Jo looked after our little boy for a year, We was SO sad to pull him out but it was only down to having another baby and a change of plan with me not going back to work, so for more financial reasons.
Being a lockdown baby our little man is never without me or his Daddy, so going to Jo was huge for him as he rarely is left with grandparents either, but he absolutely loved going with her and on their adventures, Jo takes them out all the time, and if she doesn’t they are always so busy at her house, she has a beautiful home with a wonderful garden and lots of lovely clean toys to keep the children busy.
Nothing looks tired or run down like some other settings I’ve seen.
I was always reluctant to use childminders as my eldest always went to a nursery and I thought they was better but I was so wrong, it’s a home from home, even her girls were really good with my son. I will also say Jo is absolutely fantastic at taking them out and they all behave and listen to her in public and I would say it massively helped our little one when we take him out especially with things like holding hands.
She also keeps you updated throughout the day with pictures on what they’ve been up to, and it’s lovely to see and used to make my day whilst I was working.
Another lovely touch is the fact she goes the extra mile for their birthdays & Christmas’s with a little gift when she doesn’t have to!
We will miss sending Finn to Jo immensely, she’s an incredible trustworthy childminder and your children will be extremely lucky to have her looking after them xx
