Below are the latest reviews for Julia . Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Our daughter, Arty, joined Julia's on Fridays only in April 2022, and has loved it since day one. She was almost 18months when she joined.
Julia's setting has a family feel because it's just Julia with no assistants, so the number of children looked after is limited. Julia's own children add more consistency, too, and our daughter loves the holidays especially when Julia's daughter is around to play with!
Julia is straightforward and honest, she's easy to talk to, and keeps us well updated about how Arty is doing.
We often bump into her out and about, as she lives nearby, and we can see how much our daughter loves Julia from how excited she gets. She talks about her all week and we can get her really hyped up about Friday being "Julia Day".
Julia has also helped us out covering extra days when our other childminder is on holiday, which only adds to Arty's excitement (and making our lives much simpler!)
We would definitely recommend Julia's setting.
