Jules is currently providing emergency childminding for my son.
It was arranged at very short notice (less than 12 hrs!) and Jules was unbelievably accommodating in getting things sorted. It was very nerve wracking thinking about leaving my son in someone's care who I hadn't met but Jules immediately put me at ease when she greeted us at the door.
She kept me updated throughout the day as she knew I was anxious which made me feel so much better.
She tells me what they are planning to do for the week ahead which is lovely as I know my son will have a good time.
Jules' setting is very homely, and like a home and she has a gorgeous friendly dog too which is great as I personally feel it is good for children to be around animals.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jules to care for your children. She clearly loves her job very much and is great with my little boy.

I used Jules for my youngest from when he was 6 months old. Immediately I could tell Jules was a genuine, warm hearted person who loved the children she cared for. My son formed a genuine relationship with her quickly and loved all the adventures she took him on, particularly forest school, Wentworth and Chatsworth. He made amazing friends and his speech came on significantly during his time with her. Jules was really proactive with communication and put my son and the other children at the heart of everything she did. I am really grateful for the care she showed my son.

Thanks Debs, I miss him terribly and do hope he's enjoying his new adventures x
If you are, like I was, extremely picky about who you leave your child with and have high standards for their care then look no further than Jules! Jules knows exactly how to connect with children - she established a firm bond with my son instantly. What I valued most about Jules (apart from the fact that she was very attachment-led and professional in her work) was her communication. Very clear, very warm and always felt very safe - I witnessed her actively building trust with my son in this way, and he always knew exactly where he stood with her. I spoke to lots of childminders before Jules, and none had the warmth and energy Jules had. I really liked how she managed behaviour - again always communicating expectations in an age appropriate way, and very clear and always supportive. She recognises that it's only on the basis of secure relationships that learning follows - and she was so engaging with Henry; his days with her activity packed I know he learned so much. From messy science experiments on the kitchen table, to ladybird spotting on walks Henry Jules always goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy, secure, engaged and learning. I could not have asked for more for my child.

Jules has cared for our child since he was 6 months old and she really has been paramount in his development. He has benefitted from the warm family environment and enjoyed his time with the other children there. Jules has always kept us well informed on all matters concerning our child and offers great insight and experience into how he is getting on. We would not have any other childminder, she feels like one of the family.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jules’ childminding!
Jules was our childminder for our son Elliott from when he was 15 months old to starting school this September and although I was excited for him to start school, saying goodbye to Jules was one of the hardest parenting things I’ve had to do!
Jules provides a safe, caring, warm quality of care in a home environment which is clean, stimulating and fun for the children. She has always been incredibly flexible and her communication is outstanding. I’ve always felt that she was supportive of me and my family in terms of our needs and always listened to any questions or issues that we’ve wanted to raise. She’s always been extremely thorough telling us about Elliott’s day with her and she made me feel as though I was leaving him with family.
She was instrumental in helping to bring my baby boy up to be the gorgeous little man he is today. Her provision is not only caring but rich and varied. She supported his early numeracy and literacy through lots of engaging play and she took him out on loads of trips!
Jules is firmly a part of our family and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Jules looked after my 20 month old little girl temporarily for a few months. From the start I found her to be very welcoming, warm and caring. She is accommodating and flexible; my partner works shifts so the days and times we needed childcare varied and she was always willing to help. I was anxious leaving my little girl but Jules made me feel reassured with regular updates etc and I trusted her completely. She would always plan fun activities and and crafts for my little girl. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Jules is an absolute natural with kids. She'd have my daughter (aged 8) over the school holidays to help me out. All I'd hoped for was a caring environment and the odd trip to the park, but jules went well above and beyond that. She planned educational sessions tailored to what my daughter likes to do (she's science mad so they do loads of experiments!) trips to museums, baking and crafts. She was willing to be flexible and she always communicated well with me. My daughter now asks when she can go to jule's house each holiday as being at home is obviously too boring! Can't recommend her highly enough. She's relaxed, smiley, enthusiastic and generally just a nice person to be around, I trust her explicitly.
