My Summary
Early Years Provider
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Early Years Provider. I live with my husband of 33 years. I have 2 grown up Children and 2 grandchildren . We live in a four bedroom semi detached house with spacious garden, backing on to fields. We are located within walking distance of Sanderstead Village and Hamsey Green. We are on the 403 bus route and close to Warlingham, Sanderstead, Purley and Riddlesdown train stations.
After working in Local Government for 20 years I decided I wanted to change my career and became a professional child carer. It was the best decision I've ever made and I love it.
I know how hard it is to leave children and I am able to support working parents by looking after their children in a safe, loving home from home environment. They can make friends,have fun and learn at the same time.
I have a playroom that links to the dining/kitchen area and a door into the garden, providing free flow where there are, rockers, ride-ons, sand and water table and much more.
In the playroom I have a wide range of Toys, resources and books. We enjoy Craft Activities, Cooking etc.
I provide the full EYFS curriculum for the children in my care which is delivered through play, exploration and real life experiences.
Funding accepted
Young children take so much interest and delight in the world around them and I hope to give them the confidence and security to become independent, competent learners. By following the principles of the EYFS I hope to progress each individual child to their full potential, whatever level that may be.
I provide freshly cooked meals and healthy snacks and am Registered as a Food Business with Environmental Health.
My Public Liability Insurance is with NCMA (National Childminding Association) of which I am a member.
I have full business use Insurance cover for Childminding on my car. I have had a clean Driving Licence since I passed my driving test a very long time

Jill is an amazing childminder. Both my children have been under the Jill's care and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She cares for our children as she would her own. Always out and about, doing activities or going to groups. I know that if my daughter is sad, Jill will always be there for a cuddle when I can't be.

I cannot recommend Jill & Kim enough. They have a genuine passion for children, with all the right attributes being caring, loving, patient and full of attention.
Jill’s house is the perfect setting which has been adapted perfectly for little ones. They are both extremely accommodating, flexible and 100% reliable. They really do go above and beyond their duties as childminders.
Both our children have loved going there. They have so much fun and I have always been amazed at all the different activities they do and all the different arts and crafts they bring home always amazes me.
I feel so grateful to have found Jillyjays. I remember how anxious we were as parents when we sent our first child. But we were so happy with everything that we were more than happy to send our second. And now we have just had our third we are certainly hoping to do the same. We are so grateful for both of their warmth, generosity, love and attention towards our children and look forward to many more years of having such fabulous childminders.

Jill and kim are trustworthy, caring, supportive, creative and reliable! Our son has had an incredible few years at jillyjays. He has made so much progress since the age of 11months and has enjoyed being with his additional family. The activities that they do every day are engaging and catered for their individual needs. Our son has additional needs and could completely trust Jill and kim to care for him and ensure he was always happy.

I used JillyJay's with my little girl. I was very very nervous as a first time Mum about leaving her at 8 months old. Jill and Kim were so lovely and supportive. They provide a homely environment which was tailored to all ages. I was sad to have to leave due to relocating :(

I've been very pleased with the progress of my child. Jill and Kim provide excellent care in a homely environment. Great resources, well informed parents, regular feedback, reports, comments about child progression. My daughter joined Jillyjays shortly after she turned 1 year. Now she is 2 and we've never had a problem with her going to the service. Both ladies are very welcoming and caring so the kids could feel like at home. I could see how much my daughter has learnt there. Only 2 years old but very independent, sociable, talkative. Jill and Kim raised my standards and expectations of a childminder service. Now I know how to recognise a great, outstanding care. If not the fact that we're moving area, I would definitely continue with Jillyjays.
