Jillian's Reviews

The Kind of Childminder Every Parent Hopes to Find

I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible care and dedication that Jill provides. From the moment my little boy started with her in June 2023, she created a warm, secure, and joyful environment where he has truly blossomed. She treats every child with genuine love and attention, and it shows in the confidence and happiness they carry home each day.
One of the things I value most is the way Jill brings learning to life through engaging, hands-on experiences. Her life-cycle projects watching chicks hatch and butterflies emerge have been especially magical. It’s such a beautiful experience for the children to witness new life coming into the world, and it sparks so much wonder, curiosity, and thoughtful conversation. My little one still talks about it with excitement.
Alongside these meaningful activities, Jill has been absolutely amazing in supporting my son’s everyday learning and development. She has helped him so much with his spelling, reading, and overall early literacy, nurturing his confidence and turning learning into something fun and natural. She has also been incredibly supportive with potty training, showing endless patience, encouragement, and consistency something that made a huge difference at home as well.
Her day-to-day activities are always purposeful, creative, and perfectly geared toward preparing children for school. Whether it’s early numeracy, building independence, improving social skills, or encouraging curiosity, she manages to weave learning into every moment in such a thoughtful and gentle way.
I feel incredibly lucky to have Jill in my child’s life. She has played such a meaningful role in shaping his readiness for school, his confidence, and his love of learning. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for childcare that is loving, enriching, and truly exceptional. Thank you for everything you do Jill!

One in a million!

We've been so lucky to know Jill since 2022, when my daughter started with her at 3 years old. Since then Jill has been like family for my daughter.
Jill has a genuine love for all the children she cares for. She has an amazing warmth and energy that she brings to caring for the children. I kept my daughter with Jill the year before starting school, rather than opting for a nursery setting. Jill did an absolutely brilliant job preparing her for Reception - my daughter transitioned beautifully to school and was so much more confident going in than if I'd put her in a nursery. Jill provides a rich and varied learning experience, while expertly looking after the unique needs of each child. She provided amazing support when we working through health issues when my daughter was younger. Jill is honestly one in a million!!

Jillian is a Superstar!

Jillian looked after my children from 2008 until 2017. I remember the first time I went over to her house, and how warm and welcoming it was. I knew instantly that I could trust her to take the best care of my daughter and son, and that this was the children would become part of her extended family. She was always so accommodating and flexible, and she children adored her. It was a real wrench when the children became too old to attend anymore. I know that Jill made a big contribution to giving my children the best possible start in life.

Excellent

Where do I start my journey with Jill started 17years ago when I was looking for a childminder for my 1st born. Jill was recommended to me and I went with my daughter Mee-yah who was about 7month.
The 1st time we meet Jill it just felt right only a mother would knw that feeling.
I felt happy going back to work knowing my daughter was cared for loved and taught so much in the settings.
I then went on 2 have my 2nd child Amiyah who was born premature and I just felt at easy knowing she would be cared for loved and I would have to worry about nothing.
Jill become nanny to my girls they have such a beautiful relationship with her even though my oldest is 17 that’s still her nanny. She is the most amazing person caring loving the environment for the children is the amazing.
Jill made it so easy for me to return to work getting updates on the girls when they was younger. She will go out her way for the children in her setting.

Thank you for everything and the extra effort and support you show.
Highly recommend 👌

Excellent.

Jill looked after my little boy for a few years before starting school. He called her nanny as it was such a lively home from home setting for him. I could go to work and know he was genuinely having a great time and having adventures with other children and Jill. Nothing was too much trouble.

Like leaving my little one with family

My son has been with Jill since he was 7 months old. My little one has settled in really well and never seems upset when I leave him. I am extremely happy with the care he is getting. Jill always give me an update of his day, what he has eaten, what he has been doing and if he has done anything new. My son is a very sociable and happy boy and I believe, this is in part due to Jill's wonderful care. I hope that he will be with Jill until he starts nursery and I can highly recommend her services.
