Jayne Burraway's Reviews

5*

Olivia has been with Jayne since September and I can honestly she has come on leaps and bounds after being in Jayne’s care. She absolutely loves going and spending time with her and the other children. Jayne does so much with them all like toddler groups, messy play, learning etc…
I always love to read about what Olivia gets up to in the day in her diary and Jayne provides us with pictures at the end of the day too which is lovely.
Thank you so much for caring for our daughter, would recommend Jayne to anyone!

A+

I am so incredibly thankful to Jayne for looking after my little girl while her childminder was away. Jayne went over and above to accommodate my bespoke childcare needs and communicated everything to me clearly beforehand. She made sure my daughter settled in really well and my daughter had such a nice time with her. I would have no hesitation recommending Jayne to anyone. Thanks again Jayne.

Thank you for the lovely review , she was a lovely girl and so helpful and the others loved her , a joy to look after while your other childminder was away .

Best of the best!

Our little boy (19months) has been with Jayne for around 8weeks but it feels like he’s known her for much longer.

We love that he’s excited to go to Jayne’s and play with the other kids. He really enjoys spending the day doing actives like: painting, messy play, music, walks in the park, zoo/farm visits, toddler groups and playing dress up.

We love reading what he’s been up to in the diary updates which Jayne provides daily, along with photos. It’s great to see him having so much fun and also make us feel assured that our child is in the best possible care!

Thank you for a lovely review . Archie is a joy to look after and keeps me on my toes as he wants to copy everything the older ones are doing .

Amazing childminder

Our little boy has been with Jayne since the beginning of the year and he absolutely loves her! He has settled in really well with her and he loves the other children she has and of course her cats!
He always goes in with a smile on his face and leaves with a smile so we know he’s had a lovely day. Jayne always does lots of activities with the children, either by taking them out exploring and to toddler groups or doing lots of different things inside.
He’s so happy with Jayne and we feel so lucky to have found her to look after our son.

Thank you so much , he settled very quick and he always has a smile .

A pleasant experience for My child

My child was very happy with Jayne. She has made some friends and done lots of socialising at toddler groups. Jayne keeps the children active & occupied and this is why we chose her services. They have lots to do. I haven't got any complaints but also I think my child is a confident and happy child. There was no issues with settling in. She goes to sleep at nap times. I would have kept the place, but a place at preschool has opened up. I would recommend her to anyone asking & maybe even use her services again on the future.

Amazing childminder!

I would recommend Jayne to anyone looking for a childminder in Bedford, she's been looking after my twin girls now for around 5 months, and they've come on leaps and bounds, and really come out of their shells and have so much fun each day. Jayne always makes sure there's plenty of activities planned for each day, and often go out and about, and the girls come home every day with big smiles and big personality🤍

Thank you for the lovely review . Carter settled straight away and was very good with the other children and loved being outside in the fresh air .

Amazing childminder

My almost 2 year old daughter has only been with Jayne for a few months but from day 2 she was settled and happy. Jayne does so many lovely activities with the children and I look forward to reading the childcare log everyday, Jayne always sends me pictures of what the children are up to and has helped me out on a couple of occasions when I've needed earlier drop off times. Jayne's experience shines through and I'm really happy I chose her.

Thank you for the lovely review . I love looking after Maya she is such a sweet littie girl and always happy .

If I knew before..

After reading all the good reviews about her, I decided to contact her as I needed someone to look after my 12 months old baby. She said his age was absolutely fine. After few settling sessions, she accepted him for 3 full permanent days starting in about a month time. Completely out of the blue ,she texted me saying she couldn't accept him because after ONLY!! 3 days with her, he didn't settle (not sleeping like a doll in his new cot alone), telling that her neighbours were complaining about him crying, while she kept WhatsApp me saying he was fine...
She let me down during Christmas holiday, couple of weeks before starting, with not enough time to find any other solutions. I do understand she had the right to do so, within the first 6 weeks , still not acceptable from a professional childminder. She must have been honest since the beginning, not very reliable.May be OK for kids 24 month and over

This is a unfair review . As when the lady rang me I explained to her as I have other children I could not rock children to sleep as not fair on the other children . And you said no his happy and ok . But then I find out he falls asleep in the nanny arms and in your bed at night , I tried to settle him but he was very distressed and would not settle to sleep so I tried rocking and white noise music but he woke the others and still very distressed as tired . I did 2 one hour settling in and in that time he never slept . But on the 3 days I had him he cried and would not let me even hold him to sleep . As it was a trial period I explained it was not good for him as he was used to a nanny and I had to take the other children in account and also my neighbour had his wife home from hosp as had a stroke and he said that baby keeps crying so long , so I terminated the contract as settling in period as I could not offer him one to one . Plus as you was going on holiday for over 2 weeks he would be more unsettled as had the family around him and we would be back to the same situation . So this is not a good review as Iv been a childminder over 35 years and no complaints

Excellent childminder!

Jayne has lots of knowledge and ensures a safe caring environment for all children! It is like a family away from the home setting. She looked after my little girl for nearly 3 years and Lydia always came home happy and content telling me of the activities they got up to that day!
Highly recommended

Thank you Haylee for the lovely review . I loved how Lydia called me nanny and it was her Andy when she saw him at school . It’s been lovely seeing her grow from a baby to a lovely chatty little girl and full of confidence . Going to miss my Lydia cuddles

Excellent childminder

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being with Jayne in her social skills, manners and her speaking.

Jayne always takes the children out to participate in fun activities which the children love and learn so much in. It is a great feeling to know that your child has had a fun day!

I would recommend Jayne highly to anyone looking for childcare for the first time and are anxious, as you will feel comforted by the daily updates Jayne provides showing your child having a great time learning, playing and being creative.

Thank you for the review , we are all going to miss Daisy , Daisy was always keen to learn and loved any messy play and digging in the garden , and toddler groups

Brilliant experienced childminder

Jayne has been childminding my daughter Bethany, who is two years old.

I have been extremely happy with the care Bethany has received, and the great progress she has made whilst in Jayne's care.

Bethany didn't make it easy for Jayne and was very stubbord at first. Jayne was very good with her and preservered and before long Beth was happy to join and play with Jayne and the others, all the while Jayne kept me informed and updated on how Beth was getting on.

I would not hesitate in recommending Jayne as a Childminder, Jayne also had my older boy when he was little and if I was to ever have another I would hope Jayne would take care of them as well.

Thank you for the lovely review . It took Beth a few weeks to settle but she was a pleasure to look after just like her older brother . Hopefully we can still stay in touch and meet up . X

Amazing childcare

Jayne is an amazing childminder, not only did she look after my son when he was younger, she looked after myself and my brother when we were little. Jayne is always thinking of activities to do with the children and taking them on walks and adventures. Jayne is a very experienced childminder and I can promise you your children are being left in the best hands.

Excellent Child Care

Jayne has been a wonderful child minder for our family over the last four years. She has gone above and beyond expectations to support and care for my step son, providing him with the stability and routine which he has needed. The children in Jayne's care always have lots of fun and they are very closely safeguarded at all times so you can relax knowing that Jayne will take brilliant care of your little one. She is kind and supportive and supports the child's learning and development to a very high level. They are given lots of different learning opportunities which enables them to make fantastic progress. They visit Toddler groups, enjoy messy play and explore mark making through using lots of different media. Jayne has been a wonderful support to our family, always offering to help when it has been needed and we couldn't have asked for a better professional to take care of our step son. Thank you so much Jayne you have been truly wonderful. Mr and Mrs Daniel

Excellent

Jayne started having my little boy from 10 months old until he was a 1yr and 4 months as I moved away. As a first time parent and leaving my child to go to work was very scary in a location where I knew no one, when I met up with Jayne she put my mind at ease and showed me I had nothing to worry about,my little boy adored Jayne and Andy. My little one isn’t a morning person but I used to say if you don’t get up you won’t be able to see Jayne today he was then standing at the front door in his pjs. My little one isn’t a big fan of men but he had such a bond with Andy, Jayne used to send me pictures and updates of what my little one had been up to throughout the day. I would strongly recommend Jayne to all my friends and family.

Excellent Childminder

Jayne has been childminding my son Jacob (3 years old now) since 2015. She looked after him for 5 days each week; 5 hours, 4 days, and 7 hours, one day a week.

I have been extremely happy with the care Jacob has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Jayne's care.

Jayne's home is always welcoming, and a home away from home for Jacob, which is what I wanted for him when he was still young. Jacob often told me that he loved Jayne and Andy.

Jayne provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor play. I know Jacob has really enjoyed the garden and water play outside in the summer, sticking, and reading as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks, and walks in the woods.

Jayne is great with young children and has had no trouble in gaining Jacob's confidence and encouraging his good behaviour and manners. When he is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her, or Andy.

Jayne has completed a diary detailing what Jacob has done each day. From this, I have had a complete picture of his whole day including what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities. This helps me to feel involved in his care and that I can talk to him about his day.

All in all, I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Jacob received and I'm certain that being in such a positive and supportive environment has helped him develop into a confident and self-assured little boy.

I would absolutely recommend Jayne as a caring and dependable childminder.

Thank you loved looking after Jacob he was such a lovely little boy and me and andy really loved him like our own , was sorry to see him leave for pre school will miss him , but hopefully stay in touch

Overall great!

My son has been with Jayne since he was around 9 months, as many of you know the whole going back to work thing and leaving your child with someone is extremely stressful and made me very very anxious. Jayne really made me feel better about it, knowing my son has a brilliant time and is safe and all children are given the same attention, my son has been so happy with Jayne and unfortunatley will be leaving her early September due to starting preschool, it's going to be very sad for him to leave as he loves going and even calls her Nana! Thank you for all your help!

Thank you means a lot , will miss Archie saying nana when he wants something , and sitting on my lap when we read a book

Thank you to the friendly child minder

I have been extremely happy with the care my daughter has received, and the great progress she has made whilst in Jayne’s care. Jayne’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Jayne’s warm and friendly.

Jayne is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my daughter’s confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.

I would absolutely recommend Jayne as a great and reliable childminder. Thanks so much, Jayne.

Thank you , it was lovely looking after her she was such a nice polite girl

lovely caring and supportive environment!

Jayne has been helping me with the school runs in the mornings and afternoons and has been an absolute God send. Leaving your child with someone is extremely stressful and Jayne has made the transition for both me and my daughter very easy. My daughter happily waves me goodbye at the door and when collecting her at the end of the day she is the happiest little girl with lots of exciting things to tell me about her day. She thoroughly enjoys being with Jayne and the other kids that Jayne cares for and they are all treated fairly and encouraged to respect one another. Jayne is a home away from home for the children she cares for and I could no be happier with the level of care she provides.

Can remeber Megan and Sammy when they were together , they were lovely to look after , and it was nice to see Sammy last year to see how much she has grown up

Lovely!

Jayne currently looks after my son, and he always seems so happy and tired :) from all the playing and fun stuff! Great environment, just what I wanted a home from home! Highly recommend! Also I'm only rating food as a 4 as I usually pack his lunch but whenever I don't there's always food for him to eat which Jayne provides :)

Childminder

When my daughter was a year old Jayne was her childminder. I knew Jayne through a friend of the family. I trust Jayne with my children's life( I am a very anxious person). Jayne looked after my eldest daughter who is now nearly 9 when I returned to work. My daughter always loved going to Jayne's house she does so much with the children, and enables them to learn so much. I would recommend Jayne to anybody. I still continue to have Jayne look after all 3 of my children now.
Jayne is a lovely lady with a great personality and treats all her children she looks after the same.
