My wife and I had recently moved to the area, our primary concern was to find childcare for our 12 month old son Owen. For us it was imperative that we found the very best childcare possible, particularly as we were both going to find it difficult to be away from our only child for the first time. We were into double figures at the number of childminders and nurseries we had seen, we then came across Jo. To start, Jo has the absolute perfect setting for any child of any age. A fantastic playroom with copious amounts of toys and books for all ages and sexes with bright colourful pictures, decorations and art all made by the children themselves. The garden is fully secure with ride on cars, tractors, sandpit, huge blackboard and a fantastic water activity centre like I've never seen before. Jo was very welcoming and caring from the off, allowing a breaking in period to test the waters as to how Owen settled. Little did we know that it was actually us that required the breaking in period and not Owen. From his first visit Owen greeted us with smiles and laughter when we went to pick him up. The very next day he walked/crawled off into the playroom to play with his new best friends James and Isabella and didn't give us a second glance. We had found the perfect place for our little boy! Jo would provide daily accounts of what Owen had been up to from visits to Hobbledown, woods, playgrounds and playgroups to the endless activities at home from messy play and art and crafts to fun games. It was evident within weeks how quickly Owen was beginning to develop his skills but what was probably more important to us was how happy and settled he was. We had absolutely no reservations leaving Owen with Jo, knowing he had the very best care he could possibly receive. We cannot speak highly enough of Jo and the dedicated time and care she gave to Owen. We will be eternally grateful for her help and guidance and consider her a very good friend for what she has done for us as a family.
