Our 2 year old has been looked after by Jo and Dianne for over a year now and we are so happy we found them. They are fantastic at what they do, it makes it so easy leaving our little boy with them several times a week. They are always taking the kids out and about to various places, and when they aren't the children are kept busy with activities and education. Could not recommend enough! Such kind and caring people.

Joanne and Diane are incredibly welcoming, my 8 month old has been going to their house for almost 4 months now and he is very happy when I drop him off and pick him up! I like how the house is really a home, with pictures on the walls of all the children (now grown up!) who have passed through over the many years they have been running. I like that they go out to local toddler groups and have walks in the bluebell woods. Can't recommend highly enough!
