After feeling nursery was not a suitable option for our 9 month old daughter, we managed to find Jo and knew right away she was just what we were looking for. We wanted our baby to have more one on one care rather than being in a room of 20 or so other children and she absolutely thrived. Being with a couple of other children under Jo’s care was wonderful for her development and she left to go to nursery at 3 with so much confidence in herself and her abilities.
When pregnant with our second child, Jo was an obvious choice for us and as with our daughter, he has absolutely thrived in her loving, home environment.
Both were always so happy to be there, with plenty of stimulation, whether that was dancing, singing, messy crafts being in the garden or going to the park to feed the ducks. Learning all about bugs and having butterflies in the garden have all been amazing activities which have really shaped their personalities. Jo is great at ensuring the children also work on skills around developing independence and it’s always lovely to see them come home and do things they have learned whilst in Jo’s care.
We’ve loved having Jo as our childminder and would absolute recommend her services. Having someone you can trust to take the best care of your child is more important than anything as any parent knows, and we always felt we could trust Jo 100%. It’s a huge weight lifter when returning to work!
