Janine’s setting is truly unique. My son started at 2.5 years old and it offers so much more than a traditional nursery or childminding environment, making it perfect for children who are ready to explore, learn, and grow in a more enriching way. Set in the beautiful forest setting, there are endless opportunities for children to develop a genuine love of nature and spend time outdoors with lots of freedom and chances to discover new things each day.

She encourages independence in every child regardless of their age, and thoughtfully creates new activities each week that inspire learning in fun and inventive ways. The crafts and ideas she introduces are always so creative and far beyond what I would think to do at home.

We love how you can feel Janine’s passion in everything she does, it really shows in the care and attention she gives the children to create exciting and adventurous days. My son is excited to go every day, and it’s so reassuring to see how much he trusts and loves her.

Janine has also created a warm and exciting culture regularly hosting seasonal gatherings that bring parents and children together.

My son has made some wonderful friends and if we weren’t moving away, I would have kept him with Janine until he starts school.

Her setting goes far beyond what you might expect from a typical childcare provider, it’s an environment where children can truly thrive and we will be gutted to leave her soon.
