My Summary
About Me
FULL TIME VACANCY AVAILABLE FROM JAN 2025
Hi my name is Ajmer. I have been an Ofsted Registered Child minder for 21 years
I offer holiday / term time only contracts and emergency cover
I live in the Stivichall/Cheylesmore area near to the A46 and A45 with easy access to town and all major routes.
I am registered for Government Funding
I am easy going and friendly with a professional approach to my work You can see a few references on here. I have very good relationships with the parents of children in my care.
My home is very inviting and I have a room specially equipped for the children in my care offering them a vast range of learning opportunities through play.I have a wide variety of toys suitable for the age groups that I am registered for and these obviously enhance the Early Years Foundation Stage that I am developing in each individual child.
My garden is very safe. It is enclosed from all areas. Again enhancing all areas of learning development through the equipment provided.
We attend carefully selected activity groups throughout the week helping to develop children's social skills and knowledge of the wider world preparing them for the next steps they face in life.
During the school holidays I take the children to various parks, museums, indoor play areas and meet up with other childminders and their children. As with the toddler groups this helps them develop in confidence and experience new things.
But most of all I love my job and the children in my care are very happy.
I have 2 dogs… a lab and a shih tzu whom the children absolutely adore

My two children, now 4 and 6 have both been going to Ajmers since they were babies and theyve had a wonderful time there. They're always eager to go and when they come back they always have lots to say about what they've been upto. They've also made lots of friends in the other children that go.
It's been great peace of mind dropping them off in a morning and then knowing they're somwhere safe and are having a nice time while I'm at work.
Ajmer is always helpful & flexible when life or work throws it's unexpected difficulties at you and has helped a lot through some tight spots going above and beyond. I can't thank her enough.
Overall i feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a childminder.
Ajmer's house has been a home from home for my children for 10 years. I met her at a local toddler group when my daughter was 3 and my son just a few months old. I liked that she was part of a network of local childminders who met almost daily, giving the children in their care a varied experience and lots of chance to socialise. So at age 9 months my son started to go to her full time and my daughter before and after school.
My daughter had previously been to a day nursery, and I had some concerns about moving from such a professional environment to a childminder's setting. I needn't have worried! Ajmer is a very highly experienced and professional childminder and supremely reliable. In 10 years I think she was only sick once (for one afternoon!) and arranged for another childminder already known to the children to take over.
Ajmer is organised and consistent and this means the children in her care are settled and know exactly what is expected of them. She is also warm and loving towards them! She has a good set-up at home, with a dedicated room for the children, but other spaces they can use according to their needs. There is always a good range of toys both indoors and outdoors, and the children are encouraged to be independent in an age-appropriate way.
Communication over the years has been excellent - both professional and constructive. She has always made time to talk about the children, and is interested in their wider lives too. My daughter moved on to secondary school three years ago and maintains an appropriate relationship with Ajmer (like an aunt) even though she is no longer in her care. And now, after ten years, our professional relationship will end as my son also moves onto secondary school - I know we will keep in touch as she has been such a key adult in both the children's early formative years.
My son would like to add, "Ajmer is like an aunt to me and I am sad I will no longer see her every day. I have grown up with her Labrador, Monty, and he has comforted me whenever I have been in a bad mood."
We would have no hesitation in recommending Ajmer's childminding services to you!
My son has been going to Ajmer since he was 6 months old and my daughter too for the last couple of years (before and after school). They both adore her and the family/home environment she offers has become an extension of our home whilst they are with Ajmer. We honestly don't think that we could have had a better person to look after our children and give them such a start - they have entertaining, fun-filled and educational days in a safe environment and have made some fabulous friends too with the other children there.
Although now the youngest has started school we are continuing with holiday provision partly as we do not want him to leave her and he loves going too (always a sign of a fabulous childminder when they run in every morning without a backwards glance! :)
My boys are 9 and 5 years old and I was struggling to find high quality care for them after school until a friend suggested I contact Ajmer.
She has ensured that both of my boys are safe, happy and secure every single day! They both adore her for her kindness and fun approach to life which is shown clearly that she truly loves her job.
As I needed care promtly Ajmer was very happy to accommodate this that suited us both and wished to spend some time getting to know them before the care sessions started... she knows their little characters very well now!
My boys get along very well with the other children Ajmer cares for. They are like a little team.
Due to not needing childcare no more my children will be sad to leave Ajmer and their friends. But I highly recommend Ajmer to parents looking for a childminder in the local area. I will not hesitate to use her services again in the future.
Huge Thank You.
Best Wishes!!

We lived in Coventry for 3 years and Ajmer looked after my daughter from day 1, it was her first experience with a childminder, starting in a new school and a new home but Ajmer helped her so much to settled in, I can’t thank her enough for all the care, she is amazing with the kids and My daughter was always happy to be at Ajmer’s house. We now live in a different city and my little one always ask if she can go to Ajmer’s for a day. 100% recommended.
