moved away. Fathema is a very warm and caring person and we felt completely comfortable leaving our baby with her. Our daughter settled easily and soon she was smiling and hugging Fathema when we dropped her off in the morning, which was a big relieve for us as it showed she was very happy there. Fathema's place really felt like a home from home for our daughter and that is exactly what we were looking for.
Everyday Fathema organizes nice activities for the children, either playing at her place (inside or on the big balcony) or she would take the children to the playground, children centre, city farm,... We would get pictures regularly, and our daughter was always smiling and looked very happy.
Our daughter was still doing 2 (quite long) naps, and Fathema always accommodated those needs and followed our little girl's rhythm, which is important to us.
At the end of each day, we had a chat about how our little girl was developing and the new skills she was learning, how she ate, slept and so on. We felt we could easily discuss any topic and Fathema was very open and responsive to our feedback.
In short, we are very happy we found Fathema and we will miss her very much. We would highly recommend Fathema to anyone looking for a loving childminder in a family setting.
Fathema is a great Childminder and I would recommend her to anyone. She is very kind and caring and my son settled in with her right away. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. My son grew a lot during his time with Fathema. She takes the children to the park, unfortunately due to covid she couldn't take them to the child centre as usual but she always has fun activities planned and has a great play area for the children. My son really enjoyed his time with her and was sad to leave. We will miss Fathema.
As a person: Fathema is very friendly and approachable. The minute you see her she puts you at ease and you feel that yes, my child is safe in her hands. She is very active and probably a good fit for the job she has to do. She involves the kids in activities, song and dance which keeps them occupied. She takes the children to the play centre every now and then to keep them busy and happy.
The place: Extremely spick and span. Cleanliness is the key. Toys are well organised and the entire area is nicely maintained. I have never seen such a clean childminder in London.
Activities: As a parent you would panic the first few days you leave your kid around. To put you at ease, Fathema sends timely updates (photos and videos) of your child to show how well your child is coping. Also everyday she gives you a report on what your baby is learning and suggestions as to what you could do at home.
All in all she is a Godsend for us who had no option but to return to work and drop our son in safe hands.
Thanks Fathema. Keep up the great work. Ever in debt to your excellent service.
