Jane cared for my daughter first, we were going through difficulties with her health and Jane was extremely supportive and caring and we felt so happy to leave her in Janes care, knowing she was safe and loved and should any thing to happen Jane would act and deal with the situation confidently.
We then had twin boys and Jane was our go to. We couldn’t have wished for a better childminder. The boys have been with Jane for 4 years, they love her home and treat it as their own. I have never had any problems with dropping them off. They walk happily through the door every morning. Jane is very observant of their mood, if they are tired or extra hungry when they are growing. She is very adaptive to their needs and caring even when they are being tricky. Jane takes the time to up date us on their day and sends photos of their activities, they are always having a wonderful time.
I feel so lucky and privileged to have such a caring and proactive childminder.

Jane or should I say “Janey” as she has been to both my boys throughout the past 6.5 years is quite special! The absolute cream of the crop!
When looking for a childminder 7 years ago now, you never dream that anyone other than you or your own family could love and look after your little one like they were their own, but Jane has done nothing but that! She really is like family to us all! Both my boys (one now 6 and at school) and my second (2.5) still currently in her care, went under the age of 1 and have done nothing but thrive in her care. I never worry leaving them and a lot of the time I have struggled to get them to leave because they love her and the setting so much. Jane being a Mum herself and an experienced childminder knows exactly what children need. Love, empathy, stimulation and learning are all second to none. They have been on amazing day trips to National Trust places, the garden centre, parks and woodlands and she has a wonderful setting at home in the garden (artificial grass and lots of toys/water toys) and a lovely playroom. She creates arts and crafts and makes cards on all occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day (the little things that just mean so so much) and bakes with the children. Jane really is the best childminder in the area and nothing is ever too much trouble. She is flexible (if ever held up at work),understanding and will always go above and beyond to help you. She uses her common sense of ever the children are a little under the weather and will give calpol or a cuddle when needed. Her family also play a huge role and they too are loved by everyone. Her Husband Gary, her two sons (like fun big brothers) and Teddy the dog are all wonderful and they too have become friends of the family.
Jane provides photos to document what the children are up to during the day and never has their been a time where the children aren’t all beaming in them! I’m usually jealous I’m not there playing and having fun. Jane has provided pick ups and drop offs to pre school for us and even dropped my children home when I’ve been without a car. She really is exceptional! Anyone looking for childcare and Jane very rarely having a space available will have struck gold!!! I cannot recommend her enough to you. I also cannot thank her for enough for everything she has done for my two boys over the years. Someone I see as family now and a wonderful friend. Don’t hesitate to contact her you honestly won’t find better! X

Jane currently looks after my youngest daughter who is 2 but also looked after my other two children too from age 1 - who are now age 8 and 6 so we have used Jane for the last 7 years.
I couldn't recommend Jane highly enough, she is warm and welcomes children into her home and family and they see it as their second home. She was recommended to us by a friend all those years ago and we have been forever grateful that we found her. She is everything you would want in a childminder; kind, affectionate, , respectful, loving and does so many different activities with the children she looks after and takes them to nice places. Her home offers a really relaxed atmosphere and they love her play room, garden and all the puzzles and crafts she has there.
My children also made friends through Jane too, she helped them create friendships and bond with others. She also takes them to toddler groups which are great for their social skills.
I have found Jane very flexible and adaptable over the years and is always willing to help out where she can. She also uses common sense and isn't one of those childcare settings where children are sent home instantly if they have a temperature for example.
My kids have all loved 'Janey' and I feel very grateful that they have so many wonderful childhood memories and had so many wonderful experiences. The older two still talk about Jane now.

If you are reading this then in my opinion you have struck gold! Jane has been the childminder to both my children George (4) and Olivia (1.5yrs). She looked after George since he was 2yrs old and I knew from the moment of meeting Jane he was in safe hands. Jane does crafts with the kids, reads them stories, takes them to local childminding groups where they play and develop their social skills and sing songs (which my little girl loves). Jane keeps a daily diary so you can see what your children have been up to and sends a daily photo too which was just great. Most importantly she offered a loving and safe environment for my children. They both settled in quickly, and have made great friends. I'm only leaving as my little boy is now starting full time school further away. I can't recommend Jane more highly.
