My Summary
About Me
No SPACE AVAILABLE UNTIL September 2026
Hi im Jo, i am ofsted registered,
I have been childminding since 2004, I care for the children i look after with love & understanding, im a very caring person and love to help the children i look after to florish and enjoy everyday with me.
I am first aid trained and have been checked by the criminal records bureau to ensure that i am suitable to work with children.I look after children in a relaxed friendly home setting rather than in a nursery, which many parents prefer as there is more flexibility and feels more personal, I have a playroom that leads onto the garden too.
Although i think routine is important for children to feel secure and happy in there enviroment, i also like everyday to be interesting and exciting for the children in my care.I attend 2 or 3 playgroups a week which the children love as it gives more variety of play,creative play , great for their social skills and they get to mix with larger groups of children , I also take the children to the library group once a week where they listen to stories and join in songs, We often go to local parks and to feed the ducks and soft play too. We meet up with other childminders and their children too so the children will often mix with a large group of children of all different ages too which makes them very sociable.At home we do singing roleplay freeplay amongst other things . i follow the eyfs as do nurserys .
I’m also able to offer the 15 or 30hr funding .
We have 2 dogs one called Jessie who’s 3 and one called Pippa who’s 2 (they are cavapoochons )
Im married to Dave and we have 2 children, Josh 24 and Molly 21

Jo looked after my little boy Lenny from about 15 months old, slightly later than planned due to covid. From the second I met Jo I had no doubt she would be the perfect childminder for us. From the very first day I left Lenny in Jo's care I felt instantly at ease, Jo sent regular updates and photos which left me reassured and meant I could concentrate on work without any worry. Jo treats the children in her care like they are her own and it is clear to see the love and compassion she has for all the children she looks after. Jo takes the children to regular classes, parks, zoo trips, soft plays and so on as well as meeting criteria to prepare the children for school. Lenny loved his time with Jo so much he regularly asks to go back for visits during half terms. Some people are made to shape the lifes of little people and Jo is definately one of those people.

Jo took care of our daughter from 10 months old. We could not wish for a better setting and a better childminder.
Jo takes the kids to days out, to the park, library etc. the kids create such a bond with her and between themselves. Our daughter absolutely loved going to Jo and also developed skills that she wouldn’t get in a big nursery.
This is a warm, safe, fun place for any kid. Highly recommend

The moment I met Jo I knew she was the right person to care for our little girl Chloe. She instantly put us all at ease, this was needed when leaving her at just 7 months old. Chloe was happy to stay with Jo from day one, Jo was amazing at putting her at ease and settling her quickly. For Chloe being with Jo was like a home from home. I was always confident that Chloe was well cared for whilst with Jo.
Jo is attentive and caring to all the children she cares for. She ensures they have activities planned to keep them occupied with is age appropriate to them, and also sets tasks in line with the Early learning frame work which has provided Chloe with the most amazing start for school. I have been asked by the teachers at her school which Nursery she had attended, I have been proud to declare she didn't attend one and all of the skills she has already gained are a credit to Jo. She provided Chloe with all of the skills she needed to embrace school life with confidence.
The environment Jo provides is homely and welcoming. She makes the children feel they are part of the family and they are welcomed by Jo's family members too. Chloe loved her time with Jo and still likes to visit on a regular basis to keep in touch. We as a family feel that Jo has been the best thing for us through all of Chloe's early years, she has not only been great for Chloe but for us too with all of the support she has provided to us when we have needed it.
We cannot recommend Jo highly enough, if you want to know your child is in a loving and caring environment where they will be fully cared for, their needs met, they are stimulated and so you don't have to worry whilst they are away from you then this is the lady to choose!
Finally we would like to thank Jo for everything she has provided to us as a family and for giving Chloe the skills in life she needs to carry forward into the rest of her life. Thanks to you she is excelling in school and creating wonderful friendships.
Thank you from Emma and Mark

Jo has being a huge part of our life’s for many years. She looked after my son and daughter both until school age. Another reviewer said home from home and this is so true. It’s a relaxed safe environment which I recommend to anyone. Jo also makes sure that your children are ready for school.
Both my children absolutely love her and she has helped them create fantastic memories.
Thank you Jo!

My daughter started with Jo when she had just turned 1 years old and I had made the decision to go back to work. The first week that she started was tough and we had a few tears first thing, 5 minutes after dropping her off I would receive a text from Jo saying she's absolutely fine, along with various pictures through the day. During those early stages we relied on family to pick our daughter up so Jo took it upon herself to fill in a diary every single day of what she'd done, what she'd eaten, how long she slept for etc. - This really helped me in the evenings.
Jo always found things to do with the children, they would often go to the park, playgroup or library groups. She also has so many toys and creative items in her house to keep them entertained all day long.
Over the 2 years my daughter was with Jo, there was only 1 day that she messaged me saying she couldn't have Thea and that was simply because her daughter had a sickness bug. I think that just goes to show how committed she is to her job.
My daughter loved every minute with Jo. She started as the youngest and left as the eldest on the days she was there and we were both heartbroken when she had to leave to go to pre-school. Even now that my daughter has started school, Jo still messages asking how she's getting on (that's the type of person she is). She became a good friend and I would often stay to have a chat in the morning.
Leaving your child to go back to work is such a hard decision and Jo made our lives and our decision so much easier by following the way that we parent and never judging our parenting techniques. I honestly could not recommend her enough, she is brilliant with children and an lovely person in general. She has definitely made a lasting impression on our family.
Thank you for everything Jo!
