Jo is energetic and always has great ideas to entertain the kids. They do a lot of craft, baking, gardening, she has a big garden for the kids to play outside.

My oldest started going part-time when she was 18 months old and she looked confident and happy to go every morning from day one. She liked it so much that quickly she was asking to go on days she wasn't scheduled.
Then my youngest started going too when she was 6 months old and she settled in very easily as well.

I was wondering how it would be with a childminder also looking after her own kids but I was pleased to see that there is no special treatment for anyone and her children are great kids who seem happy to have other kids around.

She is very flexible and always tries to make it work for us when we need to change days, need pick up/drop off or if we need to extend the session.

She is also very attentive to the kids' behaviours and change of mood to help deal with challenges and notices if they seem unwell.

We are moving overseas and we will greatly miss her.
