I contacted this childminder since she was the closest to my house. She re-scheduled my appointment three times with different reasons like decided not to take any new child, held up with lot of paper work, etc. All the time information was given only on the day of appointment - an hour or two before. When we finally met in person she was sweet and spent the time knowing our child. She confirmed to take in our little girl from Nov. A month later she messages saying she decided not to take any further kids and I should look for a different childminder. She is so unreliable and put us through lot of stress in the whole process.
Overall
Jan Jan is an amazing child minder. She made us all feel like family! My son still talks about her til this day. Her and her husband and her son are all amazing people. They have the perfect setting! I would definitely be seeking their help if I need to.
Thank you jancis for everything you did for my son. Xx

You will not find a better childminder than Jan and Bryan, their personalised attention and love has seen our little girl thrive under their care for the past 3 years.
They have been the biggest support to us over the years, and have become part of our family, so much so that the thought of our little girl moving on to school and not seeing them every week leaves a ache as they are just the most wonderful people you will ever meet. Theres so much I could say about our incredible experience - their flexibility for changing schedules or last minute changes is a huge support for working parents, incredible home cooked meals despite intolerances, help with development, being a sounding board and tapping into Jans wealth of knowledge as one walks the path of parenthood as a first time parent. There’s nothing more reassuring than seeing your child happily toddle off in the morning and come home happy and excited to tell you what they did that day.
We are so thankful to you both ‘jan jan’ and Bryan, you’ve had a remarkable impact on all of us, but especially Taelyn and we are grateful for all the effort and time you have invested in her, none of it went unnoticed - we will continue to sing ‘twinkle twinkle chocolate bar’ daily and think of you both 😆

Jan and Bryan are two of the most wonderful people you could ever want to have in your children’s lives. My children adored going there and they both thrived under their love and care so much so that on my day off when I did the school run and my 2 year old saw Bryan doing the school run she would get so upset as she wasn’t going home with him!!
Communication is top notch and the flexibility they provide is so reassuring. My husband and I worked over an hour away and we knew if there was ever an issue with traffic etc that the children would be well looked after until we got there and without the judgement you often get with nurseries!
We moved recently to be closer to work and leaving these two behind was such a wrench!
My children loved Jan Jan and Bryan, so much so that only the other day, 3 months after we left my 2 year old said “miss jan jan and Bryan”. Thank you both for loving my two as much as we do. Xxx

Jan is an amazing and caring childminder who goes above and beyond. She looked after my two children for a number of years and the progress they made during that time is credit to her and the tailored individual attention she gave them. Jan is a caring and inspiring role model for the children and I feel so privileged that my children had the benefit of her in their lives.

Debbie's children were a joy to look after. They were bright, friendly and inquisitive children who wanted to experience everything. We had so many happy times especially with outdoor play. They made a lot of friends with the other minded children which helped make a very cohesive group
These children were a credit to their parents.
I am now looking after Debbie's god-daughter who is very similar to her own children.
So I have got a lot to look forward to. I love this job!
Our daughter Mia came to Jan when she was one and a half year old. She was treated there as a family member,She went there daily and came back with a smile, sometimes she did not even want to leave, which probably best shows what kind of person is Jan and Brian,her husband .Mia started school this year, but she still can not wait for all school breaks ,which she will by spend with Bartrams family.In Summary,we were extremely happy with our choice of Jan,we entrusted our most precious possession to her and never regretted it.

Iwona, Thank you for your kind words. Your daughter Mia is very special to all of us. She is a brave, clever, and creative child. She has two very good parents who have always done the very best for her. We hope we have contributed to her development and she has enjoyed her time with us. We have all missed her a lot since she has started school but we are looking forward to seeing her during the holidays
During her last few months we followed a "Get ready for school" learning programme. Mia was able to do everything she needed to be independent and learned a lot of extra things such as learning a little French with me. She is now attending an After School Club for French and is excelling in all areas of learning. Today I saw her in a Christmas concert where she was performing with children a year older than herself. This little girl will go far !
My son who is almost 3 has been going to happy days for almost a year now, he absolutely loves it, he has come on leaps and bounds in his speech and confidence.
Jan and Brian make me feel at ease and always there to help with advice, short notice work commitments and just overall couldn’t be more helpful.
My son can be very shy with new people but warmed to the surroundings on our first visit.
They also take him out on trips which he loves

Emma is a very caring mother who is totally interested in doing the best for her son. Her little boy was shy at first but this was to be expected meeting new people in a place he did not know. We took time to get to know what he likes and how he learns. Then we put this into practice. With positive support for his learning there was very little two year old tantrum behaviour.
He has developed into a marvellous boy. He is very outgoing and engages with other children and adults very easily. He is confident with physical activities. He is very creative, Yesterday he made a whole small village on the sand table during the afternoon. He likes to try new things and then reflects on what he has achieved, showing really good critical thinking. His highest level of development has been his language skills. He has moved over most of the areas of learning from that equal to his chronological to the 30 to 50 months area.
Emma and her son are a joy to know
