About Me

I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Wrotham village. I live with my husband who is a police officer and our 2 children aged 9
and 5 years old.
I was graded good at my Ofsted inspection. .
I know that finding childcare can be a daunting prospect, one of the main advantages of a childminder is the consistency of care and the focus that we are able to give your child.
If you choose to place your child in to my care, I can guarantee that they will receive plenty of love, care and attention in a clean, friendly, comfortable home, with lots of learning and development opportunities.


I am open from 8am to 5.30pm and am happy to discuss any other requirements.

All under 5's are cared for following the Early years Foundation Stage (the EYFS) as required by Ofsted and follow the same curriculum as a nursery.

Children are given the opportunity to to
express themselves through a variety of sensory activities including rice, sand, foam, paint and water.

We go out to libraries knole park, museums, soft play, playgrounds, the seaside etc I am a member of Kent life and willows birds of prey centre
I attend weekly playgroups and arrange educational outings linked to topics we are exploring.
We have daily song sessions with instruments and read a variety of books.

I only provide healthy home cooked meals. The children love to help with food preparation and baking.

I am registered to accept funded hours and tax free childcare

Please contact me and have a no obligation chat about your requirements.

My Experience

I am an experienced parent with 4 children and 2 step children. Having used a childminder myself when my daughter was small, I know how it feels to leave your precious child with someone else.I have experience caring for children from birth upwards and previous to that have experience of bringing up my own children.

I am constantly updating myself with learning and childcare matters and see my development as continuous, so that I can provide an outstanding service to my families and children.

I previously worked as a teaching assistant in both primary and secondary schools so I have an excellent knowledge of literacy, numeracy the national curriculum. I take pride in helping children develop at their own pace through each stage of development.

My child was loving to stay with Jow

5 stars

My son was going to Jow once a week for 1,5 year. From 6am till 6pm. He was just 1 year old, but he settled in really quickly in this small, relaxed and very friendly environment.
They do varied activities every time(music, dance, bubbles, sand etc) and little trips.
We are always had a little chat on collection and I was able to see all updates on Baby's days app. Soo many pics that I really liked it.
I really appreciate her job and in my opinion she is really good childminder. Very organised and creative.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s the best thing in the world to hear that the children are happy and parents are pleased with the service I provide.

Fantastic childminder

5 stars

My children always want to go to Jojos house. She offers a wonderful educational experience in a warm, home from home environment. She takes them on lots of outings, provided stimulating activities and the childminder playgroup was a godsend during Covid as it meant at the children didn’t miss out on socialising.

Brilliant Childcare Provider

5 stars

My LG has been with jo since February and it has been the best decision I made for her as she hated nursery (screamed uncontrollably every day for almost a year!) since she has been with jo I have seen a dramatic difference.

Jo ensures the children are engaging in fun learning and my LG has learned so much, she now knows all her colours and is coming on leaps and bounds in other areas of her understanding and knowledge of different things.

My LG is not the easiest to care for as we are in the threenager stage, however jo ensures she is firm but fair when it comes to behaviour and boundaries (such as kind hands and kind feet, sharing nicely, asking for a toy instead of just taking etc) this is something I appreciate as it reciprocates the rules we have at home.

Jo is always taking the children out to groups, farms, nature reserves, baby ballet, soft play, or at home baking and creating which is usually very hard to find a childcare provider whom does do the above so often.

I would highly recommend jo to anyone seeking childcare options

The kids love her 👍

5 stars

When my husband and I want a night out we always make sure to call Jo for her babysitting services.
We have 3 little ones that need looking after.
They always love the time they spend with Jo as she makes their time with her fun and relaxed.
You can tell she is a natural when looking after children and I am always very happy to leave the children with her for a night out.

Jo has looked after my 2 year old daughter on numerous occasions, and is always warm, welcoming and made my little girl feel like she was at home! She is always kept busy with lots of fun activities and exciting toys in a lovely environment! 😊
