I would like to highly recommend Jane as a childminder. She took a wonderful care of my son for 8 months and the only reason we stopped is because we moved places. Arthur settled very quickly and has been very happy since day one. Jane provides all the meals even if you have a fussy eater she tries her best, they spend a lot of time outdoors in a parks, farms, woods she is very active and my son loved it. Every day when I picked him up he had some sort of arts and crafts project and his vocabulary had improved quickly too. She is amazing with children and I very much recommend her. Thanks again for taking care of our son xx

I highly recommend Jane!! She was incredible with my children and so caring. It was my first time with a childminder and it was so amazing hearing how much they loved spending time with her, my daughter didn't want to come home on the last day. Jane ensures there's food to cater all appetites and plenty of park trips. The kids come home very well fed and worn out from all the fun!

Thanks Claire, they are Amazing children ⭐️
Jane has been a brilliant childminder for my son who joined her when he was just 10 months. He warmed to her quickly and was very quickly so excited to go to her each day. Jane always provides quality meals and fun, engaging activities for the children. I am so glad we chose to use her and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their child.

Thanks Elisa,
It’s been a pleasure working with your family ☺️
I am writing to highly recommend Jane as an exceptional childminder. I have entrusted my child to her care for the past 3 years and have been consistently impressed with her dedication, professionalism, and nurturing approach to childcare. Jane has created a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment for Isabella. She is patient, understanding, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Isabella has always been happy and engaged when I pick her up from Jane's home. I am particularly impressed with Jane's commitment to providing healthy and nutritious meals. She takes great care to prepare meals that are both delicious and age-appropriate. This has contributed significantly to Isabella's growth and development. Jane's home is impeccably clean and well-organized, fostering a sense of order and safety for the children under her care. She is meticulous about maintaining hygiene standards, ensuring that Isabella is always in a clean and healthy environment. Beyond her daily care, Jane has actively engaged Isabella in age-appropriate activities that promote learning and development. She organizes educational games, crafts, and outings that stimulate Isabella's curiosity and creativity. I have observed a significant improvement in Isabella's social skills, language development, and overall cognitive abilities since being under Jane's care. Jane played a pivotal role in supporting my child during a challenging emotional period caused by my separation from my ex-partner. She provided a safe and supportive environment where Isabella felt comfortable expressing her feelings and processing her emotions. She also recognized Isabella's need for emotional expression and encouraged various outlets, such as art, storytelling, and play. These activities allowed Isabella to process her feelings in a healthy and constructive manner. Without a doubt, Jane is an invaluable asset to any family seeking quality childcare. She is not only a caring and capable provider but also a passionate educator who truly understands the importance of nurturing young minds. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any family looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child.

Thank you Giulia it’s a pleasure caring for Bella, I watch her grow sync seen her turn into a beautiful, lively, clever individual
My daughter started going to Jane when she was 3 years old. She looked after her 5 days a week.
I was extremely happy with the care my daughter received, and the great progress she had made whilst in Jane’s care.
My daughter settled very well at Jane’s from day one and she was always very happy to go there.
Jane is warm and friendly and provides
a wide, fun range of activities, especially outdoor such as going to the local parks and seaside.
Throughout a day Jane would send me photos of Elizabeth, which I was always looking forward to receiving. When I picked her up after work, Jane would always update me on what Elizabeth had done, eaten and any other issues.
All in all I was completely happy with the level of care my daughter had received and
I would absolutely recommend Jane as a great and reliable childminder.

Thank you soo much for your lovely review and it has been an absolute pleasure caring for Elizabeth.
Many thanks Jane x
Jane was my son's childminder for over 9 months - we absolutely would of continued the care but we have moved out of the area, however during that time Jane allowed our son to explore so much, he grew before our eyes every time he spent a day with Jane and the other children.
He learned how to walk, to talk and to count in Janes care. We couldn't have been happier with the support she showed our son. He is a very fussy eater, but it wasn't long before Jane found of what healthy foods he would never refuse and always made sure there was plenty for him.
We were updated with photos during the day, a log book of activities/naps/food etc and he always left saying new words, singing at the top of his lungs and with a face full of spaghetti!
Thank you Jane, we trusted you with the care of our son, and you never let us down!

Jane welcome my Liam ( 6 5 month baby) into her family house for the last year. Jane always provided stimulating activities , which regularly included art and crafts , social play with the other children and educational activities linked in to EYFS. He enjoyed day trips, picnic and outdoor activities.
Jane service is extremely reliable , never requiere time off without notice and always being upfront and honest about charges , invoices and notices period.
I no longer use Janes childminding because we are moving to Newcastle however I do not hesite in recommending her excellent services to anyone who would like their children to be looked after in caring , fun and professional environments.
Thank you xx

Thank for Laura & Alberto
I wish miss Liam so much and wish you all a lovely new life in Newcastle 😀
Jane has been carrying for our son for a couple of years now and it was honestly the best decision we could have made, for our boy. He loves his days with Jane and the friends he has made.
We can't wait for our youngest son to join them, when I go back to work. We know they will both be in very safe hands and have the most exciting, fun time. Thank you so much Jane!
