Jane and her wonderful staff have been child minding my son Giovanni since December 2016 (he was 13 months then), and she looks after him full time 5 days a week. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care my little boy is receiving, and the great progress he has made whilst in Jane’s care.
Jane’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Giovanni has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Jane’s warm and friendly approach that has really struck me since the very beginning. First time I met her, visited her house, met her wonderful family, I knew Giovanni was going to be loved like any other member of the family. And that was exactly what I was looking after: a warm, happy and loving family environment, because this is all a baby really need at the end of the day – love.
She provides a fun range of activities including panting, baking, singing, drawing as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks. Last week he decorated a card to give to mummy for Mather’s Day!
Jane is a fantastic communicator and has no trouble in gaining Giovanni’s confidence and therefore encouraging good behavior and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When he’s feeling poorly I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety. I know baby will be well looked after, so I can spend my working day without worrying, this is essential as a working parent.
She also does provide healthy snacks and mouth-watering meals, always cooked fresh. Sometime when I pick him up at night she entertains parents with scones and cream (all homemade!) which I find amazing! A godsend after an hard day at work! What a treat!
Jane completes a diary detailing what my baby has done each day. From this I have a complete picture of his whole day including what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities.
I personally couldn’t be happier with the level of care my baby receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self-assured little boy.
I would A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y recommend Jane as a great and reliable childminder.
