My Summary
About Me
my name is Jo and I have been registered since July 2012, I'm a registered childminder in Rushden
I am married to lee, we have three children Chelsea who was born in April 2000, Shannon who was born in September 2002 and Kallum who was born in October 2004. I have a chocolate Labrador puppy called Bear, he will be an assisted dog for my Daughter who has special needs,
I have just completed how to set up home-based childcare level 3
I am an Ofsted registered childminder
My aim as a childminder is to provide daycare facilities for children that I would feel happy about leaving my children in. And I can also offer lots of activities to develop the children. And I provide a safe and happy environment for the children in my care.
My Experience
My childcare experience ranges from being around children from a very young age to having my children. I grew up in a loving, safe and happy household. This is an environment, which I believe is essential for any child to grow up in. I also believe I can offer this safe and happy environment to child/children. I started a regular babysitting job at the age of 15, I also did work experience for two weeks in a primary school, also did another two weeks in a children's hospital working with disabled children. I then went off to work when I was 18 in a factory to earn some money so I could set our home ready to start our family. but in the back of my mind, I knew my dream job was to work with children, so here I am now finally doing the dream job I've dreamt about.

We cannot thank Jojo for everything she has done for Ru. She provides a wonderful homely environment where the children can play, explore and do some lovely arts and crafts. She takes them out exploring the world and seeing new things. She also has two assistants who are sometimes present and they are just as caring and amazing. Jo-jo is highly recommended and jojo’s childcare will always remain and wonderful important part of Ru’s life x

Aww, thank you for the kind words in the review. It's been my pleasure to be a part of Ru's life & development journey, I wish you all the best for the future.x
Jo was very helpful and put me at ease as a key worker it was stressful finding someone.
The children aged 9/4/ 19months all loved the setting and the different available things to keep them occupied.
Thank you jo

Thankyou Sarah for the kind words, it was a pleasure to help out.
Our Son has attended JoJos for a year and a half. During that time, Thomas has grown leaps and bounds. At 2 years old he knows all his colours and shapes, he counts to 14 and recognises numbers and letters. He is potty trained and can communicate very well. JoJos has all the educational benefits of a nursery but with the benefit of being a family environment. With her assistant Chelsea the family home becomes a micro nursery. Thomas had just turned 1 when he started with JoJos and being a first time mum I was nervous to leave him but she reassured me throughout the first few days with pictures and messages and he settled in like JoJo had always been there. If you're looking for a home from home I would highly recommend.

Thankyou for the lovely Review, it was my pleasure to work with you, and look after Thomas.
Jo has been looking after our twin girls for nearly two years. Her environment is warm, caring and nurturing.
Our girls have loved going to Jo’s and their time with her has really helped their development.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jo, she has truly become part of our family.

Thankyou Shona for your kind words.
My daughter was at jojo for just over a year and half and during that time develop an amazing bond with not just jojo but with her children as well. My daughter suffered with development issue and jojo would work with my health visitor and me to give her extra support to help her. Jo is a very down to earth person and she is give so much love and care to each individual child in her care. My daughter does not bond with people easily and to me this shows how special Jo and her family are. My daughter always felt at home at jojo they were like her second family and I could not have wished for more. My daughter has moved to a pre school now and was a sad day for both parties on her last day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Both you and your children meant so much to my little girl xxx
