My Summary
About Me
Hello, I am an Ofsted registered childminder for 16 years. Well located in Letchworth and graded Expected Standard at my last inspection the 03/03/2026.
I am a PACEY member with a Public Liability Insurance and a current First Aid certificate.
My setting is a home from home environment where children feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. My aim is to ensure that every child is ready for preschool, nursery, or school. At home we eat home cooked food from different cultures. My conservatory is the space dedicated to my mindees who have the opportunity to explore a wide range of toys, books, arts and crafts, etc. The conservatory gives access to a good-sized gated garden where children can play with a wide range of outdoor toys.A swimming pool is available for sunny days. Food and snacks are provided, but you can send your own ones if you prefer. The children have free access to the living room where they can rest or play in a more peaceful area.
A healthy diet is essential at home. We can guarantee you that your child has a tasty home cooked meal accompanied by a healthy pudding at every meal.
My setting is open from 8.00am to 4.30pm Mondays to Fridays.
No school picks ups/drop offs.
I am also very happy to announce to you that we have a lovely park that is walking distance from home and an allotment plot.
I also have 2 cats who are child friendly.
If you are looking for childcare, I would be delighted to meet you and your family.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Amal has given our son, Finley. From the very beginning at the young age of 9 months old, she has been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development and happiness. Finley settled in so quickly, and has progressed in every way since, which speaks volumes about the safe and nurturing environment Amal creates.
She keeps us updated, plans engaging activities, and clearly cares for the children as individuals. It’s such a relief knowing Finley is in such capable and caring hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Amal to any parent looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childminder.

Amal is an angel on earth for our family!
My youngest daughter has been going to her for 8 months now and the change in her confidence has been unbelievable! She always comes out with a big smile on her face and tells me about all the fun things they've been doing that day, including the yummy food. Alongside this, Amal always sends me pictures throughout the day which I love.
I've got to know a few of the other parents whilst doing pick ups and feel very much part of a big family.
Amal does ad-hoc sessions for my older daughter during school holidays and this really helps me continue with work while the kids are off school. She is also very accommodating when I need to do earlier or later drop offs that our usual times.
It's a home from home for my children and very grateful I have such a lovley childminder to be a part of our lives.
