Jane looked after our 5 year old daughter for a few hours whilst my wife and I were at a family funeral. Jane came to our hotel (with her grandson) and met our daughter, then after a bit of a chat took our daughter away to her house which has plenty of books and toys. Alongside this Jane has a garden well equipped for the kids with swings, climbing frames and a messy kitchen! Jane served lunch and then returned our daughter to the venue we were at after the funeral. Great Service!

Thank you for your lovely comments; greatly appreciated. Your daughter is a credit to you. Regards Jane x
Jane has been looking after my baby as I went back to work for keep in touch days and it has been amazing! My son loves spending time with her and I never worry about him when he is with Jane. She is very calm, patient, warm and plans great activities. She has been very helpful as I am a first time mum and has helped me with lots of things. Communicating with her is very easy and she is highly reliable. She went out of her way to make my baby feel settled - she did settling sessions before she started so my baby felt at ease. We will definitely continue using her services and I can't recommend her enough!

Jane spent a day babysitting my daughter during the recent Christmas school holidays, and it was a great success. Communication before the day was excellent - Jane reassured me by sharing information and evidence of her experience and qualifications. My daughter really enjoyed the day’s activities, particularly baking cookies. Would
Highly recommend.

Thank you for your feedback it is greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed spending the time with your family too!
Jane looked after our son 4 days a week from 9m old. Jane was absolutely brilliant with him and very adaptable to introduce him into her setting gradually. She was very communicative with us to let us know how he was getting on and had lots of different activities for him and the other children to do inside and outside. It felt like he was being included as part of the family and we loved that he had a home from home to go to. We wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Jane to anyone!

Thank you for your lovely comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Best wishes and much love to you all x
I HIGHLY recommend Jane, she provides excellent care, is completely trustworthy and she has excellent childcare knowledge and experience. My son soon settled with her, which was no easy task! Jane’s extensive knowledge means she tailors activities for the stage each child is at while making sure that all children in her care are included. As a new mum I received wonderful support and guidance from Jane and she always followed my wishes with regards to the care of my son.
My son was not a good sleeper and didn’t have a regular nap but after a few weeks with Jane he was settled in a nap time routine. This has been a godsend and he still naps for 2 hours most days.
Jane cared for my son for 6 months, (only stopped due to lockdown as both of us were at home). She provided such good care that I never worried about my son while he was with her. As an ex Ofsted Inspector Jane is fully informed of all the relevant regulations and is passionate about providing quality care and guidance to children and their families.
I really can’t recommend her highly enough. You can’t find better childcare.
