Clueless as to why I have been blocked by yourself especially for no reason , I would have respected more if you had contacted me to tell me you couldn’t commit anymore !! leaving me in lurch with only a couple weeks until I am due to start work . Thanks .

Excellent service

5 stars

My 2 year old son has been going to Jane's a few months now. Her house and garden are the perfect setting for indoor/outdoor activities for kids of all ages. Jane provides healthy meals and snacks. Jane is a very patient person particularly when my son has had "terrible 2" moments! Would highly recommend her.

Great Childminder. recommended

5 stars

My little boy is one and has been going to Jane since December, as I started back work full time. As every mother. I was anxious leaving my baby with a minder. Jane called me to let me know how things were and really reassured me. Now my little boy absolutely loves going. He is so excited when we draw up in the car in the morning and waves me goodbye with Jane. I have found Jane to be very approachable and is absolutely brilliant with the kids. I really recommend her. Jane is very accommodating also. I cant praise her enough for her efforts. I have found Jane to really engage with my child and have a great bond. I leave Janes feeling happy and know my boy is in the best of care. Jane has really
brought my boy on leaps and bounds. I am so glad I found Jane as my child's minder.
