Our child loved Julie

I returned to work in July 2020 just as the lockdown beginning to be lifted. It was an incredibly nerve racking time for me and my husband. Julie made us feel welcome and at ease as she has processes place to keep the children safe.

My little boy loved going to Julie. She was so loving and caring towards him, he would jump straight out of my arms in to hers in the morning. This made me feel so much more comfortable going back to work.

My little boy has allergies (milk, egg and soya) and Julie took care to make sure he never had any issues. Despite most places being closed during lockdown Julie would play with him all day and do lots of arts and crafts which he loved.

I would recommend Julie to anyone.

Outstanding

Julie is an amazing childminder, such a warm loving and caring lady, my one year old daughter has the pleasure of spending the days with Julie when I’m in work, I can go to work relaxed knowing she is receiving outstanding care. I couldn’t recommend Julie enough, she cares for my daughter as if she was one of her own, balancing playtime and learning perfectly.

Highly recommended

When you are working full time, it's important your child is left with someone you can trust and who will look after your child as if they are one of their own. I highly recommend Julie because this is how I felt when I left my daughter with her. I could get on with my job knowing my daughter's needs were being met. Julie is a very caring and naturally nurturing lady so childminding comes easily to her. My daughter enjoyed time spent with Julie. She provided a range of activities indoors and made sure there was always time for outdoor play and exercise too. My daughter is at school full time now but always asks about Julie. In fact, whenever, we drive by Julie's house she always excitedly shouts 'there's Julie's house'. She loves to stop and chat to Julie if we are out and about too. If you are feeling nervous about leaving your child, I can highly recommend Julie. She will always put the needs of your child first and will listen to any concerns or worries you may have. She is a lovely person to know and I'm so glad we found her.

Summer holiday childcare for SEN child

Julie was our hero in 2019! We had been looking for a childminder to look after our 8 year old little boy with learning difficulties and special needs and struggling to find someone, then a friend recommended Julie. We contacted Julie and from speaking on the phone we instantly knew she would be perfect to look after our little boy. For the first time in years our little boy had no anxiety issues being left with a childminder, he was happy, having lots of adventures and fun with Julie. We could not have asked for a better person to look after him. Julie really made our lives so much easier and took our little boy under her wing like he was her own. She really is amazing and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you Julie x

My kids loved being in her care

Julie is a great childminder. She would play with and entertain my kids so much it was hard to get them to pack up an go home when it was time to. She would also help with some after school reading as I worked long awkward hours. she would also take them on some trips out to play centres or mum and tots groups. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a childminder as she is caring, professional , welcoming and warm-hearted. Her home is lovely and her family are just as good with the children too. My kids are a little older now and have good memories of being in her care, that if seen out about they love to tell her how they are doing in school now. Julie is much more than just a someone to watch your children she will be a good friend too.

Absolute asset

Such a lovely professional lady, who embraces all the children in her care as if they were her own family. Every need is tended to with compassion and care. Rules and boundaries are balanced with fun and challenge in an impeccable home where children feel they belong. She displays outstanding practice and deals with any requests or problems with sensitivity and confidentiality. An absolute asset to our children’s lives and early experiences

Couldn’t wish for anyone better!

Julie looked after my baby boy from him being 9 months old! He was born at 25 weeks and I worried about putting him into nursery and mixing with other kids due to his health problems. Julie was amazing! She contributed to Jaxons growth and development massively, always socialising at tots groups, drawing, painting, singing, he was never unhappy in Julies care. She would keep me updated with regular pics so I could be involved in his daily activities.

Julie by far is the best childminder in our area. Would fully recommend for anyone struggling putting their baby into nursery, or anyone needed before & after school care.

The most generous, loving, humble lady I know, one I a million

Amazing professional lovely lady

Where to start explaining this incredible childminder. Julie looked after my daughter from 6 months old. My daughter is now 7, and she has such fond memories of her time spent with Julie. She still gets very exited everytime she sees her whilst we’re out and about. Once a ofsted worker myself, I know exactly what a high standard a childminder should be working at. Julie is of the highest standard. She is so professional. Has all the relevant training and certificates, Communicates and Interacts with the children well, has a lovely home with toys,activities and resources for all of the children. And most importantly to me, she is the most caring, kindest, warmest person. She adores every child she cares for and they all adore her equally. I knew my child was in safe hands everyday. If your looking for a childminder in this area. Julie is your lady. I can not recommend enough. Thank you
