My Summary
Ofsted Outstanding Childminder
About Me
My name is Joyce, and I have been a dedicated childminder for over 10 years. I am passionate about providing a nurturing, safe, and loving environment where children can thrive. I work hard to ensure that every child in my care feels valued, secure, and supported in their growth.
I have a deep understanding of the developmental milestones children need to achieve and strive to equip them with the skills and confidence to succeed. Whether it’s fostering creativity, encouraging social interactions, or supporting their educational development, I tailor my care to meet each child’s individual needs.
My childcare setting is located in Newton Heath, within the comfort of my home, which I have carefully designed to be welcoming and child-friendly. I am committed to creating a space where children feel at ease and parents can have peace of mind knowing their little ones are in capable hands.
My Experience
I am a registered childminder and have been awarded "Outstanding" by Ofsted twice consecutively, reflecting my commitment to delivering exceptional childcare. In 2023, I was also recognised by Manchester City Council for achieving an "Outstanding" Ofsted judgment, a testament to my dedication to quality and excellence.
With many years of experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and school-aged children, I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage. My goal is to create a nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment where children can grow and thrive.
As a mother of four, I bring personal insight and practical experience to my role, which allows me to connect with both children and parents on a deeper level. I am passionate about helping children achieve their full potential while giving parents peace of mind.

My daughter loves coming to Joyce' s childminding services. From the age of 1 she has attended here and we have seen immense development in our child. From the activities she does with Joyce and her interaction with other children here, the level of service provided is very healthy and has helped with her social skills. She settled in quickly from day 1 and has been treated very well. We feel so privileged to have had access to Joyce's outstanding care. Joyce provides a reliable, caring and child friendly service.The Oftsed rating is accurate!!!

Joyce is Amazing, Great Activities for children. She has been looking after our little girl since she was only 8 months, was hesitant to go back to work but after a day of leaving the baby, l was confident as she kept me updated with the baby settling, sending pictures and messages. The baby quickly settled in and now she loves it. Our baby started counting from 9 months and now at 16 months can read alphabet. Am so Happy with the services she provides.

Joyce is an exceptional childminder. Her profound understanding of children's needs and swift, thoughtful responses make her truly outstanding. She provides invaluable support not only to children but also to parents. Joyce is consistently available to offer guidance, and her accessibility is a great relief.
When my child began with her, not knowing English wasn't an issue. Joyce skillfully connected with my child, aiding her in improving her language skills. Within just a month, my child's comprehension of English blossomed.
Joyce is incredibly proactive when it comes to organizing activities. Her meticulous planning ensures that every day is filled with enriching events for the children. She fosters their social skills, motor skills, and behavioral development, preparing them effectively for school. When necessary, she can also be firm and assertive.
My child has made remarkable progress under Joyce's care. I've witnessed her enhanced grasp of rules and improved abilities in interacting with other children. She has mastered tasks like dressing herself, using the potty, playing within a group, and even enjoying solitary playtime.
I can't imagine a childminder who could provide better support for my child than Joyce. Her warm, welcoming smile greets my child every morning, filling her with happiness. Without a doubt, she is the very best!

Joyce, is a lovely lady, she’s very good with my daughter, who she’s for the After school club. She looks forward to go there all the time. Joyce assists in making sure she does her homework when she has any.
Would highly recommend. 😊

Finding Joyce was a blessing in all meanings. She’s been looking after my one year old baby when no one else would take him in. He used to cry with anyone that wasn’t mum or dad. Joyce was able to go around the situation and I can see how he has improved and loves to stay there with the other kids. The setting is just amazing and has everything a child needs to develop. My son adores to take part on all the different activities that Joyce has prepared for them.

Aunty Joy as my little one called her .
She's a very understanding person to be honest my daughter used to cry most of the time that I dropped her off but aunty Joyce will do everything to calm her down and later one she really enjoyed going to her aunty Joyce.
Something that amazed me was, on her last day she did my little girl hair and when I picked her up she looked absolutely beautiful so trust me she's very clean and looks after children very well thank you so much God bless you 🙏

Am glad my sister recommended Aunty Joyce. She is very professional at her job. My 18months old girl is happy to be around her. In terms of children educational development, Aunty Joyce is second to none as she does lots of educational and fun activities with the kids. At just 18months she’s trained my baby girl to feed herself. The biggest plus for me is she’s very accommodative with my child’s start and finish time. I will certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder. Thank you Aunty Joyce.
