I have known Jani for a good few years now, as she lives on the same road as me and over the years we have become good friends. When I needed a childminder for my then 2yr old, there was no one else I would consider and it was such a relief that she had a space.
During his time with Jani I watched Ethan blossom from a shy quiet boy (in company) to happy and outgoing one around other children. His speech also came on in leaps and bounds and he loved his time with her so much that every afternoon he would come home exhausted!
I also knew that when Ethan was with Jani, her would also get lots of loves and cuddles and that if he was upset or hurt she would comfort him. She also kept me up to date with texts and picture messages throughout the day so I didn't feel I was missing out too much. She also asked me lots of questions about my parenting so Ethan would have consistency with eating, toileting, rewards and discipline.
Both my children adore Jani (and her own children) and when she walks into the playground at school all the children know her and shout her name.
I have also watched Jani, over the years, further her own personal development with training courses and by working with other childcare professionals to exchange good practice.
Working, myself, in a SureStart Children's Centre, I do know that Jani has a good reputation professional and many Childcare professionals I have spoken to about her have always said, 'Jani - she's an excellent childminder'!
I always recommend Jani whenever asks me about childminders and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone when asks. 10 out of 10.
