Ajmummy

Just who we were looking for...

My daughter went to Jade’s for two years almost, finishing a month or so back so that she could start school. We had never dealt with childcare before and Jade made everything easy. Our daughter was always excited to go and always had a lovely time. Any issues were always communicated back to us appropriately and we felt that we could give feedback at any time too. Jade was always as flexible as possible, which was massively appreciated as two parents who work shifts.

100% recommend.

AMAZING!

I viewd a viewed a few childminders before and non have felt right when I met Jade she was very professional and my children took to her straight away! having a child with additional needs I worry alot and can be very over protective but I haven't felt like that at all. Jade is amazing with them and she took the time to get to know my son and understand his needs she understands and gets him and he has formed a lovely bond with her. He takes a long time to settle into new settings but he never wants to come hom when he is there so that was the biggest sign for me.
Jade will always go out her way to change times where possible and her communication is amazing.

my son is a fussy eater but will eat food he wouldnt dream of touching at home so I'm over the moon about that also.

I have had an amazing experience and will continue to use Jade as my my provider. The communication is so important for me and I always get feed back which I love. I feel at ease and happy knowing my children are in safe hands and how much they have learned and picked up also.

Disappointing

We've had quite an unpleasant experience with this childminder and tried to pull out of our contract after three weeks of our agreement but to our surprise we received her email asking us to pay for the full notice period despite the fact that our children have only spent 9 days physically in her care and another week at home being off-sick. We understand that she has the rights to do so and it is our fault that we signed her contract without reading it properly but we still hoped she would be flexible and understanding of our situation and wouldn't charge us for nine weeks of her service when in fact our children spent less than 2 weeks going into her setting. We felt that we have been ripped off, beware of her contract terms.

Amazing

Amazing she was able to accommodate all of my needs and things were always changing in my line of work, very understanding and passionate about the children, the home is very clean. My daughter never wanted to come home that was
My only problem lol my daughter loved her time there and has always asked if she could return since
Amazing childminder

My daughter is so happy and secure

I'm a mother of two and, after my older girl had some bad experiences with nannies, we decided to try a childminder for our second child.

Jade is very calm, loving and understanding of parents' anxieties about leaving their little ones, which is very much needed in my case as I was so anxious after what my poor first girl went through. She was happy to provide me with three references and when I called them, all gave glowing reviews of how much their children loved Jade.

My daughter was nearly one years old when she started with Jade and from early on my daughter absolutely loves going to Jade's house. She is impatient to leave in the morning, getting our shoes as well as her own to try and hurry us out the door! For comparison, when I had my first child, it took her ages to settle with her nanny. So when friends used to tell me that their kids loved going to nursery/their childminder and would be trying to run out the door to get there, I thought they were deluding themselves - as all the books I had read on attachment told me that one on one attention up to age three is essential, that nurseries/too many other children is stressful for young babies and children etc. But the exact opposite seems to have been our experience - our younger girl is thriving and is so happy and secure with Jade and having several other children around, whereas our older girl, who had one on one attention with a nanny for nearly two years, has attachment issues (which are thankfully now subsiding after her starting school).

We are now five months in and I am so, so happy that we went with Jade. I wish I had done the same for my older girl.
