I have taken part in some research as part of the Study of Early Education and Development (SEED) project around quality of care that childminders provide. You can view the report by following the link below:

Thank you once again for agreeing to take part in this study and help create this invaluable piece of research.

Her attitude to working with children is as a teaching professional, yet she enhances this with her fun and friendly personality, making time spent with her interesting, enjoyable and exciting through varied activities.

And here’s my recommendation for you:

Justine has been supportive, helpful and kind in providing outstanding childcare for Ruby and Charlie. This is the second time Justine has looked after the children; this time for 5 days a week. Building on from my previous reference (attached), Ruby and Charlie settled into Justine’s care quickly and with ease due to Justine taking extra time to understand how they had changed during their time away from her. She visited us one evening and reacquainted herself with us all so it felt very natural and easy when we dropped the kids off with her.

Justine is set apart from other childcare providers that we have used because she supports the children’s development. Charlie moved from seated toileting, where he wanted to remove underwear, to standing up and so became more confident at going to the bathroom on his own. We received a termly report for Charlie, charting his development achievements and goals and were impressed by the letter and number recognition that Justine had been working with him on.

Justine provided flexible childcare so that Ruby could continue to attend after school clubs and activities. Justine kept us informed of any changes or updates related to school, pre-school or clubs, for example, letting us know when the photographer was attending pre-school.

I thoroughly recommend Justine as a childminder. She provides a safe, secure and friendly environment where children have fun and thrive developmentally. Her attitude to working with children is as a teaching professional, yet she enhances this with her fun and friendly personality, making time spent with her interesting, enjoyable and exciting through varied activities.

Thank you Justine

Her professionalism and experience set her far apart from other child care providers

Justine is highly qualified as a childminder with a degree in Early Years Learning and two Outstanding Ofsted gradings, which are well deserved. She is professional in the way she runs her business with thorough yet fully accessible policies.

Justine restored our trust in good, honest and affordable childcare. Her professionalism and experience set her far apart from other child care providers we have used – I would absolutely recommend her as a great and reliable childminder.

Allergen Food Safety Legislation

Taken from The food Standards agency website

Food safety is very important for childcare because children are a vulnerable group.

This means children can be more seriously affected by food poisoning and food allergy than some other groups of people.

On the 13th December 2014 new EU legislation is coming into place that means all food businesses (including childminders) need to provide information about the allergenic ingredients in food.

I use a system called Babysdays for my childminding business  and I create a weekly menu that is changed over a two week rota.

This is available to parents of the children I care for along with an allergens poster and further information regarding food hygiene.

Justine’s organizational skills often blow me away as well as her patience and happy persona.

I have been fortunate enough to have Justine as my daughter’s child-minder for the past two years now. My daughter absolutely loves going to Justine’s everyday whilst I continue with my education. When My daughter sees Justine, her whole face lights up. This is reassuring for me to know that my child is left in a happy and safe environment with a trustworthy child-minder.
