Our little girl went to Julie from 10 months to school age, and she has gone off to school not only ready, but happy and healthy. Julie has been a big part of that, ensuring that the children in her care prioritise kindness. Julie also takes the child’s lead in terms of what they are ready for, and when out little one showed an interest in reading she sought advice on how best to teach her early phonics, meaning she has been able to start some reading well before starting school.
Julie is also the only person who has ever got our little one to sleep in a cot during the day!

Before taking my daughter to Julies I was so sad that I had to go back to work and leave her with someone else, but what a blessing it's actually been. Julie is so kind, calm and professional and my daughter's confidence and skillset has grown massively since she started going there. We're so sad to leave Julies setting but we're so thankful for the time that she has had there.

I write this review today after my son has been going to Julie's for 7 years. I found Julie on this website when i needed someone to have him before and after school as he started in reception. 7 years later and the only reason we are stopping is he is off to secondary school.
Julie has provided the most loving, nurturing, safe and fun environment that we as a family could have asked for. She has listened and supported my son and myself through challenges at school, she has protected and encourage all his loves and hobbies and she made the environment a family away from home. The crafts they do and experiences she has given them even getting a letter back from the Queen.
I think of the day i met Julie as one of the luckiest days in both mine and my sons life- never could i have dreamed of someone that i would feel so confident leaving my child with so i could work and most importantly who gave my son some of his fondest memories and most fun times. She is an incredibly special lady & childminder.

I’m not too sure there are enough words to describe how incredible Julie is; she is simply one of life’s most amazing people. When we decided that we need to put our son into a childminder setting Julie from the off showed high levels of professionalism by inviting us round to her home which is her child care setting, ensured we saw her work as a childminder with other children and showed us her style of teaching and play. We was encouraged to look through her reviews and certificates to make sure that Julie was the right fit for us- to me this just shows that Julie puts the children and their needs first at all times. Once we had decided that it was a no brainer to start our son with Julie, she offered us some taster days so that our son could settle into the new environment before starting for 2 days a week.
From the off Julie made him feel welcome, and he settled into Julie’s care in no time. Each week there are different activities that they do including going out to local play groups. It is safe to say our son has thrived in the time he has been with Julie and we have noticed his speech has come on leaps and bounds and we have Julie to be forever grateful for assisting him with that. Potty/ toilet training also commenced whilst he was under Julie’s care and with her encouragement he has bypassed the potty and gone straight to being comfortable on the toilet. So many little examples I could use to explain how Julie has played such a pivotal role in making our son into the great little guy he is today.
My husband and I will be recommending Julie to everyone; even though it goes without saying she is probably the most in demand childminder around for miles. We will always be so grateful that Julie has been such a big part in our lives and has helped our son grow, we Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.
Even now, our son will often mention Julie and her family alongside the other wonderful little ones she cares for and it just shows she has had such an impact on him.
You are one of life’s finest Julie! A big thankyou once again and for those considering a childminder in the Oakley and surrounding areas look no further- this lady is a gem x

Julie has been our childminder for four years and I cannot recommend her services more highly. Her setting in her home provides a style of care that suits our children and allows them to thrive as if they are part of the Family; our two are very happy here and adore Julie.
Our opinions are always considered and any developmental needs are discussed and shared with the progress of our children at heart. All requests are dealt with professionally and advice is given from experience. For example, when our children were potty training Julie advised how to best approach it and then continued discussed routines for consistency.
Julie plans meticulously with the individual needs of the child at the centre of her process; our children have learnt so much from reading and writing to personal care and social skills. Over the years our two have progressed so much in every conceivable way and this is documented through thorough assessment which has been shared with full transparency.
As a parent I have full peace of mind when I drop my children off as I know that they will be cared for, they will be fully engaged in brilliantly planned activities and they will of had a day full of laughter and fun. Communication is fantastic, we are told about everyday and will encourage our two to recap their day with activities such as, Autumn treasure hunts, Chinese New Year decoration and singing.
I cannot recommend Julie enough, she has truly made our lives better, giving us the peace of mind that our children are truly in a rewarding environment. For anyone looking for world class childcare look no further. Julie is passionate about the care, education and wellbeing of our children. I am under no illusion that we are extremely lucky to have her.
