Jo is a fantastic childminder! My daughter is now 5 and has been going to Jo’s since she was 1. My daughter really looks forward to the days/after school pick-ups when she goes to Jo’s – she offers an incredibly safe, happy and creative family environment for her to be in and she has thrived being there. I have no doubt that it was in part thanks to Jo that my daughter’s transition to school was so seamless – I saw how she grew in confidence socialising with others within the safe and caring environment offered at Jo’s.

Jo does a huge variety of fantastic activities with the children and organises lovely outings and events with other childminders in the village so my daughter got to know other children who go to the local school which she wouldn’t have done otherwise which was great. Jo also took the children out on trips further afield (for e.g. Tyntesfield) which my daughter absolutely loved.

Jo’s communication is fantastic and she is incredibly approachable and friendly and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
