We are delighted with the care our child has received at Tambies Raising Stars (TRS) over the past five months, and we would not hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone looking for a kind, caring and nurturing childminder.

Choosing the right childcare was a very important decision for us, as it is for any parent, and Jo came highly recommended by a friend whose children had attended her setting. After our initial visit, we immediately felt so comfortable — Jo has created a lovely, cosy environment with both indoor and outdoor space where children can learn, play and feel at home.

The settling-in process was very well planned and thoughtful, and our son has taken part in a wide range of activities which he really enjoys. Jo also keeps us updated every day, which was especially reassuring during the settling-in period when drop-offs can sometimes be a little emotional. It’s very comforting to know how his day has gone and what he has been doing.

We really couldn’t ask for anything more and would struggle to find anyone more caring and loving to look after our child. People often say they treat the children in their care like their own, but with Jo we truly believe this is the case.
