I am a first time mum and the thoughts of going back to work and leaving our daughter with someone was absolutely daunting. We knew we wanted a childminder as our daughter is adopted and we wanted a smaller, more intimate environment than a nursery for her. We certainly found it with Jessica and her family. From the moment we walked into their house for an initial meeting our daughter felt at ease as she took off and started playing right away. From that moment and every day since then, when she has been picked up from there she is clearly comfortable and happy with her carers.

Jessica puts on such a variety of activities to keep the children active and stimulate their minds and interests, she inspires my own parenting! Their weekly menus are full of variety and I know my little one is eating well when she is there. Jessica keeps parents fully informed of what their child has been up to with a daily log book and she sends lovely photos of my daughter enjoying herself at various activities which brighten up my working day.

Jessica's childcare setting is like a home from home and the children in her care are treated like members of the family. I am absolutely thrilled to have found her and would be devastated to have to look elsewhere for someone new!
