My Summary

About Me
Hi. I am an Ofsted registered child minder. I have been working with children since 2007. I live in Commercial Road which is near Limehouse station . It is a 3 bedroom property and I have a big outdoor play area with my living room where children can play with different activities. Children will be encouraged to play outdoors with bike, trike, scooter, playing balls, water and messy play activities. My home is in commercial road which is very convenient and DLR and bus service is available: 15, 115, 135, D3. I provide child care from Monday to Friday , 8am- till 8 p.m. I am very hard working, flexible, friendly, passionate and a happy person who loves to work with young children. I really enjoy working with children and provide a wide range of activities where children will be encouraged to express themselves in a positive manner and challenged to maximise their potential. I respect children from different ethnic minorities. Children feel free and happily join in with the activities. After school, children are encouraged to do art work, helped to do homework and also visit our local park. Recently I had Ofsted inspection in October 2019.My overall setting is strong and good. Ofsted inspected me in new early years framework. I am able to give 15 hours free funding for 2 years old and 30 hours for 3 and 4 years old children. I regularly visit children centres in different places. The Around Poplar children centre, white horse and Mile End centres are close to my home. I regularly visit to the park, museum and Stepney farm. Children are also encouraged to take part in music and singing, messy play activities, physical play equipment.
I have also implemented COVID Sanitary areas within my setting to prevent spread of infection. Parents and children coming to and from my home will be expected to use this facility regularly. Toys and areas of play are cleaned down regularly with anti bacterial wipes to minimise the risk of infection.
I am married and have two children. My both children are over 18. My son studying pharmacist in UCL. My daughter did her graduation in medical science. In my spare time I enjoy to reading books, cooking . I do school pick up and drop ins to my local schools which are Cyril Jackson primary school, Sir William borough and Stepney green coat and Cayley primary school.
My Experience
I have had nearly 16 years of experience in working with children. Before I became a child minder I worked in a mainstream school. I had the opportunity to work with children with different learning abilities. I worked patiently with children who have language difficulties, who I spoke slowly and clearly to. I always make good eye contact with children . Currently I am doing child minding , looking after children of ages from 0 to 8 years. I do planning and observations and always treat the children individually. In my setting I always practice EYES Framework . I provide a safe, secure and stimulate environment. I build friendly relationships with children; consequently they feel free and happy. I always supports children to develop self independence, sharing, self confidence, feels good about themselves. I also share information with parents every day and work together to develop the child's area of learning. I always take the children in drop-ins, children centres and parks where children can play lots of different activities and mix with other children to develop physical movement, grow confidence and social skills. Learning health and safety around the world. Children can easily adjust to my daily care routine. I plan the activities according to children individual needs.

I have had fathema as a childminder for my 3year old since he was about 4month old. He is now starting nursery. Although he was able to start nursery a year ago( when he was 2), I decided to let him stay with fathema as her setting is more likely a nursery. She takes my child and his peers to two local children centres everyday until lunch time and provides them with everything necessary for the remaining half day at her house. I am a full time student and having her as my son’s sitter has taken away most of my stress. She cooks for him everyday and provides him with healthy snacks. She is very hygienic and makes sure the children are looked after well. She is also extremely flexible and understanding as most days I drop in or pick up late and she manages to come up with a solution instantly. Over the years I have also seen that she updates the layout/ structure and equipments in the house add to that different resources for the children like books play toys etc..
Since a year ago, she has also began to help me with pick ups and drop offs for my 6year old boy, who attends school nearby. We are still going strong! Fathema has been a big help and key support system in my life. Although I have moved to central London a few months ago, I am still letting my children attend her setting as I believe it is hard to find someone like fathema who is a very hardworking and patient woman , whom I can trust fully and whom my children adore!
P.s she also works summers’ with pre planned summer activities for children ( which she registers locally when she gets the chance)!

Thank you so much for your review.
Fathema is a caring lady, who makes my 18mo daughter feel very comfortable and engaged. My baby girl smiles just hearing Fathema's voice when we arrive in the morning and sometimes forgets to say bye to her mommy really eager to get started with Fathema. They always go places where the fun happens, do activities my girl wouldn't ordinarily be exposed to if she stayed at home. She is a very happy child and there was no day she wouldn't want to go back to Fathema. Thank you Fathema!

Fathema has been looking after our daughter Ada full time Mon-Fri for 2 years, since she was just turned 1.
She is a wonderful childminder and always makes an effort to take the children to different play centres and parks/farms in the local area on a daily basis.
Our daughter LOVES her - she even asks to go there at weekends! We will miss her very much and are so sad that due to moving out of the area we will no longer be able to take her there.
Fathema also looked after my other 2 children (5 & 7) by collecting them from school each day and they always had a great time.
She is a great childminder and I very much recommend!

I wanted to come back and leave Fathema a review although my son was under her care quite some time ago, we still miss her! My son was very happy at Fathemas, he even called her Mumma. She is very professional but also extremely loving & caring. You would be very lucky to have Fathema as your child carer. Nadine :)

Fathema took care of our daughter from 6 months until 1 year old, when we moved away. Fathema is a very warm and caring person and we felt completely comfortable leaving our baby with her. Our daughter settled easily and soon she was smiling and hugging Fathema when we dropped her off in the morning, which was a big relieve for us as it showed she was very happy there. Fathema's place really felt like a home from home for our daughter and that is exactly what we were looking for.
Everyday Fathema organizes nice activities for the children, either playing at her place (inside or on the big balcony) or she would take the children to the playground, children centre, city farm,... We would get pictures regularly, and our daughter was always smiling and looked very happy.
Our daughter was still doing 2 (quite long) naps, and Fathema always accommodated those needs and followed our little girl's rhythm, which is important to us.
At the end of each day, we had a chat about how our little girl was developing and the new skills she was learning, how she ate, slept and so on. We felt we could easily discuss any topic and Fathema was very open and responsive to our feedback.
In short, we are very happy we found Fathema and we will miss her very much. We would highly recommend Fathema to anyone looking for a loving childminder in a family setting.
