Our two children (aged 2.5 and 1) started with Jannine in Balham and settled in immediately. They love it! Jannine is incredibly welcoming and clearly cares for all the children she looks after. For us, we are so pleased with how much time they spend outside, how flexible Jannine is (term time only, flexible pick up/drop off times) and how much socialising they get. There are more children than at a typical childminder (Jannine had extra pairs of hands to help!) but this is brilliant for us as it means the cosiness and family feel of a childminder but with the benefit of socialising that you get at a nursery. Jannine gives the children lots of opportunities to learn new things and my children come back full of songs they have learnt, numbers/counting, activities (making jam, caterpillar eggs/butterflies, teddy bears picnic trip to the park to name a few!) and are excited to see her each day.
