julie has been looking after my 3 year old 5 mornings for 6 months now. He totally loves her. I was really nervous about sending Christopher to a childminder as he's is terribly clingy and gets upset when separated from me. julie put my mind at ease right from the start by texting to let me know how he was through the day. He loves going with her and has come on leaps and bounds the past few months. julie is really friendly and open. never late and totally reliable. never let me dwn once. her rates are more than reasonable. All in fabulous childminder. highly recommend her :)

Julie is a great childminder. Both my girls went to Julies full time. My daughters loved spending time at Julies always wanting to go to Julies. Lily my daughter loved spending time with Julies girls. Julie's girls are a credit to her. Julie goes out her her way to help. I always felt comfortable to leave my girls with Julie and always know they were well taken care off.
I loved that Julie plans a wide range of activities to keep the kids amused. And loads of outings to playgroups and soft play. Would not trust anyone else.

I already have a childminder for my 8yr old, however Julie has also taken care of him when his childminder can't do so. My son has a fabulous time at Julies house. Julie is kind, caring and according to my son lots of fun. Julies daughters are a credit to her, they are both kind, caring and lots of fun. They make my son feel very welcome in their home and interact well with him, the girls seem to genuinely love having the children in their home. I would recommend Julie to anyone looking for childcare, when I collect my son he looks very happy and comfortable with Julie and her family, he has enjoyed a range of activities with her, and they are always geared towards his interests. Llast summer she took him out on a bug hunt, this was fabulous as he loves insects and despite not knowing him that well at the time she had had noticed his interest and helped him to develop it. You can't get more dedicated than that! In the words of my son "I love going to Julies house!".

Hi Alison
Thank you so much for you and your sons kind words.Its a pleasure to watch him while his childminder is unavailable.He is a credit to you.
My girls love having him about, when we pass your house they always look to see if your son is out so they can stop and speak to him and cant wait until his childminder is unavailable so he can come to our home and play.
Hope to see him over the holidays or in passing.

Julie has been watching my son full-time from August 2012. As all mums I was apprehensive to leave him when returning to work as he was only 6 months old - Julie put me to ease as she was so warm and loving towards Lucas. Lucas now has the biggest smile every morning for Julie and she deserves it.
As a primary school teacher I understand the importance of stimulating children from an early age- Julie does this fantastically. She provides a sate and loving environment with toys to suit age and stage of child. Julie also has set times for action songs and rhymes and as soon as Lucas knows he is going to Julie's he starts dancing! She also has the children out and about daily - toddlers, library visits, soft play and play park to name a few!
Julie's 2 daughters are an asset to her service, both adore all the children she cares for. Julie often helps out with my 8 year old twin daughters and occasionally collects them from school. The girls love going and often ask if Julie can get them from school more often.
On the whole Julie is a superb childminder, without whom I would find it difficult to sustain my full time job. I would like to thank her for the love, care and attention she gives daily to Lucas and on occasion his sisters. I would not hesitate to reccomend Julie as she is a No.1 childminder.

How time flies.Lucas is a joy to care for.
So glad that i put you at ease when you went back to work,i know myself as a mother how hard it is to find someone you can trust to care for your child and i am so glad that i was that person that you left your precious one with.
Lucas is a lovely little boy who is smilling all the time and is a joy to have.
He is comming on so quickly and he gets so excited when we do activties especailly song time.
He is just part of the family and settled in so well that you would think he has been here for years.
Your twin girls and Lucas are a credit to you What lovely children you have and they are so well mannered .
My family and myself love having them here .
Thank you so much for your kind words
Julie was my first and only choice for child care, she is enthusiastic and doesn't mind a challenge. She was available immediately and helped me with sorting everything out. She has taken my 7yr old under her wing. He loves going to Julie's and seeing her two girls he has a great time, so I never have to worry about him being in Julie's care. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking for child care of a high standard.
For me the plus sides are that Julie is a driver, takes kids out for activities a well as always having something to do for the kids whilst in the house. He gets interaction and personal care.

You know me so well always enthusiastic in all that i do.Your wee fella is a fantastic wee boy who has just fitted in as part of the family and has settled in so well.
He just loves it when my girls come home from school and they have lots of fun together only thing is he never wants to leave.
So glad he enjoys comming to my home and that he has a great time here.
Thank you for your kind words great to know that i am looking after your boy so well .
I would highly recommend Julie for childcare as she is so down to earth and a very approachable and caring person. My daughter Macy has been with Julie for a year as an after school child and she is kept busy and encouraged by Julie and her family in a very positive way. Macy enjoys her time with the other children that Julie childminds and the range of activities that she recieves in a loving warm family environment. I am due another baby in July and the baby will have a place a few days per week with Julie as I feel confident and content knowing that both my kids recieve excellent care and a learnign environment.

Hi Debbie
Thank you for your review and your kind words about my service and my family.I am so glad that you feel Macy receives excellent care and is in a good learning environment.
I am so happy that you have decided to also send your new baby to me along with Macy and the baby along Macy will be just like one of the family.
Macy is such a lovely wee girl and it’s a joy to have her here.
Macy has a lot of fun here within a loving warm family environment and has made lots of new friends here.
The children love Macy and look to her as a big sister and my own two enjoy having her around.
Macy loves to bake all the time she like a little Mary baker.
Kayleigh thinks as Macy being another wee sister to her and was delighted when you said Macy role plays her at home . Kayleigh is a great role model as she is great with the children just like mother like daughter.
Hannah rushes home from school to get in first and to play with the children and also to see Macy and the other children to find out what they have been up to on that day.
Thank you Julie xxxxx
My son Callum (16months) has been with Julie since 9th of January2012. This was a last minute decision as i was let down by a family friend 2days prior to starting my new job. Julie has been fantastic, she was thrown in at the deep-end with my son 5full days his very first week. He had a ball. Unfortunately Callum took unwell two weeks into being with Julie and was out of her care for 4weeks. Since his return he has developed so much in his communication and activities. Julie has another little boy 2months older and always manages to separate her time daily to help each child at different things. Callum in never bored with Julie, she has set outings on set days and Callum loves every minute of it. While Callum was off, Julie was also a great support with payment due to the situation - not only is she callums childminder but she has become a friend.
I was very apprehensive about sending Callum to a childminder - only because i had been with him since birth and i am not originally from this area so i know very little about the people and the place. Handing my child over to a complete stranger was the hardest thing i have ever done, but by far the best.
Callum is a very lucky little boy to have Julie.

I was so sad when Callum took ill but was delight when he returned to me.
He has came on so much since coming back and enjoys all he different activities that i provide for him.

I am glad i was able to support you while Callum was ill and that you now consider me as a friend.
My own two daughters and the other children i care for love having Callum here .
