What can I say about Janny?

We were lucky enough to find her on this website 6 years ago when we were looking for a childminder for our 1 year old son. I cannot tell you how lucky we were when we sent that first email asking for details. From that first interaction with us Janny was super helpful and informative and managed to put our minds at ease over a lot of things.

We now have two children and there has never been a moment that we have regretted our decision to let Janny look after both of them for us while we were working and even though they are now both at school, they still see her in the morning for the school run and it is very much a part of their school day.

The environment Janny creates for the children is safe, clean and very special. The children are encouraged to be independent and creative and the opportunity for play is never ending and the kids don't even realise that they are learning things the whole time. I just do not believe you get that kind of constant interaction at a nursery. I am always amazed at the projects that are happening whenever I go and pick the kids up and I think it is testament to her that our kids are sad if they have to miss going to her for any reason because she makes it so fun and enjoyable for them.

As each of our children were getting ready to start full time education Janny was helping them to get used to different things that they would encounter at school, queuing, sitting nicely, writing, eating independently etc. and helping us prepare them for all of that is just one of the many things that Janny has helped us and the kids with while we have known her.

The only reason we are having to leave Janny is because we are moving out of the area and it's fair to say that saying goodbye has been one of the hardest things to do, both for us as parents and for the children as she has been such an integral part of their lives, and ours, for 6 years now.

Janny we don't know what we will do without you and will miss your advice and friendship greatly. We will stay in touch I promise! Thank you for everything, from the bottom of our hearts!
