Jane is an excellent child minder. When our son joined we were having problems with another setting and decided to change providers. We were a little apprehensive about how our son would settle having changed settings, but within only 2 settling in sessions he loved it.

Jane covers all elements of EYFS learning but goes over and above in our opinion. The children have activity filled days and spend time outdoors whenever possible. We have regular catch ups on his progress and can chart it through his learning journey. We also get all his artwork and lovely keepsakes from their time together.

The communication between us and Jane is faultless, we keep in contact via catch ups, a WhatsApp group and we've joined a private page so we're able to see what Jane has planned for the coming week and photos and videos of their daily activities which gives us a little window into his world which makes all the difference.

We are so happy with the care and learning our  son is receiving at Jane's that we've decided to keep our son on longer and defer pre-school as we feel he gets so much at the setting. As Jane ensures the children socialise with other minded children at childminder get-togethers as well as play groups, we feel that he gets the best of both worlds.

Overall, we would say that a testament to Jane's childcare is how much our son loves being with her. She's an extension to his family and a big part of his life. We can go to work without a single worry and knowing he is in safe hands and happy. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.
