My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Jo Tame I'm 43 years old, I live in Carlton Colville with my husband and my two boys aged 21 & 19. I originally registered in 2005 and worked as a childminder for 7 years. Unfortunately due to a change in my personal circumstances I was forced to give up my business. Since then I have worked as a school midday supervisor and as a teaching assistant in a local nursery but in september 2014 I decided to go back to what I love best.
I am able to offer your child a home from home experience. I have a large playroom with a wide selection of toys, games and art supplies. I have a large, secure garden with outdoor toys.
I also have an upstairs bedroom where your child can nap away from the other children.

From the minute I met Jo I knew she was the right childminder for my little boy, she was so warm and friendly. Going to back to work and leaving my little boy was a big step for me but I have always felt at ease leaving him with Jo, when he first started he had issues with separation from me and sleeping but in just a few weeks he is sleeping all night, comes home singing and runs to her door when I drop him off..the difference in him has been unbelievable. I highly recommend her ?

Jo is excellent with our little two year old boy. Very helpful and informative with new things that he has learnt during being with Jo. He really enjoys spending time with Jo and her family.
Very highly recommended.

I searched for a childminder for my 4 children this was hard work after asking 5 minders I knew about I was informed to speak with jo. Very positive jo could fit all 4 of mine in during holidays n had my youngest girl during term time. We faced worry as my daughter has problems with hearing and speech but jo wasn't fazed she took era time with her and asked me any words she didn't know but I can say how happy and great flu I am for jo and the help she has provided my girl to have. I can't ask for more she has done as proud as a family and helped us wen it was needed most. The holidays was the 1 how would she keep 4 kids entertained all of different age ranges but she did it I heard from all how much fun, laughter n fab time they had. So jo thank u so much for all ya time and hard work we will still b seeing u during holidays x

Initially the thought of having my child in the care of somebody else scared me, because I didn't want somebody he didn't know looking after him. However, we couldn't escape the need to have a childminder since I returned to work. We met Jo, in her home and straight away we knew that my little one felt comfortable around her. The children have a play room to use, and can escape into the garden, or take a nap in her home. Jo takes my son to play groups, integrates with other childminders in the area and frequently goes up the park. I cant tell you how much it means to me to have artwork to bring home after being with her all day, I could not recommend her enough!! xx
