We were lucky enough to find Janette when we did to be our then-13 month old's childminder. Our daughter and Janette had a great connection from day one, and there were no issues with her settling in. She was always excited to go to Janette's house everyday - her face would light up when we reached Janette's door as she realised where she was and she would start smiling instantly.
She had a lot of fun playing with Janette and her young sons, who are equally wonderful. Janette's place was always so peaceful and comfortable, and Janette radiates calmness. Our daughter would be out with Janette everyday at various playgroups or doing activities, such playing with musical instruments and arts & crafts. We were given some lovely homemade cards and pieces which she helped our daughter make, which we were very grateful to have as keepsakes.
Our daughter ate fantastic home-cooked and nutritious meals at Janette's, which was really important to me in my initial search for a childminder, and put my mind at ease knowing she was eating so well. She has really benefitted from a home-from-home setting at Janette's, and developmentally has came on leaps and bounds, particularly with her walking and speech, which is down to Janette.
Unfortunately, we have recently moved out of the area so have had to find new childcare arrangements for our daughter. Had it not been for the move, we would have had our daughter stay in Janette's care for as long as possible, as she had a great bond with Janette and family and it was tough for us to find alternative childcare arrangements when our daughter had been so happy at Janette's. In short, Janette has been a tough act to follow. We highly recommend and miss Janette!
