4 stars

Jo is a very kind and lovely lady, with loads of experience. She is flexible and reliable and tries to help as much as she can. She was so lovely with my little boy and he was the first childcare provider away from family network, she was very understanding at this difficult time returning to work. If you want a homely environment with a warm and friendly maternal childminder. She is your lady. Thank you for all you done for us Jo.

A wonderful childminder

5 stars

Jo has looked after my 15 month old daughter, Sophie, for 4 full days a week since October 2012. Sophie absolutely loves visiting Jo and her family! More often than not Sophie doesn't even notice when I come to collect her. It is really comforting to know that Sophie is in such good hands when we leave her with Jo for the day.

Jo makes home cooked food for the children she cares for, and all the snacks she gives Sophie are healthy options. It is good to know that Sophie is eating nutritious healthy food with Jo.

Jo has literally hundreds of toys for the children to play with. She also takes Sophie to activities such as Mega Bounce and Antics, as well as other trips out (such as to the garden centre to see the reindeer over Christmas!). She also meets up with other childminders, so Sophie gets to socialise with other children of her own, and other, ages.

Jo gets the children she looks after involved in craft activities and cooking, which is lovely! We were presented with an array of goodies which Sophie had helped to make at Christmas time.

All in all we are really happy with the care Jo gives Sophie. She is reliable, honest and kind and really dedicated to the development of the children in her care. My husband and I know that Sophie is cared for and developing in a "home from home" environment, and would not hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone.

Good quality childcare

5 stars

Joanna has looked after my daughter on a part time basis since she was 3 months old. I am completely confident that she not only receives the highest standards of care bur also really enjoys spending time with Jo and the other children. Having known Jo's family personally for some time, I was keen that she would become my Ciara's childminder as I was assred of her professionalism, integrity and commitment to the children.

For the moment Ciara goes to Joanna's one day per week and she always comes back contented, well fed and tired out from playing all day. Jo has also been great in providing vegetarian alternatives for Ciara's meals. The house is full of toys and games for the kijds and they have a well structured day which involves organised activities and free play time as well as trips out and about.

I am totally confident in Joanna's ability and standard of care. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone.

Great Childminder

5 stars

Jo has been looking after my son Jasper who is 2 since July and he loves going there. Jasper has only had family look after him before Jo started looking after him but he's settled in really well with Jo.

Jo has lots of toys for the kids to play with and does various different activities with them. Jo takes Jasper to Antics once a week which he loves and she often takes him to Bounce and Roll and to different parks.

Jasper is always happy when I leave him with Jo and I feel very comfortable in the fact that he is in safe hands.

I think Jo is a great Childminder and is friendly and easy to get on with. I think she is very good with Jasper and she is honest and reliable and I would not hesitate in recommending her as a childminder.

A good childminder

5 stars

Jo has looked after my 2 year old son, George, for the past 8 months. In that time she has developed a good understanding of his individual personality and has made sure his days with her are full of fun activities and lots of socialising which he enjoys. George feels very secure with Jo and her family and often talks about them on the days he is not with them. There is always a lot of laughter in the house when I drop him off and collect him and I have been able to get on with my day knowing he is being well looked after.

It has been a delight when George has brought home a picture, craft item or cookie he has made e.g. for Christmas and Easter. He is always very proud of himself.

George also loves the seemingly infinite number of toys Jo has to play with, enough to satisfy even his endless curiosity!

Good, honest, reliable childcare

5 stars

Joanna looked after our daughter for two years and we were very happy with the care she gave her. As first time parents we were nervous about leaving our 13-month old toddler in a new environment despite being reassured by Jo's experience and positive recomendations. However, Jo was a star throughout the whole process and our little one settled in very happily. Over the two years we were thrilled to watch our daughter develop confidently in a home from home environment. Jo's family are lovely which was an added bonus. She loved playing with the other children in Jo's care as well as getting stuck into arts and crafts and enjoying trips to the park and leisure centre for soft play. Jo was also brilliant when it came to working with us on potty training and incorporating dietary needs to meal times when needed. Overall a thumbs up from us and from our 3 year old.

Very good with both children

5 stars

Jo has looked after my two children Alex who is 5 for 4 years and Emma who is 2 for 18 months. She has been very good with both children in helping them gain confidence and introducing them to new things.

The house is well set up for children with a nice living room kitchen and large garden. The family are all very good with the children and the children are very fond of them.

Jo is keen on craft and the children bring thing home for Christmas, Easter etc. She takes them out to farms, parks and the leisure centre and each year they have a special trip to London or a theme park.

She cooks excellent healthy food and is good at encouraging them to eat differnt things.
