My little girl has over the last year been living with diabetes Joanne has been her childminder for over 3 years now and upon diagnosis took it all in her stride. She firstly started with her blood sugar testing and insulin injections adjusting to counting my daughters carbohydrate intake and calculating the insulin to give. We have in august moved on to using a pump and continuous blood sugar monitor to which Joanne went to several training sessions to help her understand and be able to use to get the best outcome for my daughter. Joanne has become an expert in knowing when she has high and low blood sugars and is able to treat them accordingly. Joanne has been a huge support through our diabetes journey nothing has been to much hassle and even manages to do all of this and have my son as well as other little ones. I would not hesitate to recommend Joanne to other family's with medical needs

Joanne has been my childminder for m3 years both of my children go to her . My little girl now attends before and after school and my little boy attends full time. I cannot express enough how much my children love Joanne. She treats them as her own and spends lots of time planning and doing activities with them from trips to park, zoo, beach and lots of toddler groups and arts and crafts, as well as enjoying her well equipped garden with so much for them to see and do . It's like a home from home for my children they always go off with happy smiles and enjoyment each day. We would be lost without her and nothing is ever to much trouble for her just amazing ❤️❤️

Nearing the end of my maternity leave I started to feel upset, worried , anxious and sad about leaving our little boy with somebody we could trust. We really did not need to worry at all!!! After just one day our little man loved going to Joanne. One year on he regards Joanne and all of her family as his friends/family. They have really welcomed him into there home and We know the care that she gives to all of her little people is truly outstanding and she regards them as one of her own for this We are truly grateful. I receive lots of photos throughout the day updating me on all of the fun they are having. Our little fella is always full of excitement when he knows he is going to “jo Jo’s” and he never looks back when my partner drops him off in the morning. Since starting with Joanne over a year ago he has never had a day just at her house! she takes her “little people” to such lovely places each day this has included the zoo, soft play centres, toddler groups, picnics, swimming, the beach and even pond dipping!! He loves to tell us about his day and also about his little friends when he gets home. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone at all who is looking for someone to care for there little ones.

Joanne assisted us for one evening as we had a wedding on and at first my little girl 23 months was hesitant staying in the hotel room with Joanne - Joanne immediately settled her in quite quickly figured out my little girls obsession with peppa and before we knew it all was taken care of! Joanne kept us in the loop during the course of the evening and we had a lovely time with peace of mind. Thank you Joanne

Joanne has been great. She looked after my daughter at very short notice of which I am very greatful. I'm sure you can imagine that I was worried about leaving my child with someone that she hadn't had a chance to get to know yet, however I needn't have worried at all. My daughter settled from day one and always greeted Joanne with a smile in the morning. Joanne followed my instructions well and my daughter stayed in her routine. Joanne would take her to toddler group and take part in fun art and craft activities. I know that my daughter is happy and having fun when I am working.

I have been with Joanne since September 2010, first of all she looked after my children in the evening for 4 hours a day & at first I was very weary of leaving my children with someone they didn’t know but my children settled in & loved her & her home straight away. They are always welcome with open arms & my children couldn’t wait to go to Jo’s!

I then started a different job in which I needed Joanne for 3 days a week all day. Joanne was brilliant with my kids in the evenings so I had no worries with leaving them with her during the day & I was not wrong. My children are looked after by Joanne as if they are her own & this is what I love about her as I want my children to be treated the same & know right from wrong. Joanne is well mannered & very productive with my children as it shows shiningly through them. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder, as my children are growing up they are respectful, well mannered, behaved & rounded individuals & this is mainly down to Joanne for being an outstanding childminder to my two children in which I am very highly grateful for.

My daughter who is now 5 years old loves Joanne & can’t wait to go with her & My son was very clingy to me & I was always worried about him as he didn’t like to go with anyone else but he soon took to Jo & now he is very happy to go with Joanne. This shows me he feels very safe & secure with her. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder for my two children & I would highly recommend Joanne to any mother wanting child care.
