My Summary
About Me
My name is Shamsa Ahmad and I am a registered childminder with The Care inspectorate. I currently live at home with my husband and three children, aged 19,18, and 14 who are also PVG certified. Over the last few years, I was fortunate enough to work as an assistant alongside a registered childminder, which strengthened my skills and experience. In 2019, I had the opportunity to start my own childminding service, providing a safe and homely environment for children of any age and background. My aim is to offer the best childcare service to parents in need of a trusted genuine person who believes that every child deserve the best life can offer them. I live in a pet and smoke free house. I am passionate to look after children and make sure they are feeling at home and ensure I am involved in childcare workshops and update my courses.
My Experience
I have four children who are all very well balanced lovely people whom I am very proud of. My recent experience is working as an assistant for the last three years, aswell as previously having experience as a teacher. I was very inspired while working here with all the different age groups of children. I learnt how to deal with the different needs and demands of every child that I was looking after and also have participated in courses to further gain knowledge for children of special needs. I have also carried out all necessary training to become a registered childminder.
My Qualifications
Elementary Foood Hygiene, Level 3 Childcare, Child Protection Training, Child Weight Management, Child Neglect Awareness & Protection, Paediatric Nursing and First Aid, Health and Safety and Recognising and supporting children with SEN.
My training will continue along side my service as I like to keep up to date with all new procedures.

Shamsa and her daughters have been the best thing that could’ve happened to us. It’s been a couple of months now since our daughter started going to their home, and she always comes back happy, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. She’s well looked after there and feels welcome and comfortable — just like at home.
Shamsa and her family are kind, honest, and truly lovely people. They really know how to care for our little one. On top of giving her a safe, family-style environment, they also do fun and helpful activities like playing outside, painting, and spending time with other kids.
We’re honestly so happy to have them.

My son Noah currently is getting looked after Ammarah 4 days a week. From the get she was very caring, friendly and passionate about looking after him. I felt very relaxed and safe leaving Noah knowing he would be in safe hands. 5 star service and very grateful we have met ammarah. Noah is kept clean and happy while he visits ammarah and enjoys being around her. She is very organised and takes Noah out swimming, to the park, play groups etc.

Shamsa looked after my 14 month old daughter (Kinaaz) and she was so kind and caring. My daughter loved Shamsa and really loved the family atmosphere.Shamsa is a lovely and very caring childminder and
flexible. This is my first experience with childminder and definitely will not be the last (with Shamsa). Thank you Shamsa for looking after Kinaaz and for you kindness.
With best wishes,

Ot is a good place to keep children safely while at work. Shamsa is looking after my daughter and she is really doing great with her. Very kind and has a good experience in dealing with children and their needs very carefully. My daughter loves her a lot. She enjoys her time playing with other children there.
I am also happy with the flexibility of hours Shamsa gives when needed.
Highly Recommended!❤

Shamsa was brilliant with my daughter! I knew my daughter would be in good hands the minute I met her as she is very patient, calm and reassuring. My daughter takes a very long time to get used to unfamiliar people but she warmed up to Shamsa straight away and didn't even cry when I left. Shamsa kept me informed throughout the day what my daughter was doing. I do not have enough words and praise to thank her for being so kind, caring and reassuring. To anyone like me who is really worried about leaving their child with a childminder, please do not hesitate to contact Shamsa. She is brilliant!
