My Summary
About Me
Hello we are miles of smiles childcare
Hello, my name is Jodie and I co work with my mum Janet Speirs
we are Ofsted registered childminders in the Islington N1 area just off Essex road with close links to Highbury & Islington and the city.
we have a lovely playroom with a range of fun, educational, interactive toys and activities so children can explore more.
We have a large garden filled with sand, water, soft play, trampoline and many more for the children to learn and have fun with, we pride ourselves in creating activities and experiences for children in a comfortable and happy environment providing lots stimulating activities, trips outdoors, following the EYFS.
We encourage children to be themselves and support there development individually and as a group through play.
At Miles of smiles we love getting creative with lots of messy and sensory play.
We here at Miles of Smiles provide healthy daily fresh homecooked meals with snacks throughout the day.
We attend regular stay and play during the week and often go off and explore such as feeding the ducks, going to the zoo, museums, walks down the canal and the local library.
We provide parents with daily diaries filled with a breakdown of children's days and learning journey books, filled with photos and tracking showing the children’s journeys and fun in our setting.
We have loved watching our children grow in our setting enabling them to feel confident to move on and explore the big wide world
we are still in contact with children that have moved on as at Miles of Smiles we all become a extended family unit.
I myself have worked with children for around 12 years in various roles such as nursery nurse, nanny, babysitting and childminding, am also a proud mummy to my daughter aged 11 and my son aged 5.

Janet and Jodie are warm, loving, and communicative caregivers. They looked after our 2-year-old son while we were on an extended stay in London, and our son nearly jumped out of bed each morning, looking forward to spending the day with Janet and Jodie. They are gentle and sweet and were always communicative with us - sharing pictures and providing advice, which made us feel like our son was in great hands. They make lovely home-cooked meals for the kids each day, and our son loved their food :) We highly recommend them!

Looked after three year old while nursery was closed - they were fantastic! Really lovely setting with tonnes of toys and games - he didn’t want to come home on the first visit!
Activity packed days meant he was happy and tired at the end of the day with lots to tell me about where they had been and the little adventures he had found. He loved the pet turtles and has added to his Christmas list.
Jodie and Janet are lovely and it’s a really welcoming family setting that was safe and secure. He ate the home cooked meals (to the shock of his mum!) and had a brilliant time. Was so good to be able to feel secure that he was well cared for while we had to work. Regular updates and messages were well received and could see how happy he was.
Highly recommend and will be using again - and letting all the other parents know.
