My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder with an experience of 15 years and more working with children of different ages. I first completed my level 3 degree in Childcare and development from Stockport College and then worked in a nursery for nearly 2 years and then decided to start my own childminding business. I am very well aware of children's needs in all aspects of development (personal, social, emotional, physical and also communication). I am always planning my day considering children's needs and we cover both going out to socialize in a bigger circle (playgroups, parks, trips and other community activities) as well as stay at home chilling in the afternoon (naps, crafts, baking, story time and exploring with planned resources). I have always been getting lots of admiration from parents of children about my services and children always feeling happy about coming to my place.
Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for a happy and busy place for your child to have in the first few years of their lives.

I sent my daughter to Afshan for five months before going on maternity leave with my second child, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My daughter was only 13 months old when she first met Afshan, and from day one, Afshan made her feel so welcome, comfortable, and loved.
In no time, I saw my little girl blossom into a confident, happy, and sociable toddler. Afshan kept me updated every single day, sending thoughtful messages, pictures, and videos that always put my mind at ease while I was at work. She went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s allergies, ensuring she was always safe and well cared for.
Afshan took the children out to playgroups or the park every day, giving them the chance to socialise and explore new environments. She also engaged them in a variety of fun and educational activities such as sensory play, arts and crafts, and other creative tasks that really helped develop my daughter’s fine motor and social skills.
Afshan was incredibly flexible and understanding whenever I needed to adjust pick-up or drop-off times. She even provided her own healthy snacks and fruits when the children were hungry — a small but thoughtful gesture that showed how attentive and caring she is.
Afshan is truly a wonderful childminder — nurturing, reliable, and passionate about what she does. I would have happily sent both of my children to her if we hadn’t moved so far away. I’m so grateful for everything she did for our family and wish her all the very best.
