Finding a childminder is the most daunting experience for new parents (especially first time parents) but from the second we met Jade we knew we found someone special. Our daughter was nine months old when she first went to Jade's and she's just finished her last week there before she goes to school!
Jade makes it seem like a breeze looking after your child, whilst keeping you updated with photos throughout the day which keeps you at ease!
Each week is a new fun theme and she always puts 100% into everything she does and makes your child feel like the most special kid in the world. She really made my daughter feel like family and now she is leaving with what I hope to be friends for life with the strong bonds that are made with the other children in the setting.
All meals are healthy and she always takes the time to give great updates again throughout the day or ok pick up, so you actually know what your child has been up to all day!
Jade loves spending time outdoors no matter the weather which my daughter absolutely loves and she is a great believer that a mucky kid is a happy kid and we agree 100%
To be honest I could go on forever about how much she's been there but there really isn't enough words, and there has been many a tear shed that my daughters time has come and gone but that goes to show how much of an impact she has/ will have on your child. Absolutely one of a kind. Thank you!

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Jade and everything she has done for our family. From the very first day my son walked through her door, we knew we’d found someone incredibly special. Leaving your child with someone else is one of the hardest things a parent can do, but Jade made that transition feel effortless with her warmth, kindness and genuine love for the children she cares for.
My son absolutely adores his time with Jade, and it’s been such a privilege to watch him grow into the confident, happy and caring little boy he is today. Every day is filled with fun, laughter, learning and exciting adventures. The thought and care Jade puts into every activity is incredible, and it’s so clear that she pours her heart into everything she does.
What makes Jade stand out is the little things. The attention to detail, the nurturing environment she creates, the updates that make us smile throughout the day, and the way she always goes the extra mile—not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. My son isn’t just looked after; he’s loved, encouraged and celebrated for exactly who he is.
Jade has become so much more than my son’s childminder. She has been a huge part of his early years and has given him memories, experiences and opportunities that we will always be thankful for. Knowing he is safe, happy and so well cared for gives us complete peace of mind every single day.
There is a reason Jade has a waiting list, and after experiencing the exceptional care she provides, it’s impossible to be surprised. She doesn’t simply offer childcare; she creates a home from home where children feel safe, valued and loved, and where parents know their little ones are in the very best hands.
Jade, thank you for loving my son as though he were one of your own, for helping him grow, for making him smile every single day, and for giving us the greatest gift a parent could ask for—the confidence that our little boy is happy, safe and truly cherished when he’s with you.
We will always be grateful for everything you’ve done for our family. We couldn’t recommend Jade more highly.
If I could not send my son to school and keep him with Jade forever, this would be my choice 10000%

After moving back to the area I was looking for somewhere for my daughter to go while I went to work. A friend of mine was using Jade so I thought I would enquire about my daughter. Jade was accommodating from the start. Now 15 months later and my daughter has had an amazing time with Jade as well as the other children who have attended her setting. They have gone on adventures, played in different surroundings (not just in the house although the kids were partial to a day in the house doing Jade’s makeup!), and even met up with other childminders in the area. My daughter has came on leaps and bounds! I feel Jade’s setting is a home away from home and is a perfect transition from home to nursery or school. She treats the children like her own and has a massive heart as well as the rest her family being lovely with the kids. I will never be able to sing her praises enough and will always recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!
