Julie has cared for my son since he was just 8.5 months old, 4 days a week, and has a fantastic bond with her. My son hasn't always been the easiest to deal with, but the communication is fantastic and we always work out the issues together!
His most favourite days with Julie are when they head out for the day or doing arts and crafts and baking which hes always proud to show me when I collect him.
A home from home! :-)
Julie is really down to Earth but also very caring. Her years of experience shines through and it's lovely that she works with her daughter as the children get to interact in bigger groups and learn from each other. My little one is developing so well and learning so much. She loves going in and playing with her friends. I can tell they've been busy and active as my little one is always knackered by the time she gets home.
My daughter started with Julie at 18months old and is still currently with her . I can’t recommend her enough!
It’s so welcoming , fun and enjoyable. They do lots of putting with the children and also lots of fun stuff at home crafts , playing in the garden , walking to the parks and baking . My daughter loves it!!!
Everything there is clean,nice, with a lot of toys and activities for all the kids, nice garden with toys and everything what the kids need. The childminder is so friendly and nice. thank you !

thank you so much. x
Julie looked after our son from 5 months old until he was 34 months at Christmas. We would use her forever if we could but we moved location. My son, 2 months on, asks for her and misses her a lot, as do we. She always had my sons care at the top priority and I cannot think of anyone that would have been better to have my son and who I would have been more comfortable to leave him with. Thank you, Julie.

The pleasure was all mine - lovely child, lovely parents. so glad you chose me.
A lovely homely feel. I have no trouble dropping my infant child off he always smiles upon seeing Jill in the morning. He seems to enjoy his days very much, experiences alot and it really seems to be helping his development. I genuinely feel a true care for my child.
Me and my husband are so pleased to have found Julie, our son is happy and settled and if he's happy we are too, it makes leaving him to go to work so much easier knowing he is in a loving and caring environment and he gets to interact with the other children in Julie's care, he certainly isnt shy anymore! Would recommend Julie to anyone........lovely lady and lovely family :)

Thank you - love him to bits so its easy to look after him, and nice easy-going parents make nice easy-going children. Glad i was chosen.
I am so glad I found Julie! I saw several child minders before Julie but when I met her, or more importantly, when my son met her, it felt right immediately. I don't think my son has been the easiest child to care for but Julie has worked with me and genuinely cares. I'm comfortable discussing any worries I have about my son with her and it's clear he adores her. I love the crafted items he brings home and he shows me them with pride. Julie's house is a real home from home and her family are lovely. My son's language development, confidence and social skills have come on leaps and bounds since he has been with her and he loves the frequent outings to various play groups and soft play centres. I cannot praise her or thank her enough.

why, thank you ma'am for your kind words. i admit James had separation issues at first, but has improved 100% and is now a lovely, smiley, laid back boy. Oh and his mum's not bad either. ;} x
After reading a lot of profiles of child minders, my husband and I decided to put our children with Julie. I have to say that I am very pleased with our decision as she is a lovely person who loves our children like an adopted nanny.
Both my children enjoy going to her and are happy to be dropped off each morning. I know this to be true as my eldest is 3 and a half so regulary will give me her opinion on her time with her (plus everything else :-)). She is still happy to go every time so I know she has settled with her.
As both my children previously attended a local nursery I was concerned about the amount of interaction they would have with other children as they were going from a class of 20 plus to a couple of children. I didn't need to worry though as Julie takes them out to other play groups / children centres which has meant that they have continued to get the interaction with different children.
Julie has been flexible with us each time we have needed which has helped us a lot. She is a kind, caring, considerate and protective person who treats my children as if one of her own. As a family, she is an important person to us as she is continuing the care for our children whilst we are not there and I am happy that she will be a part of our family in years to come.
Would definately reccomend Julie to anyone who is wanting to find childcare.

i couldnt be happier to look after Carri and Ian's children. They are gorgeous children. Katie is delightful, full of questions and loves girly things, which i have been missing after a succession of boys. Ethan is a 'boy', he is inquisitive and interested in what we do, but independent and only wants cuddles on his terms. I look forward to their development and I guarantee we will have lots of fun on the way. Carri and Ian are a childminder's dream. They are easy to talk to, good and prompt with the journals and great timekeepers. I am very pleased that they picked me and long may it last.
