About Me
My name is Aliesha I am 47 years old and I am a Ofsted registered childminder. I live in the Leagrave area of Luton. I live with my Husband Gary who is 50 years old and we have been together for over 20 years. We have two children together aged 18and 15. I have previously done childminding in 2009-2014 but stopped to Spend quality time with my own children. I re-registered in 2016. We have been in our home for nearly 7 years and we have loved every minute of living here. We are lucky to live in a street with lovely people, where there is a strong community spirit. We have recently built a large cabin in the rear of our back garden which is used as a playroom, there are lots of indoor/outdoor toys, books, jigsaws, games, I do lots of arts and crafts with the children and different activities. I also have an annual zoo pass which I love to visit and take the children. On a nice day we have picnics in the park and if the weather isn't so good we go indoor play.
My Experience
Over the years I have had lots of experience of working with children of all ages. I worked at Halyard High School for 5 years as a learning/behaviour support assistant. I loved this job and found it very rewarding, I left this job to raise my children and became a childminder to fit in around family life. I have a passion and enthusiasm and love working with children, everyday is different and it gives me pleasure to teach children new things. I find it very rewarding to watch children's development and to teach them the social skills they need to start school. Since last May 2016 I have been subcontracted and work with another childminder Louise who is also a registered childminder.

We were incredibly lucky to have Aliesha as our daughter’s childminder from the time she was just 9 months old until she started school. From the very beginning, Aliesha created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that allowed our daughter to grow, learn, and thrive.
She always went above and beyond—whether it was engaging activities, outdoor play, or helping with important milestones. Aliesha provided the perfect balance of care, structure, and fun. It gave us great peace of mind every day knowing our daughter was in such capable and kind hands.
We’re so grateful for the strong foundation Aliesha helped lay in our daughter’s early years. She didn’t just care for her—she helped raise her, and we’ll always appreciate the love, attention, and support she gave to our family.

My daughter has been going to Aliesha since she was 9 months and has loved going since day one. Aliesha is very welcoming and makes you feel so comfortable leaving your children with her. My daughter gets excited every morning when I tell her she is going Aliesha which makes the whole experience of leaving them better. They do amazing days out like the zoo, play groups and the library, arts and crafts and the playroom and garden are full of fun activities. The friendships between the children are also lovely. Going to Aliesha has helped my daughter be confident and also her language skills. We liked Aliesha so much that my son now also goes and has been going since 9 months. Knowing how good my daughter experience was I felt very relaxed about returning to work and knew how much fun he would have and how great going is for his development. He cried at first however soon become comfortable with Aliesha and now loves going as much as his sister. I went to Aliesha as I was recommended her and it was the best decision.

My son started with Aliesha when he turned 1, he's now 3. She has been the best childminder I could have wished for him, she's very caring and welcoming. When he first started he was upset leaving me, she made sure he settled in ok and kept me updated and reassured with updates and photos so I knew he was ok after I had left. He absolutely loves going now and surprises us every day with how much he learns from being there. Aliesha also takes the children out lots on day trips which is lovely. My daughter is also going now, she is 1 and has settled in very quickly. We have moved house out of the area but still keep the kids coming here because they really do love coming to Alieshas.

My daughter has just finished with Aliesha because she is off to school in Sept. She has been with her since she was 1 years old.
I have had an excellent experience with Aliesha and my daughter has grown a great bond with her.
Aliesha is extremely welcoming, friendly and has a lovely bubbly personality which rubs of on the kids, as she has so much fun with them.
One thing I loved about Aliesha is she loves to get the little ones out exploring and learning and goes above and beyond.
Definitely recommend her to anyone!

My son started with her at age 2. She is nice and friendly person. My son left her settings this year and will start primary school. My son is still missing her and want to go again and meet her. Allisha is very loving, caring and friendly person. She cares the children like her own child. She is the best.
Good luck Allisha for your future and keep it up.

Aliesha looked after my son Alex for over a year. Unfortunately due to realocation we had to leave her. I can't recommend her enough, she is like mother for all these kids, know how to organise their time, cares about them and does what's best for them. Alex was always very happy, I could trust her as I knew Alex is in very good hands.
Can't thank you enough Aliesha. 🥰🥰🥰

Aliesha looked after my two year old son for 7 months. I am so grateful to have found Aliesha, she is an amazing childminder
Level of communication is perfect and she keeps you up to date with everything, my son absolutely loved going there. It was my first time leaving my son within the care of someone outside of the family, she made me feel at ease and I loved to see that her household also treated my son like family
Aliesha is very accommodating and tries her hardest to work around times that suit you/your work pattern, I couldn’t thank her enough for everything she has done
Would highly recommend. Such an amazing lady

My 2 year old son has been with Aliesha for almost a year and I’m so sad to have to say goodbye (only because I’m expecting another baby)
My son has so much fun and looks forward to going to hers everyday. He has developed very well and learnt many new social and intellectual skills which is down to him being in Aleisha’s care. I just love picking him up and hearing the new things he’s learnt.
She does different activities with the children and takes them out regularly which they all really enjoy.
Aliesha has a lovely family of her own who were amazing with my son, and they welcomed him in to their home along with the other children she cares for.
Aleisha even took the time to put together a learning journey folder which included photos of what he’s been up to and the progress he has made which I was able to view after each term.
She has been very accommodating and I can’t thank her enough for all her hard work. She is a genuine person and a true credit to the profession... I just hope she has space next year when I’m off maternity leave!
I highly recommend her!!

Aleisha has looked after my little boy for over a year now and I have not had a bad word to say. My Son loves going to hers everyday to see his friends and do all the lovely activities she puts on. His speech and overall confidence has definitely grown and he's always coming home with things he has made or drawn and new words! Aleisha is friendly, very easy to talk to and flexible if I need to work a little late and I feel very comfortable leaving my boy with her. I often get asked why I haven't put my 3 year old into a nursery and I always say that there is more one to one care with Aleisha and Kamil is never bored or sat in the house more than a few days as they are always at soft play, play groups, the zoo or another fun place. Aleisha sends me pictures daily with what they have been up to and meals and snacks are healthy and varied. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a child minder and so would my little one! :)
