J Furze's Reviews

Brilliant

Julie has been such an amazing child minder for our little boy for the last year. If we didnt have to move out of the area due to work she would definitely still be looking after our now 2 1/2 year old boy and our new little baby girl .
Our then 1 and a bit year old immediately felt at home and quickly settled becoming part of the family. Due to the nature of both mine and my husbands job we needed to find someone willing to have monkey all hours and Julie was extremely accommodating.
The variety of activities Julie organises is just brilliant including outdoor and indoor adventures. She also organises trips with other child minders so Our little boy was able to interact with a wide group of children. Over the last year his speech, motor skills and social skills have just become better and better.
We can't recommend Julie enough!! She really is amazing at her job and we've all been very sad to leave her.
Best child minder in Devon!!

Amazing child minder - professional, enthusiastic

Julie has been my son's child minder for a few years now and I could not imagine someone else looking after him. She has become a very important part of his life and he adores her. As my son suffers from complex physical, psychological and emotional needs, I needed to have someone look after him while I worked who I could trust implicitly and not have to worry and Julie is just that person and so much more. She is very conscientious, sensitive to his needs and very caring. She has also been instrumental in helping him with many aspects of his development, going above and beyond what is asked of her all the time. I could not praise Julie enough - she is a very special lady and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a rare gem.

Just Amazing.

Words aren't enough to say how brilliant Julie is.
Let's face it making the decision to leave your little monkey with someone else is daunting. I was left feeling completely at ease knowing my Monkey at 9 months old was in safe loving hands. 8 months later he loves going to Julie. For three days a week Julie's is a home from home and welcoming from all her family.
No day is a dull day. Days out and about in parks, walks in the woods, visits to the library, learning through play. Coming home with a colourful, glittered bunny at easter and has been to the beach. Socialising with other children of all ages in different fun but everyday accessible experiences. The interactions and experiences he is having with Julie are fantastic and varied.
My Monkey has grown in confidence and so have I as a first time Mum. Julie has been communicative and so supportive to me and my Husband, making us feel comfortable to be open and honest in our parental inadequacies without judgement but a kind ear and happy to offer advice if wanted. Julie has been so accommodating to Monkeys little quirks and beautifully patient with the settling in process.

Julie's attention and care to your child doesn't start and stop with a rushed drop off/pick up. For professional, passionate, fun, loving and honest, down to earth childcare I can't recommend Julie enough.
