Joanna has been providing brilliant after school care for my son (6 years) since January 2012. She collects him from school twice a week, and either takes him to her home or to a play center. She is energetic and enthusiastic, welcoming him into her home, and looking after his needs extremely well. Along with her own children, they do all sorts of activities, including cooking and trips out, playing ourdoors and inside, planting seeds, playing pirates and much more... When they are home he is fed a home-made tea, which he loves.

Her home is well equipped for chidren, and she knows the local area well. The activities she has done with Joe are carefully chosen with him in mind, whether highly active or more restful - and she also checks with me before doing anything more unusual.
I warmly recommend her as a childminder.
