My Summary
About Me
As a parent, I understand how it feels entrusting your child to someone else. I would like parents to have peace of mind when they hand their children over to me. That’s exactly why I have pursued my passion to have my own nurturing home-based childcare setting where children have a central focus.
My previous IT work background changed when I had my son, I realized my passion is the learning and development of children so I sought out experiences where I could have a positive impact on children such as midday supervision, reading volunteers and learning support assistant in primary schools. I have a special interest in outdoor learning, especially the difference it can make in children’s emotional well being. This is something all children in my care will benefit from.

I have an 18 month old and although we have not been with Joanne for too long, by coming up here to type this review, it’s proof that I can boldly say she is the only one I want ever looking after my babies😍. She is God-sent. Coming from a mum who had a TERRIBLE experience with a childminder I met on this site where my child came home overwhelmed everyday and hungry, my expectations became high and I became skeptical. Joanne may seem disciplined over text 😂 but I promise she is so warm, kind, loving and EXTREMELY efficient and understanding to any parent.
My baby girl LOVES her and loves going to her place. In just 2 days of Joanne looking after my shy girl, she’s become more friendly, smiley and warm.
If you are considering Joanne and she has availability, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Jo❤️

My son will joining today and having his first day. So far the experience has been great. Signing up was easy and Joanne made me and my son feel extremely comfortable. He had instantly warmed up to her! It is my first day going back to work and I have been anxious going back to work after so long but Joanne made the process really easy for me and I know my son is in good hands. Thank you Joanne x

I’ve had my son in the care of Joanne for the last 3 years and can’t recommend her enough. Joanne has been amazing with looking after my son and taking care of him like he’s her own. From the moment I first visited her setting I had a sense of comfortability because she was so welcoming and I could already tell my son would enjoy the environment he would be in. Any question or needs I had she ensured to help me out and get the answers I required. I view her as more than a child minder but a friend and sister. She is certainly passionate about the work she does and the children she looks after as all she ever wants is the best for them.
If you require a safe environment that has a homely vibe and filled with love, she is the person for you.
