My Summary
About Me
I have worked as a Health Care Assistant at North Middlesex University Hospital for many years. After becoming a mother I continued my passion for caring and became a fully qualified Ofsted Registered childminder in the year 2009.
I am understanding, compassionate, organised and honest. I live in a four bedroom house with a large indoor area and a great outdoor space. I have a considerable amount of experience with child development. I have invested in a vast amount of toys and educational resources, which’s use to meet every childs’ needs and interests at my setting.
My Experience
Established since 2009, I have many years of experience caring for children of different ages and stages of development, supporting them to become confident, happy, and independent learners.
I provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating home-from-home environment where children can learn, play, and thrive.
Children enjoy a variety of exciting experiences, including visits to Willow Farm, local parks, libraries, church groups, soft play centres, and community outings. These experiences help children build confidence, independence, social skills, and a love of learning.
I work closely with parents to support each child’s individual needs and development, planning activities that reflect their interests and abilities.
Children are provided with healthy, balanced meals, snacks, and drinks throughout the day.
I am fully trained in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and Child Protection, Food Hygiene, and regularly update my professional training to ensure the highest standards of care.
I work alongside two experienced assistants who share my passion for providing quality childcare in a warm, caring, and inclusive environment.
Services include:
* Full-day childcare
* After-school pick-up service
* Daily outdoor play
* Educational outings and community visits
* Healthy meals and snacks
* Individual learning and development support
My aim is to help every child feel happy, safe, valued, and confident while reaching their full potential through play and exploration.
Why Choose Us?
We offer the best of both worlds – a warm, home-from-home environment combined with the benefits of a dedicated childcare team. Working alongside two assistants allows us to provide children with plenty of opportunities to socialise, build friendships, and take part in a wide range of activities, while still receiving the individual attention and care they deserve.

I am extremely satisfied with this person, my child is extremely well cared for and learns new things every day. The accommodation was extremely easy, and now he is very happy every morning when he has to go to Mrs. Waheeda. She is extremely involved and organizes outings with children in various locations. My friend had her children for 3 years, recommending her with great pleasure.

Hello Waheeda,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional childminding services you provide. When my previous childminder retired, I found myself in search of a new one and turned to the internet to find someone in my local area. Fortunately, I came across your profile, and I was immediately impressed with how quickly and thoroughly you responded to all my questions.
When I visited your setting with my children, we were greeted with such a warm and welcoming environment that it felt like a home away from home. My children were so comfortable that they didn't want to leave, which put my mind at ease about the transition. It's clear that you have created a nurturing and enjoyable space for the children.
I am truly happy and relieved to have found someone I can trust to look after my children. They absolutely love being at your place, and I appreciate your dedication and care.
Thank you once again for your excellent service.
Best regards,
Natasha

Thank you can you believe the girls are off the school soon.
My daughter has been going to Waheeda's since the start of the school year and she absolutely loves it! She is always coming home with funny stories and is excited to go back the next day. Waheeda is the first childcare service I have used without knowing the individually personally, but as soon as I met her and her assistants I instantly felt at ease. Waheeda will go above and beyond for the children in her care and I cannot thank her enough.
Thank you Waheeda!

Thank you it is my pleasure to service you and my staff are incredible too. Thank you.
My son throws so much tantrums at home I didn’t want him going anywhere, but once Waheeda sprinkled her touch of magic on him, he’s having less tantrums, he listens, he has a perfect set routine, which is what you want. He loves foods and he is never short of food. He’s happy to go and see his friends and enjoys every moment!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for trusting me to look after your little one he is absolutely brilliant and bursting with energy.
I start by bringing a lot of thanks to Waheeda and her staff. My baby who took her to Waheeda at just 8 months old had an extraordinary evolution. There she learned her first steps, and the activities she does with her can be seen in her development. .My baby does not miss me.Waheeda is like a warm and loving mother.I have nothing but words of praise.I recommend her every time.I am very happy with her.❤️🤗

Amicable environment, my daughter is pleased to be there. Every time we are going to pick her up, she is crying. She doesn't want to leave the place.She always has so much fun.
Waheeda has so much experience and trying to do a lot for the children.She is observing them and consider their development.
I am delighted we found Waheeda.I trust her, and I know my little girl is in a safe place.
I would recommend Waheeda as an outstanding and trusty childminder!

Waheeda is a brilliant childcare professional, she is caring and diligent. I was soo anxious as a first time mum to leave my daughter with someone else however Waheeda put my mind at ease when she showed me all her up to date policies and qualifications alongside her excellent resources for the children. My daughter thrived under Waheeda who has supported her development tremendously from the age of 9months.
When I had my son just under two years later I was soo happy that there was a place for my son who I knew would and has thrived under her care.
My children are in a safe and clean caring home environment experiencing all the developmental support they would receive at a nursery. Waheeda takes the time to get to know my children and gives them personalised care. My son has severe eczema and Waheeda has cared for him just as I would accommodating his needs.
