My daughter is 17 months old and has been with Jody for 3 days a week since January 2017.

On meeting Jody and her family my husband and I knew straight away that this was where we were happy to leave our daughter while we are at work.

It is clear from the first meeting that Jody is a great mum who loves caring for children. She met with us on numerous occasions to go through policy's and make sure that our daughter was comfortable in her home by offering settling in sessions. We met everyone who would be in contact with our child throughout the day.

Our daughter loves going to Jody's house she chatters non stop about Jodys own children, sings songs they have sung to her...she is cared for as if she is part of their family! They visit the park and local play groups and take part in various craft activities. Jody keeps up with all the events in the Calandar, pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, Valentine's cards and a beautiful Mother's Day gift.

She reports daily activities on Toucan learn which we can check during the day at work and it's great when photos are posted. Jody tries hard to accommodate routines from home and will always send an instant message if there are any significant changes. She has been quick to spot when our little girl has been under the weather and has offered useful tips when she's been teething!

My husband and I whole heartedly recommend Jody as a childcare provider and so would our daughter!
