Jo is an excellent and highly recommended childminder. She has a lovely home setting and very enthusiastic about delivering high quality child care. Jo has looked after two of my children and she does a fantastic job. Jo will provide regular updates of the day with pictures and the activities the children are doing, including how this is relevant to the early years foundation framework.
If you are looking for a reliable, safe and nurturing childminder in bishops Stortford then I would highly recommend Jo.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot 🥰
It’s been an absolute pleasure looking after both your little ones and being part of their journey. I’m so glad you feel happy and reassured with the care and updates I provided, that’s always my aim!
I truly appreciate your recommendation and support 🤍
Our son has been with Jo 2–3 days a week since he had just turned one, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. We were very nervous about choosing someone to look after our little boy, but from the very beginning she has treated him like one of her own family, creating such a warm, caring and safe environment for him.
He loves going to her house and is always so excited to see her, which means everything. It’s so reassuring to know he is somewhere he feels happy and comfortable, and he has made some lovely friendships with the other children too.
Jo keeps us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which we really appreciate and love seeing. It’s clear how much time, care and attention she gives to the children, and we’ve seen such lovely development in our son during the time he’s been with her.
We feel very lucky to have found Jo and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
