My son has recently started going to Jophi, at first I was very nervous about taking him as he’s never been to a child minder before.
It was the best decision I have made, he absolutely loves it there, Jophi is so kind and welcoming every time we drop our son off and pick him up, I know when I drop him off he is certainly well looked after.

My little daughter was not settling in very well in nursery and when we decided to look for child minder, Jophi is the first and only child minder we have visited at that time. My daughter was not very vocal before going to Jophi's and she started saying lot many words soon after she started going to her. Her reading skills are so good and credit to Jophi for that. Jophi would always go above and beyond for the children. She has lot many innovative ideas for all the kids. Her themed based actitives are so good and my daughter learnt lot from those. I truly enjoyed getting my daughter's pictures and videos during her days at Jophi's. Jophi's place is my daughter's home away from her home and I can peacefully work when she is at Jophi's.Thank you Jophi (an ever smiling lady) and family for everything. I would highly recommand Jophi :)

I cannot recommend Jophi highly enough. I was extremely picky when choosing a childminder for my daughter and turned down several. As soon as we met Jophi and her family we knew we had found our perfect childminder. She makes every child feel unique and valued. My daughter has so much fun with Jophi who is so kind and caring. Jophi is so genuine and a special person. I will be genuinely sad when my daughter soon leaves her care to start school. I have already booked my 6 week old son to start with her next year! Jophi and her family have become part of our family and we feel extremely lucky to have found her.

I have never used a childminder but as soon as we met Jophi and her family, my husband and I instantly felt comfortable and happy to leave our son in her care. Jophi is kind, caring and nurturing. She provides a 'home away from home'. Jophi has given me peace of mind, knowing my son is happy and well looked after when i am at work, invaluable. I would highly recommend Jophi to anyone who needs/wants the best childcare. I have already reserved a place for my second child!

After my maternity leave was over and I had to return back to work, I had initially put my son in a decent ofsted rated nursery. But he was very sad every single day and never settled in the nursery even after a few months. We used to be worried leaving him in the nursery and would never be at peace during work.
Thats when Jophi came to our rescue!!
She gently transitioned him from being a quiet and shy boy to a fully active, energetic and confident child who can now speak, sing and play games confidently.
She everyday sends loads of pictures of the child doing activities which would enlighten our mood every single time and make us feel like we are present with our children.
Jophi makes every single day super fun for the child including celebrating festivals, book day dressup, sand play, painting, reading and park visits.
My son would surely miss the 1st and best teacher of his life. Thankyou Jophi we are ever grateful to you, for helping us raise our son Jayden. :)

Jophi looked after my son from 12 months to 21 months. She has been a true joy to work with by providing regular photo updates and daily diaries, and being accommodating to our needs and requests - and always with good humour and a sense of fun. Her activities with the children have been brilliant including crafts, messy play, dressing up and role play. She has been wonderful for my son's confidence and his verbal and social development, and she has fostered his relationships with her other mindees and also her two children who have been brilliant with him.

As parents of two young children, we needed to find affordable and reliable childcare. We met with a couple of childminders but never found the "right one" until we met Jophi. As soon as we did, we instantly knew our daughters would be cared for like they were part of Jophi's family, who are all extremely kind, loving and everything we could have hoped for. I know that our family will never forget you, your family and the good memories. You will be missed a lot!

My son has just spent three years being looked after by Jophi and her lovely family. I was new to childminding when I initially started thinking about child care for my son. I made a few visits to local childminders but after spending time with them we simply didn't click. I was about to give up searching for a childminder and then I found Jophi on this site and I definitely made the right decision.
When I first met up with Jophi and her family, I was overwhelmed by her caring and fun nature. She is compassionate, professional and creates a stimulating educational environment for children. Both Jophi and George have two lovely children that are extremely lively, friendly and are great role models for younger children to aspire to.
It's tough going to work each day and leaving your children, however I always felt happy doing this knowing my little boy was with Jophi having a great time. I also enjoyed checking out all the photos she sends throughout the day.
Jophi did not take any sick days and she did not cancel any days due to other reasons. She only had one short holiday break over Christmas and was very reliable and accommodating to all of my needs.
Over the past three years my son has had an amazing time doing every day things with Jophi and her family. I can not recommend her enough and I am glad that she played such an active role in his development.
I will miss getting show and tell items ready on a Monday night and will obviously miss Jophi.

My son has loved his time with Jophi. He is kept very busy and entertained every day and has made some lovely friends. Jophi is always happy, very approachable and willing to assist when extra days are needed. Jophi is always fair in her approach and also takes child safety very seriously. I would highly recommend Jophi for anyone looking for a child minder and she will be missed when my son starts school in September. Thank you Jophi!

My daughter has been going to Jophi for nearly 2 years now and we wouldn't think of going any where else.
Since going to Jophi's, my daughter's speech has come on so much, she's coming out with new words all the time. Always got a new song to sing to us and a story to tell!
Jophi makes my daughter feel so welcome in her home and is so helpful and kind to her, I've never once worried about leaving my daughter for the day because I know she will be looked after so well.
Although my daughter will be going to school this year, I look forward to my son going to Jophi and to watch him learn as much as my daughter has.
Jophi has so many different things for the children to do, both inside and out. My daughter will come home with pictures and drawings that she has done throughout the day, and stories of making houses for the insects and recycling!
My daughters favourite thing to do at Jophi's house is show and tell. Each week my daughter will ask if its time for show and tell, finding something of hers to take for that week - helping her learn the alphabet.
I cannot recommend Jophi enough to anyone who asks about where my daughter goes, she ready is fantastic!!

Day 1 here:I had to leave my kid crying at Home 2 Home, that was his first stay with a child minder.Within no time this place has become his most favorite one.
He enjoyed the stay and learned a lot as well, Improvement in eating habits and communication was very clearly visible after he started being in Home 2 Home.
I am pretty impressed by the 'Daily dairy' provided to us which has the details of what he had, how the day went, what all activities done and highlights of the day along with few pretty pics.
Most imp thing about Jophi and George, these people are so cool and more like family than childminders, they have taken care of my son to the best.
I am sure my kid will remember them for long time though it was just a 3 months stay for him here.

As the name says, this place is a home away from home for our 2 year old daughter. She got settled within two days and for the last 4 months she is being taken care by Jophi and her family during day hours(8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday) .
My daughter just loves going to Jophi's place and she gets lot to play and learn from there. We are amazed in our daughters overall development and knowledge gain in a short 4 month period. Jophi takes children to nearby park, library and make them involved in many creative activities.The best part, we get timely updates through Whatsapp as videos, images and messages all through the day and we don't feel our baby is away from us.
Jophi provides various food flavors and varieties in the menu. Cleanliness and general hygiene maintained at the settlement is commendable.
The very first time we visited the family, we could meet four smiley faces filled with positive energy, and in this four months the smiles just got wider :)

My two children, one year old boy and three year old girl both attended Home 2 Home ChildCare. It was the first time that my son was away from home. If you are looking for not only first class childcare, but genuine, sincere childminders in a loving & caring environment then make Home 2 Home your first choice. Both of my children settled in very quickly, they never wanted to leave when I collected them at the end of the day. The setting is very spacious, offering both inside and outside play areas, with ample toys for the children to free play. The meals provided are cooked fresh daily and snacks are all very nutritional. The learning journey provided was fantastic because not only was I able to discuss what my children has been up to with Jophi or George, I could also read about it at my leisure. Jophi is always so positive and upbeat, creating a fun and educational environment for the children to play, learn and grow. A collection service to and from my home to theirs was agreed at an additional cost, this was such an eminence help to is at the time and made it so much easier to balance the whole work, children life challenges we face. I can not recommend this ChildCare setting enough, new to the area and not having any recommendations to go on, I truly struck it lucky, Home 2 Home ChildCare our saving grace.

Jophi was the childminder worth waiting for.
Having met with a few childminders and arranged care with some only to be cancelled last minute, it was clearly for a reason - to meet Jophi.
Jophi and her family are incredibly warm, loving and fun.
Jophi has catered for our child care needs from the word go and has been very supportive. I love receiving pictures of my children throughout the day to see what they're up to and importantly, as the occasional emotional mother I can be, there smiling happy faces.
Jophi has a great range of activites from books to ride on cars, but what I'm most impressed with (and jealous of) is the Quad buggy!
There's not a week gone by where Jophi hasn't taken them to a park or soft play or encouraged creativity.
Jophi cooks and feeds my children so well, I never fear if my little darlings play up at breakfast...in fact, maybe that's why they do!
I feel like this is more than a childcare arrangement, a friendship as well for both the children and us.

Our son has been in Jophie's care for about about 9 months since he was a little over 3 yrs old.
Jophie made our son feel welcome from the very first day.
She has been very professional in her approach discussing and catering to the needs and wants of our child.
She's been doing a lot of fun & learning activities that have been enjoyed by our son and appreciated by us.
Jophie has been giving a proper, detailed update of what our son did throughout the day via a communication book which gave us a very good insight and helped ease our worries related to our sons well being during the day.
Jophies home is wonderfull where the entire house is a huge play room with lots of toys. It also has a huge backyard with little slide and outdoor toys for little ones.
Jophie's child care has been very much like its name "Home2Home" where our son has had a fantastic time with Jophie & her own two kids and we have been happy and releived to send our son in Johpie's care.
Thank you Jophie.

Jophi looked after our son full time for 3 months in 2014. Leaving our precious child in the hands of a stranger is always a hard thing to do, but Jophi made this a little bit easier.
Jophi and her family received him there as a member of their family. We were welcome with a big smile every morning and he was really missed when sick at home.
Jophi was always supportive of us as full-time working parents which made life a lot easier, as did knowing our little one was safe in a family environment. She helped us through finger food issues in a calm and professional manner that demonstrates the experience she has with toddlers. Our son especially enjoys the outdoor play, so she was able to provide a safe garden and trips to park. Given that her family is multilingual, she was very supporting and understanding of our bilingual home environment.
To us as parents, Jophi has always been open about any problems or observations and she kept a very clear line of communication, she was always available to talk to whether by phone or email. She is reliable, accommodating and trustworthy.
I would gladly recommend her to any parent who is looking for a high standard of childcare. We’d like to thank Jophi for looking so well after our son.
