My Summary
About Me
My name is Meriem and I am an OFSTED registered childminder and a member of childcare.co.uk association.
I live in Hoddesdon near Rye House train station, the town centre and various Hoddesdon parks. I have a large garden and a spacious house which includes a playroom. I have a full range of Indoor and Outdoor toys and activities suitable for ages 0 to 12 years. These are updated and replaced on a regular basis.
I live with my 4 children, three daughters and 1 son all aged between 27 and 18. My 3 daughters are registered as my assistants as well as having a full time assistant who is currently completing her L3 Early Years Practitioner qualification. We all hold first aid certificates, safeguarding certificates and are DBS checked. All certificates are available upon request.
My Experience
I have 15 years’ experience as a childminder and 27 years of experience as a mother. I have minded over 50 children over the last 15years between the age of 2 months and 12 years. I see my role as providing a normal daily routine and incorporating all the things a child would ordinarily encounter with their parents & provide a happy, safe & supportive environment. This includes providing indoor play such as craft activities, drawing and painting. When weather permits, the children can play in my bright, spacious & well-equipped garden where they are under supervision at all times. In the summer we have the paddling pool out to keep cool and diversify our activities.
We frequently visit the local indoor play areas and parks. We visit Paradise Wildlife Park on a regular basis as I hold membership cards.
My latest OFSTED inspection was in July 2019, which was graded good in all the areas of learning.

My son started with Meriem and her lovely employees in February 2023, he loved it from the start enjoyed going in and thrived more more each day!
I couldn’t recommend her enough! Lovely clean setting! I was always dubious about sending my son to a childminder but I can safely say she made me feel so confident when leaving my child. We love her and her amazing team

Thank you Shirin 🤗
My daughter was only 6 months old when I had to go back to work and luckily Meriem was able to help us. She is truly fantastic with my daughter. They have a great bond and I know my daughter is in good hands. There’s lots of things to do and play with and Meriem takes the kids for trips out. The summers are great in the garden with lots of water play. Highly recommend.

Thank you Frankie 🤗
My little boy started with Meriem when he was just 9 months old and I am so happy we found her.
My little boy has health problems and has spent a lot time in hospital so it was very hard for me to find someone I could trust with him. Meriem made us feel comfortable straight away, she has always been helpfully and understanding about his condition and has gone above and beyond to help where she can.
As a full time working mum it can be hard to juggle but I can always rely on Meriem she is accommodating and understanding and extremely reliable.
My little one has been with Meriem a year and a half and loves it most days I don't even get a goodbye at the door!!!
We are so happy we found her she truly is the best!

Thank you Sophie 🤗
We started my 9 month old with Meriem, right from the start she has been brilliant! My little boy adores her and I have found her so helpful, she really cares about him and would be an excellent choice. I cannot recommend her more! Your child will be in safe and loving hands!
My daughter has been coming to Meriem for nearly a year and she absolutely adores Meriem. She can't wait to see her in the mornings and loves the outings she goes on especially to Paradise Wildlife.
I'm so glad I found Meriem as my childcare as I don't think there's anyone else out there that is as kind and loving to the kids. She treats them like her own and showers them with love and I just know my daughter is safe and happy when she's with her. Thank you for being amazing Meriem.
