I am fully qualified, and I am registered as a free-hours funded childcare provider.

Please feel free to get in touch, and come for a free stay and play session.

My Experience

I have worked in childcare full-time since 2004. My past roles have included fostering looked after children, working in a childrenโ€™s home, early years (nursery) care, support work and care for teenagers with autism.

I have certificates in First Aid, Play Work and an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare. I find working with children truly uplifting and enjoy spending time with my grandchildren.

Children benefit from a broad curriculum and strong behavior management in this 'Good'-rated setting. Unique experiences and a focus on language development characterize the provision. Effective safeguarding practices are in place. The environment could be better arranged to promote independent play. Increased parent involvement in assessing and supporting children's learning is recommended to ensure consistent practices at home and in care.

Caring and supportive childminder!

5 stars

From the yummy daily home cooked meals to the educational activities, huge garden full of fun and care/support shown to my daughter, Iโ€™m simply grateful for the time she spent here. Canโ€™t recommend โ€˜Bright Beamsโ€™ enough, my daughter spent about two years here and developed so much with Jeanette help. The staff truly care about the children and create a safe space for them to explore/learn. Thank you again for everything, we both miss you so much! Xx

The most amazing childminder

5 stars

I honestly don't know where to begin. Jeanette is absolutely amazing. My son was so happy attending Bright Beams Nursery. The progress he has made in such a short space if time is outstanding, and that is all thanks to Jeanette.

My son would arrive every morning with a bright smile as he anticipated the day ahead. Jeanette is very focused on your child's needs and is able to cater for all children. The garden is amazing with so many things for the children to explore. On my sons last day, I found myself becoming emotional as I was sad that Ethan was leaving (only as he is now going to Pre-school, otherwise he would still be there) and the bond I develop with Jeanette would be coming to an end.

I would definitely recommend sending your child to Bright Beams and I would definitely use Jeanette's service in the future.

Thank you so much Jeanette
You definitely hold a special place in mine and Ethans heart

Thank you Kayleigh for such a wonderful statement. I am so happy I was able to engage with Ethan he really does want to learn. he is a happy boy. I am so happy I was able to give him so much to explore.

Kayleigh you are more than welcome.

I am sure Ethan is missing us as much as we are missing him. life is full of changes. I hope Ethan enjoys his pre-school experiences.

When pre-Schools are closed Bright ๐Ÿ”† Beams will still be open with a welcoming ๐Ÿค—

Home from home

My son has been looked after Jeanette for over year and has been very happy with her.
Jeanette keeps the children busy with messy play, arts and crafts, baking and outdoor play. Lunch is always a home cooked meal.
My son has made great progress with his speech and I feel he has been growing into a confident little young man with good manners and Jeanette has played a big part in it for sure.
She is very flexible and accommodating even with last minute changes and has taken a lot of stress away from mummy having to leave her little one in childcare.
She truly loves children and has been very caring with my son, I feel they have created a nice little bond.
Only leaving as we are starting nursery.
Thank you Jeanette we will miss you!

Thank you so much for attending attending Bright ๐Ÿ”† Beams. It has been my pleasure to be a part of your son's early year's development. I get the best ideas from the children as I believe they have so much to offer. I am so happy to see how confident and caring he is as he understands and is learning all the time through play.

Warm, Caring, Fun and Safe

5 stars

My son has been going to Jeanette 3 days a week since January 2022.

I am really pleased with the way things have gone. I can see that he enjoys his time there (she sends regular photo updates), and it gives me peace of mind that he is being well looked after.

If anyone wants to get in touch, I'll happily provide a reference for Jeanette.
