I couldn’t be happier with the care my son has received over the past 4 months. At 15 months old, settling him in was something I was naturally a little nervous about, but Aunty Janet made the entire process so smooth and reassuring. She is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and from the very beginning made my son feel comfortable, safe, and happy in her care.
Aunty Janet has created such a beautiful home-from-home environment. Her setting is warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for little ones. She also has a safe and secure garden, along with an amazing additional space for the children to play and explore, which my son absolutely loves.
She really takes the time to understand his individual needs and routines, ensuring each day works perfectly for him. Since starting, I’ve seen such lovely progress in his development — he’s now walking, growing in confidence, and even beginning to learn his phonics. It’s clear that he spends his days not only being well cared for, but also learning through play in a fun and engaging environment.
I’m also so grateful for the support with his routine, especially as I prepare to return to work. If Janet hadn’t been available, I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to return to work following my maternity leave, which shows just how invaluable her support has been. It’s made such a positive difference for both of us.
He eats well, is settled, and comes home happy every day, which is the most important thing.
Thank you so much, Aunty Janet — I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey with you.

Janet has looked after all 3 of my children but especially my youngest who has been cared for by Janet for 7 years and sees her as family. Janet provides a safe and structured environment where all the children and their parents feel happy and confident to be there. She has a varied itinerary of activities catering for all ages making sure they are stimulated, occupied and having fun. She has a beautiful garden and play house for the children to use and she feeds all of them every single day on a rotating menu ensuring they always have a hot balanced meal. My 10 year old has told me she wants to go to Aunty Janet's forever which is the best testament to how happy the children she looks after feel in her home. I know in the future when she reflects on her childhood some of her happiest memories will be the time she spent at peace of mind, interacting, playing and learning with her peers.

If Janet wasn’t available to look after my children then I wouldn’t have returned to work.
It’s home from home and my kids can’t wait for the half term to go to Aunty Janet’s and see what they’re doing for the day.
Excellent service at all times!!!

My children have been looked after by Peace of Mind child minding for many years now. I have a 3 year old boy and a 1 year old girl. They have learned so much as they have many daily activities, outings and lots of educational activities too. I couldn't ask for anything more for my children. A very rewarding experience for them. Thank you Janet.
