We have used Judy for before and after school childminding services for over 3 years, and we could not fault her service. My son has loved it with Judy and in her lovely home, and his memorable highlights are park visits; walks with the dog Teddy; cooking; yummy dinners including themed dinners i.e Chinese new year. Judy is a lovely childminder and person who genuinely cares about all the children she looks after. We are sad that we won't require Judy's service anymore because my son is going to high school, however we are so pleased that we decided to use Judy and wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her.

When I was going back to work I struggled to find someone that would have my little boy for the times and days I needed without putting him in a nursery. After Finding Judy on here she invited us for a taster for my boy to try it for a couple of hours. He was 8 months old and he loved it and didn’t want to leave. Her home is warm and welcoming. It's spacious and most importantly safe for children. Great communication from Judy at every drop off and pick up and will always tell me about what my boy has been up to. My boy is now 4 years old and doesn’t want to go “big” school because his going miss his fun time at Judys. He has made lovely friends and done some lovely adventures with Judy whilst in her care and couldn’t of picked a better person to have my boy. I'd highly recommend Judy 100%!!

Judy has been amazing throughout our time with her, always patient and happy to help in any way she can, very flexible when it comes to my busy working schedule! My daughter absolutely adores her, she asks me each day if she can go to Judy’s house.. forever wants Judy to collect her from school. Speaks about Judy’s house all the time, the games she plays and the craft activities she enjoys. When I drop my little girl off I know she’s in safe hands. So grateful for Judy

Our son has been with Judy since he was 13 months old and will soon be turning 3. Judy was the first childminder I viewed when choosing childcare and as a first-time parent I found searching for the right childcare provider quite a daunting task trying to make sure my child would be in a place where he would be safe and happy. From the moment we met Judy she made us feel very welcome, the atmosphere in her home was relaxed and I knew instantly she was a keeper. Judy regular takes the children out and about even when the weather isn’t that great to soft play, local parks, rhyme time (my sons favourite), toddler groups and occasionally the zoo so the children get lots of activity and chances to explore and extend their social behaviours outside of the children that she cares for.
When they aren’t out and about there is a wide range of activities Judy does in the house with the children from painting to baking, playdoh, drawing and everything else in between, the variety of toys Judy has stored away is a child’s dream. The children get lots of chances to play in the garden with the various outside equipment and water/sand play in the warmer months, the children are rarely inside in the summer.
Judy regularly sends me pictures of activities my son has done with her and these comfort me every time to see how happy he is in her care. She also provides me with a learning development book every 6 months to see where my son is progressing, if there are any areas of concern or area’s we both want to work towards and this also contains photos of activities my son has done throughout the year. I’ve always felt very comfortable asking questions if I needed to or relaying information about how my son has been when not in Judy’s care so this helps her understand if he’s extra tired or upset for any reason throughout the day.
The food always looks and smells amazing when I’ve visited and my son eats more at Judy’s house then he does at home so that must say a lot about Judy’s amazing meals she cooks up for the children. As Judy does the school run for older children it has been nice to see my son interact not only with kids his own age but some slightly older and I think this has really helped his development in his early years. All the children get on very well and there are some lovely friendships that have evolved over our 2-year period.
Unfortunately, due to a relocation of job we will shortly be ending our time with Judy and to say we’re all a little bit sad is an understatement. Judy has been amazing throughout our time with her, always patient and happy to help in any way she can, my son absolutely adores her, he asks me each day who are we going to see tomorrow and when I answer Judy his little face lights up and he gets super excited for his next adventure with her.
Judy has reassured me daily that I made the right decision when picking her as my son’s childminder and I’d highly recommend her to anyone who was looking for a safe, secure and happy environment for their child.
We are sorely going to miss visiting Judy’s house!

My husband and I are so grateful that we have found Judy. We had been thinking of giving our son to one of the nurseries in Braintree but we were not sure if it's the right place for him. Then we had started looking for other options and found Judy. She is very easy to talk to and flexible. Our son settled in nicely straightaway and he is so comfortable and happy with Judy. It gives me peace of mind to think that my son is in good hands. I was very stressed and worried about leaving my son with someone else but thanks to Judy's friendly and professional approach it was much easier. Her home is warm and welcoming. It's spacious and most importantly safe for children. If you're looking for a childminder in Braintree you don't have to search anymore. I'd highly recommend Judy!

Judy is warm, kind, friendly and professional. She has a wealth of experience and that shines through from the first time you meet her. Her home is welcoming even down to her gorgeous dog, Teddy! My son is enjoying his time with Judy and that puts my mind at rest as I know he is well cared for. I would highly recommend Judy if you're looking for a homely environment for your child with a lovely childminder.

Judy is a lovely, caring childminder with many years experience in childcare, including babies. She is extremely friendly, professional and has so far been extremely flexible. She is very accommodating and really listens to how you would like your child cared for. We would highly recommend :)

Judy will soon be looking after my 1-year old daughter and I feel so relieved to have found her! After meeting 4 other childminders, she was the best by far and I have actually cancelled meeting 2 others as I wanted to secure her as soon as I could. She has a lovely way with the children - her years of experience as both a childminder and a mother of 5 shine through, I have found her to have a warm personality and a flexible, easygoing attitude. Her home is light and modern with an excellent space at the back of the house as the main area for looking after the children. The garden is lovely with lots of toys, swings, trampoline etc. which will be lovely in summer. Overall highly recommended.

I just met Judy... and I must say it was an instance relationship. She is very accomdating and organise, everything from the learning, safety for the children and settings for playing its more than what you could possible ask for from a childminder on top of that her home is surrounding with a lovely park and wildlife that the children get the privilage to enjoy while in her care. Her years of experience and the sincerity felt from her towards the children makes you never want to look else where.
