My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Happy House Childcare (HHC), located in Champion Hill, near the East Dulwich Sainsbury’s. I offer a nurturing and stimulating home environment designed to foster growth through play-based learning.
My mission is to enhance children’s confidence and skills essential for daily life during these formative early years. I believe that home-based learning is a critical component of their development.
At Happy House Childcare, I provide wholesome, home-cooked meals and snacks throughout the day, promoting healthy eating habits.
I take great pleasure in working with children and have three of my own who share this enthusiasm. Our daily activities include visits to Children’s Centres, local parks, libraries, soft play areas, and baby gyms.
Additionally, I embark on monthly excursions to museums, zoos, farms, and other engaging destinations.
I am conveniently accessible via several bus routes (40, 468, 68, 176, 185, 484, P13, 42) and train stations (East Dulwich and Denmark Hill).
For school collections, I serve Bessemer Grange Primary School and Lyndhurst Primary School.
I accept the Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) and payments through the tax-free childcare scheme. Please feel free to inquire about other payment options if needed.
My Experience
I am a dedicated mother to three wonderful children: a daughter and twin boys, aged 22 and 19. With a background in nursery work and childminding since 2014, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my role. Notably, a child previously in my care began their journey with me at just one month old, reflecting the deep commitment I have to fostering growth and development from an early age.

Okio is the best childminder I've met so far. She is professional, her communication and interpersonal skill is top notch, she is friendly, kind, understanding, and have a way with kids. My little one started at about 12 months + initially she was fuzzy but after she settled in she became a different baby ( lol in a good way) she would go to okio without crying, became more independent and her social skills improved. Okio was patient with my baby doing the settling in period , I've never picked up my child with a dirty nappy on, she takes them outdoors and I get good update about how my child is faring while I'm away.
I couldn't have asked for a better minder
Thanks Okio

I have had such an amazing experience from the very first day. Ovuokio has played an instrumental role in my twins development. My twin boys are always talking about their time with Ovuokio and what they do and eat. Thank you Ovuokio for everything thing that you have done for us. We really appreciate it.

Our daughter has been with Ovuokio since she was seven months old, increasing this year from three to five days a week. She's been going for 15 months and absolutely loves all the activities Ovuokio takes her and the other children to, and has formed great bonds with all the children who attend, which is one of the great benefits of going. Ovuokio is well connected with other childminders in the area and they typically attend a different playgroup or event every day, which means our daughter is engaged, learns social skills, but also has no qualms about saying goodbye to us in the morning during drop off so the fun can begin! As parents, we really appreciate Ovuokio too - she's a great communicator, is highly organised and really cares for the children she looks after.

Our son has been with Ovuokio every morning for over a year now whilst we are both studying and we are so happy to have found her. She is a wonderful childminder; honest, loving, flexible, reliable, professional and amazing with the children. Our son settled in quickly with Ovuokio and hasn't looked back since! He loves to see her and his friends every morning and enjoys all the creative and fun activities they do together. We are so grateful for the range of experiences Ovuokio offers the children, which are varied and change as they develop. As first-time parents she has been so helpful in sharing her wisdom and advice with us and we completely trust her judgement. We are extremely grateful for all the ways she has patiently taught our son new skills, encouraged his growth and tracked his development. We would definitely recommend visiting and getting to know Ovuokio if you're looking for childcare in the area.

My son have been with Ovuokio for nearly two years now and it’s the best decision I’ve made in terms of childcare. My son has always been caring and friendly but I have seen these traits blossom more and more over the last couple of years due to his interaction with Ovuokio and the children under her care. I have seen him take on a big brother role and become more organised and independent.
My son has really bonded with Ovuokio and adores being around her. Ovuokio is a lovely, kind and honest person who goes above and beyond to cater for the children in her care. She is very organised and gets the kids involved in indoor and outdoor activities. My son is also excited to see what the next adventure entails.
I trust Ovuokio wholeheartedly and will continue to use her service. I would highly recommend Ovuokio as a childminder.
