I've been childminding for 27years. I have a large summer house which is lovely in the winter as it also gives the children a place to run when the weather is bad. I have a huge selection of toys, craft things and all the electronic paraphernalia that the modern child likes. Our back garden is now a yard which is great for scooters and skateboards, football and chalking. . My service is a home-from-home service with old-fashioned values.

This is the second time my eldest has been to Julie's. First time was about 5 years ago for a 2 year period. And he absolutely loved going every day. Since returning to Julie's 8 months ago, we have been nothing then happy with the service she provides to our children.
My eldest was so excited to hear that julie was going to look after him agian. My children go for a mixture of before and after school session and also my youngest baby for full days.
Julie is absolutely amazing human being. She is supper supportive, knowledgeable, thoughtful, flexible and we would be lost without her kindness. She and her Partner Barry love to keep us parents updated throughout the day on the children's activities and they go the extra mile to make sure the children are entertained; with lots of creative activities, toys, lots adventurous walks in the woods, visits e.g. farms, bishops palace, soft play and additional trips to local activities withing the area.
I had absolutely had no doubt about sending my children. As we know 100% that we had made the right choice. Both my children love the time they spend with Julie and Barry. They have made many new friends.
If you are looking for quality childcare with a safe and fun environment, stop because you've found it. I would 100% recommend Julie and Barry, they are brillant childcare providers. Thank you for everything you do Julie and Barry M&G Marchant
My son and daughter have been looked after by Julie since my son started school 6 years ago. Julie is extremely reliable: not only has she always been there to pick up/drop off from school, provide play time, activities, food, Julie us extremely flexible and understanding and will always do her best to accommodate any request as well as making it special for the children during times of celebration i.e. birthdays, holidays etc. In my experience, this is very rare. Julie genuinely cares about the children she looks after - their well being, happiness and interests. I highly recommend Julie and her wonderful childminding service.

Thank you Marina for your review.. I do wonder where the time goes ? Your children are a credit to you both and a delight to look after , always polite and well mannered.
I alway try to help each and everyone of you it's family minding not just childminding , as I say to the children team work is dream work ..

Julie looks after my two year old full time and my 5 year old before and after school. The children love it at Julies who always goes the extra mile to ensure the kids are having fun. Birthdays, Christmas and the school holidays are always jam packed with fun activities. There is ample space for the kids to play inside and outside and plenty of animals to keep them entertained too. Julie helped to home school my 5 year old when the schools closed and really helped him progress with his learning. It really is a great environment for kids to play and learn.

Thank you Clodagh , homeschooling was an experience 😱
However I am super proud of how hard your young man worked during lock down ..I’m not sure who was more excited with the three or four light bulb moments during our learning journey together .
Both of your children are beautiful confident young people whom I love dearly ..

Being a police officer, I find it extremely hard to trust anyone and when I was looking for a flexible childminder that I could trust my child with, I found Julie. My daughter has been with Julie for 10 months now and absolutely loves going to the point she doesn't even say goodbye to me anymore! She is looked after beautifully, kept entertained all day, is taught lovely manners and table manners. Julie respects your views as a parent and is always there to give great, experienced advice. Julie's home is my daughters second home, she feels comfortable and happy there and she truly is part of the child minding family unit that Julie has built. Julie also has been amazing working around my shift pattern which was a huge worry for me as Nurserys did not accommodate at all. Overall, I could not have asked for a better person to look after my daughter.

Thank you Briony for such a lovely review .. 10 months where oh where did that go 🤷♀️
we’ve worked hard as a team to crack sleeping .. which was a massive achievement on your behalf for believing in my advice, it was so incredibly hard for you both ..
Your very energetic young lady is a real character to whom I love dearly .. it’s been a challenging time during lock down not being able to go far , however I don’t feel the children have suffered . Looking forward to potty training very soon .. 😬

Julie was a childminder for my children for 5 years. The care that she provided to my children was comprehensive. I never had to worry about my children because I knew they had the best care possible. I am Julie extremely grateful for how she raised my children while I was working. Always open to suggestions, comments or insights. Julie offers a warm, friendly and open home to every child who is treated individually. I owe Julie a lot and recommend to every parent who is looking for professional care
