Jessica's 5 Star Reviews

Incredible provider

Little Hoppers is an incredible nurturing setting, also provides an incredible learning space both inside and outside. Jess is always finding ways and new ideas of developing children's understanding of the world and thier learning.
One thing I really like about Little Hoppers is the children are always so engaged in thier play whilst the environment remains calm and peaceful. I also really like that the children have access to very natural materials and this has really deepened my daughters imagination in her play.
Jess provides such amazing opportunities for the children not only in the setting but out on trips to many places like: National trust, strawberry picking and feeding lambs to mention just a few.
We recieve regular updates during the day, I feel Jess goes above and beyond at this, but I love receiving them, so am really appreciative of Jess for this.
During my time with Little Hoppers we have always received advanced notice of setting closures and have been kept upto date on any policy changes. All policies are in line with both Ofsted and Goverment regulations and are the same as they would be in any other childminders or nursery setting.

5* childcare

Our little one has been with Jess for just over a year and moving him from a nursery setting has been the best thing we ever did.
Jess is an amazing practitioner, always thinking of ways to encourage children’s learning and building upon their likes.
Jess provides daily updates with pictures (something we rarely got at his nursery setting!) she keeps us informed of his daily learning and a general run down of the day.
Jess has created some amazing experiences my little one wouldn’t of received in a normal nursery setting such as visits to national trust grounds, strawberry picking, visits to an equestrian centre twice monthly to look after a pony, trips to the park, library etc.
Alongside these amazing outings, Jess provides a great learning space in her home and garden. She’s invested in her garden to encourage learning through play outside as well as creating some lovely spaces inside her home such as the play room and reading snug!
Jess has always been clear on her illness policies and we respect these as we know she is looking out for other children in her setting and ensuring her setting is safe for all.
It must be noted that since starting with Jess, our little one has grown ten fold. She has encouraged his speech and his independence as well as his love for the outdoors and animals around him. We are so pleased we get to stay with Jess for another year before school and I will recommend Jess to anyone who asks for a childminder.

Olivia

The best thing we ever did, was locate Jess❤️. I was provided her details from a friend. My little girl will be four in August. Olivia's progress in 1 year has been amazing. The attention to the children's learning and the beautiful setting, she runs in so happy. I can see an amazing family network and animals which feels like a second family for Olivia. Olivia daily cant wait to return to be with her friends, stories, music and play time. Children are out all day long , regular updates as to their progress and learning. Really useful advise to Olivia's health and illness. Olivia starts school in Sept, she is so ready thanks to Jess hard work, setting and commitment. We have a good relationship, i will be sad when Olivia starts school . I really believe Jess would made a great teacher, Olivia every day ❤️ the progression. Thank you
