Our little boy is 2.5 years old and has been going to Jody’s since he was 9 months old. Sonny settled in very easily and is always so so happy to go to Jody’s. Jody and her whole family are lovely and so caring, when Sonny is there he is treated as part of the family and has lovely relationships with Jody’s own children which is great. I know when he is there is he is happy and well cared for. They go to play groups during the week and it is toys galore at her house. We cannot recommend Jody enough as a fantastic childminder. Lee-anne & Oli (happy parents) 😄

Our daughter was cared for by Jody from 11months until 2 1/2years old. Jody provides a loving home from home environment and our daughter was treated as a part of the family. Whilst with Jody she enjoyed going out to play groups, the park, doing arts and crafts and playing and learning with the other children in her care
During her time with Jody our daughter was diagnosed with Coeliac's disease and Jody worked with us to ensure that she did not come into contact with any gluten whilst in her care - which we are extremely grateful for.
Jody's professional and caring nature meant that we always felt that our daughter was safe with her which brought great peace of mind when returning to work. Thank you Jody :)

I didn’t know where to start when looking for a childminder when my daughter was 6 months old.
I visited quite a few childminders but with Jody my gut told me she was right for my child.
She is very warm and loving and my daughter took to her very quickly.
She’s 2 now and Is always asking to go to her house. She plays games, keeps them entertained, takes them to play groups and to the park. She encourages them to interact and play with other children. Jody respects my food choices for my child and also protects her if other children start to be horrible. I’m kept up to date, can look at photographs and she gives child advice as well. A star. Jody treats my child as if she’s her own and my child is often cuddling her children.
I feel very at peace knowing my child is loved and cared for as if she’s their own.
Definitely recommend her.

Seeking childcare for your child can be stressful as your sort off going into the unknown. You want to know that your child is going to get the best possible care and I have found this with Jody.
We visited her home initially and instantly knew that this was a happy home and a safe environment for our son. Jody is very professional and always on hand to advise should you need it. My son adores Jody and her family and it wonderful to see that he is treated like one of her own.
She never forgets special occasions like birthdays, Christmas, Easter etc and the gifts for mothers and Father's Day are beautiful gifts that can be kept for a lifetime. Jody takes photos of the daily activities and uploads them to an online diary 'Toucan Learn'. This is a great way for those special memories to be shared and stay up to date.
It's clear that Jody loves her job and we're so happy that she has been part of our sons early years and we would highly recommend Jody.

My daughter is 17 months old and has been with Jody for 3 days a week since January 2017.
On meeting Jody and her family my husband and I knew straight away that this was where we were happy to leave our daughter while we are at work.
It is clear from the first meeting that Jody is a great mum who loves caring for children. She met with us on numerous occasions to go through policy's and make sure that our daughter was comfortable in her home by offering settling in sessions. We met everyone who would be in contact with our child throughout the day.
Our daughter loves going to Jody's house she chatters non stop about Jodys own children, sings songs they have sung to her...she is cared for as if she is part of their family! They visit the park and local play groups and take part in various craft activities. Jody keeps up with all the events in the Calandar, pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, Valentine's cards and a beautiful Mother's Day gift.
She reports daily activities on Toucan learn which we can check during the day at work and it's great when photos are posted. Jody tries hard to accommodate routines from home and will always send an instant message if there are any significant changes. She has been quick to spot when our little girl has been under the weather and has offered useful tips when she's been teething!
My husband and I whole heartedly recommend Jody as a childcare provider and so would our daughter!
