About Me

I am a full-time registered childminder of Bangladeshi origin. I have lived in my area for the past 15 years, so I am very familiar with the local area. I live with my husband and 3 children, aged 22, 18 (all are DBS checked) and 12 years old. We live in a semi-detached house with quite a large garden.

I really enjoy looking after children, which I realised as a teenager looking after my young nieces and nephews.

I enjoy gardening and cooking different cuisines in my free time. I am fluent in 5 languages (English, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi) and I am currently learning Arabic.

My Experience

I started childminding in 2001 so I have 15 years' experience and previously worked in nurseries and preschools since 1996.

I usually take children from 3 months of age until about 12/13 years old. I am happy to take younger children for full-time or part-time childcare. I offer 16 hours free childcare per week for 3-5 year olds.

I am able to drive, so I can do school runs in my local area.

With the children I mind, I like to keep them busy with arts and crafts, baking, activities and playing games. Sometimes I organise seasonal activities e.g. Easter egg hunt, Christmas party. I also keep plenty of toys and books for children to play with and read. We visit the playgroup and library regularly and local parks, sometimes I take them for a day trip.

Good
17 July 2025
Children benefit from strong bonds and a well-planned curriculum in this 'Good'-rated childcare setting. The provider fosters an inclusive environment, emphasising healthy eating and communication development. Engaging activities spark children's interests, helping them make good progress. The setting excels in creating a nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure and confident. However, there is room for improvement in resource management, as too many available resources can impact children's ability to concentrate on chosen activities.
