About Me

I am a professional and experienced early childcare practitioner who implements a variety of early years approaches to education. Throughout my long-term practice in the education field, I established huge range of resources to create a diverse creative curriculum. This will help me to provide a safe and stimulating environment in which children can play, learn and develop new skills. Through my setting, I support children and their families through changes, transitions and individual needs. In my setting all the meals are prepared freshly on the day, based on dietary needs.

My uniqueness within my setting is my reading corner which includes a huge and diverse range of story books that children immerse into and dive into the narratives. My main intention is to help students to develop a love for reading, become independent readers and explore their hidden reading skills. I myself enjoy the reading time the most to narrate stories to children, change the tone of my voice, slip into the different characters, raise schildren ’s curiosity.

A tiney home with easy transport links, access to a lovely local park, modernised library with breakfast club, and school pick ups service.

In my setting, I incorporate music, art and craft activities to encourage the development of children’s creativity and imagination.

My Experience

I completed my Bachelor at the University of Kabul in Teaching and worked as a High School teacher for many years.

After moving to Germany, I was working as a tutor, and part time Babysitter for 10 years.

Since coming to the UK, I have completed my level three Diploma as a Teaching assistant and worked in that field for two Years.
In 2015 I received my Diploma as an early years practitioner and have been working as a Childcarer since then.

Now, after being qualified as a Childminder, I am opening my own home nursery, registered with Tiney, an Ofsted-registered Childminding agency.

I am looking forward to do this for many more years.

Outstanding care!

5 stars

Sohalia has been an incredible child minder for our daughter Mia over the past two years. From the very beginning, she provided a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where Mia felt completely at ease. The thought, care, and attention Sohalia has given to Mia’s development have been outstanding.

The range of activities she offers is varied, engaging, and perfectly suited to Mia’s age and interests, helping her grow in confidence, creativity, and social skills. Mia has always looked forward to her days with Sohalia, which is a true testament to the positive, stimulating environment she provides.

We’ve also been very impressed with the variety and balance of the meals and snacks offered—Sohalia has always been mindful of providing nutritious, enjoyable food that Mia genuinely loved.

It’s been such a joy to see how much Mia has grown and developed during her time with Sohalia, and we are truly grateful for the care and dedication she has shown. I would highly recommend Sohalia to any parent looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring child minder.

Nurturing, experienced and professional

5 stars

When I bring my little 18-month-old daughter to Sohaila’s she starts bouncing in her pushchair, excitedly pointing and exclaiming as we make our way to Sohaila’s front door. She’s always happy to see Sohaila, and I know that I’m leaving her in excellent hands. Sohaila is genuinely warm and enthusiastic, always happy to see Talitha, and very professional.

Talitha clearly feels comfortable and plays happily with the other children in Sohaila’s care. They play inside and outside where there are toys and planted vegetables for them to water, and sometimes make little trips to the park and the library.

Sohaila provides tasty and healthy cooked meals for the children as part of the cost! And when I pick up my daughter, Sohaila gives me a run through of her day - her meals and snacks, her nap times, even her nappy changes. She also sends me pictures of Talitha during the day, and updates her progress over the weeks on the Tiney childcare app.

I highly recommend Sohaila. She is warm, nurturing, experienced and professional :)

Thank you very much Susannah for your deep and detailed review. It is very well appreciated. It is a pleasure to support Talitha in her early years of personal, social, emotional and physical development and looking forward being further involved in her future developments.

Positive, happy environment

5 stars

Sohaila's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my child has fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Sohaila ’s warmth and tailored approach which sets her apart. Her reading corner is established thoughtfully with great reading resources.

Sohaila provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercises. As she has a backyard with organically planted vegetables. In October my child picked a sunflower from her backyard which was an unforgettable experience. At her front terrace, my child has recently enjoyed sand and water play. Whereas indoors my child enjoys drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles. Our little one enjoyed being taken on outings to the park trips to feed the ducks and walk in the woods.

Sohaila is a great communicator and encourages good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, which are essential life skills. When my child crosses outside her boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms that she grasps. When she is hurt, I am assured that she feels happy to be comforted by Sohaila and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure her health and safety.

She provides healthy food and snacks throughout my child’s nursery time. This can be seen in the way she completes a diary detailing what my child has done each day. From this, I have a complete picture of her whole day including what she has eaten, how long she has slept and all his fun and educational activities. This helps me to feel involved with her personal and educational development.

I am thoroughly content with the level of care my child obtains and I am sure that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping her to develop into a confident and self-assured little adult.

Thank you very much for your appreciation.

5 stars

Sohaila is absolutely wonderful. She’s very understanding and ensures that my child is in a calming, safe environment. My son has special needs and she is very patient with him. He always comes home happy from hers and she ensures he is always well fed. Her home is cosy and clean. I would definitely recommend her. I drive 40 mins away to get to her and I wouldn’t chose another childminder closer because she’s so genuine it’s worth it.
