My son has been with Jan and Dave for over two years and has thrived in their care. In that time, he has grown in confidence and become a really happy, settled little boy. His baby sister joined him when she was 8 months old and absolutely loves her Jan and Dave days. Where Alex had a significant speech delay, they were understanding and supportive of the techniques and games given to us by the speech and language therapists. They are now supporting Emmie with her speech development and have completed referrals to outside agencies on our behalf. I have been blown away by their understated professionalism and their willingness to learn and improve their knowledge. They have an incredible reputation and are an amazing support to other childminders in the area. As an Early Years teacher, I am very familiar with the EYFS and Development Matters frameworks. Jan and Dave provide appropriate activities and resources for my children to access all areas of learning and stages of development and make accurate and regular observations and set relevant and achievable next steps. Their knowledge of the EYFS is second to none and I have ‘borrowed’ many of their ideas to use in school myself!
Alex and Emmie both run in happily in the mornings and are reluctant to leave, showing me they have amazing days in a fun, safe, well-resourced setting with their friends. Thank you for everything you have done, we appreciate it more than you could ever know.
