Seedlings Tale Sn

About Me

Hello, my name is Nawal and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I re-located to Northfields and started my first homebased Childminders, London, 7 years ago from Wiltshire, after marrying my husband. Prior to that I finished my studies in Gloucestershire, achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Studies (Level 6 qualification). I also have 16 years of experience with a combination of both studying and working in childcare. Childcare is my passion which is the path I have followed for both education and career.

I am now returning to Swindon to open this second setting with Poppy co-childminding with me, also an Ofsted Registered Childminder.

At Seedlings' Tale we truly believe children mirror those around them, therefore we know that a happy, loving and enthusiastic environment is essential for children to thrive and blossom.

We follow the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), this allows us to put an emphasis on outdoor play as children learn so much through being outdoors and exploring. Even with a simple activity such as a walk to the shops, we ensure your child will still be having fun whilst also learning at the same time! For example, doing a sound walk with the children, or talking about any objects they see on the way to the shops that are square shapes. Any chance is an opportunity for your child to learn through their play and have fun.

I am a happy and energetic person and I deliver a high standard of care. This is also extended to our staff as we ensure they have the 3 'Es'; Education, Experience and Energy. Your child’s well-being is our top priority and we ensure your child is coming to a comfortable and happy setting. Our aim is to deliver a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children, allowing them to develop, progress and thrive as they grow.

We prefer a smaller setting in comparison to a nursery, as we feel this allows us to spend more time with each child, which is vital to your child’s development. The ground floor of our house is entirely dedicated to childminding. We have a large living room which is a dedicated nursery room for toddlers and above, providing an extremely safe, fun and children centred area for them to enjoy. This contains a home corner, dress up corner, soft play, reading and many other resources and activities for your children to enjoy. Additionally, we have a separate baby room, which includes a play den and other resources, so that we have an extra safe place for our youngest to thrive in. We have a separate area for meals and nappy changing. We are currently in the process of creating a sensory room. The conservatory is our arts and crafts space, with tuff trays, easels and other resources to let their artistic sides out. Finally, we have a very large garden, for children to run and explore. We are in the process of bringing a jungle gym as well!

We offer a range of activities from arts and crafts, physical exercise (large garden with activities ranging from ball to water and sand play), construction, small world, quiet reading and a mixture of adult and child led activities. We also believe following the children's lead in their play and extending on this is important as this boosts their self-confidence and emotional well-being.
