Excellent Childminder Rated 5 out of 5
Janet has been caring for my 2 boys, Luis (6 in the school holidays) and Tommy (2 full time) for nearly a year. She is absolutely fantastic and has a great setting. She is warm, friendly, caring and most importantly completely reliable. Should anyone but the school or my mum be required to take care of my boys, Janet is always top of my list. We love her.
Home from home Rated 5 out of 5
Janet has been looking after my now 3 year old daughter for nearly a year. She is just brilliant - reliable, kind, caring, fills the day with various fun activities. Ellena really looks forward to her days at Janet's and gets very excited when approaching her house. Great home from home enviromnent, too - lovely childfriendly house with a spacious childproof garden with plenty of fun equipment to play with. Would very much recommend.

Janet has looked after my son from 3 months old, she has always gone above and beyond to help and support our family. Our litlte chap adores Janet and treats her like one of his family. She offers a homely environment with a lovely playroom and garden. Being a working parent can be stressful but i know my son is in the best care whilst i'm away. I have and would recommend Janet to all, she truley is the best!
Always reliable Rated 5 out of 5
Janet has known my children Olivia and Tom since they were born. She is trustworthy, honest, great fun and always reliable often helping out when I need it in an emergency. I cannot thank her enough for the love, care and warmth she has given my children. They love her and always look forward to seeing her. Thank you Janet.
Highly Recommend Rated 5 out of 5
Janet has been looking after my son for over two years now and I have always been very happy with the service she offers. Janet has a great garden and playroom filled with toys and books to enjoy. I like the fact that Janet gets my son painting, drawing, making things and being creative. Also Jake loves to go exploring on the walks they do. Janet has always been there to help me with Jake and I trust her fully. Janet is a great child minder and I would definitely recommend her.
Excellent childminder! Rated 5 out of 5
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, verbally, intellectually and physically since being in Janet's care. Janet really encourages the kids with fun and educational activities and is always so attentive and caring towards their individual needs. I don't need to worry while I'm at work as I know my daughter is in very safe and capable hands!
Excellent Childminder Rated 5 out of 5
We have be lucky enough to be able to have Janet look after our oldest son and his younger brother. Both of my children have always been happy to go and excited to see what they will be up to for the day. Janet has a great garden and playroom for the children to enjoy. They love all the painting, colouring and making things. I trust Janet completely with my children. I would recommend as childminder.
