I'm a kind and affectionate childminder and will always strive to meet your childs individual needs. I have lovingly set up my home to be welcoming and comfortable with a baby/sleep room and a play room. I will be setting up appropriate activities and organising trips out to local places of interest, including bigger days out from time to time. I will provide healthy and delicious home cooked meals and nappies/wipes within my fee. My goal is for my setting to be a home from home for your little one.
I enjoy arts & crafts, baking and cooking
Working with children makes me feel caring, happy and inspired

“Little lions nursery is absolutely wonderful. JoJo (the childminder) has created a beautiful calm setting. She has two separate rooms one for baby sensory and sleeping and the other is like a toy shop! The rooms is full of all different toys and she changes the theme daily. My son absolutely loves Jo, she is working hard on his speech as requested by me and he has come on so much in a short space of time! She is very accommodating to my sons medical issues and keeps me updated on a regular basis how he is getting on. Food is always healthy and such a wide range of choice. I can’t think of anyone else I would trust with my son. I go to work feeling confident that he will be having the best day full of adventure, fun and giggles. He always comes home clean happy and tired ! What more could you ask for ? !!”
“Perfect setting for children! I was so overwhelmed when I met Joanne, such a lovely lady. Best childminder around.”
“Our little girl went to nursery for a briet time before finding Jojo and stephen. We wanted a more home from home environment and to have a bit more of a personal touch. We have just that and they are such kind lovely people. Plus they are parents themselves, SO they understand ! We are so thankful for how hard they work to keep our little girl happy and safe whilst we are working X”
“My son has 2 lovely time creative with Jo and stephen with all the and fun activities, he loves having his breakfast and lunch there as she always offers a variety of food and enjoys the little day trips the park, woods and library! Could not praise them enough! Thank you Jo and stephen for everything you do”
“Our son has found himself a home from home. It's not just that he really enjoys himself at yours. He learns and grows all the time. Seeing him interact with the other children and, of course, you guys, makes missing him during the day a little bit easier. He is always up to something and is really developing along the way, I would highly recommend your care and services to friends and family”
“Jo and Steve have had our daughter since she was 6 months and we have loved seeing how much progress she has made. she's the smiliest and happiest baby while with them and they take such love and care in their jobs. We feel like part of the family and we know our baby is in the best place possible while we work. They take her out regularly and she has experienced so many new things. 🥰”
“Wish i could write a thousand words!! what you both do is so amazing, and we love You both for it!”
“When our son was born we spent a great deal of time searching for a childminder so we could go back to work. We both work shifts so we needed someone who would be brilliant with our son but also who could be flexible. Jo is that person! As soon as we met her and Steven, we knew they were the ones! She and Steven have made our boy a part of their family like all the kids they look after. Amazing x”
