Jasmine has looked after our daughter 3-days a week since October 2023. Upon first meeting we immediately felt a great rapport! Jasmine is so friendly, she has a beautiful home that's clean & organised, there is a dedicated playroom filled with toys and a huge garden for the little ones to run around in.
Each day is full of fun and activity. They visit playgroup most days, venture to local parks, Jasmine also takes the children on days out into London, to the theatre, the zoo, and at Christmas they visited Santa Claus! Jasmine is brilliant getting the children involved in arts and crafts, every week we receive all sorts of artwork and it’s fantastic to see what they have been creating.
Jasmine's experience and wealth of knowledge has helped hugely first-time parents - guiding us through gentle sleep training methods, removing the dummy, and speech development.
We have a communal What’s App group with the other parents which is a lovely way to connect and get to know the other families- who have now become friends! Jasmine uses this group to share photos and updates from the day.
Jasmine gives the children home-cooked meals every day, she also regularly takes the children’s temperature and will post reminders of any sickness symptoms to look out for.
Our daughter has a place in nursery in September but we are so sad to leave, we would recommend Jasmine to any other parent, and really hope to keep in touch!!
We feel very lucky to have found Jasmine, she has looked after our daughter 4 days a week for nearly a year, and she loves it there. She has a wonderful space and environment in her home, with a large playroom with plenty of toys, and a spacious enclosed garden for kids to run around too. As a home from home setting, we got to know Jasmine's family as well and our daughter adores them! Jasmine takes the kids out and about, whether on trips to the zoo, to see Santa, elstree aerodrome, soft play or more locally to playgroups, walks around the village to see the horses, or to the play park. She provides a nutritious lunch, dinner and snacks every day, and accommodated our vegetarian diet, even going so far as to try and make sure that our daughter's meal was similar to the other children so she didn't feel left out.
She keeps us updated with what they've been doing at drop off and pick up and with regular photos throughout the week. She's also great at supporting us with parenting hacks, potty training and how to handle challenging behaviour.
One of the things we really appreciated about Jasmine, was her willingness to try things out, such as reusable nappies and early potty training.
Our daughter blossomed and her confidence really grew under Jasmine's care and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. We sadly had to move on as we now have a son now as well and unfortunately she didn't have space for both of them.
Jasmine looked after my daughter from age 2-3 who had severe separation anxiety from being in lockdown for over half her life. Jasmine reassured my daughter (and me) and made her feel safe and loved. She is fun, goes on fantastic trips like the Zoo, visits to see Santa at Christmas, playgroups, parks and museums and is home from home, which was really important to us. My daughter absolutely loves Jasmine and her family. She is always telling us stories about her time with Jasmine. We are going to miss her so much and are only leaving as my daughter starts nursery in September. I really hope we keep in touch.
Our daughter was in Jasmine’s care from the age of one and she gave her the best start we could ask for, introducing her to new skills and providing a loving and warm environment. Jasmine helped our daughter to learn to walk, supported us through potty training and made sure she was both challenged and happy.
She was always a delight for us to deal with, was flexible, encouraging, and we looked forward to seeing her at pick up and drop off each day. We really appreciated the warm, family environment she provided and the extra love and attention our daughter got from her kids.
We cant recommend Jasmine highly enough.
Jasmine looked after our son from the age of 7 months old until we had to move away when he was 2y 9mo. We were really sad to leave her.
Jasmine is warm, kind and firm and our son loved being with her. Whether it was at home, playing with all of her different toys and books, out and about at their regular play groups and soft play or going on adventures to the theatre and to see Father Christmas.
Her home, and her family, are lovely and welcoming and our son was really happy there. He developed so well with her help, from walking and talking to potty training and being independent with dressing himself. She’s really helped us with all of those milestones as well. With advice and encouragement.
Our son can be a bit of a fussy eater but Jasmine has persevered with offering him healthy options and teaching him good habit, sitting to eat meals with the other children.
He seems to be settling into his nursery really well and we put a lot of that down to Jasmine’s kind and consistent care. He really flourished with her and we all really miss her, her family and the other children.
We’d highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone to care for their child.
