The best of the best

I could not have asked for a better person to look after my little Lola. Jo is caring, kind, compassionate and has gone above and beyond for my daughter. Jo is as flexible as she can be when it comes to hours, days as well as drop off and pick up. My daughter adores Jo, and has learnt so much from her. Jo takes the children to playgroups, days out, and more! There is never a dull moment :-).
I honestly could not thank Jo enough for all the help she has given me as a parent, as well as to my daughter. I will forever be grateful! If you're lucky enough to come across Jo and she has a space, snatch it as quick as you can! :-)

Thank you x

Thank you for such a lovely review. I was so lucky to look after Lola she is such a cutie! Lola was a pleasure to have and I will miss you all, thank you for allowing me to be part of your family and for trusting me with Lola. Definitely keep in touch and visit us! Lola is missed by all the children x

AMAZING Childminder!!

Jo is the real deal! I firmly believe that children have a sixth sense and my 19 month old reached his arms out to be picked up by Jo from the very first day we met her and then every day after that he would walk into Jo’s house without so much as a backward glance at me! Jo took exceptional care of my 19 month old and 3 year old when we were between nurseries. I am a worrier by nature but I felt so at ease knowing they were with Jo. She uses this amazing app called Baby’s Days which gives you updates throughout the day on what they’re doing, eating, sleeping etc which really catered to my over anxious mum brain brilliantly. The fact that both boys slept there from day one just shows how happy and comfortable Jo made them feel. I honestly can’t recommend Jo enough. She is absolutely lovely, amazing at what she does and any child that gets to go to Jo’s house every day is very lucky indeed.

Ah Natalie your boys are both such lovely, polite and beautiful children, I thoroughly enjoyed having them over the summer. I am so happy you were happy as I knew leaving them was such a huge thing for you. All the children here will miss them lots! I hope they have a blast in their new setting and will always be here for you all. Please keep in touch xxx

amazing experience

Jo was looking after my baby girl, she is 16 months..I never separated from my daughter, I always take care of her or her father, so trusting someone with whom to leave my baby was a challenge, she is the best, she gave me all the security I needed, my baby has fun and has a good time Very good, she arrives exhausted and that's great! haha. thanks JO! hopefully we will see u soon

Was my pleasure. M was such a good girl. I am glad you felt relaxed and at ease. see you soon at the park x

Friendly and caring

Jo has looked after ava now for just over 2 years, I use Jo for school holidays. Ava always looks forward to going to Jo's, excited about what they will get up to! She's been on days out, dockyard, Eagle heights, local country parks and they visit the elderly residents in a residential home, which ava loves as she gets to help play bingo!
Jo has the most gorgeous dog, ava was unsure before but now is the best of friends with! Jo always makes ava feel welcome and has become more of a friend than a childminder! Would 100% recommend Jo xxx

Thank you, Ava is such a lovely little girl, I thoroughly enjoy having her in the holidays, she is an absolute pleasure, and always wants to help with the babies. It's nice that all the children love her being here too. Thank you both for being another amazing family I am very lucky to work with xx

Amazing childminder

My eldest has been with Jo since he was 9 months old and she has been a great help of every stage of his development. He has come on leaps and bounds and meet if not exceeding his mile stones due to her help. Jo is always willing to help and treats every child as if there were her own. We can not thank her enough for the help and support she has given us and we are looking forward to sending our second child to her as well. Jo has this way with everyone including the children to make you feel at ease and part of the family.

Thank you, it's been a pleasure having him, and I look forward to having them both. You are a lovely family to work for and I'm very lucky to have your eldest, he is a great little boy who is very clever, polite and funny. I look forward to having the baby next year. Thanks Jo x
