Before becoming a childminder I gained an honours degree from Swansea University.  I then worked as a Child Care Officer in a local authority children's home and as a Children's Worker for Women's Aid.

Feedback from parents

"We can't thank Jo enough for the brilliant provision she supplies. It's truly outstanding."

​

"Jo has been an excellent childminder to my son. She is extremely professional but is also very caring. She plays such an important role in my son's life and I couldn't ask for more."

​

"Liv absolutely adores you and has so much fun every time she is with you. We always know how she's doing and really feel as if you care for her as one of your own. We have complete trust in you and could not think of a single thing to improve."

​

"Fantastic! My children love going to Jo."

​

"We were really nervous about being apart from Arlo but Jo has made the process to much easier and anxiety free. We can tell Arlo loves his time with Jo and really appreciate all the updates we have during the day."

​

"Truly wonderful! William loves Jo and the family and is very settled and content in her care. William is in a routine which carries through to the weekend. I am ease whilst I am at work knowing William is being well looked after and cared for in a manner which I would also adopt."

 

"Care afforded to Anais is more than any mum could ask for, I am more than happy dropping Anais knowing she is going to be well cared for, exposed to various activities, undertaking child friendly excursions and above all else is in an environment where she can flourish."

"George is always delighted to spend time with his childminder and he has thrived since being in her care. George has acquired many skills in all areas of his development whilst being cared for in a stimulating, secure and nurturing environment. I cannot praise highly enough the quality of care provided by Jo."

 

"Jo provides an exceptionally high standard of childminding. Dylan and Rhys absolutely love being looked after by Jo - she is amazing with children and I feel so reassured leaving the boys with someone I totally trust and who gives the boys such a good time with lots of activities, trips, arts and crafts etc. Jo keeps me fully updated with what the boys have been up to every day which is lovely to read."

"The service provided by Jo is outstanding. She does over and above what I thought a childminder does. My boys LOVE going there to play. I always have a detailed report of what they have done. Would highly recommend."

​

"Excellent home from home environment. Both children very happy and content in Jo's care, grateful for her support as both parents 'trying' to work!"
