My Summary
About Me
Hello
My name is Jillian and I live in the Four Oaks area of Sutton Coldfield and I am a proud mother of 4 children who are all grown and flown the nest, I have 8 grandchildren who are all growing up very quickly, which is why I am addressed as "nanny" to all the children in my setting, which is something I love but also the children's own choice. I also have a little Cavapoo, called Ruby who is 8yrs Old, and is loved by all the children.
I've been childminding for 39 years. Children I have cared for in the past still visit me and now have their own little ones which is so lovely to see, and over time they have become a very close part of my family!
I have a children's play room for the children to explore, play, learn and have fun, with plenty of space and resources. I offer a warm friendly environment where children can feel safe and happy within a space that feels like home from home.
I have always loved childminding and find it very rewarding where every day is different, and it gives me pleasure to know that I have a positive impact on every child's life that comes through my doors, leaving their footprints and fingerprints everywhere for me to treasure.
The setting is close to Sutton park and other amenities, I take regular outings with the children to the park, play area, Farm, soft play, library and toddler play groups and many more....
I offer a large range of activities available for the children including painting, cooking, role play, fun with colours & counting, drawing, writing and general creative activities and water play (where the children can enjoy getting messy!) including many more to promote enjoyment, fun and learning. The children go outdoors in my large garden on a daily basis where I also have a fairy garden, planting area, mud kitchen, bikes, slide, sand and water play for the children's socialising, fun and exploring new textures and making fond memories with friends.
(I currently drop/collect at schools in Four Oaks Primary School and offer spaces for funded children 9mths/2yrs and 3/4yrs for 15/30hrs and extended hours)

Jill (Nanny) looked after my son and daughter in 2012 until 2017. My children recieved the best care I could have hoped for, they were happy and still are when we visit often, they never want to leave.
Jill really treats every child, like they are her own.
Thank you for everything and the extra effort and support you show.
Highly recommend 👌

Jill looked after my little boy for a few years before starting school. He called her nanny as it was such a lively home from home setting for him. I could go to work and know he was genuinely having a great time and having adventures with other children and Jill. Nothing was too much trouble.

My son has been with Jill since he was 7 months old. My little one has settled in really well and never seems upset when I leave him. I am extremely happy with the care he is getting. Jill always give me an update of his day, what he has eaten, what he has been doing and if he has done anything new. My son is a very sociable and happy boy and I believe, this is in part due to Jill's wonderful care. I hope that he will be with Jill until he starts nursery and I can highly recommend her services.
