We are so lucky we were introduced to Jan. She has cared for Alfie since he was 11 months old and has been such a wonderful calm, kind and supportive presence in our lives and that of our little boy. She is very calm and gentle but also fun and knowledgeable. She has so much experience that nothing phases her- very useful if you are a nervous new parent.
I work odd and changeable hours and jan has been incredibly flexible and helpful with my schedule and with extra help during our recent house move.
She is also very attentive and notices things about Alfie that shows she’s really attuned to him and attentive to his needs which was really important to us.
She attends local playgroups and makes home made proper food for the children which was also a big plus for us. It really is a home from home environment where we feel like we’re dropping him off with a lovely auntie rather than to an impersonal childcare setting.
Jan is also excellent at communicating but isn’t on her phone all the time which is also a major plus.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
