Joy is an amazing childminder. Our son was with her for over three years and throughout that time she looked after him with care and kindness. As a parent, I knew I was sending him somewhere that he would be kept safe and my preferences on naps, routines etc would be followed. Throughout his day, we were kept informed of how he was doing and sent lovely photos to show him engaging in his play. My son’s favourite thing about going to Joy’s was that his day was never the same. There could be a trip to the park, an outing to feed the ducks or a meet up with another childminder to see friends. There was always a range of learning opportunities through a fun activity such as developing scissor or sticking skills, counting or pencil control. Joy provides a safe and stimulating environment for all of her children and any family would be lucky to have her.
