Julia childminded for our daughter from the age of 5 months old. We had never left our daughter with anyone before so it was a big step for us, however Julia made us both feel so comfortable and valued as parents. Our daughter’s face lit up everytime we dropped her off and at times she didn’t want to leave! The home from home nurturing environment made the service more cosy for our little one. Julia’s communication is excellent and we regularly received photos and updates daily! Julia followed through with the changes of our daughters routines. She cared for our daughter like she was one of her own.

Melanie - it was an honour to care for your little girl. She was loved by us all. The children always looked forward to her coming. Have an amazing summer and thank you. Best wishes Julia xx
Julia has been looking after our son since October 2021, and we couldn't ask for more caring and kinder childminder! She offers a plenty of settling-in sessions, an amazing and educative environment and she is excellent in keeping in touch with us during the day, including sending a regular pictures. Our son adores her and he feels very safe and comfortable in her company. As first- time parents, we were a little bit anxious, however, Julia's support and professional approach helped us to keep calm and confident - especially after we saw how happy is our son in her presence. Truly home from home experience! We can highly recommend Julia as a childminder to other parents, and we sincerely hope that she will take care of our second baby as well!

Thank you Martina for your kind words. It makes me very proud to receive such lovely feedback and I look forward to caring for your next little bundle in the future. Julia x Hope Childcare
We have used Julia for childcare for our toddler since August 2021, and couldn’t be more impressed or happy. She offered plenty settling in sessions (despite Covid restrictions), and made sure that both we and our little one were comfortable.
We get regular updates and pictures throughout the day, showing all the varied activities that are on offer. We’ve found this really reassuring, and lovely to see what she’s been up to when we’re not with her. Julia is always willing to support our needs as a family, including helping our little one to create birthday cards and crafts for family members! Julia is very knowledgable about early learning, and it is clear that she offers many activities that support our little one’s learning and development, at the appropriate stage.
As first time parents, we have really appreciated Julia’s support and experience. Her reassurance has given us more confidence as parents.
Our little one absolutely loves spending time with ‘JooJoo’ and is always sad to leave. We have been delighted with the care that she receives, and couldn’t ask for more. It really is her home from home!

Julia looked after our daughter from the start of P1 until the end of P3. Right from the first meeting she left us feeling completely confident leaving our little girl in her care. We are so grateful for the excellent care she has provided. My daughter has always been safe and happy in her home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia to other families.

Julia started looking after my daughter around the time my daughter turned 1. Short settling in days were offered to begin with. Right from the start I felt comfortable leaving my daughter with Julia. She is very kind and takes a genuine interest in the children in her care. Julia provides regular updates and photos throughout the day which is very reassuring. A wide range of toys is always available and my daughter loves the outdoor space. I would highly recommend Julia as a childminder.

Thank you Hannah. I love hearing my parents feedback and thank you for taking time to give me a review. I'm so lucky you chose me to care for your little one. Love seeing them blossom Xx
Julia started looking after my son when he was 6 months old. She is so lovely, welcoming and the children are at the centre of everything she does. My son gets so much from Julia’s house and loves being around the other children too. I honestly couldn’t feel any more comfortable leaving him with her.

Holly - thank you for your Review. This is very much appreciated and it's always lovely to get feedback. I just adore having your little one and here's to looking forward to seeing him blossom over the years to come.
My 3 year old daughter has been looked after by Julia on a few occasions now and I felt very happy and totally at ease at leaving her with Julia in her home environment as she is so kind, warm and excellent at engaging with the children in her care. I was sent regular photos and updates throughout the day about what my daughter had been doing, and despite being a bit apprehensive before going, she very quickly settled in and looked forward to her days with Julia and came home with lots of lovely pictures and colouring and stories of what they had been doing. The snacks provided for the children were healthy and filling, they all enjoyed playing in the garden and were taken for a walk each day which was great.
I would highly recommend Julia as a childminder.

My 5 year old daughter has recently begun primary school. I have to admit we were all a little apprehensive about the change in care we had become so used to. Julia made that transition a joy for my daughter, and so for the whole family. She is genuinely kind and caring, my little girl practically skips to her every morning. Julia provides updates on a daily basis about what my daughter has been up to, with lovely reassuring photos. Healthy snacks and educational toys and games are always available, as well as the children being able to enjoy the outdoor space together. She has made some wonderful new friends in the happy healthy environment Julia provides. I literally can not recommend her highly enough.

Julia is a dedicated, thoughtful and lovely childminder. She always considers what her mix of children will be at any one time and adapts and creates activities to suit their needs. My daughter’s days are structured, fun and stimulating and she very often doesn’t want to come home! I feel really relaxed and happy knowing Julia is looking after my daughter in the nursery holidays and think she sets the bar very high for really good, nurturing, care.

My son has been going to Julia's on and off for the last 5 years and has really enjoyed it. Julia provides excellent care in a safe environment and really takes pride in the care of the children
