My Summary
About Me
My name is Sabina and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I have recently had my third OFSTED inspection in September 2022 where I was graded with “GOOD".
I have children of my own, My son is 27 years old and a Doctor & my daughter who is 25 years old who graduated with a first class Law Degree from University of Birmingham.
I live in the Birmingham area and I am home based. My home environment is safe, fun and very friendly.
I have a great deal of experience in working with children to enable them to reach their best qualities in life at a very early stage.
My services are very flexible. I am a very approachable person and take into account parent's needs and requirements.
I offer services that are beneficial to both the parents and the children ensuring that all their needs are met.
My Experience
I have previously worked on a voluntary basis at the local schools as a teaching assistant whereby I worked very closely with children to promote independence and help them to gain confidence. My beliefs are that any parent who bring up/care for children whether it be their own or others, have amazing experience and one which is unaccountable for.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sabina Begum. My son has been in her care for a few months now, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Sabina is a truly lovely lady—gentle, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive to every child’s needs.
My son absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her and spend time there. He comes home happy and full of stories about his day, which shows how much he enjoys being with her. Sabina creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel happy and cared for.
I would recommend Sabina from the bottom of my heart to any parent looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

Beena is the best. She has been absolutely wonderful with my son — truly the best! Under her care, I’ve seen such a massive, positive change in him. He has grown so much, not only in confidence but also in discipline and good behavior. She provides such a nurturing, safe, and loving environment, while at the same time encouraging structure, learning, and respect.
It’s rare to find someone who is both caring and firm in the right balance, and I’m so grateful my son had the chance to be guided by her. The progress he’s made in her care has been remarkable, and I couldn’t be happier with the impact she has had on him.
If you’re looking for someone who will care for your child as if they were her own and help them flourish, I wholeheartedly recommend Beena. She is truly exceptional.

My eldest daughter (4 years old) has been going to Beena for more than 2 years now. Absolutely loving it! For her its genuinely a second home.
I have now sent part time my 5 month old baby boy to Beena as well. Settling in took two weeks, he adores it. He gets attention, care and entertainment alongside his sister. He sleeps at Beena's far better than at home 😅
If anyone is concerned starting a small baby at the nursery - just go to Beena. You will be at ease. Always warm, welcoming, attentive, clean and caring 🧡
