Jayne Childcare's Reviews

Reliable, lovely & engaged, going on adventures!

Our daughter was with Jayne from 9 months until 2.5 years, then our son from 11 months until 1.5 years. Jayne has provided a wonderful home-from-home environment for our children in their earliest years. We are so lucky to have found her. She has cared for them as they stepped out into the world for the first time, she has inspired them with her park and playgroup trips, and she has made them feel safe, secure and confident both in her presence and in her lovely home. She has enabled us to go to work feeling completely happy knowing she is giving them everything they want or need!
Other things about Jayne - she's cheerful, she very quickly understands their personalities and works with them, she is nice and funny and we very often have a laugh or a nice chat at pick up. She cooks lovely food, and so importantly, she takes them out and about in Enfield, pretty much come rain or shine.

Outstanding childminder in Enfield

⭐️ Simply outstanding ⭐️. A safe and nurturing environment, combined with tons of patience, kindness and care.

Jayne looked after our second son for two years and he simply adored her. He was waking up on weekends and asking if he can go to Jayne. There were mornings when he would run to her house and would forget to say goodbye at the door. This was a drastic change from the shy, timid and teary boy, which we left at the beginning.

She gave him so much love and so many adventures. They were out at playgroups and at the park every day. I loved the amount of fresh air and sunshine, which he gets. Jayne would send me 10-12 photos daily and this was probably my most favourite thing, seeing the range of activities, which she provides and also his face expressions while trying anything from arts to playing with dinosaurs.

Jayne was caring and supportive. Her communication was excellent. If we didn’t move out of London my third child would have been booked to be in Jayne’s care as well. And as to my first child, I always regretted not knowing Jayne when he was small.

I can only leave a maximum of five starts in the review, but here are six from me, as Jayne deserves each one of them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A home from home environment

Jayne has taken care of our 2.5 year old daughter for a year now. She came recommended and took her on during the pandemic. We were relieved to have such a reliable and caring childminder. She provides a great structured routine and our daughter benefited from this as she settled quickly and liked going to her house. Jayne has interesting toys which she rotates on a daily basis, story times, playgroup visits and provides local park trips on a daily basis. Thank you Jayne for all the care you have given to our daughter.

Lucky to have found Jayne

Jayne was recommended to us by a friend just before our daughter turned 1yrs and I was planning to go back to work.

From the very first visit our daughter was calm and engaged with Jayne, the other children and the environment. Jayne is calm, caring and professional. Jayne has given our daughter one to one exceptional and exemplary care for 3yrs.

Ofsted registered, her days are structured with visits to playgroups, the park, the library, playing and learning and reading times built in to the day. There are healthy meals at mealtimes and there is an opportunity to rest. The children get to learn other experiences such as baking and gardening which I was most impressed with!

We get updates by way of images and texts throughout the day as well as other specific developmental reports.

My daughter can count well and has developed excellent language skills and vocabulary. She has also developed good social skills and how to engage with other children and people.

Both my husband and I have very busy working days and we have felt secure in knowing that our daughter is safe and looked after all day by Jayne.

We would highly recommend Jayne and the high level of care she offers. She’s a rare find!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. So much appreciated!

Excellent

Jayne has been looking after our 2 year old daughter since she was a year old. Jayne has provided an excellent home-from-home environment and our daughter loves going to her house. Jayne takes the children out everyday to the park, a playgroup or the library and they also cook, paint, read, dress-up, play in the garden etc. at Jayne's house. Jayne has a lot of toys for the children (far more than we have!) and brings different sets of toys out everyday, centred around a particular theme (animals, cooking etc). Our daughter really enjoys the company of the other children and looks forward to playing with them, often talking about them at home. Jayne provides photos and updates twice a day so we know how our daughter is doing and Jayne is always happy to provide additional feedback at the end of the day. I would certainly recommend Jayne to anyone looking for a childminder. We are very happy that we found Jayne and very grateful for all her hard work.

Wonderful Jayne

Jayne has been our childminder for the last 4 years. First looking after our eldest daughter and now our youngest. She’s a fabulous childminder and really goes the extra mile. She provides a home from home environment, lovely home cooked food and fun and stimulating activities. All the children become firm friends and throughly look forward to going there....mine have even asked if they are going there when it’s a weekend day! Jayne does lots of activities with the children such as cookery, arts and crafts , reading and practising numbers and phonics. The children also go to playgroup and the park along with other activities. Jayne sends updates twice a day with photos so it’s wonderful to get to see how much fun they are all having. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jayne if you are looking for a dedicated, fun and very caring childminder.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! You are so kind and I really appreciate your positive comments!

Thank you Jayne!

We are very happy with Jayne. Our daughter was with her for 3 years, and was very happy being with Jayne all this time. Jayne gives all her love to the children, and meanwhile the children are very disciplined and have a well structured routine to their day. She prepares children towards school, teaching them letters and numbers, and also having fun with activities such as art, cooking and baby yoga, and Jayne teaches them to respect other people, as well as showing respect towards animals. Thank you Jayne for looking after our daughter!

Lovely Jayne

We have just recently started leaving out daughter Jessica with Jayne, and already we are impressed with Jayne's professionalism, fun and sincere approach. She sends regular diary reports and photos on Jessica's activities, and how she is getting along. The activities are very interesting and stimulating and great for Jessica's learning, including such things as baking, role-play, reading books, creating things, and days out.

Maddie loves Jayne!

We were so lucky to find Jayne! She is a wonderful, loving childminder with a lovely family and home that she welcomes the little ones she looks after into. She is also fantastically well experienced and this is so evident.

Maddie loves going to Jayne's and gets very excited on Jayne-days! She clearly has a lovely time and we get an email report every day just before we pick her up so that we know what she's been doing as well as when she had her naps, what she's eaten etc which is so helpful. We also love the photos that are often included.

Jayne seems to go the extra mile every day to make sure that the children in her care have interesting activities to do (Maddie particularly enjoys the baking - so do we!) and outings to enjoy but also time just to play in a lovely home environment (very well stocked with some really lovely toys). Her garden is particularly lovely for little ones - just need the weather to improve!

We could not recommend Jayne more highly and we are just so glad we found her. We are so grateful to her for looking after our girl so very well.

Thank you so much, Sarah, for your lovely comments. I am so pleased Maddie is so happy here and it is evident that once she got her feet under the table, so to speak, she is very settled. She is a welcome addition to our little group, and we'll do our best to make a master chef of her yet!

So glad we found Jayne

Jayne Yilmaz is looking after my one year old daughter after we couldn't get a place in her older sister's nursery - and I'm so glad!

Jayne has been flexible and helpful throughout the settling in process, and Carolyn already adores her. She offers a home from home environment for babies and children up to 5 years, and gets out and about every day as well as having a lovely safe fun environment both indoors and out for the children to play.

I would highly recommend Jayne to anyone needing childcare.
