Our son, Sam, has been going to Jo's two days a week since September 2016. Jo provides a great 'home from home' and has really helped Sam settle in well. I spoke with and looked round many childminders and Jo stood out as someone very caring who goes the extra mile. Looking after under 5s only, means that the children get more attention, and avoiding lots of school runs allows flexibility when deciding what to do each day, to meet the children's needs. Jo's house is set up really well with a playroom, great garden space and so many activities and toys that are ever-changing. She also knows all the best places/groups to take the little ones. Jo is really organised and a great communicator via whatsapp, a daily diary and a journal with photos tracking each child's learning and development. Above all, the children in her care seem really happy and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her!
