We feel very lucky to have found Jasmine, she has looked after our daughter 4 days a week for nearly a year, and she loves it there. She has a wonderful space and environment in her home, with a large playroom with plenty of toys, and a spacious enclosed garden for kids to run around too. As a home from home setting, we got to know Jasmine's family as well and our daughter adores them! Jasmine takes the kids out and about, whether on trips to the zoo, to see Santa, elstree aerodrome, soft play or more locally to playgroups, walks around the village to see the horses, or to the play park. She provides a nutritious lunch, dinner and snacks every day, and accommodated our vegetarian diet, even going so far as to try and make sure that our daughter's meal was similar to the other children so she didn't feel left out.

She keeps us updated with what they've been doing at drop off and pick up and with regular photos throughout the week. She's also great at supporting us with parenting hacks, potty training and how to handle challenging behaviour.
One of the things we really appreciated about Jasmine, was her willingness to try things out, such as reusable nappies and early potty training.

Our daughter blossomed and her confidence really grew under Jasmine's care and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. We sadly had to move on as we now have a son now as well and unfortunately she didn't have space for both of them.

Jasmine looked after my daughter from age 2-3 who had severe separation anxiety from being in lockdown for over half her life. Jasmine reassured my daughter (and me) and made her feel safe and loved. She is fun, goes on fantastic trips like the Zoo, visits to see Santa at Christmas, playgroups, parks and museums and is home from home, which was really important to us. My daughter absolutely loves Jasmine and her family. She is always telling us stories about her time with Jasmine. We are going to miss her so much and are only leaving as my daughter starts nursery in September. I really hope we keep in touch.

Our daughter was in Jasmine’s care from the age of one and she gave her the best start we could ask for, introducing her to new skills and providing a loving and warm environment. Jasmine helped our daughter to learn to walk, supported us through potty training and made sure she was both challenged and happy.
She was always a delight for us to deal with, was flexible, encouraging, and we looked forward to seeing her at pick up and drop off each day. We really appreciated the warm, family environment she provided and the extra love and attention our daughter got from her kids.
We cant recommend Jasmine highly enough.

Jasmine looked after our son from the age of 7 months old until we had to move away when he was 2y 9mo. We were really sad to leave her.

Jasmine is warm, kind and firm and our son loved being with her. Whether it was at home, playing with all of her different toys and books, out and about at their regular play groups and soft play or going on adventures to the theatre and to see Father Christmas.

Her home, and her family, are lovely and welcoming and our son was really happy there. He developed so well with her help, from walking and talking to potty training and being independent with dressing himself. She’s really helped us with all of those milestones as well. With advice and encouragement.

Our son can be a bit of a fussy eater but Jasmine has persevered with offering him healthy options and teaching him good habit, sitting to eat meals with the other children.

He seems to be settling into his nursery really well and we put a lot of that down to Jasmine’s kind and consistent care. He really flourished with her and we all really miss her, her family and the other children.

We’d highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone to care for their child.

My daughter started with Jasmine when she was 15months old where she looked after her one day a week. She has a lovely family home and my daughter always felt very welcome and well cared for. She really enjoyed all her home cooked meals and loved interacting with the rest of Jasmine’s family. It was very reassuring to know she was always in such a safe and experienced pair of hands.

Jasmine cared for my son two days a week for 2 years, from when he was 9 months old.

Jasmine and her family provide a warm, caring and structured environment with lots of play, fun outings and good food.

Jasmine is knowledgable, reliable, firm, kind and smiley.

My son was really happy with her and developed beautifully in her care - what more could you ask?

Our daughter has been with Jasmine for nearly 2 years, starting when she was 7 months old, we are very happy with her childcare.

Our daughter settled in nicely thanks to Jasmine's care and she's always been happy there. She is from an international background, with two different foreign languages at home. Her not speaking English when she stated has never been an issue at all, Jasmine has gone out of her way to support her in learning English, and even got bilingual toys and books to help her feel as comfortable as possible.

Jasmine, now together Claire, are full of energy and provide a great range of activities, bringing the kids to playgroups in the mornings, crafts, singing, small world, books, etc. We felt the combination of playgroup and at home (with the outside space) was a great setting bringing the best of nursery-like and home-like environments.

They also go on fun outings like the aquarium and fruit picking in summer. Our daughter comes back with crafts for all occasions, and we can see she really enjoys it and is proud of having made them. She also has a best friend there that she's always happy to see and play with.

From 7 months to over 2 years old Jasmine has accompanied her during her development, we can see she knows the kids really well. We feel confident that our kid is being very well looked after, we are happy to have found Jasmine.

My daughter has been in childcare with Jasmine 4 days a week since she was 11 months old.

Jasmine and Claire provide a brilliant childcare service, with a child friendly house and garden with lots of brilliant toys and weekly playgroup outings and other activities. I always feel confident leaving my daughter with Jasmine and Claire as she seems to have a brilliant time and they always make fantastic meals for them (probably better than the meals I make her myself!).

I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend

Jasmine has looked after our son since I returned to work when he was 1. She had a great approach to settling in and he adjusted very quickly; it's a lovely homely environment and he seems very happy there.

Jasmine and her assistant Claire make a lot of effort to take the children to play groups, soft play and parks, and to do different activities at home, so they have a lot of stimulation but also a comforting routine.

Our son has always eaten a lot, and seems to love his meals at Jasmine's - she always cooks fresh food and the kids eat round the table together, which I think is really important for them.

We're really happy to have found Jasmine, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other parents.

I cannot recommend Jasmine highly enough. She started looking after my son when he was 1 on my return to work, and he settled in very quickly. It also made my return to work so much better as I knew I was leaving my son in good hands, and somewhere he was happy. He loved going to Jasmine's she offers a home from home, with a family atmosphere and lots of activities, he was always going on picnics, days out as well as regular play groups. He couldn't have been given a better start, and when we moved away just after he turned 2 our biggest concern was having to leave Jasmine!
