Our son has been going to Jo's for just over a year now & as parents we couldn't be happier, both how well he settled in to begin with & how much he continues to enjoy every day he spends with Jo, her family & the other children that she looks after, not to mention Molly the dog who he absolutely loves. He often talks about Jo & the other children on the days he's not there & says 'hooray' when he arrives at Jo's in the morning, which for us is as glowing an endorsement as you might get from a 1 year old.

We first got in touch with Jo when our son was 9 months old & the idea of leaving our baby with someone else was something we both found difficult, however any reservations we had soon disappeared as she immediately put us at ease while our son felt quite at home in Jo's house in no time at all.

Jo's communication with us as parents is excellent, whether through daily updates, photos or her regular newsletters, all of which ensure that we're kept well informed of our son's progress & it's clear that she takes his wellbeing & development just as seriously as we do. We feel that Jo provides just the right balance between routine - important for any young child - and variety, with plenty of stimulating activities such as cooking, outings, crafts & and excellent range of different toys & games.

In addition our son loves Jo's tasty & healthy home cooked food ,so much so that we often find ourselves commenting that we'd rather have had what Jo was cooking for dinner instead of what we've planned for ourselves!

We have no doubt that the Outsdanding rating from Ofsted is a fair reflection of the standard of childcare that Jo provides & we wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone that's weighing up their options for the care of their child.
