About Me

I'm Julie, and I am a Outstanding childcare provider.I have been registered for the last 19 years in the London Borough of Merton. There is nothing more rewarding than playing a part in the care and learning journey of children and working closely with parents and carers.

I continue to make sure my knowledge is kept fresh and up to date by regularly taking training courses to enhance the practices in my setting. I have an extensive Personal Development Portfolio that is available for prospective parents to view too!

My Experience

As a level 4 practitioner I take my role as a childcare provider seriously and as such like to ensure that Children and Parents feel secure within my home - providing a welcoming, safe and caring space. I have experience with new borns, toddlers, twins and SEN children too.
My childcare setting is run along the same expectations as a Nursery. Policies, Procedures, curriculum and Risk Assessments are all in place for parents to view where required however unlike a nursery, my routines are more flexible and can be tailored to meet each child's individual needs and as the Key Worker I am able to regularly provide both focused 1-on-1 time and group activities.

I keep up to date with all the changes that are taking place within Childcare as a field and I apply them with pride. We regularly attend drop-ins and local events, host seasonal activities that teach whilst also being fun.

I use baby massage as a soothing technique that helps the settling in process for babies and builds a bond where they feel cared for. I also host afternoon Toddler yoga sessions that promote balance (an important skill to support learning) and encourage emotional wellness with children.

I encourage children to express themselves through play which is essential to learning and development.
We spend time with books, writing, rhyme time, musical play and sensory play. I also provide children with a variety of resources that cover all areas of learning. I have a large outdoor garden where we participate in outdoor games and toys and messy play and (weather permitting) a free-flow from indoors to outdoors

I am a great believer in healthy eating and encourage children to explore new flavours and textures and I like to get even the youngest children cooking (which is messy but great fun!) and for the last few years we have been growing Plants, Fruits and Veg from seedlings to harvest -including the cooking and eating. This year we are growing Tomatoes, strawberries and onions.

Every child has a daily diary update, a weekly diary sheet & termly reports.. During the 'settling-in' process there are regular updates and photos shared with parents to easy any separation anxiety too! I use individual tracking and planning for every child.
I also provide 2 year reports for health visitors, end of year reports and termly newsletters, transition reports and shared planning.

I'd be more than happy to discuss your needs as a parent/carer and I'm always delighted to meet with prospective parents as I feel it's the best way a parent gets a better feel of Me and my setting!

I am also able to offer funded placements for children from 9 months old

My fees include all costs incurred with the exception of formula.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to get a feel for me, my setting and what I can offer!

My Qualifications

I frequently take training in an effort to continue to develop my practical skills and knowledge base. This includes safeguarding, SENco, Paediatric First Aid and many others and I'm happy to share my Personal Development Portfolio with any prospective clients.

In 2018 I was honoured to be a Childminder representative within the HEYL (Healthy Early Years London) as an advocate for home grown, healthy cooking which was acknowledged by the Local Authority and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan to launch the HEYL initiative.

I have a number of happy clients who will gladly provide excellent references.

My most recent inspection report was November 2022 where I was graded OUTSTANDING by Ofsted

Wonderful Childminder

5 stars

Julie is a wonderful childminder,she looked after my son from 2 years old until he started senior school.She potty trained him,encouraged him and taught him excellent life skills.We couldnt have asked for a more dedicated,very experienced person to help bring him up.I highly recommend her.During all our time with her there wasnt a single accident or concern.It was a relief to have found someone we could trust after our bad experience with a local nursery.Shes a caring,fun but firm minder whos years of experience has resulted in us remaining firm friends with her and her family.

Response by Avatar for Julie Julie on 04/06/2013:

thanks Nikki

Fabulous lady

5 stars

Julie was a pleasure to meet,she provided me with temporary childcare whilst i did Jury Service.I only wish id had known her when i was looking for a childminder for my youngest so he hadnt ended up in nursery.She is probably the most down to earth,focused childminder in her area.Her experience(and trust me she has plenty of satisfied parents in her years of childminding) is obvious when you see her with children in her care.Shes very well respected as a childminder in her area and was recommended to me by parents who had used her for both their children.Her references are excellent.
I highly recommend her.Professional,friendly and supportive.
