About

You may be wondering what inspired me to become a childminder (!). Well, I've always enjoyed working with children and i find it rewarding as a childcare practitioner when you see a child progress in their development. It is a very warm feeling knowing you have enabled a child to have the best possible start in life.

 

Prior to working professionally with children, i volunteered at some of the local schools within the Hanwell/ Ealing area helping out where I could as a teaching assistant. Some of the activities i undertook were helping children with their Maths or English work and answering any general questions that they had. I found this enormously gratifying and so continued with my involvement in childcare and teaching. 

 

I have three children of my own who have all grown up. I've also worked in a professional bilingual (French/English) childminding environment for the last 10 years. If you require any references, I am sure the parents of the children I have worked with would be more than happy to provide. 

 

I have a full certificate in Childminding Practice authorised by OFSTED. As well as this, I am an NVQ 3 qualified childcare practitioner with a specialism in Children, Education and Development. I have full public liability insurance cover and a full/clean UK driving licence.

 

I attend regular training courses to maintain my CPD (continuing professional development). I have listed some of  my additional qualifications below:

 

  • Paediatric First Aid Certificate

  • Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering (Food Hygiene)

  • Health and Safety 

  • Safeguarding

 

As well as this I am fluent in 4 languages: English, Persian, Bulgarian, Hindi and i have learned basic french over my time in bilingual French/English Nurseries.

Zohra was room supervisor at my son's nursery. She is very experienced, caring, and the children seemed to warm to her very quickly and be at ease around her. Lovely Person, highly recommend!

'Dedicated'

The dedication Zohra showed in making sure my son was learning was astounding. I had taken him to several other childminders in the area prior and they didn't have as much a positive effect on my child as Zohra did. She just went out of her way to make him feel welcome.

'My children love Zohra'

Zohra babysat my children for a few weeks whilst I was at the hospital during  my pregnancy. Bearing in mind they only spoke Bulgarian, I was really suprised by how much they didnt miss me . My children loved Zohra. It was clear she had a way with children and it was great to see the development they had made since first being under her care. x
