About me

Caring for my sweet 8-month-old boy every day has deepened my love for working with little ones, but really, it started long ago. I’m the oldest in my family and have always been the go-to person for looking after younger siblings and cousins. Changing nappies, helping with homework, playing games, I learned patience, responsibility, and how to tune into children’s needs early on. Now, as a mum with a naturally nurturing side, I’m excited to offer a home-based space in Romford where kids feel safe, loved, and right at home.

What truly sparked my journey into childminding was becoming a mum. Watching my son explore the world, his giggles, curiosity, and growth made me realise how much I treasure those everyday moments. That’s when I thought, “Why not open my home to other children too?” I want to give families a warm, loving environment where their little ones are cared for like one of my own, with patience, respect, and joy in every day.

What makes my setting a little different is the family feel I bring into childcare. I plan to care for a small group of children, offering each one individual attention and genuine care. As a person of Muslim faith, my home is rooted in kindness, respect, and peace, values that guide how I care for children. Through play-based learning, whether it’s singing, sensory play, stories, or simply exploring the world together, I create a calm and cozy space where children can thrive.
