Jo has been childminding my daughter since November 2017. She looks after her for 2 afternoons after school each week but is extremely flexible and covers additional days if I need her to. 

I have been extremely happy with the care my daughter has received and the great progress she has made whilst in Jo’s care.

Jo’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Jo’s warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced.

Jo provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor play.

Jo is a great communicator and had no trouble in gaining my daughters confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to me at home.

Jo provide’s my daughter with a healthy snack and meal each evening, the food is always home cooked and of a good variety.

Jo ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my daughter receives, Jo is by far the best childminder we have had and we’ve had a few!  

The positive and happy environment Jo provides is reassuring for me and welcoming for my daughter, so much so she rarely wants to come home. 

I would absolutely recommend Jo as a great and reliable childminder.
