My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Jude and I am married with four beautiful children aged 26, 19, 16 and 12 year old.
I have a nice sized house and large garden with many indoor and outdoor resources / equipment for all ages and stages of development.
I attend toddler groups, library, parks and farm on a regular basis. I am an active person and enjoy doing different activities with the children. We enjoy arts & crafts, cooking, role play, and much more....... I enjoy my job and feel the children I care for become our extended family.
I live in walking distance to Nazeing primary school and I do school drop offs and pick ups.
My Experience
I have been childminding for 26 years (since my son was a baby.) I have cared for many children during this time and I am still intouch with many of them. I started childminding to find a 'playmate' for my first child and have enjoyed every minute of it. My children have gained wonderful experiences with others. They have built loving relationships from birth and learnt social skills from an early age. I offer 'home from home' childcare and I enjoy working with parents and families to gain the best from their children. I believe working together helps the child reach their full potential.
I have experience with children with allergies.
I attend all training courses available to keep me updated in childcare issues.

We were incredibly lucky to get into Judy’s care, and now I understand why she is in such high demand. She is a wonderful, warm person. I am the mother of a little girl who has been battling cancer since she was 8 months old, but thanks to Judy she is able to experience amazing adventures and enjoy her childhood. Every day she asks when she will go to “Judy” again. My daughter adores her—and so do I. I have only one child And I wouldn’t trust anyone else enough to leave my daughter in their care. Judy understands my child’s limitations and needs. She helps her develop properly and teaches her new skills. She always arrives with a smile and shares how her day has been. She is the best teacher, caregiver, mentor, and person. She is the best

Judy truly is one in a million. She goes above and beyond to create purposeful, engaging and memorable learning experiences that our daughters love. The children explore the world outdoors regularly and look forward to their 'Judy days'. She celebrates a whole range of occasions and events with the children and it is so clear how much time and effort is invested! The regular photo updates she shares throughout the day give us complete peace of mind knowing our girls are happy and thriving.
Judy has become like an extended part of our family. Her warm and nurturing environment has helped our children to build strong friendships and enjoy thoughtful, creative activities every day. She provides a home cooked meal in the evening so we are always safe in the knowledge that the children have had a nutritious dinner when collecting after a busy day at work.
Her kindness and support, especially while I was pregnant with our second child, meant so much to us and her wonderful family have also helped our girls feel secure and settled. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder and are so grateful for everything she does!

Judy has been an excellent find as we’ve raised our two young children. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all children in her care have the best start to their early years and provides home-cooked meals, plenty of outdoor time and a solid learning experience. Parents are kept well informed and receive plenty of updates and photos throughout the day.

Luckily I found Judy as I was planning my return back to work after maternity leave. We were very cautious and looked at a few local
Childminders but we both felt we clicked with Judy and her approach. My son enjoys his time so much as every day is different. They do so many activities and are out and about which is a great environment and has helped my little one develop over the past year. She also provides a home cooked meal in the evening which means I know he has eaten a nutritious meal. It’s been amazing seeing the effort she puts in for all special occasions/days and birthdays. We are very lucky to have found her and so glad she is part of our sons journey

Going back to work from maternity leave was hard but having Judy made it so much easier. Judy is brilliant with our son and he loves his days there. Judy always puts our minds at ease when we have any concerns (first time parents). We are so grateful to have Judy as our childminder!

Judy has taken such great care of our daughter and is a very kind and caring person.
She understood our daughters needs when she first started with Judy and she provided a smooth transition that helped our daughter to settle successfully.
Judy offers a range of age appropriate curriculum focused activities and regularly engages our daughter in celebrations and festivals, as well as acknowledging each child’s milestone.
She is a true caregiver, with an open heart and sense of love and respect, whilst always giving the children her full attention and maintaining house rules and structure.
We have been extremely happy with her services.

Going back to work after maternity leave was made so much easier because of Judy. My three sons love attending, they do different activities daily, walks, parks, attend play groups and have the best home cooked meals. Judy provides a safe and nurturing environment for all that attend and we often here them laughing inside when we're collecting. A house full of toys and love, Judy celebrates with the children each of their milestones and public holidays and always goes the extra mile. Judy is calm, kind and patient as is her family and we feel very lucky to have found her. A true gem.

Judy looks after both of my boys (pre schoolers). She provides wonderful child care , she takes them out every day, she has a house and garden full of fabulous toys. She provides a home cooked meal which they love. She supports their development and both my boys are doing so well with her. I like that my boys are together. She knows them both so well it is a huge relief to know they are in a supportive and caring environment. Her whole family are great to my boys and they have made lots of friends.

Judy is an amazing childminder she treats my son as one of her own. We had a major health scare with him at the beginning which required a trip in an ambulance. Judy was by his side like his second mum. He loves going to Judys house every day and would even like to go at the weekends! Judy has a huge play room filled with lots of different toys and lots of outdoor space too. She regularly attends a playgroup and they go out and about to local parks too.
Cannot recommend her enough she is a real life superwoman.
