Jane has been taking exceptionally good care of our 10 month old son.

His time with Jane sadly comes to an end this month only because we are moving out of area - we definitely would not have changed childminder if we were remaining local. 

Alot of Mums are quite worried about leaving their child in the care of someone else, naturally.  As I'm only human, I too was concerned as I returned to work 4 days a week.

I wanted to find a childminder that I could trust to: 1) make sure my child is happy, well fed and regularly changed during the day & has a sleep twice a day; 2) adequately stimulated throughout the day with various activities; 3) give me no reason to worry while at work; 4) offer care in practical, knowledgable way that did not lead to calls to me in the day  for small issues &, 5) to be confident in using their initiative to sort small issues throughout the day.

Too much to ask? It seems not!  Jane sets the bar very high, meeting all of the above and much, much more. She instills care & confidence. 

My child was well looked after with Jane. I leave him with a happy face and I collect him in the evening with the same, having enjoyed activities on a planned or spontaneous (weather depending!), well organised and structure way, both in and outdoors,throughout the day.

I'm happy to recommend Jane and wouldn't leave my child with another childminder if she wasn't of the same abilities as Jane.  

Jane works with you as a parent and provides feedback each day, in line with the Early Years framework. 

You couldn't ask for more! Pity she didn't live down the road to our new address!! I'm happy for you to contact me directly in relation to this recommendation.
