Joanne has been a childminder for my two young children (9 months and 23 months old) for over a year. She is a 'home from home' for them and gives them effective 'one-on-one' attention and care which you can't get in a nursery setting. Moreover, the children love being with her and I feel confident that they are safe and happy under her supervision, with age appropriate activities and stimulation. Joanne is organised and proactive in all aspects of childminding from paperwork to the day to day logistics of minding the children, and most critically kind and loving towards my boys. With demanding jobs, my husband and I have found her to be flexible and accommodating when we have needed to alter hours and/or had last minute unplanned events arise. I could not recommend Joanne highly enough.
