We have been so lucky to have Janine as the childminder for both our children. They both started with Janine when they were 1 year old and stayed with her until starting pre-school at age 3. Janine welcomed our boys into her family, providing a safe, structured and stimulating environment for them to learn and grow. She has helped to give them a great start in life and so many happy memories.

Janine always plans fun activities to capture their interests, including lots of time outdoors - which has always been important to us. The boys have enjoyed walks in Richmond Park, trips to Kew Gardens and train journeys into London Waterloo. In addition, Janine plans lovely art and craft activities for them to do at home, developing their fine motor skills and teaching them about key events, such as Mother's Day. They particularly loved making bubble cakes! We love seeing the photos which Janine shares with us every week.

Janine prepares healthy and nutritious meals which our boys have thoroughly enjoyed. They enjoy cooking with her too, eg. making homemade pesto or bread.

Janine is extremely conscientious and we have never had a moment where we doubted that we made the right choice when we chose her to look after our boys. Having the peace of mind that they are so well looked after has been fantastic. We highly recommend her.
