Amazing at settling our daughter in.

Our daughter has only been with Janine a few weeks but her approach has been amazing! She is completely accommodating and has kept us up to date with the settling in process I’m so pleased we’ve found such a great childminder and I imagine our daughter staying with Janine for a long time yet to come!

Beyond my expectations

My daughter has been with Janine for 2 years now.
I had initially wanted to have a childminder setting but then move my daughter to a nursery once she had gained some confidence.
2 years later and no plans to move her anywhere.
Come September I will have to apply for primary schools. Although I have one at the end of my road, I will be applying for the school that Janine currently does school runs for, purely so my daughter is looked after by Janine still when I am at work.
My daughters confidence, learning and experiences she has with Janine is beyond anything I could have hoped for.
She comes out with things I haven’t even approached with her yet. It’s amazing how well my daughter is progressing and although she’s only been doing 2 days a week with Janine, she is such a huge part of that!
My daughter gets excited going to see her (probably helps that Janine does way more with her than I seem to get around to) and I can’t feel any more reassured than I am, knowing who my daughter is with.
I feel incredibly lucky to have Janine taking over my role when I am at work.

Wow thank you so much Rivka, I feel so lucky to be working with such a great family. To hear comments like that is what makes childminding so satisfying it makes it all worth it! Sophie is lucky to have such a loving and caring mum like you.... Super mum!

Great Childminder!

Janine has been looking after my son for just over a year now. He settled in quickly and enjoys spening time at Janine's.

Her house is an excellent environment for kids. Janine is very creative and never short of ideas how to entertain the kids. She makes every day fun and educational.
From a paddling pool in her lovely garden, sandpit, to a disco in her living room there is always something special going on.

She is very flexible around her working hours and nothing is ever too much asked. Her whole family is friendly and welcoming and my son is always looking forward spending time at Janine's house.

I recommend Janine to anyone looking for a reliable, comitted and pasionate childminder.

Flexible, Reliable and Friendly Service

We've had an excellent experience with JanineCo.
Janine herself is bubbly, friendly, full of enthusiasm and passion for her job.
The kids absolutely love her and her home is welcoming, my son particularly enjoys the garden. My son is happy and confident in her setting.
Janine provides a variety of balanced child friendly meals, my son often finishes the lot!
Janine has been really flexible if I've needed last minute childcare, she always turns up on time and is incredibly committed.
I've recommended her to friends and they have also used her.
My son loves going to Janine's house and he doesn't see it as "childcare" he thinks it's just going to a friends house! I think that's a mark of how welcoming and friendly Janine and her family are, all credit to them!
