My Summary
About Me
My Ofsted registration is graded as a Good. I have a house in a quiet cul-de-sac street, not far from the town centre in Swindon, with a downstairs toilet, kitchen and a lounge diner. I have a large 130 foot garden with several outdoor toys.
My assistant & I, like to take children to play groups where they can learn to play along side other children in a safe environment, sing ,make things ,visits to parks, going to the library & reading stories. I believe a child can be taught a lot without knowing they are learning.

Both my children started with Jo on a daily basis when they were 8 months old. My eldest is now 5 and still attends after school. The children love going to Jo and I've always felt they were safe in her care. Jo has proven herself to be reliable, honest and always open for for communication. Jo and her assistant take the children to local toddler groups and will enrich their learning with fun activities when out and about. Jo has a lovely outside space for the children and mine particularly love the trampoline. The environment of mixed ages has meant the children develop lovely,caring relationships with children of all ages. Jo is flexible with her hours where possible and has gone out of her way several times to accommodate my kids. I wouldn't be able to work fulltime if it wasn't for Jo and her assistants awesome care of my children.
