About Me

About Me – Joanna’s Childminding
Hello, my name is Joanna and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder with years of experience supporting children’s learning, wellbeing, and development.
I offer a warm, friendly, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to explore. We are a very active and outdoorsy setting — enjoying fresh air, nature walks and plenty of fun activities that help children grow in confidence and independence.
I also accept government funding, making childcare more accessible for families.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please feel free to contact me — I’m always happy to help!

My Experience

About Me as a Childminder
As a qualified teacher and dedicated childminder since 2018, I offer a nurturing, active, and creative environment where children can learn, grow, and feel inspired every day. Alongside my teaching background, I bring a unique blend of skills and passions that support children’s physical, emotional, and social development.
I am also a youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach, and I love introducing children to movement, confidence-building activities, and the value of teamwork through fun, age-appropriate exercises. Arts and crafts, sensory play, and imaginative projects are a big part of our daily routine, and I make sure each child has plenty of opportunities to explore their creativity.
Health and wellbeing are at the heart of my setting. I incorporate yoga, outdoor play, nature walks, and a variety of outdoor activities to help children stay active, centred, and connected to the world around them. I also promote healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle, encouraging children to develop positive habits from an early age.

Good
3 April 2024
Children form strong attachments and make good progress in this nurturing environment. The varied curriculum focuses on outdoor learning and supports communication skills, benefiting all children including those learning English as an additional language. While younger children could be encouraged to develop more independence in self-care tasks, the childminder provides a language-rich environment and celebrates children's successes. More challenge could be offered to older children to further develop their critical-thinking skills.
