Jean has been looking after my 18 month old daughter for the last 6 months, since I returned to work after maternity leave.
It was Jean's positive attitude and kindly nature that ensured my transition back to work went so smoothly. Its a difficult time returning to work and I couldn't have done it if I hadn't felt so assured and confident in leaving my daughter with Jean.
My daughter absolutely loves spending time at Jean's and her development has come on in leaps and bounds. Jean easily adopted our routine, so nothing changed in her sleeping/eating habits, this was really reassuring as I had concerns that our daughters routine might change when I returned to work.
Jean structures the day so that plenty of time is spent visiting play groups, play grounds, parks and also reading and lots of one to one play time.
Its really encouraging to know that all of my daughters needs, including developmental needs, are being met.
Jean also gives us a book each day detailing everything that she has done and how my daughter has been, which I have found really assuring.
Jean has also been really adaptable in dealing with some of our requests, including the use of reusable nappies which I know aren't always easy to use!
I would thoroughly recommend Jean to anyone looking for a childminder.
