My Summary
About Me
Hello, I am an Ofsted registered childminder for 15 years. Well located in Letchworth and graded good at my last inspection.
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 5.30pm 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.
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.

I was really nervous seeking childcare for my 16month old son but when the time come Amal made everything stress free, always kept me up to date throughout the day and more importantly my son always comes out with a smile on his face :)
Thank you Amal you are amazing!

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.

Amal has looked after my daughter on a part time basis for the last year from the age of 10 months. Amal truly provides a home from home environment and my daughter has always been more than happy to walk in through the door in the morning without looking back! Amal takes the children to parks and playgroups regularly and their development is always the at the forefront of what they do during the day.
Her home is clean and her own children are very polite and well behaved, and they play with my daughter as if they were her brothers. It is a comfort to me knowing that my daughter is being cared for in such a loving, safe and child friendly environment. I would recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
