Jo is such an amazing childminder to my little boy. She creates a warm and nurturing environment that puts my baby at ease with her. My son is always happy to go to her and has positive experiences playing and learning with her kids too.
I have no concerns entrusting my child in her care.

Jo is amazing with our 2 year old girl. Our little one has so much fun she doesn’t want to leave. Jo has all the toys and activities possible and keeps her busy.
Jo is also really quick at replying and has taken our little girl on at short notice which has been so helpful!
We will keep going to Jo as long as she’ll have us!

Jo is been really warm, friendly and trustable from the moment I contacted her. Little Addington Palace is full of joy and fun with a play area to explore.
