My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Nawal and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I re-located to Northfields, London, 5 years ago from Wiltshire, after marrying my husband. Prior to that I finished my studies in Gloucestershire, achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Studies (Level 6 qualification). I also have 14 years of experience with a combination of both studying and working in childcare. Childcare is my passion which is the path I have followed for both education and career.
I truly believe children mirror those around them, therefore I know that a happy, loving and enthusiastic environment is essential for children to thrive and blossom.
I follow the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), this allows me to put an emphasis on outdoor play as children learn so much through being outdoors and exploring. Even with a simple activity such as a walk to the shops, I ensure your child will still be having fun whilst also learning at the same time! For example, doing a sound walk with the children, or talking about any objects they see on the way to the shops that are square shapes. Any chance is an opportunity for your child to learn through their play and having fun.
I am a happy and energetic person and I deliver a high standard of care. Your child’s well-being is my top priority and I ensure your child is coming to a comfortable and a happy setting. My aim is to deliver a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children, allowing them to develop, progress and thrive as they grow. I prefer a smaller setting as I feel this allows me to spend more time with each child, as this is vital to your child’s development.
I offer a range of activities from arts and crafts, physical exercise (healthy sized garden and park on our doorstep with activities ranging from ball to water and sand play), construction, small world, quiet reading and a mixture of adult and child led activities. I also believe following the children's lead in their play and extending on this is important as this boosts their self-confidence and emotional well-being.
My Experience
14 years of experience in childcare.
I started my journey into childcare straight after finishing secondary school. I obtained my level 3 child diploma whilst also working at placements alongside this. After achieving my level 3, I got offered a job at a private nursery. I was a childcare assistant in the baby room and soon after got promoted to toddler room lead. Responsibilities included; daily planning, responsible for key children who's progress I track throughout the term and also worked closely with their parents.
Following this, I took up work in a pre-school where I was a session coordinator looking after children from 2-5 years old. My job entailed delegating staff, school readiness activities, 1:1 with special needs children, organising termly planning as well as daily planning, tracking children’s learning journeys and writing up progress reports.
I left this job as I was moving to London and now progressing my career in childcare by becoming a childminder.

Our son started going to Nawal’s childcare setting when he was just over a year old, having previously attended a nursery for a couple of months before. He wasn’t getting the care we wanted from nursery and came across Nawal’s childcare - when we met Nawal we knew this would be the perfect setting for him. Moving our son to Nawal’s was the best decision we ever made, for both our son and for us as a family. It made going back to work for me much easier as I knew that he was in a stimulating, fun but calm, kind and very caring environment. Our son couldn’t be happier and actively looks forward to going to Nawal’s to see her, Amani, Eva and all his friends. He has flourished at Nawal’s and comes home happy, stimulated and well-fed. Nawal is unique in that she is extremely professional but also has a loving personal touch and clear affection for the children in her care. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nawal’s childcare, and will be sending our younger son later this year.
Thank you for everything,
Rasha & Rohan

Choosing Nawal and team to look after our daughter was an easy decision, and the best we ever made! She’s been with Nawal for almost 2 years, and loves her and the team as family. She runs in with a smile, eats well, does lots of engaging activities and has made amazing friends. She’s flourished under wonderful care and the whole environment is homely and full of love. This made returning to work much easier for me, and it’s lovely to see the bond our daughter has with Nawal.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to send our Son, Archie. He loves his time with Nawal, Amani and Assiya and comes home happy, well fed and stimulated. It has made going back to work much easier knowing he is in the best possible hands. We can’t thank you enough.

Leo has been attending Nawal's since he was around 10 months old, he is now 2. Nawal and the rest of the team are so caring, so lovely, and have done wonders for Leo's confidence, development and overall happiness. I have 100% trust and confidence whenever Leo attends Nawal's, I never need to worry. Leo goes in so excited to see everyone and comes out with a huge smile on his face. You can tell the kids are so loved and so well cared for. A beautiful, safe and cosy environment with plenty of activities and things for the children to learn and do, never a dull moment! Nawal is very good at giving us feedback on how Leo is progressing and if there is anything we need to be aware of, it is so impressive how on top of everything they are and Leo always comes home well fed, stimulated, socialised and just generally so happy and sleeps so well! In particular, Leo's speech has come on such a long way and it is all down to Nawal's team. It was the best decision we ever made sending Leo here and we would like all our future children to attend. Thank you for everything Nawal.

Best decision ever! Nawal, Assiya and Amani are family to our daughter!
They have been taking care of our little girl since she was 10 months, and since day one, we felt at ease. They totally accommodated her needs and schedule!
She arrives there smiling and with open arms (not even looking back) and comes home smiling and saying their names!
The setting is amazing and the location couldn't be better by the park!
I can’t thank enough Nawal’s team and highly recommend them!
