My Summary
About Me
My name is Joyce and I am an OFSTED Registered childminder and a member of the PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR CHILDCARE AND EARLY YEARS.
I am fit, energetic and enjoy dancing and music. I love books and read to children at every opportunity in and out of my setting. I am very enthusiastic about child development and seeing how children make links while enjoying their learning. Being a part of this is very exciting.
My passion is very much in my own business, which is developing good relationships with parents and carers. I enjoy working for myself while using the experiences I have acquired as a Nursery nurse while being a part of childcare services in nurseries.
I have two very studious daughters who attend local secondary schools and who are very supportive good girls.
Good food is very important and I respect family choices when it comes to the food they eat and the celebrations. I personally eat well and therefore provide healthy balanced meals.
My home is very close to Windmill Park on Whitehorse Road and I frequent this en route to childminding groups and play dates. I also regularly meet with other childminders for play dates, farm outings and other local provisions. Thornton Heath and South Norwood Libraries are a brilliant avenue to enjoy reading, singing and rhyme time groups and I take full advantage of these.
My Experience
I have been working in local nurseries for the past couple of years. My role extended to all areas of childcare and administration. I was responsible for informing parents of their child's activities and developments during the day. Parent partnership is very important to me in order to deliver the best care for a young child according to what parents want and expect for their little one when they are not able to be with them.
