Where to start, well Joanne is fantastic. As a working mum of two one of the hardest decisions to make is about childcare and the need to get it right. My two girls are now 5 and 3 and are picked up by Jo usually 5 days a week and I can honestly say it is the best decision I could have made. The girls adore Jo and love spending time in her home. I didn't think that in the time they spend with Jo after school that Jo could achieve so much with them. My girls visit the parks often, they bake, they make me beautiful pictures almost daily for me. Jo provides such a nurturing environment that after the first few days my usually very shy 3 year old was fully relaxed in Jo's home and there are days when it is a struggle to actually get my two to leave.
Would I recommend Joanne? absolutely and without hesitation, I only wish I had found Jo earlier and my girls would have been with Jo from the day I returned back to work after maternity rather than use a private nursery. I went with my gut instinct when I decided Jo was the right person to look after my girls after school when I was in work and I am so glad I did, Jo is honest, friendly and down to earth and most importantly my girls really love spending time with her and feel safe and secure, I really couldn't ask for anymore.
