Both my children started with Jan when they were 12 months old and my older child has only stopped because she started school. My youngest still goes to Jan's once a week. We are really pleased with how both our children have developed and progressed under Jan's care.
Jan offers a warm and nurturing environment. She provides a wide selection of age appropriate toys for the children to play with and a variety of activities for the children to engage in. They frequently come back with arts and crafts projects they have been working on, often linked to seasonal events such as Halloween, Christmas, Chinese New Year. Jan has also done baking with them, allowing my daughter to pick a recipe from the book.
Jan will also arrange various outings, including toddler group, the library and the park, sometimes meeting up with other childminders with similar aged children so the kids can play together.
Jan will liaise with us to make sure that the children are developing well and she has been continuously supportive to their needs. Every evening we can review the day's activities in the diary and this is supplemented with updates and photos that Jan sends us throughout the day via WhatsApp.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Jan as a great childminder.
