Joanne is a Fantastic childminder. Being new to the UK, she gave me the peace of mind that I needed to leave my daughter with her from when she was 7months old.

She had a kept a daily diary of what my daughter ate (mainly healthy foods & treats), times she took a nap and any highlights for the day, including any new words she learnt. This was really amazing as it made me feel like I was part of their day and showed great attention to detail, which I think is important when looking after young children.

She took numerous pictures and kept a learning journal which she shared with us on a regular basis. Took our daughter to the library each week, went to parks etc. She had good programs planned for each day, which encouraged being outdoors when the weather permitted, which I loved (children don't just spend time in front of the TV).

We would definitely recommend her as a childminder. She's got such a great heart and I feel that we were really fortunate to meet her at such a crucial stage in our life.

Thanks for everything Jo
