Joanna has been childminding for us for almost 2.5 years. Our son is heading for school in a few weeks and when we reflect upon his time with Joanna we know 100% what a good choice that was. She is great with kids and parents alike. She mixes it up with the activities and the kids bring home innovative arts and crafts corresponding to various events throughout the year. Her whole family get involved with looking after the children in some form or another, and the kids really benefit from that. Our son has brilliant vocabular, a good grasp of numbers and alphabet and has been very happy there. We are sorry in many ways that this is coming to an end, but time marches on and children grow! Because her house is so close to the park it is a very healthy outdoorsy experience come hail, rain or shine, and their dog is just adorable - and brilliant with little children. What's not to love here! Joanna is an absolute keeper.
