About Me
I am a Mother of 2 grown-up girls, aged 32 and 26, and a Nana my to 2 grandsons aged 7 and 9yrs and a granddaughter 2 yrs. I've been an Ofsted registered Childminder for 23 years.
My home is a welcoming, warm and friendly environment located in the centre of Sale. I have a large selection of both indoor and outdoor play equipment to cater to all areas of your child's developmental needs.

I attend local playgroups, play centres, as well as regular visits to local parks. When we are within my setting the children have access to my garden, which is a safe and enclosed space. It is well equipped with lots of different toys and activities to entertain your child, whilst developing their knowledge and imagination too. I also do a wide range of craft activities with the children, based on their current interests, seasons, cultural festivities and other calendar events. All area's of your child's development and learning will be focused on whilst in my setting.
During the school holidays I ensure the interests of the entire age range of all the children within my care are met. We go on many day trips, covering parks further a field, museum's, zoo's and farms etc along with activities within the childcare setting.
My Experience
During my time as a childminder I have cared for many children with lots of different needs and requirements. I am always willing to gain any additional knowledge which may be required, in order to care for your child, from yourselves and other professional agencies.
My Qualifications

Our daughter attended Jo’s after the nursery we sent her to began providing inadequate care. We were thrilled to see that she no longer dreaded going to childcare as we’d seen a huge negative change in her during her transition from her first childminder to nursery.
Our daughter enjoyed attending parks and soft play centres with Jo and loved telling us about her days. Jo’s communication with us was second to none and it was brilliant receiving updates throughout the day. We will forever be grateful to Jo and would recommend her!

Hi thank you for the lovely review. So glad she was happy whilst at my setting especially after her negative time before she came to mine. She's more than ready for her next stage in her learning journey with school nursery.
My daughter was with Jo for two years and she loved every minute. She referred to Jo as "my Jo". Every day would be "am I going to my Jo's today"?
My daughter went through a lot of changes personally during that time and Jo was a constant and reliable presence and a source of comfort for my daughter (and for me!) throughout. She was a home from home for my daughter and I could relax every day knowing she was so well cared for. I received regular photos and updates through what's app so I could see what she was getting up to during the day.
Trousers which were too big would come home neatly sewed into little tucks, dirty clothes would come home washed. Food was healthy and plentiful.
Jo took her to zoos and farms, parks and soft play and had a wealth of toys both indoors and outdoors for them to play with. The activities and play time adapted accordingly as she got older.
Craft work was second to none with beautiful artwork and gifts created over Christmas, Easter, mother's day father's day and birthdays.
Thea was happy every minute she was at Jo's and I know she misses her now.
I'll always be thankful to Jo for everything she did for my daughter and for me during those two years, for the care and warmth and attention she provided.

Jo has looked after both of my girls over the last 7 years. She has been absolutely amazing with both of them I couldn't have done it without her. Jo isn't just a childminder, she's more like an aunty or in my case a nana ( what my girls have always called her). I have always been reassured by her, knowing my children are happy, safe and I love the fact that she always kept me up to date with what they were doing. She gives 110% to everything and nothing is too much if you ask her for assistance with anything.
Your a star Jo

Hi Donna
thanks for the wonderful review you I'm sure we'll stay in touch and I'll still see the girls all stay safe and well.
I highly recommend Jo, she has massively exceeded all of our expectations and we really couldn't have asked for anything more from her! My eldest has been picked up by her from springfield primary school every day without fail.. Jo is so reliable and has never let us down. My youngest has been going to her house for over 2 years now, all week mon to fri and she has had an absolute ball. I don't think there is anywhere jo hasn't taken her...soft play, parks, museums, national trust sites.. You name it they have done it all. She has built such good relationships with her other friends there too. Lots of activities to do at her house and a big outdoor space for a good run around the garden. I've loved getting the arts and crafts home that have been made with Jo's help. My daughters love Jo like she's part of the family and we will really miss her... Such a caring person and always goes above and beyond making birthdays special and also sending photographs of what they are doing throughout the day. I will really miss getting these! I honestly cannot recommend Jo highly enough.. She really is a true gem!

Hi Sara
thanks for such a wonderful review it was a pleasure to look after the girls and watch them grow into the confident girls they are. We will all miss the girls and also yourself.
Jo looked after my son for over 18 months and I could not have been happier with the care that he received. My son was always happy to go to Jo's and we still go back to visit her now as he can't wait to see her and her family. Every day Jo would take my son out for various activities and she would always send pictures throughout the day to let me know how he was getting on. Her training and experience are excellent and she was able to identify and assist with my sons development issues.
Overall, Jo understands how difficult it is for you to leave your child and does everything she can to help with this. Thanks Jo!
