About Me
Hi, I'm Yasamin, a warm and nurturing caregiver based in West Town, Peterborough. I live with my loving husband and our delightful four-year-old. We're looking to open our home to a small group of children aged 1-5.
Our home is a child-centered environment where we practice conscious parenting. My child is a kind and gentle soul who loves to share the joy of playing and learning with others. I believe in creating a safe and stimulating space where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
My Approach to Childcare:
I have a passion for early childhood development and enjoy supporting children as they discover the world around them. My approach is based on observation, communication, and empathy. I believe in respecting children's choices and interests, fostering their independence, and providing a loving and supportive atmosphere.
I offer a variety of enriching activities, including:
Play-based learning: Engaging in imaginative, sensory, and outdoor play.
Healthy eating: Preparing fresh, home-cooked meals and involving children in the process.
Music and movement: Exploring rhythm, melody, and gross motor skills through dance, yoga, and musical instruments.
Nature and gardening: Cultivating a love for the outdoors and fostering a connection with nature.
Literacy and numeracy: Encouraging language development through storytelling, rhymes, and early math concepts.
I'm committed to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive.
My Experience
With a scientific background in biotechnology, I shifted my focus to the fascinating world of early childhood development when I became a parent. My scientific approach allows me to observe children with curiosity, understanding the critical importance of brain development during these formative years. I'm committed to providing an environment that nurtures growth and potential.
Recently registered with an Ofsted-regulated childminding agency, I've combined my professional experience with hands-on parenting. Inspired by Montessori principles and armed with a parenting coaching certificate, I'm passionate about creating positive interactions and supporting both children and their families.

Our daughter has been attending Mini Explorers since September and we are so pleased with the setting and Yasamin. She is so lovely, gentle, responsive, considerate and easy going.
Her setting is very well laid out with lots to keep the little ones busy. It's clear to see that Yasamin plans each session as there are activities set up in the mornings.
She also provides home made, nutritious food.
This is our second child so we have experience of childcare providers and Yasamin is amazing. I never worry about my little one when she is at Mini Explorers. She enjoys attending and it is clear she is so well looked after at the setting.

Unfortunately I’m being forced to update my last review. My daughter started attending little explorers by the end of June 3 weeks after I was is formed by childminder that she’s going abroad for 3 weeks planned medical treatment. Week ago I was told that “treatment “ will take longer than expected and therefore she must cancel our contract . My daughter is starting school this September so I was left with no childcare whatsoever for the summertime and I am working on 2 jobs . Since the “ health issues “ were so serious I understand the childminder knew about them long before she signed the contract with me . Why signing the co tract and then cancelling after 1.5 month ? I came to the conclusion that she only needed an extra money for holiday expenses . Do not sent your children there ! She’ll leave you with no childcare after a month

Hi Kat,
I understand you feel misled, and I apologize for any upset this has caused. I reached out to you via email to explain my medical situation, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive a response.
Medical issues often arise unexpectedly and require adjustments to plans. When I initially mentioned needing a break, I was unaware of the severity of my condition. Subsequent tests revealed the extent of the issue and the necessary treatment timeline.
I had hoped that my clients would understand that unexpected life events, such as medical issues, can arise.
If you have further comments feel free to contact me on my email.
3 floors of her amazing tiney house fully loaded with interactive interesting toys , books , Loads of activities, healthy home cooked meals , warm atmosphere. We’ve had 5 childminders before and only Yasamin showed us what does it mean to be devoted to children . If you are a parent looking for childcare don’t look anywhere else .She’s amazing !!!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with me. Thank you for your kind words. It’s my pleasure to work with “L”, that quickly absorbs anything we work together.
Looking forward to see you next week!
