Five stars isnt enough!!

We make an hour round trip each morning to travel to Judy as there is no one else we’d rather leave our daughter with.

Our daughter has been outside every single day since being with Judy. Every. Single. Day!! This isn’t something that is forced or a tick box, it’s because Judy genuinely has a thirst for fun and life and shares it with the kids. It’s so incredible to watch.

The stimulation and early learning our daughter gets is fantastic. She’s learnt how to count to 10, and her speech has developed so rapidly as she was a little delayed before.

Judy regularly puts on fun events such as, Space week, Halloween, VE Day to name a few! She always makes it extra special with the smallest of details; balloons, lights, bubble machines, costumes, great food- making her own bespoke outdoor mud kitchen! Just last week she even laminated a certificate and wrote little paragraphs about what they did and enjoyed! My daughter was beaming with pride when we read it together.

Every time each of the children has a birthday, she makes them their own cake, gives them a little present, decorates and they have a little party.

On top of everything else, our daughter comes home immaculate! No more separate nursery clothes.

Previously we were at a larger chain nursery- she’d constant get ill, her clothes were filthy, they’d rarely go outside and her learning was delayed. I’d feel sad picking her up.

Instead, now our daughter has literally cried leaving Judy’s as she’s having such fun!

Judy had given us a special helping hand with our daughter that we can’t thank her enough for. We are very lucky to have found her.

Judy is the best!

We were incredibly lucky to get into Judy’s care, and now I understand why she is in such high demand. She is a wonderful, warm person. I am the mother of a little girl who has been battling cancer since she was 8 months old, but thanks to Judy she is able to experience amazing adventures and enjoy her childhood. Every day she asks when she will go to “Judy” again. My daughter adores her—and so do I. I have only one child And I wouldn’t trust anyone else enough to leave my daughter in their care. Judy understands my child’s limitations and needs. She helps her develop properly and teaches her new skills. She always arrives with a smile and shares how her day has been. She is the best teacher, caregiver, mentor, and person. She is the best

One in a million! ✨️

Judy truly is one in a million. She goes above and beyond to create purposeful, engaging and memorable learning experiences that our daughters love. The children explore the world outdoors regularly and look forward to their 'Judy days'. She celebrates a whole range of occasions and events with the children and it is so clear how much time and effort is invested! The regular photo updates she shares throughout the day give us complete peace of mind knowing our girls are happy and thriving.

Judy has become like an extended part of our family. Her warm and nurturing environment has helped our children to build strong friendships and enjoy thoughtful, creative activities every day. She provides a home cooked meal in the evening so we are always safe in the knowledge that the children have had a nutritious dinner when collecting after a busy day at work.

Her kindness and support, especially while I was pregnant with our second child, meant so much to us and her wonderful family have also helped our girls feel secure and settled. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder and are so grateful for everything she does!

A second home

Judy has been an excellent find as we’ve raised our two young children. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all children in her care have the best start to their early years and provides home-cooked meals, plenty of outdoor time and a solid learning experience. Parents are kept well informed and receive plenty of updates and photos throughout the day.

So glad we found her!

Luckily I found Judy as I was planning my return back to work after maternity leave. We were very cautious and looked at a few local
Childminders but we both felt we clicked with Judy and her approach. My son enjoys his time so much as every day is different. They do so many activities and are out and about which is a great environment and has helped my little one develop over the past year. She also provides a home cooked meal in the evening which means I know he has eaten a nutritious meal. It’s been amazing seeing the effort she puts in for all special occasions/days and birthdays. We are very lucky to have found her and so glad she is part of our sons journey

Judy is Fantastic!

Going back to work from maternity leave was hard but having Judy made it so much easier. Judy is brilliant with our son and he loves his days there. Judy always puts our minds at ease when we have any concerns (first time parents). We are so grateful to have Judy as our childminder!

We are so thankful to have met Judy

Judy has taken such great care of our daughter and is a very kind and caring person.

She understood our daughters needs when she first started with Judy and she provided a smooth transition that helped our daughter to settle successfully.

Judy offers a range of age appropriate curriculum focused activities and regularly engages our daughter in celebrations and festivals, as well as acknowledging each child’s milestone.
 
She is a true caregiver, with an open heart and sense of love and respect, whilst always giving the children her full attention and maintaining house rules and structure.

We have been extremely happy with her services.

A home from home

Going back to work after maternity leave was made so much easier because of Judy. My three sons love attending, they do different activities daily, walks, parks, attend play groups and have the best home cooked meals. Judy provides a safe and nurturing environment for all that attend and we often here them laughing inside when we're collecting. A house full of toys and love, Judy celebrates with the children each of their milestones and public holidays and always goes the extra mile. Judy is calm, kind and patient as is her family and we feel very lucky to have found her. A true gem.

A fabulous childminder

Judy looks after both of my boys (pre schoolers). She provides wonderful child care , she takes them out every day, she has a house and garden full of fabulous toys. She provides a home cooked meal which they love. She supports their development and both my boys are doing so well with her. I like that my boys are together. She knows them both so well it is a huge relief to know they are in a supportive and caring environment. Her whole family are great to my boys and they have made lots of friends.
