Below are the latest reviews for Josies Place. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Josie (and family) have been fantastic, welcoming, supportive and enthusiastic. Our daughter has being going to Josie for childcare twice a week for the last 9 months (since her 1st birthday) and she loves going there. We can see it in her face and with how much enthusiasm she has in going there in the mornings. It’s all our daughter can talk (babble) about when she isn’t there, and she genuinely looks forward to going back and being with Josie and her friends.
Josie and her husband have a passionate and genuine caring nature, and keep us well updated with our daughters progress, any milestones and achievements and generally what she gets up to. Including how much she has slept and eaten and what cheekiness she has been up to. We regularly receive heartwarming picture and video messages and it’s abundantly clear from our daughter’s face (and the faces of other children) how much fun and enrichment they are getting from the environment being provided.
Josie also goes that extra mile and does arts and crafts with the children making moms all gifts and presents at occasions throughout the year and makes the children presents and gifts including throwing small parties for birthdays.
Josie is always the first to check in and make sure our daughter is ok if too unwell to attend on her given days and this just goes to show her genuine and caring nature.
We couldn’t be happier with how our daughter is being cared for and the creative and empowering environment she is being provided by Josie and her family when she is there in her care.

Our experience with Josie as childminder of our little boy is great - we can tell that he is relaxed and has had fun at Josie's every time we pick him up! Josie is lovely, patient, and caring (she's made sure our little one was okay after he came down with temperature).
Super happy to know that our boy is looked after by someone like her!

I cannot thank Josephine enough how she changed our lives and especially my little baby who is a toddler now. He's been with her since he was 18 months and the development we have seen is incredible. She is a lovely person who will take a step more to ensure our child achieves his target which is an extra bonus. Josephine has other children under her wind and all of them are so amazing and well behaved.
She has helped me in emergency situations too and she is a lovely person to get to know to. I can leave my son stress free because when he gets dropped < i can tell he loves going to there and that smile and then good bye mummy gives it all away. I have seen kids who cry for first few minutes but our child has a smile on his face when he sees Josephine. With Barkar (dog), he has developed being more caring towards animals and we love this.
I cannot write enough to thank Josephine

Hi Ritu. Thanks so much for your amazing review. I can’t say it enough. You guys are absolutely amazing and definitely make the job so easy for me and give me a reason to get out of bed. Thanks so much for the love and regards you guys have shown my family and I especially J. She absolutely adores Ranveer. I pray for many many more years of working together and friendship. Thank you and have a blessed weekend x.
I needed an emergency cover for my child and I was able to get the best from Josephine.
He took to her instantly.. no tears! (to the extent that he didn't want to leave when i picked him up in the evenings). She offers a very great environment for the little ones. Her family and barker were great with him also and he loved every bit of it.
I will definitely recommend Joekky1 to anyone looking for a fun, safe and friendly environment for their little one.
