My Summary
Childminder In Kingston
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered child minder based in Kingston in the KT1 area. I have been child minding for the last 3 years. I live with my husband and three children in a beautiful spacious house, which also has a lovely garden with a trampoline. Although every child is different, I believe children need to come into a welcoming home, where they are understood, made to feel important and be happy. I have also worked as an LSA/Teaching Assistant in our local school for the last three years.
The following schools are close to my home: Coombe Hill Infants and Coombe Hill Juniors school. I live minutes away from local Norbiton station, Kingston Hospital, Tesco Express at the Triangle and Dickerage Park. We also have a beautiful daffodil green opposite our house.
I can take children/parents who are on funding - 9months, 2 and 3 year olds.
My Experience
Being a mother of three I have had experience of raising my own children who are now in full time education. I have been childminding children of different ages for nearly three years. I have learnt every child is special in their own way, its how we work with them brings out the best in them. I have also learnt this while working as an LSA/Teaching Assistant at Coombe Hill School.

Tabassum has been caring for my 9.5 month old for over three months now. Her personality and house was so lovely and welcoming, that we immediately knew this is the childminder, we wanted Nora to be taken care by. Tabassum's attentiveness to our child's needs and her communication with us has been excellent! I'd never had a Childminder before and was naturally concerned, but she made the process much easier. This was the first time my daughter had been left anywhere without at least one parent present. I can safely say that my daughter is reaching all her milestones and is doing well. I am reassured by this, and confident that I have made the right decision in choosing Tabassum!

Tabassum has been caring for my son for over a year now, and we couldn't be more pleased with the level of care she provides. My son is quite energetic, but she effortlessly engages him with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. She's consistently punctual, cheerful, and polite, and the children she looks after adore her. They enjoy playing, drawing and crafting together regularly. Knowing that our child is safe and happy under her care gives us peace of mind, and we would gladly provide a reference for her.

My children have been picked up from school and looked after by Tabassum after school for the past year and we are so glad to have found her. We know they are always happy and safe, and get to play and have something to eat in a loving homely family environment. Highly recommended!

My two daughters, now 10 and 7, have been looked after by Tabassum for over a year after school.
They love Tabassum, her home and her family. They do lots of fun activities, such as Just Dance, drawing, trampolining, board games, lots of other outdoor fun, singing! They are given a healthy snack too.
I have recommended Tabassum to several friends. She is reliable, trustworthy and kind, with excellent, clear communication, and I know my girls are safe and happy with her.
