Would definitely recommend!

5 stars

Janet has been looking after our 2.5 year-old son since we was 3 month-old and we are all so happy about it. So much so he stayed with her even when we moved a bit further away, and our second son quickly followed his brother’s steps when he turned 3 months. She is very caring, flexible and always put the child’s safety first, as we’ve experienced with our second son developing a food allergy she was very reactive looking for medical help. We love the fact that it’s a mini community with a bunch of children of different ages, not just two or three. The whole team is fun and caring, they kids a great time there. Our son really has his little group of friends. They always follow the calendar events and have little parties and craft sessions for Halloween, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Easter, etc. When the sanitary situation allows it, they attend playgroups both indoors and outdoors. At the moment, they mostly play in the dedicated playroom and her back garden with plenty of toys to entertain them in both (trampoline, motorbike...). They do a lot of singing and dancing too, our first son loves it! Janet follows closely development stages of the children and will help them reach them (sitting down, holding his bottle etc...). We can say that Janet is like a third grandma to our sons and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. We’ve recommended her to many friends already!

She's an extension of the family!

5 stars

Our daughter went to Janet's from 9 months to nearly 5 when she went to school.
Janet has always been very understanding and flexible. Being foreigners, she was almost like a grandma for our daughter who still wants to call and text her every time something exciting happens to her!
Have recommended her to several friends, she's great!

Lovely Childminder

5 stars

Janet looked after my son from 1 to 3 years of age, until we moved house and was a bit far to travel. She also picked up my older son, who was 9/10 years old, from primary school and had both of my children on half terms. Janet and her team are loving, fun, professional and organised. My sons had a great time and developed well whilst in her care. Highly recommend Janet and her team.

Great childminder

5 stars

Our son has been with Janet for the last 2 years, full time. He has been happy there, made very good friends and learnt a lot. Janet knows his personality very well and helped us a lot during his development. There must be a rich learning environment at Janet's, because we are often surprised by our son's ability to recount nursery rhymes and songs.

Our son loves the food that Janet prepares every day, which includes a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Janet is also great at instilling good manners in our son which can be an uphill struggle with toddlers!
