My Summary
About Me
? High-Quality Early Education in a Nurturing Home Setting
Ofsted Rated Good | Funded Places Available | Croydon
Hello, my name is Joyce — an Ofsted-registered childminder offering high-quality early education for children aged 9 months to 8 years.
I provide more than childcare.
I provide a safe, structured, and inspiring environment where children thrive, learn, and grow in confidence every day.
? What Makes My Setting Special
? A calm, nurturing home environment with strong routines
? A focus on communication, language, and confidence-building
? Daily access to outdoor learning, parks, and local experiences
? Small group care with individual attention for every child
? Strong, genuine partnerships with parents
Children in my care benefit from:
• Meaningful conversations and storytelling
• Music, rhythm, and creative expression
• Real-world learning through outings and exploration
• A secure, loving environment where they feel seen and valued
A Thoughtful Approach to Learning
I follow the EYFS framework, carefully planning around each child’s:
• Interests
• Development stage
• Individual needs
My goal is simple:
To help every child become confident, curious, and ready for their next stage of learning
Healthy Food & Daily Care
I provide nutritious, home-prepared meals and snacks, supporting:
• Healthy eating habits
• Cultural and dietary preferences
• Positive relationships with food
My Experience
A Strong Partnership with Parents
I work closely with families to ensure:
• Open, honest communication
• Daily updates about your child
• A shared approach to routines, behaviour, and development
I have extensive experience of working with young children in nurseries. 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.
