Shaheen following the EYFS frame work doing observations ,learning journals for each individual child.
He was treated like one of the family and always enjoyed home cooked meals.
Shaheen would always guide my son's progression by identifying areas that he needed to improve on by giving tasks to take home to work on.
He's strengths were also regularly discussed and he was always praised by shaheen, building he's self esteem and confidence.
Would highly recommend 🌟

Shaheen is a very experienced childminder with BA (Hons) in early years. She implements the EYFS curriculum to help children develop in all areas of learning. She completes observations, progression development and learning journals to access at all times. Children can learn to count, learn the alphabet, nursery rhymes and stories. She works with parents to achieve their ultimate goal for their children. Children attend many activities like going to the library, playgroup, parks, nature walks. And several activities indoor and outdoor
She has outstanding discipline to help children with their manners. They also have home cooked food for lunch and a healthy snack during the day
Shaheen has been a wonderful aspiration and addition to our family network. She does remarkably well with our two children 2 and 3 for the past two years. They are always so happy to go and always in a happy mood when they leave. Our reason for leaving is to emigrate and she will be dearly missed. She is such a caring, hospitable and welcoming childminder we have been very fortunate and honoured to trust our children with her and for her to be involved in their upbringing. I have a good relationship with Shaheen and she is always happy to help even at short notice if required and is always adaptable to my flexibility. I always feel happy and confident to discuss my childrens care with her wealth of experience which is clearly evident.I always feel confident in leaving the children in her care to allow me to go to work. Highly recommended !!!

If you want a setting where the person will care for your child as though they are their own, look no further. Shaheen is very professional and experienced childminder. My just turned 4 year boy old went to her for 10 months after we weren't happy to his previous nursery. She helped to turn him in a well mannered and confident child. He is now very chatty and caring towards others, she does a lot of activities with the children in her home and takes them out on regular walks.
She has a background in teaching and schools so understands what is required for each child and the local school settings. She will work with you as a parent on goals for your child or things you are trying to achieve at home (potty training, putting on shoes independently, identifying colours or letters).
I would recommend her to friends and in future use again/ babysitting. She has been invaluable to my family and development of my little one.

Our daughter has been cared for by Shaheen for the last three years. Once she had settled in she has always been happy to go and enjoyed all the activities on offer. As parents we have felt confident that she is in good hands, and pleased that the setting feels so homely and what a young child needs, especially coming out of the pandemic. She has done many educational activities, her fine motor skills such as colouring for example are very well developed. When we have needed extra days or older siblings to be looked after Shaheen has been great at accommodating this.
My daughter is starting school and we therefore no longer require a childminder but are very sad to be finishing and highly recommend Shaheen to others.

Shaheen looked after my kids since April 2021 to yesterday!
My kids had great time in her home.
Always when they return from her home they were so happy, exicited and had good new stories to share with me.
Shaheen has been very flexible. Once one of my kids was unwell and she went to my home to picked other one up and dropped him off.
Shaheen’s house is very clean. She always offer heathy foods to kids. She had patience and always she had a beautiful smile on her face!
I really recommend Shaheen!

Shaheen has been looking after my son since March 2021, before he transitioned to nursery. I can honestly say, my son has enjoyed every second.
Shaheen was so welcoming and caring towards my son, which made him settle in very quickly and shortly after get excited to go to ‘Sha Shas’ and see his friends.
My sons language has come on well since he has started Shaheen’s. He can now count to 5 and will be able to tell you colours (& he’s not even 2).
Shaheen has been very flexible when I’ve asked her last minute to look after my son for an extra day due to work commitments, which has taken a massive pressure and weight off our shoulders.
I can not recommend Shaheen enough!
Thank you

Shaheen has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter. My daughter settled so quickly with her, and always got excited when I pulled up at her house.
Shaheen is so welcoming, she has a great variety of educational activities. She enjoys taking the children on daily walks and visits to the local parks.
Shaheen cooks beautiful homemade food at her home, and it's lovely that my daughter gets to try the foods that are offered to her. Shaheen also provides lots of healthy snacks, including a variety of fruit.
Shaheen has been so accommodating and allowed me to swop a few days of childcare around due to my work pattern, which has been so appreciated.
Shaheen is very good at communicating with myself and my husband, and keeps us well informed about my daughter's daily activities, along with some beautiful pictures she shares on WhatsApp, it's always so lovely to see the fun she had!
I would highly recommend Shaheen as a childminder, I have been very happy with her service, and it puts me at ease when I see how happy my daughter is with her.
We will miss you!

Shaheen was a childminder for my son from when he was 10 months old up to 3 years old. Shaheen is extremely professional and experienced and I would highly recommend her. Shaheen was loving and caring and always made me feel at ease with how she was with my son. Her home is clean and fully equipped and she encourages all types of learning inside the home and outside. Shaheen took my son to the library, park and playgroup regularly. Shaheen listened to our preferences and catered for my sons afternoon naps. Shaheen always communicated well and would often send me pictures and updates of my son. The best childminder anyone could ever ask for.
