After being incredibly anxious after two previously bad experiences at another childminder and a nursery, we have finally found somewhere where my child is thriving!
Jess is the most incredible childminder and couldn’t be more caring and loving towards the children in her care. She instantly made me feel at ease and my child fell in love with her and was so comfortable. Since joining Pinewood she is like a different child, she comes home happy everyday and is so excited to tell me what she’s done. She is alway asking to go back every morning and is so excited to go there.
When it’s been hot she has provided her with lots of opportunities to cool down, including plenty of shade, water and lots of water play! She even brought a new paddling pool for them to explore with my daughter LOVES!! We’ve never had any issues with her coming back burnt or overheated!
My child has several allergies and medical needs and Jess is able to meet them exceptionally well! If she ever has any concerns she’ll always ask!
I have absolutely no concerns or doubts over my child’s level of care or safety while at Pinewood. I can go to work and know she is happy, loved, safe and well cared for while she is there!
If you are looking for an exceptional high level of childcare, then look no further! Jess is incredible!

As an anxious first time parent, I wanted to ensure I found a childcare provider i could trust. Whilst scrolling through this website, i found Jess! She was kind, caring, knowledgeable and had years of experience behind her. After our first meeting with Jess, my partner and I both agreed that's the childminder we want.
My 2 year old son has a speech and walking delay, Jess and her family have been incredibly supportive, Since starting with her last September, my son has come incredibly far with both his speech and walking! My son even took his first independent steps at her house today!
The activities she plans on a daily basis are so great and varied, I often look upon what she's doing so i can get ideas! The activities have taught him so much, his colours, his numbers and much more! She regularly posts pictures/updates on the app so I'm able to check in whenever to see how he's doing.
I am extremely happy I found Jess, she and her family have been a huge positive influence on not only my son, but me. I'd recommend Jess to anyone, especially first time parents who have the same anxiety i once did, your child would be incredibly safe here.
