About Me

Hi, I am an OFSTED OUTSTANDING registered childminder, I became an official Quality Assured and an accredited member of the childminding network in 2013. I have been a registered childminder for 13 years. I have childminded 70 children during that time and in various age groups from 5months -14years.

I live with my husband, 15 year old son, and 10month old, I am currentlyon maternityleave and ready to open up my setting again from 2026 when my baby will be 1 year old.
We live in a 2 double bedroom apartment situated in Bromley-by-bow, where transport is not a problem as I have an underground station (District & Hammersmith line) also DLR and various buses as little as 5 minutes away from my house.

I also speak fluent English and Bengali, but I adapt to different languages, as all the children I childmind for are from all different backgrounds, and English is not always their 1st language.

Also, I have a walk-in centre & pharmacy downstairs from my apartment and parks/playgroups at walking distance from me, where I regularly attend with the children.

I have always worked with children and enjoy spending time with them, and provide a stimulating educational /reliable, playful service which meets the EYFS and childrens needs.
I closed for maternity leave for 1st time and am ready for the re opening, with my 1-year-old boy. I am very excited to meet new children and families again and help each child thrive in all areas of learning.

My Experience

I have been working as a qualified childminder for over 9 years, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge over the years, I am currently childminding 2 children aged 1 and 2.

I aim to help develop the childrens development stages, socially, physically, intellectually and emotionally by means of age and stage appropriate toys, activities and outings. I encourage all children to embrace diversity and respect the beliefs and feelings of others whilst improving their everyday skills through practice and play. I have managed to get all the children all ready for school when they are school age, .and they have transitioned very well after they leave.

I was inspected by Ofsted and rated a OUTSTANDING childminder which was my 2nd visit from them in October 2018. my first visit I received GOOD.

Best childminder!!!!

5 stars

Amina has looked after our little girl since between the age of 2.5 years old to present (3.5 years old). I don’t have a single bad word to say about Amina. Our daughter has developed so much in comparison to the local nursery that she was in before we went to Amina. We get updates every lunch time with photos so it’s nice to see what our daughter has been up to. Amina is very accommodating to our needs. If I need to drop off our daughter earlier than usual then Amina can accommodate this. Our daughter is a fussy eater but when she is at Amina’s she eats everything that is offered to her. We are still with Amina and I highly recommend her to any parent.

Fantastic Childminder

5 stars

Amina took care of our son Filip for 8 months and we cannot wish a better person to look after him. We were heartbroken when we moved and had to take Filip out of Amina's care. He started going there when he was 11 months old and he was happy in her care from the beginning. Amina creates warm and welcoming environment and has a great connection with all children. Based on progress of our son, she is also very focused on the skills and personality development. We would also like to mention her excellent communication with parents and her precise paperwork. We can highly recommend Amina, she was Filip's first childminder and we couldn't be happier with her services.

A wonderful childminder!

5 stars

Amina is a fantastic childminder. She is really caring and dedicated to supporting the children in her care to learn and develop; my daughter loved going to her. Amina is passionate and knowledgeable and really tailors her care to the needs of the individual child. For example, my daughter took a bit longer to get the hang of walking and Amina did so much to encourage her to feel more confident, it made a real difference. I would gladly recommend her to anyone.

Amazing childminder

5 stars

Amina has an excellent childcare setting for the children, my children recieve much more one to one attention with her and greatly have developed whilst being in Aminas care for the last 6months. My children used to go to pre school nursery, but i was not happy with the care given there. Therefor i chose to go with a childminder and was recommended Amina. I was astonished by how quickly they were developing. Amina runs her setting like a little play centre and my children love it. She is a very caring, flexible and trusworthy childminder.

Excellent childminder

5 stars

Amina is a very active childminder always going out of her way to help my child develop and enjoy herself. She is very passionate and caring with my child, as for a parent it is very important to trust anyone you leave your child with, but i trust her 100% and i am very lucky to have amina as a childminder as she is always giving updates when i am at work and we have a great patnership together. My daughter really loves to go to Aminas and is always talking about all the great activities she has done with her. I would definately recommend Amina to any parent as she provides an excellent service.
Thank you Amina.

Reliable, Professional and Enthusiastic Childminde

5 stars

Amina is a wonderful child-minder who has been looking after both my children for 3 years now.

It’s hard for parents to leave our children with complete strangers at first but Amina is professional, warm, welcoming and considers my children’s well-being at all times. She put in the extra effort to make me feel comfortable about leaving my children from since we started. We have a great partnership together, as we are always communicating throughout the children’s stay; to know how they are doing, or if there any problems, she makes time to keep me updated, which I think is really essential with any child minder.

Amina has been reliable and child minds throughout holiday and takes them on various recreational outings which they love. My children really enjoy going to Amina’s afterschool and always tell me that they have had lots of fun. She helps them with their homework and always finds creative educational activities to do with them as well which is a plus.

Even though Amina is relatively new considering other child-minders she keeps me updated on the extra training she attends and is always up to date with her courses and paperwork, which really shines on her credibility and reliability when looking for someone to leave your children with.

Overall I would definatly recommend Amina as a brilliant child-minder to anyone who is looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, professional, great with time keeping and flexible.

Great Supportive & Friendly childminder

5 stars

Amina looked after my baby from 7 months - 24 months full time, 5 days a week. She is a really great childminder, she is professional and kind and caring and committed to providing a home-from-home environment for the children she cares for.

Amina's communication is excellent, making sure I had daily updates about my baby's development which made weaning, then walking and now potty training an easier prospect!

I always found Amina to be responsive to suggestions about activities they could do together and really attentive to details about Romilly's health and well-being. Amina has also had to attend lots of extra training and has the support of the Tower Hamlets childminding network, which is a support for her but also reassuring more me as she is up to date with all her training and they advise her about legislation and changes to OFSTED that might effect her (and us!)
