Empowering Early Years through Art, Play and Development.

 About Shamima’s Workshops

Shamima’s Workshop is an Early Years consultancy focused on supporting high-quality learning, development, and practice in early childhood settings.

The aim is to help educators, parents, and organisations create nurturing, effective environments where children can grow with confidence and reach their full potential. This is achieved through practical guidance, tailored support, and a strong understanding of child development.

Shamima’s Workshop is built on a commitment to continuous improvement. Through ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), the approach remains current, reflective, and aligned with best practices in Early Years education.

At its core, Shamima’s Workshop is about making a meaningful difference—supporting adults to improve their practice so that children receive the best possible start in life.

Meet the Founder: Shamima Fowzee

I’m Shamima Fowzee, the founder of Shamima’s Workshops—an early years consultant and trainer, NCFE assessor, and creative arts therapy practitioner with experience supporting nurseries, schools, and families across the UAE. Over the years I have developed creative, reflective approaches to early childhood education, designed play-based curricula, and supported teachers in implementing high-quality, child-centered practice. My approach brings together pedagogical expertise, methodological clarity, and a deep commitment to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and emotions. I believe that children learn best when they feel emotionally secure, creatively stimulated, and understood by the adults around them.

Everything I create at Shamima’s Workshop is rooted in a commitment to child-centered development, emotional well-being, and purposeful creativity. I believe in evidence-based practice, in making learning engaging and accessible, and in supporting the adults who support children—because strong, confident practitioners and parents build strong, confident children. This community exists to make early years education clearer, more joyful, and beautifully connected to children’s natural ways of exploring the world.
