My Summary
About Me
Grade 5 childminder.
Home from home environment
Please feel free to contact myself with any questions
I have an 8 seater Mercedes which the children love, this enables myself to take all of the children to various places & we are not limited to space.
Funded hours available.
I work in partnership with the Falkirk Council.
The school/nursery I drop off/collect from at the moment is Head of Muir however I will cover from Dennyloanhead to Dunipace if I have the times available.
Registered with the Care inspectorate, Scottish childminding association, Falkirk council & fully insured.
I take the children outdoors to play in the local parks and go walking in the woods where the children can let their imaginations go wild and can explore under safe supervision.
When we are not participating in outdoor activities I have a playroom with various toys, books, arts & crafts or if it’s been a busy day & the children would like to relax on the sofa they can.
I will ask the children on a regular basis what they would like to do and ensure each child is included.
My garden is fully enclosed.
I myself have 1 child & have been with my husband for over 20 years.
Pets:- none

I just love knowing how happy my little girl is when she knows she is going to Joyce’s and when she comes home later and tells me of her time with Joyce. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Joyce look after her in the future. The children’s well-being is clearly paramount and I appreciate the professionalism demonstrated by Joyce in her communication with myself as a parent but also her amazing rapport with the children. Her set-up is just right for nurturing the development of inquisitive and creative little minds. I appreciate all Joyce has done for me and my little girl and would highly recommend her services. You just know your child is in the best hands when in her care.

My 2 daughters have been going to Joyce for number of weeks now and both enjoy their time with her very much! She is very professional and organised, with the girls often coming home with things they have made or tales about where they have gone that day. Joyce has a great set up at home with toys, activities and 2 little fluffy guinea pigs, but she will also take the opportunity to go out places time / weather permitting. The girls enjoy their mornings with Joyce & as a working mum it’s great to be able to go to work knowing they are being looked after the way Joyce looks after them :)
