My Summary
Welcome To Your Child’s Home Away From Home
About Me
I am proud to offer a spacious, nurturing home nursery where your child’s development, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. As a dedicated and experienced childminder, I have created a thoughtfully designed environment with carefully chosen resources to support your child’s learning, growth, and creativity, all within a warm and homely atmosphere.
Flexible Care Options: Open during term time with the possibility of accommodating care during school holidays, depending on your requirements.
EYFS Approach for Under 5s: I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to provide structured, age-appropriate learning experiences that nurture the whole child—building confidence, independence, and essential skills for their future.
Engaging Outdoor Space: Children will enjoy a secure back garden featuring a designated planting area, encouraging hands-on learning and connection with nature.
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Barton Hills area, conveniently located near Bramingham Park Sainsbury’s.
Parent and Child-Centered Approach:
I recognize how difficult it can be to entrust your child’s care to someone else. That’s why I prioritize building strong relationships with families, offering ongoing reassurance and communication to ensure a seamless and supportive experience for both you and your child.
Arrange a Visit: I warmly invite you to visit my nursery for a no-obligation tour. This is an excellent opportunity to meet me, explore the setting, and discuss how I can support your family’s needs.
I look forward to welcoming you and your child!

What an amazing childminder
We have had such a lovely time with her, she cared for my baby when he was 7 months and we became so close to her family, she treated baby as her own which put me at ease,
After setting in my baby would immediately jump to her while drop off, and she would celebrate our baby's birthdays and big achievement as her own,
We have a baby on the way and we are so excited to start this all over again 🥰

thank you for your lovely feedback Alan,
I can't wait to see the little one and it will be my absolute pleasure to take care of them Xx
Shalma is a great childminder, she is warm and welcoming, she did babysitting for our 3 kids under 5, she has always been super responsive,
She is a great mother hence she understands the parent's feelings, she takes extra care with making parents comfortable,
We are expecting our 4th baby soon and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our baby with shalma even though we will be traveling 3 miles to get to her!
Thanks for being there!
