Amanah Childcare

Excellent Childminder ❤️

I can’t praise Shamim enough for the incredible care she provided for my son. Initially, my son was quite shy and found it challenging to connect with others. However, from the very first day, Shamim had a natural way of engaging with him, and now he looks forward to his time there. It’s heartwarming to see him more confident in speaking and interacting with others.

She offers a wide range of activities that keep the children entertained, which has greatly contributed to my son’s development and happiness. The environment is always welcoming, safe, and filled with fun. I’m so grateful to have found Shamim and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

Best Childminder Ever!

Shamim is an amazing childminder. She looked after my two little daughters when the first one was 5 months and after one year my second daughter joined with her. She looked after them separately and together from a young age and sometimes they stayed longer during my study in the university as a PhD student and been able to accommodate our other kids for days during school holidays.

Both my daughters really enjoyed their time and came home with lots to talk about. Shamim planned a lot of indoor activities for them such as arts, crafts, painting, making cake, reading, and playing with water and sand in her garden also outdoor activities like playing at the park and going to the playgroup, and joined with other kids. She also took photos and videos for them during activities and shared them with me. Shamim has been so thoughtful in acknowledging special days like Birthdays and Mother's Day and also special occasions like Easter, New Year, Ramadan, and Eid.

The best things about Shamim she is very flexible in time, very careful, trustworthy, professional manner, and kind. She kept us up to date throughout what they were doing. She was excellent at timekeeping and managing the day including meals, snacks, and naps.

Now one of my daughters has now moved on to a school nursery and still wants to go to Shamim's house and she missed her too much, Shamim is still keeping in touch with her and sometimes she invites her during the weekend.

I literally cannot recommend Shamim enough, she is brilliant and I could not have dreamt of a better person to look after our daughters really she is a childcare dream!

Childminder with the baggiest heart in the world

My daughter had been with Shamim for more than three years, almost five days a week. Two of my friends recommended her, that was how I knew her. She is very responsible and trustworthy. Shamim is not only a childminder for my daughter, but she is like a family. All the words would not be enough to describe how good and caring she is.

To describe my experience with Shamim, away from my respectful feeling for her, Shamim is a trustworthy person. I know the biggest trust is that I trust her with my daughter, but I also trust her with other private information like my family’s private info or even my home address. When my daughter went to Shamim, she was always happy for being there. When my daughter saw Shamim every morning, she always run to hug her. This strong bond with Shamim made me feel very comfortable and happy because of the happiness that I saw in my daughter’s eyes. Now, after leaving Shamim, my daughter always remembers her. My daughter now is in a school, and she always asked to go to Shamim rather than the school. All these behaviours are signs of a loving relationship and show how kind and caring she was.


She is also an interactive and communicative person. When she took care of my daughter, she always sent pictures of my daughter during activities that they had done that day. She also talked to me about my daughter and addressing any issues related to my daughter, like her diet or sleeping issues. She carried out fun and exciting activities, including painting, playing with dough, cooking and reading. She also took my daughter regularly to the playground, playgroup, or Mother and toddler groups where my daughter had an opportunity to interact with other children and did different activities with them. She also took her for lots of walks and also to Jam Jam (indoor play place). All these activities were useful for my daughter’s development intellectually and socially.


Shamim is very flexible in scheduling. My daughter was arriving at the time that was suitable for me, and she did not show any inconvenient feelings. She was also willing to help out even late at night when I was busy and needed some help. She never complained or asked for a higher payment. She only asked for the hours that she took care of my daughter.

A good thing about Shamim is she is very clean, the place and also my daughter. During the activities, she dressed my daughter painting apron to keep her clean while having lots of messy play fun. I mention this here because I compare my experience with Shamim to the school that my daughter is attending now. In this school, my daughter’s clothes are always very dirty and full of painting spots. But when my daughter was with Shamim, she was always clean and her clothes without paint stains. I must give Shamim credit for that.


Now, my daughter is not with Shamim, but Shamim is still contacting me asking about her. She also visits me on different occasions to see my daughter and bring gifts, not only for my daughter, but also for her siblings. Very kind! She is perfect that I cannot recommend highly enough.

lovely service.

for a year or more than that, Shamim took care of my little daughter when she was 2+ years old, and sometimes she also takes care of my other daughter (5+ years old) if there is no school for her. We and the girls do love and respect Shamim and her lovely family for their kindness and care, I highly recommend them.

Fantastic Childminding Service

We are very pleased with the childminding service we receive. Shamim has been reassuring and is taking great care of our little boy from day one, making our experience of using a childminder positive and comfortable. Great communication at all times and very flexible to meet our own needs. We have a happy little boy who enjoys his time with Shamim and her family. Highly recommended.
