So grateful for Janet

Janet has been absolutely amazing with our little boy!

He’s been with her since he was 13 months old (now 18 months), and in just five months he’s come on so much. He went from crawling to walking while in her care, and his speech has really taken off too. It’s been so lovely to see how much he’s grown and learnt in such a short time.

Janet’s the perfect mix of warm and friendly, but also super organised and professional. She’s just brilliant with the kids—so kind, patient, and really seems to get them. Each week has a fun new theme, loads of creative activities, and she takes the kids out on great little adventures. Otto’s always coming home with something he’s made or a new thing he’s tried.

Otto clearly adores her, and we feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely and who he’s so happy with. Honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s been such a positive part of his early days!

One of a Kind

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Janet as our childminder. She truly goes above and beyond to provide nurturing, high-quality care for our daughter, ensuring her developmental needs are met in a way that feels both supportive and tailored to her unique personality.

Janet has a wonderful understanding of the stages of child development and uses this knowledge to guide her approach. She recognises where my daughter is in her journey, adapting activities and interactions to help her grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence. It’s reassuring to know she’s in such capable hands with someone who genuinely understands and respects her developmental needs.

Beyond her developmental approach, Janet creates a warm, caring environment that feels like a second home. She’s incredibly nurturing, always making sure my daughter feels safe, happy, and valued. At the same time, Janet is firm but fair, helping our daughter understand and respect boundaries. This balance has been so beneficial, as it’s taught her the importance of following rules in a positive, supportive way.

If you’re looking for a childminder who will truly care for your child and guide them thoughtfully through each stage, I cannot recommend Janet highly enough. We are so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and professionalism, which have made such a difference in our daughter’s life.
