Maryam

Outstanding!!!

My son Frankie attended Maryam's home childminding for a year when he was 2 years old, 4 days a week and occasionally now he does extra days during half terms.

I have been extremely happy with the care Frankie has received, and the great progress he made whilst in Maryam’s care. Maryam’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Frankie had great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this, it is Maryam’s warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders.

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know Frankie enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, to the library, trips to feed the ducks and she also arranged a trip to ruislip lido and all parents were also invited. He also done activities and made cards for different celebrations for example Christmas, Mother's day, Eid, Father's day, etc.

Frankie was very attached to me when he started at Maryam's home and found it difficult separating from me when i dropped him off but maryam worked with me to help him settle in and kept me upto date with how he was during the day and he settled in quickly and i felt at ease. Frankie wasn't very social either at the beginning but Maryam done activities to help him interact with others and give him confidence to be in a small group. He also has speech and language delay but Maryam has always helped and support him with this, which gives me reassurance that she is able to understand his wants and needs.

If Frankie wasn't feeling well or hurt if he himself I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her 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 his health and safety.

Although I provided Frankie's lunch each day Maryam still provided healthy snacks such as fruit and rice cakes if he was exceptionally hungry or keen to eat what the other children were eating. Maryam ensures good personal hygiene by encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.

At pick up time Maryam would tell me what Frankie has done each day for example what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities. This helps me to feel involved with his care and that I can talk to him about his day.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Frankie received and continues to receive. I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment has helped him develop into a confident and self assured little boy who is now thriving in his reception class.

I would absolutely recommend Maryam as a great and reliable childminder.

Thank you, Angela, for the lovely feedback, much appreciated and we love having Frankie💙

Absolutely amazing

I was really reluctant to leave my 7 months old baby at the childcare full time . My worries went away after the first day my son spent at Maryam's house !

She's treats him as if he was her own baby . She takes him places, makes sure he has variety of educational toys and tries new foods with him.

He's only been with her a month and I can tell he has developed so much ! I couldn't have wished for anyone better .

Thank you for the lovely feedback ☺️

Excellent

Maryam has been looking after my daughter for 3 years now. My daughter absolutely adores her and vice versa. She enjoys her time with Maryam and when she is there, I know she is safe. Maryam is a very kind and honest person. Since she's been looking after my daughter, my little one learned and progressed a lot and they always have fun. I could not recommend her highly enough! If you need someone, who is trustworthy, fun-loving and kind, Maryam is the one for you.

Great Babysitter

I have used Maryam on numerous occasions for babysitting my 3 children. They have become fond of Maryam and enjoy her company. It’s really reassuring to know when you have found a babysitter you can call easily when you need someone. She has a great nature and manner with the children which is lovely to see.

Thank you Amina! Happy to help anytime xx

Excellent and highly recommended!

From the first encounter, my daughter adored Maryam. I found her to be very engaging, caring, compassionate and patient with my daughter...and myself.
She was very dedicated to her work – from encouraging my daughter to eat healthy to ensuring she was safe at all times.
I loved how involved and creative she was. She even shared some fun and imaginative ideas for activities that I could use at home with my daughter.
I had the utmost confidence in her judgment and felt comfortable leaving my child in her care.

Thank you so much Maryam!
