Jasmine has looked after our daughter 3-days a week since October 2023. Upon first meeting we immediately felt a great rapport! Jasmine is so friendly, she has a beautiful home that's clean & organised, there is a dedicated playroom filled with toys and a huge garden for the little ones to run around in.
Each day is full of fun and activity. They visit playgroup most days, venture to local parks, Jasmine also takes the children on days out into London, to the theatre, the zoo, and at Christmas they visited Santa Claus! Jasmine is brilliant getting the children involved in arts and crafts, every week we receive all sorts of artwork and it’s fantastic to see what they have been creating.
Jasmine's experience and wealth of knowledge has helped hugely first-time parents - guiding us through gentle sleep training methods, removing the dummy, and speech development.
We have a communal What’s App group with the other parents which is a lovely way to connect and get to know the other families- who have now become friends! Jasmine uses this group to share photos and updates from the day.
Jasmine gives the children home-cooked meals every day, she also regularly takes the children’s temperature and will post reminders of any sickness symptoms to look out for.
Our daughter has a place in nursery in September but we are so sad to leave, we would recommend Jasmine to any other parent, and really hope to keep in touch!!

We feel very lucky to have found Jasmine, she has looked after our daughter 4 days a week for nearly a year, and she loves it there. She has a wonderful space and environment in her home, with a large playroom with plenty of toys, and a spacious enclosed garden for kids to run around too. As a home from home setting, we got to know Jasmine's family as well and our daughter adores them! Jasmine takes the kids out and about, whether on trips to the zoo, to see Santa, elstree aerodrome, soft play or more locally to playgroups, walks around the village to see the horses, or to the play park. She provides a nutritious lunch, dinner and snacks every day, and accommodated our vegetarian diet, even going so far as to try and make sure that our daughter's meal was similar to the other children so she didn't feel left out.
She keeps us updated with what they've been doing at drop off and pick up and with regular photos throughout the week. She's also great at supporting us with parenting hacks, potty training and how to handle challenging behaviour.
One of the things we really appreciated about Jasmine, was her willingness to try things out, such as reusable nappies and early potty training.
Our daughter blossomed and her confidence really grew under Jasmine's care and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. We sadly had to move on as we now have a son now as well and unfortunately she didn't have space for both of them.

Jasmine looked after my daughter from age 2-3 who had severe separation anxiety from being in lockdown for over half her life. Jasmine reassured my daughter (and me) and made her feel safe and loved. She is fun, goes on fantastic trips like the Zoo, visits to see Santa at Christmas, playgroups, parks and museums and is home from home, which was really important to us. My daughter absolutely loves Jasmine and her family. She is always telling us stories about her time with Jasmine. We are going to miss her so much and are only leaving as my daughter starts nursery in September. I really hope we keep in touch.

Our daughter was in Jasmine’s care from the age of one and she gave her the best start we could ask for, introducing her to new skills and providing a loving and warm environment. Jasmine helped our daughter to learn to walk, supported us through potty training and made sure she was both challenged and happy.
She was always a delight for us to deal with, was flexible, encouraging, and we looked forward to seeing her at pick up and drop off each day. We really appreciated the warm, family environment she provided and the extra love and attention our daughter got from her kids.
We cant recommend Jasmine highly enough.

Jasmine looked after our son from the age of 7 months old until we had to move away when he was 2y 9mo. We were really sad to leave her.
Jasmine is warm, kind and firm and our son loved being with her. Whether it was at home, playing with all of her different toys and books, out and about at their regular play groups and soft play or going on adventures to the theatre and to see Father Christmas.
Her home, and her family, are lovely and welcoming and our son was really happy there. He developed so well with her help, from walking and talking to potty training and being independent with dressing himself. She’s really helped us with all of those milestones as well. With advice and encouragement.
Our son can be a bit of a fussy eater but Jasmine has persevered with offering him healthy options and teaching him good habit, sitting to eat meals with the other children.
He seems to be settling into his nursery really well and we put a lot of that down to Jasmine’s kind and consistent care. He really flourished with her and we all really miss her, her family and the other children.
We’d highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone to care for their child.

My daughter started with Jasmine when she was 15months old where she looked after her one day a week. She has a lovely family home and my daughter always felt very welcome and well cared for. She really enjoyed all her home cooked meals and loved interacting with the rest of Jasmine’s family. It was very reassuring to know she was always in such a safe and experienced pair of hands.

Jasmine cared for my son two days a week for 2 years, from when he was 9 months old.
Jasmine and her family provide a warm, caring and structured environment with lots of play, fun outings and good food.
Jasmine is knowledgable, reliable, firm, kind and smiley.
My son was really happy with her and developed beautifully in her care - what more could you ask?

Our daughter has been with Jasmine for nearly 2 years, starting when she was 7 months old, we are very happy with her childcare.
Our daughter settled in nicely thanks to Jasmine's care and she's always been happy there. She is from an international background, with two different foreign languages at home. Her not speaking English when she stated has never been an issue at all, Jasmine has gone out of her way to support her in learning English, and even got bilingual toys and books to help her feel as comfortable as possible.
Jasmine, now together Claire, are full of energy and provide a great range of activities, bringing the kids to playgroups in the mornings, crafts, singing, small world, books, etc. We felt the combination of playgroup and at home (with the outside space) was a great setting bringing the best of nursery-like and home-like environments.
They also go on fun outings like the aquarium and fruit picking in summer. Our daughter comes back with crafts for all occasions, and we can see she really enjoys it and is proud of having made them. She also has a best friend there that she's always happy to see and play with.
From 7 months to over 2 years old Jasmine has accompanied her during her development, we can see she knows the kids really well. We feel confident that our kid is being very well looked after, we are happy to have found Jasmine.

My daughter has been in childcare with Jasmine 4 days a week since she was 11 months old.
Jasmine and Claire provide a brilliant childcare service, with a child friendly house and garden with lots of brilliant toys and weekly playgroup outings and other activities. I always feel confident leaving my daughter with Jasmine and Claire as she seems to have a brilliant time and they always make fantastic meals for them (probably better than the meals I make her myself!).
I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend

Jasmine has looked after our son since I returned to work when he was 1. She had a great approach to settling in and he adjusted very quickly; it's a lovely homely environment and he seems very happy there.
Jasmine and her assistant Claire make a lot of effort to take the children to play groups, soft play and parks, and to do different activities at home, so they have a lot of stimulation but also a comforting routine.
Our son has always eaten a lot, and seems to love his meals at Jasmine's - she always cooks fresh food and the kids eat round the table together, which I think is really important for them.
We're really happy to have found Jasmine, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other parents.

I cannot recommend Jasmine highly enough. She started looking after my son when he was 1 on my return to work, and he settled in very quickly. It also made my return to work so much better as I knew I was leaving my son in good hands, and somewhere he was happy. He loved going to Jasmine's she offers a home from home, with a family atmosphere and lots of activities, he was always going on picnics, days out as well as regular play groups. He couldn't have been given a better start, and when we moved away just after he turned 2 our biggest concern was having to leave Jasmine!

Jasmine provides a good environment and activities for our 3 year old son, from a good selection of toys and activities at home, to sessions at local playgroups giving the interaction with a wider group of children.
She provides a safe and secure environment and has strong discipline with the children.
Our son always sleeps well after a day at Jasmine's so we know he has had an active day.

Jasmine looked after my two girls from the time they were six months until we moved out of the area when my eldest was four and my youngest almost two. She also occasionally looked after my older son, who was nine when we moved.
I found her to be highly professional, genuinely interested in my children; she planned lots of games and activities and they were always out and about at one playgroup or another, meeting friends or visiting attractions (she took them to Buckingham Palace one day to see the Queen!). She was never short of fun things to do. The food she prepared for them was nutritious and they enjoyed it. Above all my girls loved being with her, and even though we've lived out of the area for almost three years now, my eldest daughter still talks about Jasmine. I would highly recommend her.

I can't recommend Jasmine highly enough. Jasmine looked after my son for two years and he loved his time with her, it was like having a second family to go to while I was at work. I met quite a few people before finding her and she was far better than anyone else I spoke to.
Jasmine's is hard working, thoughtful and very reliable. She really cares about the children she looks after and was a good source of advice when we needed it. She's always doing fun things with the children she cares for e.g. trips to the farm, father Christmas, the Aquarium, soft play etc and takes real pride in the work she does.
Jasmine cooks healthy and nutritious meals and the whole family eat together which encourages the kids to eat more and try new things. I never worried about my son when I was at work as he enjoyed it so much there. We felt very fortunate to have found someone so good and were very sad when we had to change our childcare!

Jasmine took care of both of our children for almost three years. During this time she provided a warm and caring environment for our children to develop in. I was always confident and comfortable in the knowledge that my children were safe and cared for when they were with her.
Within a short time I felt that our children were part of the extended family and were happily learning from and playing with Jasmines own children. Due to their attendance at various playgroups etc our children were well socialised and as a result comfortable in a formal preschool setting.
Jasmine provided a professional flexible and supportive service and adapted easily to support challenging demands due to our work and travel needs.
Even now when either of our children see Jasmine they have a happy smile and a big hug for her and that is a tribute to her child caring skills...

Jasmine is an excellent child minder, and has been looking after our little girl since she was 12 months. We have always felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her care. Jasmine takes an active interest in our daughters development . The most important thing for us is that our daughter is a happy little toddler and enjoying herself, which we can happily say she is.
We would recommended Jasmine to anyone looking for a child minder.

Jasmine took great care of my daughter for two years before she started at a local pre-school nursery. There was always plenty of outings, regular attendance at local playgroups and good food! Jasmine is outgoing and full of energy - all qualities I greatly appreciated.
