Jillyjays's Reviews

Home from home

Jill is an amazing childminder. Both my children have been under the Jill's care and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She cares for our children as she would her own. Always out and about, doing activities or going to groups. I know that if my daughter is sad, Jill will always be there for a cuddle when I can't be.

Fabulous setting

I cannot recommend Jill & Kim enough. They have a genuine passion for children, with all the right attributes being caring, loving, patient and full of attention.

Jill’s house is the perfect setting which has been adapted perfectly for little ones. They are both extremely accommodating, flexible and 100% reliable. They really do go above and beyond their duties as childminders.

Both our children have loved going there. They have so much fun and I have always been amazed at all the different activities they do and all the different arts and crafts they bring home always amazes me.

I feel so grateful to have found Jillyjays. I remember how anxious we were as parents when we sent our first child. But we were so happy with everything that we were more than happy to send our second. And now we have just had our third we are certainly hoping to do the same. We are so grateful for both of their warmth, generosity, love and attention towards our children and look forward to many more years of having such fabulous childminders.

Amazing

Jill and kim are trustworthy, caring, supportive, creative and reliable! Our son has had an incredible few years at jillyjays. He has made so much progress since the age of 11months and has enjoyed being with his additional family. The activities that they do every day are engaging and catered for their individual needs. Our son has additional needs and could completely trust Jill and kim to care for him and ensure he was always happy.

Lovely Setting.

I used JillyJay's with my little girl. I was very very nervous as a first time Mum about leaving her at 8 months old. Jill and Kim were so lovely and supportive. They provide a homely environment which was tailored to all ages. I was sad to have to leave due to relocating :(

Excellent childcare service☆☆☆☆☆

I've been very pleased with the progress of my child. Jill and Kim provide excellent care in a homely environment. Great resources, well informed parents, regular feedback, reports, comments about child progression. My daughter joined Jillyjays shortly after she turned 1 year. Now she is 2 and we've never had a problem with her going to the service. Both ladies are very welcoming and caring so the kids could feel like at home. I could see how much my daughter has learnt there. Only 2 years old but very independent, sociable, talkative. Jill and Kim raised my standards and expectations of a childminder service. Now I know how to recognise a great, outstanding care. If not the fact that we're moving area, I would definitely continue with Jillyjays.

Fantastic

We have been extremely happy with the care that our son has received at Jillyjays. It is a friendly and happy environment – welcoming, clean, well organised with a wonderful, well-stocked and dedicated playroom. Jill and Kim are fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for better childminders. They are so patient, caring and friendly and our son loves them. We immediately knew we‘d made the right decision.

Our son thoroughly enjoys the days he spends at Jillyjays. There is such a wide range of toys and activities and always an opportunity to play outside. The weekly and termly themes are well considered and have a positive impact on his learning.

In the time that he has been attending (18 months), our son has made brilliant progress in all areas of development.
His social skills have developed over time through play. He has a nice set of friends that he talks about and responds to. He is a confident boy that asks questions about the world and has a great sense of fun. We believe the time spent at Jillyjays has enhanced this through the activities he has participated in.

Would absolutely recommend Jillyjays.

Fab, fab, fab

Would recommended Jilljays to anyone, such a brilliant setting. We are so lucky to have not one but two lovely ladies looking after my 4 year old boy and 1 year old girl. Feel totally confident leaving my children in their very capable, friendly and fun care. The setting is lovely and the kids have a great time. Jill is very helpful and puts you at ease, which is what you need when you are leaving your precious babies.
A brilliant childminders and we feel very lucky to of found their care for our children.

Excellent, Highly Recommended

My son has been going to Jill and Kim since he was 13 months old and loves it. He is so happy and will very much miss going when he starts at the local preschool in September.
His development is very good. He enjoys the food and the social side with his friends. People comment on how well he is developed he is for hos age. Have decided to send his younger brother in September to help with his development and social skills.

Excellent childcare

My 4 year old and 2 year old are currently cared for by Jill and Kim. They are so happy there and have so much fun! We had a very bad experience with a previous childminder so it was very reassuring that my children settled in so quickly and were cared for with such love and attention.

I can not rate them highly enough!

Jillyjays is wonderful

My daughter currently goes to Jillyjays and loves it! I can not rate the care she receives there any more highly. I was very apprehensive about sending my daughter to a childminder but needn't have been. Jill is very flexible and always accommodates my last minute requests!

I would highly recommend Jillyjays, it's a fantastic setting!

Wonderful setting

Thanks to Jilly and her wonderful relaxed setting my children were happy immediately allowing my husband and I to move house and continue to work. Jilly has always been flexible to our needs especially at short notice.

The very best

I dont have enough words to praise Jill. I was impressed the first time I went for a visit. She takes personal care in bringing up the children. My children love their time at Jilly Jays.

Excellent childminder

I can not rate Jill highly enough as a childminder.

My son has been with Jill for just under a year and half and he thoroughly enjoys it. He is always happy to go to Jill's and we are happy in the knowledge that she takes excellent care of him.

Jill will often go out of her way to accommodate. In addition the environment and activities she provides the children are first class.

I know how stressful it can be deciding who should care for your precious little one, however Jill made this an easy decision for us and we have not regretted it for one minute.

I would rate Jill as outstanding.

Wonderful childminder

Jill looked after my son from 9 months to 3.5 years when we moved away. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough. She made going back to work so much easier as I knew my son was so happy with her.

She runs a safe, caring and fun environment for the children with home cooked meals every day. All the children she had in her care were always so happy which was a real reflection of Jill and the care she provided.

She is extremely reliable, I don't think she had a day sick in the whole time we were with her. She was also incredibly flexible and always did anything she could to fit in with my working hours.

If we hadn't have moved we would definitely still be with her.

Thanks Jill.

Jill is great

Jill has been my childminder for nearly 5 years. Both she and her family are great. Both my children have thoroughly enjoyed being in Jill's care and I have made a great friend in Jill.

She understands each individual childs needs and caters for them. Her home cooked food is fab.

I cannot praise Jill enough and am sad that due to my redundancy Jill is no longer looking after my 2 "adorable" children. Although we do still regularly meet up for play days.

Jill's primary care is always the children which is why I selected a childminder over a nursery. A decision I am always glad I made.
Thx Jill X
