As a first time mum, the thought of returning back to work and leaving my baby with someone new was very daunting but Jodi really helped to make the experience stress free and I can't thank her enough for that. Apart from the worry of leaving my baby for the first time, I was also worried about how anyone else would cope with his dairy allergy but Jodi has been brilliant - she asked me lots of questions and really made the effort to understand his allergy, she's so good she probably knows more than I do about it now! From day one my little boy was happy to be at Jodi's with her and the other children she looks after, and after just a few months it's clear to see just how much he has developed from being there. Every day he seems to have learned something new, whilst still having lots of fun and I love reading his daily activity journal to see what they've been up to on their latest adventure. Jodi's home setting is ideal, there is plenty of space for the children to roam and explore whether that be in the garden or the playroom and her whole family have been so welcoming to us. I can honestly say we couldn't have found a better childminder and I can't recommend Jodi enough.
