Shes not just an employee shes a valued friend. I trust her with my children 10000%. Absolutely can not recommend any more highly !

Thank you - lots of love Mummy No2 xx
We enquired with Julia about a childminding space not long after our daughter was born because we wanted to take our time to find the right place for her once she had to start childcare at 11 months. From all options we considered Julia was our first choice: she made us as first-time parents feel at ease straight away and was very friendly and open to answer the many questions we had. Her home felt like the home-away-from-home we wanted to find for our daughter. We were very grateful when she confirmed she had a space available. During the settling in sessions Julia provided us with lots of photos and updates on WhatsApp and a more detailed breakdown of how the day went in conversation on pick-up which reassured us that things were going well. Since then we joined her private Facebook group which updates the parents every evening with photos of the day. We are always looking forward to having a look on there after we pick up our daughter. In addition to taking excellent care of our daughter, Julia got to know her very quickly and has been able to give us some valuable tips based on her experience, for example how to improve naps at home which had been a bit of a struggle before and now work brilliantly. We would fully recommend Julia as a childminder!

Thank you so much - I love how your daughter is settling in and slowly coming out of her shell with us xx
Really welcoming and provides a home from home environment, our little boy loved attending Julias and we would recommend Julia to anyone needing local childcare.

Thank you so much xx
As a first time mum I was extremely anxious leaving my little one for the first time. But as soon as I met Julia I was put at ease. She is amazing with my daughter and I can tell my daughter absolutely loves the days she goes there. I’ve never felt more at ease leaving my daughter with someone. I know she’s in kind, capable, caring hands. I couldn’t recommend Julia enough!!

Thank you 🥰
She’s an absolute treasure!!!
I was so lucky to find Julia after moving to Cross Roads and finally getting my daughter a place at Lees School. Even though my daughter struggles to settle, and I was anxious that she wouldn’t be happy I needn’t have worried, 10 minutes into being with Julia in our settling meeting, she was babbling away to her and asking lots of questions which made my mind up I’d found the one, and I wasn’t wrong. She was so happy, getting to play in the park after school and walk home, most days I had to drag her away at home time as she was enjoying playing games, or tidying up. Not only this Julia was a fantastic support when we were stranded in snow, stepping in with extra care and leaving me stress free knowing she was in good hands until I could get there. Whilst with Julia my little girl grew in confidence and we were so sad the time has come where she had to leave.

Julia is an amazing childminder and always makes sure the kids are happy and loved my daughter loved going there she always came home happy and content. Julia was also very flexible if you had any issues and was going to be late collecting I highly recommended Julia if you are looking for a childminder. Julia felt more like family than a childminder!

Thank you so much 🥰
My daughter has attended Julia’s house for 8 years now. Couldn’t be happier with her service. She always does activities with the children indoors an out (before covid ). She eats healthy foods. She’s had to do a special care package to assist my daughter with her being disabled now but worked around us which is amazing!!
I then ended up in a custody battle for my partners son an she’s also taken him in over night with very little notice an he loves her just as much as my daughter does. I completely trust her and couldn’t ask for more at all she’s amazing. We even call her mummy 2 don’t know how I’d manage without her !! She’s one in a million. Thanks julia

Thank you so much 🥰
I first met Julia 5 years ago at a playgroup I took my daughter to. Straight away I was blown away with how she was with the children in her care! She always got involved with what they were doing and never took her eye’s off any of them.
We got chatting and my daughter got very familiar with Julia and would also play with her too. She was fab and I really wanted my daughter to go to Julia when I returned to work but u fortunately she was full and so I ended up sending her to a local private nursery.
Fast forward on years later I found out I was expecting my second daughter and one of the first things I did was get myself on Julia’s waiting list as there was no way I was missing out on her again! She was fab at organising days,payment contracts etc and is always so efficient! My youngest daughter has been coming for just under a year now and it literally is like her extended family. Julia’s husband,son and daughter are lovely and fab with her and she adores them! I never worry about leaving her in the morning and get regular updates as well as lovely pictures posted on our private group! I even managed to get my older daughter in over the holidays 😊.
I cannot thank her enough for how truly amazing she has been with me and my children and I could not imagine our life’s without her in it! She really is a real life Mary poppin’s and my youngest daughter is absolutely flourishing within her care. They are always going places, being treated and above all they are loved by her. This woman is a god send and we all think the world of her! Thank you for making our life’s that extra bit special Julia ❤️

Julia looked after my daughter for a year. She was fantastic with her. Julia did some amazing craft activities with her and always made lovely gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. My daughter was always happy to go and had an affectionate nickname for Julia. Julia is very kind and caring and treats your children like her own.

Julia's House is an amazing home from home environment with a whole lot of love! My son was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes whilst Julia was his childminder and without hesitation Julia stepped up to learn everything about his care, including administering injections - which we will be eternally grateful for. She made a very difficult situation a whole lot easier for our family, which shows just how much she truly cares for her mindees! I will always without hesitation recommend Julia to anyone in need of a fun, loving and caring home from home childminder.

If I had to describe Julia in a single word it would be ‘ amazing’. I moved home to Haworth after many years away and it was really important to me that my children (aged 4 and 10 at the time) felt comfortable with their carer when I returned to work. Julia’s House has been a real ‘home from home’ for my two boys from their first visit and they both look forward to spending time there.
Julia is always friendly and energetic and her warm nature shines through in the way she interacts with all of the children regardless of age or ability. There are always activities going on at the house with regular trips to the park after school and a wide range of outings during the holidays.
I trust her implicitly and cannot recommend her highly enough, knowing my children were in such capable hands made starting my new job much easier. If you want a professional, caring childminder with endless supplies of energy and a real love of their job you need look no further than Julia!

My 2 boys have been going to Julia for several months now. My youngest who has just turned 1 was instantly settled at her house as she is naturally caring, warm and loving towards him and he appears very happy and contented with her.
My eldest son who is 5 looks forward to going to her house after school as she is happy fun loving and always has plenty of different activities or games to play with them. He always enjoys his time there and frequently doesn't want to leave when I arrive to collect him.
I feel totally at ease sending my children there and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone as I know she has my children's best interest at heart!!

I decided to send my daughter, Bella to Julia as I felt she offered the best of both worlds...mixing with other children as well as having a second mum which is the only way I can describe Julia. She treated Bella as her own, for Bel it was like a home from home.
Bella loved going to Julia's and there wasn't a single day that Julia didn't have the patient to take Bel and any other children she had on the day to do something exciting or different...anything from flying a kite in the park to sledging, Bel did it all with Julia.
I found Julia after observing her at the cafe where I worked. She was a natural with any child she came in with and all this while she wasn't aware she was being watched.
Bella loved her time with Julia, which was about two years all together and the only reason Bel stopped going was because she started school.
I can't recommend Julia enough and as I am currently having my second baby I am happy to state when I return to work after the birth my second child will be going to her too.

Julia is always energetic and enthusiastic, especially first thing in the morning, and takes excellent care of our children. They have always had a fun action packed day whatever the weather and love spending time with her. Julia cares for them as if they were her own and pays attention to their individual needs - my son is dairy allergic. If you need childcare in the area, make Julia your first port of call and you can be confident your children will have an amazing time.

My daughter thinks Julia is the bees knees! Julia has lots of patience and time to give to the children in her care. My daughter always comes home beaming about what they had done, she never wantsto come home! My other daughter also loves julia to bits and always runs to her for a cuddle. Both my girls love her children too.
Its such a friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere and i would recommended Julia to anyone, as you will be put at ease that your children are being well cared for and loved by such a wonderful lady! a real life Mary Poppins :-)
