A warm welcome
Meet Hazel, your Croydon childminder
Hello, I’m Hazel. I want your child to feel secure, valued and ready to discover something new — in a place that feels like home.

Experience, care and a love of early years
I have worked in early years education since 2007 and have experience supporting children’s learning and development in a range of early years roles.
My previous experience includes working as a Teaching Assistant, Early Years Practitioner, nursery room leader, third-in-charge and deputy.
A thoughtful, professional approach
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) and have completed Paediatric First Aid and safeguarding training.
As an Ofsted-registered childminder, I aim to provide a nurturing environment where children feel secure, develop independence and enjoy learning through play.
Your child, at their own pace
I understand that every child is different. I value children’s individual interests, abilities and developmental stages and work in partnership with parents to support their progress.
