I accept Tax free childcare and funded hours (15 hours and 30 hours)
I worked at Montessori nursey for three years, I am a very educated, professional, and hard-working person.
I provide a welcoming, safe, cozy, loving, caring, and learning environment that promotes the well-being and learning developments of every child. It is a home away from home.
I believe that every child is unique that is why my setting is fully equipped to suit the needs of every child according to their age and their level of learning and development.
I have big setting with spacious playrooms which are organised according to the EYFS 7 areas of development and learning which are physical, emotional, social, and personal, communication and language, expressive art and design, understanding the world, and mathematics..
And a big garden with different and various resources and activities suitable and safe for all ages.
I plan, provide, and take part in play-based indoor and outdoor activities that stimulate and support children’s intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and language development.
I take children to the children's centers, children's clubs, libraries, parks, farms, museums, zoos, playgrounds, soft play.
I observe children's progress and make observations and then I assess their levels of learning and development according to EYFS learning goals, I do the next steps for each child.

We use Baby’s day app to keep parents updated at the end of each day which summarizes activities they have enjoyed, menu information as well as sleep times, and personal care.

I listen to, encourage, enable, stimulate, and ensure the safekeeping of the children.

AS A BONUS:
I provide FREE two hours FRENCH lessons a week for the children in my setting as Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Children proficient in other languages also show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility. Do not hesitate to contact me

Hi Ray ,
You contacted me on Sunday 11th of May,
I responded to your messages that day (11th of May ), although It was weekend and i don’t work during weekends.
I even responded back to your messages late to night when you texted me late night.
I told you that I will get back with an answer on Monday as I am outside work and I have to check my availability.
On Monday 12th May I ended up at hospital as I was very sick.
Today ( Tuesday 13th May ) I replied to your message on WhatsApp and I tried to call you to arrange a viewing if possible or to help you contact other childminders who may have availability. However I didn’t get any response from you.
If you still need any help please feel free to contact me .
Thank you for your understanding!
Best regards,
Rahma
Rahma is incredible and has such a great setting. Our children love her and have completely thrived in the years they have been with her, we could not imagine ever sending them anywhere else. We recommend Rahma very highly

She is simply amazing !!
She goes above and beyond in her job, ensuring not only the safety and well-being of my baby but also fostering an environment where he thrives. Her Setting is very clean, organised and full of very interesting activities to stimulate differents areas of learnings.
What sets Rahma apart is her genuine kindness and dedication.
My baby's happiness is evident every time I drop him off and pick him up - he absolutely adores going to Rahma's place!
Moreover, Rahma is incredibly helpful, always ready to offer support and guidance whenever needed. As a new parent, her advice has been invaluable to me, and I'm truly grateful for her expertise.
I feel so fortunate to have her in our lives. Thank you sooo much Rahma :)

Rahma has had our daughter since she was 10 months old and she is now 2.5 years. We couldn't have wished for a better childminder. Rahma is kind, thoughtful and passionate about her job. Our daughter loves Rahma and has grown in so much confidence. Rahma spends so much time organising and planning brilliant activities including Montessori tasks. They spend as much time outside as possible when it is good weather! She is so accommodating. We have been so blessed by Rahma and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Rahma has been amazing with our little one. She is really accommodating and saves us when we messed up the days. You can definitely feel confident leaving your little one with her she will take extra good care. Our baby is always super happy when he arrived there.

Honestly, cannot recommend enough! Her setting is great, with lots of activities and books to keep babies entertained and positively encouraging brain stimulation. Her meals are yummy and nutritious (bubba is 9 months old and always finishes everything 😳). I work odd shifts and Rahma went above and beyond to accomodate my requirements (including when I messed up the days 🥹). She even takes the time to send us the most amazing smiley pictures of our baby boy ❤️. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rahma took on our little boy when he was only a year old. When we met her, we instantly felt she was right for us, as she has such a warm and reassuring persona. Everyday our son would look forward to going to Rahmas and he made lots of friends there. Rahma provides a caring and stimulating environment with lots of varied activities including music time, parks, and crafts and we always felt that our little one was happy and cared for. Rahma has a lovely home and family, and I would happily recommend her to anyone.

Rahma, has been a blessing. I was so afraid after the finishing of maternity to leave my baby anywhere but luckly Rahma understood my feelings and handled everything amazing. She is very attentive, very proffessional, her house is an amazing place for the children, my baby enjoys every time to go back to her. She is making amazing food for the babies and so interesting activities for them, they love it so much there.Very clean and organised setting, with beautiful playroom and garder for the children to enjoy every second at her. She is loving her job and you can see that from far away, the love and care that she is transmitting to the babies is endless. I would recommend her to anyone that I know that want his baby in the best hands in Croydon. 10 out of 10 She is a real star. 🌟❤️

Rahma's setting is amazing.
My child had a separation anxiety, just in 1 week he settled in quickly thanks to her knowledge and professionalism.
We are so glad and to know Rahma.
She is very educated caring, and loving person.
Rahma has a very high standard setting.
At the end of every day she sends me pictures of the daily activities and routine.
I am very satisfied and happy with her hard work.
She provides healthy food for the children.
