Jay is one of the most caring, understanding, educated and fully-hands-on childminder I have ever met, who knows exactly what she is doing. I sent my 1-year-old daughter to Jay's care for two years and I watched how my daughter flourished during her care. Jay is highly educated in childcare and she is regularly in contact with the wider relevant childminders network group(s). She has her own two lovely children and has great family dynamics and house settings. I believe these are a combination of qualities that not all childminders can provide, and I think this combination of qualities makes what Jay can offer unique and highly valuable. As a first-time-Mum I think I would have struggled during the challenging times of my daughter's developmental journey without Jay e.g. toilet training, eating habits, social and non-social skills etc. Me and my husband felt very lucky to be able to find Jay as the first childminder for our first child. She not only cared for our child but provided us with guidance and advice and so made things easy for us where it could have been more challenging and uncertain. Above all she is a very trustworthy person, and with no doubt this is the most important feeling for any parent leaving their children in other people's care.
