We struggled to find good childcare for our eldest. So we were absolutely delighted to discover Janine for our younger two, who she has cared for over the last few years (from age 1 until starting school). I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is everything you could ask for in a childminder.

She is caring, organised and fun. She does a huge variety of activities at her lovely home with the children and also takes them out all over the local area.

She is diligent and safety conscious, meaning you completely trust her with your child. She has a daily diary and photos of what the children have done each day which she shares. The weekly photos that she sends are always a treat to receive.

The children eat really well with Janine. She gets high quality food (organic fruit and veg boxes) and often gives the children what she is making for her own family. Her husband's homemade bread is also a hit. Even when our children don't eat well at home, we can always rely on them eating well at Janine's.

I also love how the children get welcomed into her family. She has two kind and welcoming teenage children who help out during school holidays, the eldest offers a babysitting service too.

Our middle child, who is now at school, always asks to go back to Janine's during school holidays!
