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.

Fathema is a great Childminder and I would recommend her to anyone. She is very kind and caring and my son settled in with her right away. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. My son grew a lot during his time with Fathema. She takes the children to the park, unfortunately due to covid she couldn't take them to the child centre as usual but she always has fun activities planned and has a great play area for the children. My son really enjoyed his time with her and was sad to leave. We will miss Fathema.

As a person: Fathema is very friendly and approachable. The minute you see her she puts you at ease and you feel that yes, my child is safe in her hands. She is very active and probably a good fit for the job she has to do. She involves the kids in activities, song and dance which keeps them occupied. She takes the children to the play centre every now and then to keep them busy and happy.
The place: Extremely spick and span. Cleanliness is the key. Toys are well organised and the entire area is nicely maintained. I have never seen such a clean childminder in London.
Activities: As a parent you would panic the first few days you leave your kid around. To put you at ease, Fathema sends timely updates (photos and videos) of your child to show how well your child is coping. Also everyday she gives you a report on what your baby is learning and suggestions as to what you could do at home.
All in all she is a Godsend for us who had no option but to return to work and drop our son in safe hands.
Thanks Fathema. Keep up the great work. Ever in debt to your excellent service.

Fathema took care of my 2 years old son and he loved her place from the first visit.
She is fully qualified childminder and she was more than happy to provide all relevant certificates and references at our initial visit.
Her place was nice, clean and properly arranged to ensure safety of energetic toddlers. She allowed enough time for my son to settled in the new environment and professionally guided him in new settings. He was extremely excited before every day in her company and enjoyed the play time filled with age appropriate activities.
I was very much pleased with Fathema's communication skills as she provided full verbal report at the end of every day.
I would highly recommend this childminder if you would like your child to have fun time in a warm and family-like environment.
