Our DS has just moved onto a nursery so he can have experience with lots of older children now he is 3. He started going to Jodie's regularly just before the first lockdown. We were impressed with Jodie's communication and the arrangements around the covid restrictions and think the balance was right.
Our DS soon settled and went in happily every morning after receiving a warm and friendly welcome from Jodie or one of her team. At hometime he would be very excited to tell us about the things he had seen and done in the day. He would often repeat phrases he must have picked up from the adults and these gave a lovely insight to the conversations that might have occurred about kindness, sharing and pasta Wednesdays.
We can't thank Jodie enough for giving us the feeling that our little one was looked after, understood and happy during his time there and all of this in such a beautiful setting, with a well gritted driveway in winter!

I can't recommend Jodie's enough, it was such a wonderful place for our son, even if it was only for a short time.
Our son settled in so quickly and couldn't have been happier. We saw such a change in his development whilst he was there too. Everyone was so lovely and warm to him and us and the place is perfect, I'm not sure I've seen as good a outside space at any nursery or childminders.
Once again, I can't recommend Jodie's enough and it was a sad day when we had leave.

My son joined Jodi mid june due to his current nursery being closed because of the covid situation.
Jodis was recommended to us so we organised a visit and instantly knew it was the right place for our son. I have never considered a childminder as i thought it wouldn't be the right surroundings for my son but Jodis is not like how I imagined. I would class it as a nursery
Loads of outside space and activities, everything they do encourages outside play and interaction with all the other children. I really liked the fact my son was with various ages etc.
Jodi and all the ladies are so lovely and attentive, nothing was to much trouble.
The vicinity was exceptionally clean and I had every confidence that everything was being done to protect my child.
Unfortunately my son going to Jodis was only ever a temporary situation due to having a nursery at my work but myself and his dad had a hard battle deciding to remove him.
We cannot thank jodi and the ladies enough for the confidence and support given over this tricky period.
The place they have is exceptional and I will reccomend it to everyone I know looking for a place for the children to go.

As soon as I drove up the drive, I knew I had chosen the right place, a perfect setting for a nursery with all aspects of natural beauty and all the children playing safely outside.
Even though I am far from the age of playing outside.....unfortunately ;o) I was looking for somewhere, that if I was a child, I would love to be and this is it!
My daughter absolutely loves being with Jodie and the other ladies, and of course the children, which there are only a small amount, so she gets lots of attention, as do all the children.
Even though she is still small, I can see such positive change in her, and when eventually she leaves to go to school, she will be happy and ready, with key skills she has learnt from being with Jodie and her team, and their wonderfully positive environment. I can’t recommend highly enough!

Jodie and her team provided my son with outstanding childcare from the age of 1-3 years old.
The facilities are exceptional and our son adorded the outdoor play space which was expanded during his time there to accommodate the needs of older children.
The support Jodie gave us as a family was exceptional and we had total peace of mind that our son was happy and cared for. Frequently, our son did not want to leave Jodie’s as he had such a lovely day: painting, singing, making pizza and outdoor play to name but a few activities.
The online communication is effective and a lovely photographic journal was sent to us when he finished so we could see first hand our son’s development over the years.
I cannot praise Jodie and her team enough and feel truly privileged that our child had such a great start in such a wonderful warm welcoming setting.

Jodie and her team cared for our son from when he was 8 months old to just over 3.
Jodie was a comfort to him, made him feel safe and encouraged him to explore and not be so shy. She was great with helping us out when we got stuck and had our son for extra sessions when she had space.
I honestly couldn't recommend Jodie and the ladies enough, my son is more confident and loved going up there weekly - especially the new slide and outdoor area! He would be through the gate and off up the top to play!
We are all sad to be moving onto nursery now!

Jodie looked after my son for just over 2 years and we couldn’t be happier. Jodie, Kieron and all the team are fabulous, they are all so caring, my boy absolutely loved every single one of them! My son had some difficulties with eating and Jodie couldn’t have been more supportive, she helped him with everything he needed, and was an amazing support for me too. The outside area is wonderful...I often wanted to stay and play! Jodie comes highly recommended and we are sad to have to move on to big school.

My twin boys have been with Jodie from 10 Months old and Jodie and her team of ladies look after our boys and offer amazing support. They have learnt so many things plus have fun. The outdoor space has been a haven for our boys as the love to explore.
I recommend Jodie over any other childminder and my now 2 year old twins have grown in so many ways.

Absolutely incredible. Can't speak highly enough of Jodie and Kieron and the lovely ladies that help. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since going to Jodie's, his speech is improving everyday as well as his social skills. They spend the day doing so many fun activities with the children and he genuinly can't wait to go - it's hard to get him away at the end of the day! The setting is beautiful and very well looked after. After a difficult experience before finding Jodie, I struggled leaving my son again and I can't thank them enough for what they did for us as a family and for welcoming us as they did. When asked who my son's best friend is it's always 'Jodie!' they have a fantastic relationship. I can't recommend them enough - you won't be disappointed and I will always be grateful for everything they have done for my son.

Cannot recommend Jodie and her team enough. Our Son absolutely loves going, they’re always creating, making, baking and doing other fun and interesting things, he has learned so much from being there. I’m so glad we found them and that our little one has such a happy and fun time.
Thank you 😊

Jodie and her team are extraordinarily good. We entrusted our son to them over a year and never once had any concerns or doubts. The level of care and attention is so high, it is like leaving your child with a member of the family. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by countryside and with a sparkling purpose-built cabin with it's own little garden. Jodie's approach is child-led, she doesn't enforce learning but creates an environment where it happen naturally. Our son's confidence and social skills blossomed in her care. Jodie is also very conscious and responsive to different parenting styles, which gave us great confidence. Even the food on offer is good and healthy. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Our daughter spent a year with Jodie before starting school and had a lovely time - it's a very warm, friendly and easygoing environment. Even my older son was able to attend in school holidays and enjoyed playing in the fantastic childcare setting. My daugther goes to school now but we still remember Jodie's fondly and always wave as we drive by!

I cannot recommend jodie and her team enough. My son was 10 months old when he started here and left when he just turned 3. He enjoyed his time at jodies and always spoke fondly of his time there. The environment and facilities where great and very child friendly. The children get to experience a range of play icluding messy play, water play outside and indoor play and pictures are often posted on the secure babydays app for only you and childminder to see which shows your little one enjoying their time there and also termly reports on the progress they are making. I was always confident my son was happy here and got on well with all the team and other children. Jodie has a great relationship with the children she looks after and is also very knowledgeable in her field. So thank you so much for looking after my little one and for your advice and support over the years.

Jodie and her team are amazing, My daughter has been with Jodie for 2 years and i cant recommend her highly enough, they are provide amazing facilities, and you can tell they absolutely adore working with the children. They are always doing lots of great activities, super lunches and you can tell by the reports and the things they write that they really do get to know your little one and their individual needs. I really really cant recommend highly enough!!

My son has attended for the past 18 months and he absolutely loves going here. What made me choose this setting was the experience jodie has, how thoroughly thought out and perfect the setting is, how my son from the very first visit enjoyed being there but mostly being caring and friendly but still remaining professional. What's really nice is getting regular reports on how my son is progressing and seeing pictures of him having so much fun in this environment. I really can not rate this setting enough and how amazing the childminders are.
