JoJo

Amazing childcare

We have found JoJo through a page on Facebook called Thanet Childminders (as I was told later, page is run and moderated by Jo as well, great help for local parents and carers). She is located very close to us, and provides pick-ups from my girl's school, so it was easy to get in touch. My research prior to contacting Jo was surprising - most of my neighbours has known her for taking care of their or their friends' children, so thought she must be a local celebrity in a childminders world :) And when we met and settled our terms, I couldn't be more amazed. JoJo is a one-band woman of a childminding! My daughter always learn something new, goes somewhere new or brings some new ideas from visit's at Jojo's house. There's always plenty to do and company to play with, no wonder that H. never want's to leave Jo's place. I am always amazed with amount of crafts they do and skills they gain, my little girl just learned to sew a felt toy, all with Jo's guidance and supervision. Jo is sometimes handling a bunch of kids, but they are playing together well and I know that my daughter loves to be in a busy group, as she is an only child and very sociable. They not only do crafting, but go out and about as well. I couldn't recommend JoJo's childcare more, she is just the one we need and so much more.

Thank you so much 🥰

The best decision we have made for our son

My son Jack started at Jo's a year ago at 10 months old. He was very shy and afraid of loud noises at the time and I was too nervous about putting him into nursery as it just didn't feel like the right fit for his nature.
Just over a year on, he is thriving and so sociable and happy! Jo has provided him with a home-like environment and probably as many cuddles (and definitely more fun!) than he would have at home!
I was blown away by her dedication to her career on our first visit and that has continued throughout. Jack learns new things, engages in new activities and has fun every day.
As a working mum, I'm also eternally grateful for Jo's support and guidance at what behaviours and learning we should be continuing at home to keep his development consistent.
We couldn't recommend 'JoJo' enough.
(Ps - I have not starred food as he has packed lunch, which has not been a problem at all. Jo is always on hand with a sandwich if I forget!)

So happy

My Children attend Jo's and have been so happy and well cared for for the past 9 years. She is friendly and I regard her as part of my family I am not sure what I would do without her. She is an Outstanding Childminder x
