My Summary
Registered Childminder Of 15 Years
About Me
My name is Rizwana Aftab. I am an experienced childminder with over 15 years of expertise in caring for and nurturing children in a safe and stimulating environment. I live in a non-smoking 4-bedroom house with a large garden, providing plenty of space for both indoor and outdoor activities. I am passionate about contributing to the development of children and offer a wide range of engaging and educational activities to support learning, writing, and reading.
As part of my service, I take children to the park, library, and Sure Start centers to promote social interaction and physical activity. I also offer overnight care and have highly flexible timings, including availability during school holidays, to accommodate the needs of working parents. Fresh, hot meals are provided daily, but parents are welcome to provide their own food if they prefer.
I am fluent in Urdu, Punjabi, and German, which allows me to connect with children and families from diverse backgrounds. My home is a warm, welcoming space where children can feel secure, happy, and supported as they grow and learn. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or to discuss your childcare needs.
My Experience
I bring a wealth of experience to my role as a professional childminder.

Furthermore, I have 15 years of professional experience as a fully registered childminder, during which I have provided high-quality childcare to families from diverse backgrounds.
My expertise includes creating nurturing, stimulating, and safe environments where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

By combining personal experience with professional expertise, I am dedicated to fostering the development and happiness of every child under my care.
