Jane

Thank you always

My DS joined Jane Ann at the age of 6 months and recently left at the age of 3yrs. I can’t thank her enough for everything, I left him on long days at a young age but was reassured by Jane Ann’s kindness and compassion, my DS was always excited and happy and made some lovely relationships.

a unicorn of childminders!

Our son has been in Jane's care since he was 10 months old, and he's almost four now, so is moving on to school. I hearts are broken at the thought of not having Jane in our daily lives. My son adores her, she has given him the best start in life, she has nurtured and taught him so many things - even to write his name - and he is ready for his next move. She takes them on fabulous outings, feeds them lovely food, she has a great setting / play room. Jane is a childminder because she loves it, it's in her heart, we were honestly so lucky to find her and we can't recommend her enough!

Can’t thank her enough!!

Jane Ann has been taking care of my daughter since she was one year old, for over 2 years, and we’ve always been so happy with her. She is kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful, smiling…. She is the best! She knows so well how to get the best of kids and helps them to become confident and independent. My daughter was always so happy, couldn’t wait to go every morning! It’s sad our little one is not so little anymore…Jane Ann has helped my whole family on so many occasions, she is our saviour, and we can’t thank her enough!! Blanca Rodrigo-Ibanez

Superb childminder

Jane Ann has been a childminder to all 3 of my children over the years, I couldn’t have imagined using anyone else to care for my little ones. She couldn’t do enough to help me and my children and I will be always grateful to her.
The setting the children play in is amazing! It’s like an actual nursery which I think is great. The children go on weekly outings as well which is great for their development. 5 +++++

Caring, Consistent, Boundaried, Flexible

Jane-Anne cared for our first son from around 12months of age until he started nursery at 3yrs, 9months of age. Jane-Anne also cared for our second son from 18 months until just before he turned 3 years as we had to move.

Jane-Anne, supported by her small and long serving team, has been a consistent/calm/caring/boundaried person in our sons lives, and also our lives as parents trying to navigate it all … without a map.

Jane-Anne is passionate about what she does. She loves it and she loves the children. She is really exceptional. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and we miss her as do the boys.

I cannot recommend Jane highly enough. Amazing!

I cannot put into words how wonderful Jane is, from the very first meeting we were confident that Jane would be the only person we would entrust with the care of our daughter.
I was nervous returning to work and about finding the right setting for our daughter. We visited many childcare providers, childminders, nurseries etc but none felt right, that is until we found Jane.

Jane as a person is confident, caring and dedicated, it is clear from the outset that this is not a just a job for Jane, she invests everything into the children she cares for and that is evidenced by the wonderful environment she has created in her home. Walking into Jane's is like walking into a nursery setting with all the bells and whistles but with the personal touch you get with a childminder. It's a home away from home that nurtures learning through play and a dedication to care.
We have been blown away by the sheer level of activities our daughter does with Jane, as mentioned the childcare setting in itself is amazing but Jane does not stop there, my daughter has been on so many wonderful outings with Jane; they regularly take trips to London Zoo, farms, walks in the woods where they search for bugs etc, the museum of childhood and the London eye to name but a few. They also go pumpkin picking in the autumn and to see Santa at Christmas. And we get to share a piece of our daughters experiences with Jane through the photo's she sends us and through the detailed books that Jane makes for us to document our childs early years development.

Jane has cared for our daughter since she was 10 months old and feels like another member of the family rather than a childcare provider. The care and dedication shown towards our daughter is second to none, we count our blessing daily that we found Jane! I cannot recommend Jane highly enough, anyone that is lucky enough to get a place with Jane for their child is a very lucky person indeed!

And I forgot to mention the food! Jane provides such healthy, tasty and well balanced food. Honestly these children eat so well!

Excellent!

My son absolutely loves Jane-Anne she looked after him for almost a year before he started full time nursery. He talks about her often and recalls the fun times he had whilst in her care. She made us all feel as though we were family and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I feel really blessed that we found her.

Outstanding childminder

Jane's places are always in high demand and it is no wonder. She is a childminder extraordinaire!

My daughter has spent two delightful pre-school years full-time with Jane, who now feels like a member of our family.

Jane has created a wonderfully warm and stimulating learning environment in her home. She is skilled at getting to know every child as an individual and sensitively tailoring her provision to their needs. She plans brilliant trips - they're always out and about in all weathers. And she fosters confidence in the children, developing their independence and helping them to form firm friendships.

My daughter has flourished under Jane's care and is now in a great place to move on to her next adventure of starting school. I can't recommend Jane highly enough!

Brilliant!!

I have been using Jane since 2014 and can honestly say she has been a blessing to me and my children! Couldn’t have found a better childminder.
Also at the end of the school year I get a homemade book with pictures of the children, there work and places they’ve been which is a lovely touch as well.

Excellent Child Care Provider

I have been using Jane’s child care services since 2001 when I had my first child, there was not doubt about it when I had my second child that she was the option I wanted for my son. Her bespoke approach, ability and understanding towards individual learning styles is second to none. Jane allows a child to develop their personality by stimulating their environment to suit their needs.

Being that Jane is highly qualified and is always continuously gaining up to date knowledge of children’s growth and development also education through maintaining that she is up to date with the latest continuing professional development (CPD) .

My son always comes home happy especially during the holiday time when she organises day out adventures.
