Jan is a gentle, caring and generous lady and an excellent Childminder. Jan took care of our daughter Imogen 5 days per week from March 2012 until December 2013. She provided a perfect home from home environment for Imogen who quickly settled in with Jan's family and the other children. We were nervous about leaving Imogen with someone because she had previously been cared for by her Grandparents, but Jan was very sensitive to this and ensured Imogen felt secure with lots of cuddles and fun times!

Imogen grew and developed wonderfully during her time with Jan. She loved attending lots of different play groups and outings with Jan and the other children. Imogen also benefitted from being part of the school-run routine for the older children. Imogen always had lots of exercise with Jan by going for walks and venturing outdoors come rain or shine!

Jan was always very accommodating and flexible to my sometimes awkward work hours. She was also extremely helpful when I had another baby when she went out of her way to makes things easier for us in the early days.

Imogen had to leave Jan's care only because we moved away from the area, but she still talks about Jan now and loves to visit her house for a play and cuddle! We were sad to leave Jan because we really couldn't have asked for more from her as a Childminder and friend!
