Where Little Hearts Feel Safe And Loved Every Day.
About Me
Hello, my name is Umera.
I'm an Ofsted-registered Good childminder based in Tilbury, offering a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children are supported to grow, learn, and feel truly loved.
With over 12 years of experience, I’m passionate about creating a home-from-home setting where little ones feel secure, valued, and happy every day. My home is thoughtfully set up with children in mind — the ground floor includes three dedicated, child-friendly areas: a dining room, a cosy living room, and a spacious playroom with comfortable beds for rest and naps. I also have a safe, child-friendly garden for outdoor fun and exploration.
My setting is conveniently located close to the local park, children’s centre, and library, which we regularly visit to support children's learning and development in fun, engaging ways.
I welcome both 15 and 30-hour funded places and am always happy to support families in caring for their precious little ones with love, patience, and understanding.

With consistently positive feedback from both parents and children, I take pride in offering a nurturing space where every child feels valued, happy, and at home.

My Availability
I am open five days a week and happily accommodate both 15 and 30-hour funded childcare places.
The ground floor of my home is thoughtfully divided into three child-friendly areas: a dining space, a cosy living and rest area, and a dedicated playroom — all with comfortable underfloor heating to keep little ones warm year-round.
Children also have access to a large, secure garden through the conservatory. The outdoor space is well-equipped with a mud kitchen, sandpit, swing, bikes, trikes, and a wide range of toys for active and creative play. We regularly enjoy floor art, chalk drawing, painting, water play, sand activities, ball games, and cycling — encouraging exploration, creativity, and physical development.
My goal is to keep children happy, engaged, and learning through fun and stimulating experiences. I’m always happy to work with parents to find childcare solutions that support both their needs and the wellbeing of their little ones.

Exceptional childminder! My son was with Umerah for around 15 months, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support she provided. From the very beginning, she created a warm, nurturing environment where he felt safe, happy, and engaged. During his time with her, he developed so many important early skills—he learned to recognise letters and numbers, write his own name, and became confident in doing things independently, like eating on his own and putting on his coat and shoes.
Umerah is incredibly patient and attentive, and she always kept me updated on my son’s progress and daily activities, which I really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about his wellbeing and development.
I wholeheartedly recommend Umerah to any parent looking for a dedicated, caring, and experienced childminder. The positive impact she’s had on my son is something I’ll always be grateful for.

Umera is such a kind hearted woman who i can trust my children with 100%. She is so organised, very clean, and cares about the development of the children under her care.
When i come back to pick up my children i can tell they are happy and i can see what they have done during their stay in fact some times they dont even want to leave her place because they have been enjoying too much.
And when we get home they are so exhausted that they just fall asleep because they were so busy playing and discovering new things at Umera`s place
S he has set up her home for children to enjoy. As soon as you get inside her gate you really want your child to e part of her life.
I mean fish pond,large garden,heated floors,slides,tents,swings,sleep area,educational toys, name it she`s got it
Any way in a nut shell i was happy with her services.
UMERA THANK YOU X.
