My Summary
About Me
I find looking after children highly rewarding. We do lots of lovely and stimulating things like attending regular music sessions, and visiting local beaches, Farmer Parmers, Honeybrook Farm, parks, woods and community centers, messy play etc. Anywhere in fact we can all have fun! All this is included in the price.
I am a Registered PQI Advanced Plus Accredited Childminder, based in Canford Heath area of Poole in Dorset. I am a member of PACEY and have been registered as a Childminder since July 1996.
I take the childcare vouchers.
As I am fully accredited, I can offer your child 30 hours a week free government funding the term after they are 9 months old. (The same offered by nurseries.)
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you require further information.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a 4yo and 2yo who have been going to Jill's since 7months old. As a working mum it is important for me to know all their individual needs are met and they are loved and cared for by people like Jill and her assistant. They go out almost every day to groups, activities and exploring local forests and heathlands. Jill has been supportive and encouraging. She has helped us as a family to give them everything they need to be happy, confident and polite children. Jill is flexible and always helps me out when work emergencies come up. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you for everything you do for us.
