My Summary
About Me
Currently Full till August/ September 20225
The space available in September 2025 would be for 4 full days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
I am an agency registered childminder that has been rated as outstanding 3 years in a row. My last inspections was July 2024
I have 3 children of my own, 2 girls aged 13 and 8, and a little boy aged 4. I live in New Haw, Surrey with my husband Paul who is a Deputy Head Teacher in a North London Prep school. We are a typical family who loves spending time together, making memories and the most of what life has to offer. My home is a warm, loving, spacious and playful environment that we share with our dog and cat. After having experienced first hand the challenges of finding good childcare, being a working parent and doing the daily commute for many years, I finally decided to set up ACE Home Nursery.
I provide a warm, loving home from home environment where your child can learn through play based activities and fun.
I closely follow the EYFS frame work and truly believe that a child’s development within the early years is vital in helping them succeed in the future. I am extremely passionate about helping children grow and develop to the best of their abilities whilst having fun and being themselves.
I am part of an Ofsted registered childminder agency and I truly believe in their ethos, to that end I provide children with a more play based learning environment, where I can give each child the time and attention they deserve.
I offer activities such as baking, messy play, outdoor activities, music, free play, and arts & crafts, (no two days are the same here!).
We also take regular trips to local playgroups, Library, parks, Horsell common, Wisley Gardens, Painshill Park and many more of the local attractions around me.
I take the children out on a daily basis and believe that being out and about, experiencing a number of different places and activities, helps children learn and understand the world around them. It also helps them build the social, emotional and educational skills they will need in the future.
In addition to full and part time childminding I offer both before school and after school care to and from West Byfleet Nursery, Infant and Junior school.

I couldn’t think of anyone better to look after our little boy! Jo is unbelievably welcoming, friendly and so amazing with our little one.
Her loving and caring nature is exactly what we want for our little boy.
Her home nursery is truly inspiring and she always puts the children’s best interests and learning at the heart of everything does.
Her home makes for a great learning through play environment, I would highly recommend Jo and can safely say your children will love it there!
