Jan's Reviews

Childcare superheroes!

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.

Thank you so much 😊. Your interaction with us - uploading photos and observations to our online system - has been brilliant. It is a pleasure witnessing your children thrive and grow and we love having your family as part of our setting. 😀

Best Childminders Ever :)

My daughter has been going to Jan and Dave’s since February 2014 and she absolutely loves it. Both are very warm and welcoming to children & parents alike. I don’t need to worry in the slightest about my daughter whilst I am at work as I know she is being well looked after. I am very impressed with the amount of things they do with the children. You can see from all the smiling faces that greet you every time, that all the children are happy and well cared for whilst with Jan & Dave. My daughter loves them and we are so glad we choose Jan & Dave x

Very welcoming

I found Jan and her husband very welcoming on a visit to choose a childminder. They were both very attentive to my daughter and the other child there. The only reason I didn't choose Jan was the distance from ky house on wet days. It was really hard to say no as me and my eaughter felt welcome and safe. Jan will always remain as a reserve childminder if my choice works out wrong. Many thanks.
