Jo P

The most fantastic childminder.

Jojo cared for both of our two boys from a year old, until they transitioned to full-time nursey and school. Her setting is warm, calm and loving, and the boys were welcomed into her home as if they were family, and Jojo soon felt like an extension of ours. She still helps us with childcare from time to time, and the boys love being back with her. We always liked the combination of play, creative fun, and education, helping the boys to develop various life, social, and motor skills. They made regular trips outdoors to the park, Wetlands, library, and pre-school clubs, and Jojo’s three meals of home-cooked food was great for them and helped us immensely logistically. We couldn’t recommend Jojo enough x

Jojo is the very best!

Jojo welcomed (always with open arms and a huge smile!) our daughter into her wonderful home 3 days a week from 8 months until she was 3.5 years. Her setting is incredibly nurturing, a 'home from home' environment, filled with so much love, kindness and warmth. Jo plans the day with lovely activities and adventures for the children and she cooks delicious and nutritious home cooked meals each day. Our daughter made some amazing friendships whilst at Jo's, they all had such a fantastic bond. We received lovely pictures throughout the day and our daughter always had a beaming smile on her face. Jo is amazing at offering advice and guidance at key development milestones, her calmness and patience was always so reassuring. Our daughter just adored her days with Jo and I only wish she could have stayed longer, we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Jojo was, and will remain a huge part of our daughter's early years.

Wonderful childminder

My husband and I have only great things to say about Jojo and her setting. Our daughter was there 3 days a week for 1.5years. We were so relaxed leaving her with Jojo because she was so at ease there. Jojo does an amazing job doing so many activities , indoor and outdoor all year round. All the food is home cooked, delicious and of course very nutritious. Our daughter thrived in her setting and Jojo played a huge part in her development. I never imagined how happy she would be at another persons home but it felt safe and secure and our daughter loved going there. Jojo would always send daily updates and communicate regularly with us on what the children were doing and learning. It’s a small group which means the children get amazing care and attention all the time. She is truly wonderful and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Amazing experience

We have so enjoyed having our son at Jo’s setting. She is a fantastic childminder and the children in her setting are so happy. She provides them with high quality meals, lovely outdoor adventures, clear boundaries and fun activities. Jo is very communicative with parents - sending regular daily updates as well as sharing observations about your child’s developmental progress and milestones. Our son thrived there and I only wish we could have stayed longer. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Jojo is one of a kind!

Jojo has looked after our little girl since she was 9 months old And is now 2 and bit. She absolutely
Loves her days with Jojo and cannot wait to run in to her lovely home. She is fed like a queen and entertained non stop. She has learnt a lot since being with Jojo and also loves the outdoor adventures along the river and seeing the ducks. We are beyond lucky to have found such a caring and loving childminder with such a lovely set up, her grown up children are also amazing with the little ones. We will be forever grateful for all she has done for us!

one of a kind!

My daughter was cared for by Jojo 3 days a week from 1 years old for 7 months, I truly wish she could have stayed with her for longer. We only stopped because we are moving out of the country.
My daughter is very bubbly, kind and funny, although Jojo said this is something she has learnt from us, i truly believe Jojo has played a huge part in shaping her and her development, for that I can't thank Jojo enough.
The setting Jojo has is like a home from home with all the educational toys you could possibly think of. She takes the kids on adventurous outings and if it's a rainy day always schedules in activities at home to keep them occupied. My daughter always came back happy and content. Jojo also made them the most delicious meals and snacks packed with lots of nutrients and vitamins, I always said I wish I could eat there!
I can not recommend Jojo enough, she is so kind, caring, thoughtful and so calm, always checking in with updates, feedback, lovely photos and videos, something we looked forward to everyday.
Jojo also has a lovely daughter and son who get involved and care for the children as much as she does, they had our full trust always.
My daughter loved every minute being at Jojo's and with the friends she made there too. We all miss Jojo very much we will definitely keep in touch with her and highly recommend her.

One in million!

From day one we loved having Jo as our son’s childminder. He was with her 3 full days per week from the age of 9 months for 8 months. She is caring & kind and her warmth and calmness are infectious. She has a lovely home and makes great use of the many good places to take children in the local area. Easy to communicate with, providing regular & detailed updates and feedback, she had our total trust and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Our son loved going there and we only stopped using Jo as we moved away from the area. We will all miss her greatly!
