Outstanding!
Jo is really warm, caring and child-centred in her approach. She has a lovely way with the children and went that extra mile for our daughter. Jo’s house is such a fun and stimulating environment for children to play in! We looked into other childcare providers in the area but found nothing as good as the provision that Jo offers and we’re so glad that we chose her! Both indoor and outdoor areas have a fantastic range of toys and activities that promote learning, though the children have so much fun with Jo, they wouldn’t know they’re also learning!
We were also really impressed with the range of activities and trips that Jo takes the children on. Some childminders spend a lot of time at home, whereas Jo plans great outings and our daughter absolutely loved them - trips to the woods, seaside, farm, soft play places and a play centre where children can wear costume and enjoy pretend play as a shop assistant, hairdresser, fire fighter etc!
Jo’s EYFS provision is excellent. I've worked as a teacher and senior leader in education for years and I can honestly say that Jo's provision is outstanding. She promotes children’s learning in everything they do and tailors her approach to meet the needs of every child individually.
Jo sends photos and updates about your child, which we loved receiving and found really reassuring. Jo has lovely children and our daughter warmed to them quickly. She loved playing with them and talk about them for the rest of the week! We felt part of the family and always felt so welcome. I can’t recommend Jo highly enough.
