My Summary
About Me
I am 49 years old and married with two young children. I am sensitive, attentive and dedicated to my children and others in my care. I live in a quiet culdesac with large enclosed garden, only 15 minute walk to princes street.
My Experience
Having previously worked in a professional office environment, I realised very quickly after having my children, that I enjoyed working with little ones.
As my daughter was incredibly sensitive and did not take to nurseries, I hope to give mums, like me, an option for their child to experience a more nurturing and empathetic environment.

Care inspectorate Scotland registered, scma member and paediatric first aid certified

My toddler has been going to Justine for 8 months and has thrived under Justine’s care. Justine provides a friendly, caring and responsive environment, and my daughter is very happy and progressing well with her. She also has good naps there! There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, and Justine provides wholesome homemade food. Her two children are great fun company for my daughter, who has learned a lot from them. I would certainly recommend this childminder.
Overall
We found Justine through this website and I would like to strongly recommend her here as a childminder.
We met her after having interviewed five other childminders and being underwhelmed by all of them. This was different. It was instantly clear to us that Bellevue was the right person and place for our little one year old daughter. Not only was her house warm, calm, homey and welcoming, but she herself is a lovely, honest, attentive person. She really stops and listens to children, and she is not overly busy with lots of children.
Before Bellevue, my baby daughter had been in nursery for a few months but had never gotten used to it. At Justine's on the other hand, she instantly felt at home, never once fuzzed about staying (she soon started fuzzing about not wanting to leave when we picked her up though!) and just thrived. She learned to walk, jump, eat her own soup, say words. It has truly been her second home.
Last but not least, Justine's two children are generous with their space and have been incredibly kind and friendly with my daughter, unknowingly teaching her about socialising with peers just by including her in their house and in their games. We will miss them all very much now that my daughter is starting nursery.
