Welcome to Little Achievers Croydon Childcare – Where I strive for the best for your little one and the community!
Hello, I'm Hazel, the friendly and vibrant woman behind Little Achievers Croydon Childcare. With a genuine passion for working with children, I find immense joy in supporting their development journey, watching them excel, and knowing that I've played a part in influencing their growth.
Drawing from twenty years of experience as a qualified teaching assistant and nursery deputy manager, I've honed my skills in working with children aged 6 months to 5 years. My background includes extensive experience in small group work, fostering relationships, and collaborating effectively with both children and adults. As a humble and open-minded individual, I continuously seek professional development through relevant training courses, ensuring that I stay adaptable and flexible to meet the unique needs of each child in my care.
As a childminder, I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and Development Matter, aiming to provide high-quality, affordable childcare in a relaxed and caring home environment. Believing in fostering independence to boost self-esteem and development, I offer a flexible service from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, accommodating earlier mornings and school holidays.
Here at Little Achievers Croydon ChildCare, conveniently based in West Croydon, and located near Elmwood Infant School and Queen Road where the 450 bus service is available, I offer a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your child to thrive. Our commitment is to provide opportunities for development and exploration, nurturing their enthusiasm for new experiences and interaction with other children.
Our activities include regular parks and library trips, summer picnics, visits to the children's centre for stay and play, and a well-equipped garden with exciting outdoor play opportunities. Inside, I have a well-resourced room offering activities such as play, cooking, arts and crafts, storytelling, and much more.
My Experience
I hold relevant experience and qualifications, such as 10 years of experience as a Teaching Assistant, and 10 years as an early-year practitioner with a Level 3 Diploma in Children's Learning and Development (Early Year Educator) in children's learning specialised in early years. I regularly attend in-house training sessions to stay updated with EYFS changes and laws.
For any inquiries or to discuss your childcare requirements, please contact me. Your child's well-being and development are the top priorities at Little Achievers Croydon Childcare.
