From the very start, Jodie has made me feel completely happy with leaving my 1 year old daughter in her care. The settling-in process that she offered was brilliant, particularly as my daughter took quite a while to be comfortable with me leaving her; Jodie was prepared to offer as many days as it took for my daughter to be settled and for me to be reassured before going back to work. This was in complete contrast to my nursery, which offered 2 short settling-in sessions.

I have been very impressed with the range of activities that Jodie does on a day-to-day basis and the attention she gives to my daughter's development. The daily diary is always detailed and Jodie had also created a comprehensive journal recording significant milestones and development. Jodie takes lots of photos every day, so we can see how much fun my daughter has been having. Jodie has taken my daughter out to many and varied locations, including local groups, museums, farms and zoos and I know my daughter has really enjoyed these outings.

I am very happy with the home cooked food which Jodie prepares and I love the fact that she has an allotment which means she gets the children involved in learning about food.

It is a cliche, but it does feel like my daughter has a home from home - she even has her own room to sleep in. I couldn't ask for more from Jodie and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
