My Summary
About Me
Availability from September 2024.
I am a GOOD and highly recommended registered childminder .
I am proud to offer a high quality, nurturing and homely environment for children from 9 months. I work alone and limit my numbers to 3 early years children per day .
In addition, I offer limited spaces for before and after school drop off and pick up from Holy Redeemer playgroup, Chatsworth Infants and Burnt Oak Junior school.
All children are welcomed as part of the family and we have a spacious home and enclosed garden with lots of toys and outdoor play equipment.
Activities include the options to attend gymnastics, library, forest school and toddler groups. During school holidays I arrange age appropriate outings, for example bowling and crazy golf.
I pride myself on offering a wide variety of healthy and enjoyable foods and can meet any individual dietary needs and personal likes and dislikes are always considered.
I was inspected by ofsted in January 2024 and achieved an overall Good grade with some outstanding moments.
I have many references from parents which are displayed in a folder for you to browse through when visiting my home for an initial visit.

Our son has been going to Jane since November 2021 when he was ten months old. We were immediately comfortable and confident with Janes ability to care for him from day one.
Jane provides a clean and safe home from home environment for Reggie in which he is safe and cared for whilst being treated as part of the family. We have always been blown away with how much Jane does with the children and how much she has been able to teach him from such a young age. From free play at local parks, exploring local woodlands and preschool gymnastic classes to regular painting, cooking, singing and reading sessions, the list is endless.
Jane provides us with fantastic communication and feedback each day he attends by sending us photographs of what he has been up to during the day on WhatsApp along with a full report in his contact book of all of the activities they have done along with his toilet schedule and what he has eaten throughout the day. Jane also gives us full, in-depth reports at the end of each term with his development and things to focus on moving forward, which we found incredibly useful and insightful.
From the bottom of our hearts, we think Jane is a truly wonderful childminder and we are thrilled to have found her back in 2021. We have never had any complaints or reservations with Janes childcare ability and can confidently say that Jane has been a huge pillar in our sons development during these early years. We are so thankful that she has given him the safe space he has needed to thrive.

Our Daughter loves her days with Jane. Jane provides a safe and comfortable home from home environment for the children with a wide selection of toys and garden activities. The kids participate in regular activities including, forest school, gymnastics, park, library. My Daughter now has a love of gymnastics and has great skill and this is thanks to Jane.
Jane provides a record of what the children have being doing on a daily basis and has given us guidance when we needed assistance with speech delay.
We cant thank her enough for everything she has done for us!

We can’t thank Jane enough for the care she’s given to our little girl. Jane has looked after her for the last two years and she has loved every minute. They are always busy doing activities, whether it be out and about or arts and crafts - we always get lovely little home made keep sakes for special occasions. We’ve seen our little girl develop so much in the time with Jane, and we can only put it down to the time Jane spends teaching her daily skills. We can’t thank Jane enough.
