Joanna looked after my little boy four days a week from January 2018 to June 2019. He loved going there. He very much felt part of her family and adored playing both with the other mindees and with Joanna's own children. He was just 1 when he went to her, so he did a huge amount of his development during that time. Joanna always kept us up-to-date on his progress, sending us regular messages and photos through the day. It's very hard when you first leave your child with someone else to go back to work, and Joanna made the transition as easy as possible for us. We always felt that our son was well looked after and happy. There was plenty of outside time both at Joanna's house and the playground, and regular trips to the library and music groups. We felt that he had a varied and stimulating time, and also felt very settled and loved. He only moved from her because we moved house, and we were very sorry to have to leave.
