My Summary
About Me
my name is Jo, and I have been registered since July 2012, I'm a registered childminder in Rushden
I am married to Lee. we have three children, Chelsea, who was born in April 2000, Shannon who was born in September 2002 and Kallum who was born in October 2004. I have a chocolate labrador called Bear. He will be an assisted dog for my daughter who has special needs,
I have just completed how to set up home-based childcare level 3
I am an Ofsted registered childminder
My aim as a childminder is to provide daycare facilities for children that I would feel happy about leaving my children in. And I can also offer lots of activities to develop the children. And I provide a safe and happy environment for the children in my care.
My Experience
My childcare experience ranges from being around children from a very young age to having my children. I grew up in a loving, safe and happy household. This is an environment, which I believe is essential for any child to grow up in. I also believe I can offer this safe and happy environment to child/children. I started a regular babysitting job at the age of 15, I also did work experience for two weeks in a primary school, also did another two weeks in a children's hospital working with disabled children. I then went off to work when I was 18 in a factory to earn some money so I could set our home ready to start our family. but in the back of my mind, I knew my dream job was to work with children, so here I am now finally doing the dream job I've dreamt about.

We are incredibly grateful to have found Jo, who has been a wonderful presence in our lives since we moved to the area. From the moment we met her, she was welcoming and exuded warmth and professionalism, making her our first point of call for childcare.
Her caring nature is evident in how she interacts with our child, always attentive and nurturing. She goes above and beyond to ensure that each day is filled with fun and engaging activities. Our child has enjoyed numerous outings, which have been both educational and entertaining, greatly contributing to their development and happiness.
One of the aspects we appreciate most is her commitment to keeping us informed. We receive daily updates about our child's progress, activities, and any milestones they reach. This consistent communication provides us with peace of mind and allows us to share in our child's experiences, even when we're not there.
We highly recommend Jo to anyone seeking a caring, professional, and reliable childcare provider. She has been an invaluable part of our transition to a new area and has truly enriched our child's life.
We cannot thank Jojo for everything she has done for Ru. She provides a wonderful homely environment where the children can play, explore and do some lovely arts and crafts. She takes them out exploring the world and seeing new things. She also has two assistants who are sometimes present and they are just as caring and amazing. Jo-jo is highly recommended and jojo’s childcare will always remain and wonderful important part of Ru’s life x

Aww, thank you for the kind words in the review. It's been my pleasure to be a part of Ru's life & development journey, I wish you all the best for the future.x
Jo was very helpful and put me at ease as a key worker it was stressful finding someone.
The children aged 9/4/ 19months all loved the setting and the different available things to keep them occupied.
Thank you jo

Thankyou Sarah for the kind words, it was a pleasure to help out.
Our Son has attended JoJos for a year and a half. During that time, Thomas has grown leaps and bounds. At 2 years old he knows all his colours and shapes, he counts to 14 and recognises numbers and letters. He is potty trained and can communicate very well. JoJos has all the educational benefits of a nursery but with the benefit of being a family environment. With her assistant Chelsea the family home becomes a micro nursery. Thomas had just turned 1 when he started with JoJos and being a first time mum I was nervous to leave him but she reassured me throughout the first few days with pictures and messages and he settled in like JoJo had always been there. If you're looking for a home from home I would highly recommend.

Thankyou for the lovely Review, it was my pleasure to work with you, and look after Thomas.
Jo has been looking after our twin girls for nearly two years. Her environment is warm, caring and nurturing.
Our girls have loved going to Jo’s and their time with her has really helped their development.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jo, she has truly become part of our family.
