Jane Harrison's Reviews

Super Childminder

Jane and Cara have cared for my two children for many years, both from the age of 1 right up to them attending school, at which point they have then also had weekly after school pick up.

Jane and Cara have played a big part in my children’s early years care. They have always enjoyed their time in Jane’s setting, with lots of fun activities and amazing day trips. They are brilliant childminders.

I was so thankful for the support they provided in preparing both of my children for school.

Excellent Childminder - highly recommend

Jane was our childminder from 2008 through to summer 2020, caring for our two sons - eldest from 2.5 years and youngest from 6 months old - through to 11 years old. Initially full-time, moving to provide wrap around care once they began at Laleham Primary.
Jane has always ensured a safe, friendly and adventurous setting, instilling values , understanding and compassion along the way.
Her trips have always been extra special and varied giving them lots of experiences - from crab fishing, beaches and theme parks, to zoos and themed events within their setting, lots of craft and food activities. Always ensuring that everyone is included, and given the confidence to try things they might not normally.
Our youngest has ADHD, and Jane was proactively involved in helping us with him, settling routines, and finding ways to help him cope when he needed space and support.
Cara and Jane have worked together for some time now and they ensure stability, consistency and have clear policies and structure.
Both provide reassurance to the children within their care, giving regular and clear communication to us as parents. Particularly through this COVID period in 2020, they have ensured clear updates on requirements (sanitiser/handover methods, etc) which were shared as soon as possible and they worked hard to give the children as much normality as possible throughout this changing and unique time - stability that was much appreciated.

I recommend Jane to everyone

My nephew went to Jane’s before attending school and he was so happy there I knew for certain I’d send my children there. We love having Jane as our childminder, she is fantastic with the children and my son runs in every time no looking back. Jane and Cara take the children on so many fantastic outings, trips and activities - they are very lucky.
Jane is very organised, flexible and extremely supportive especially during recent times. I have and will continue to recommend Jane to family and friends and I look forward to my second son starting there next year.

We couldn’t be without Jane & Cara

Jane and Cara have been looking after my children for the last 4 years, right from when my son was aged 1, to when he started school in September. Now my daughter attends during the day three times a week, and they also help with school drop off and pick up.

The care they give and the fun they create is unbelievable. They take the children on regular day trips to fantastic places, and even during these difficult times they ensure they still get out and about. They send regular updates on what they’ve been up to and photos from their days out.

They also played a big part in preparing my son for school, from teaching self care to the early stages of learning.

Both of my children love going to Jane and for me they are flexible and supportive. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Second Home

My son was in Jane's care for almost 10 years, full-time and then wrap around care after he started school.
As a working Mum it means everything to know that your child is well cared for and that their social and developmental needs are being met through the huge range of age appropriate activities Jane provides.
Jane's setting really is a home from home and she has a fantastic child friendly garden.
Highly recommend.

Great setting

My 2 year old loved the setting. He really enjoys adventure and exploration and this is exactly what Jane and Cara provide. As a full time working OT, it was a pleasure for me leaving my son in their care each day.
