My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I would describe myself as a really fun, bubbly, caring and passionate yet professional person. I strive for success and my aim is to ensure that the children I care for have the utmost fun through play and build on what they already know and can do. I love seeing children make new discoveries and learn new things. My positive nature allows me to encourage children to be curious and try new things that can help them reach their maximum potential. I work very closely with parents and carers to enable me to provide the best possible care.
I follow the EYFS framework and have an excellent understanding of the six areas of learning and how to support the children’s development as well as each child's starting point.
I have a well equipped separate room dedicated for the children's play, education and well being.There is also a large garden with lots of facilities such as sand and water play, playhouse and cars. I try and make excellent use of both outdoor and indoor areas to provide activities which support all areas of learning.
Being a vegetarian we tend to grow our own organic fruit and vegetables which the children love participating in.
I love cooking so naturally the children get home cooked food. I also love baking and there have been many times that children have joined in the bake off!

I have cared for various age ranges from babies, toddlers and school children both part time and full time.

Sima is the best childminder I could ever had asked for. She and her family are so loving and caring. I love how she welcome us and my daughters. Sima looked after my daughters over 2 years and they were well looked after. I did not have to worry if they werent taken care off. Sima did a beautiful job she help my youngest daughter become an independent toddler.
I would highly recommend sima to anyone who is looking for a childminder.

Sima and her family are truly amazing - they cared for our daughter for over a year - she adored being with them, was well loved and treated as part of their family.
Our daughter learnt so much under Sima’s care and left a happy, confident and independent little girl. Nothing was ever too much and Sima was so flexible and kind. She also really looked after our son who visited from time to time.
Every day was different and Sima organised so many different stimulating activities and outings for our daughter. Her cooking and range of food offered was amazing and it was so lovely seeing our daughter enjoy new things.
If you are looking for a childminder in Loughton we cannot recommend Sima highly enough.

Sima was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable the first time we met her. She cared for our 1 year old son very well and taught him to become a confident and independent toddler.
Our son was very shy and didn't take to new people but Sima and her family treated him like their own. She kept us updated on his progress during the day and made us feel very comfortable.
She provided interesting learning activities for our son during the day and kept him well entertained in a very clean environment.
I would definately recommend her. We will truly miss her.

Look no further. Sima is one of the best childminders you will ever find!
There are no words to describe how great she has been for both my daughters; they have been staying with Sima since they've started to walk, and she has always been there for them and me! She is a super friendly, open-minded person and a very professional childminder at the same time.
She was amazing with my two daughters (making their birthdays special, baking, gardening and having lots of activities throughout the day).
I feel fortunate to have found her close to our home. She and her family will always be part of our family.
