Hello families,
I’m Miss Janine. I am a creative, lover of nature, investigator of random facts, a Disney enthusiast and a mummy myself who loves to inspire and share.
I have been working with little ones, their families and in education for 9+years. Discovering ways to combine entertainment and learning to support little ones is a huge passion of mine.
My journey to childcare started while I was a performer and began working with the Yip Harburg foundation performing in schools for pupils in New York. This created an opportunity for me to become a teaching artist and share my passion for performing arts with students. I began to transition to early years and gained experience working with the Montessori method where I combined my background in music to create interesting and original approaches to compliment education. I included this while babysitting for families and leading group sessions for mummy and baby classes which guided me to my own venture to open up my home for little ones and serve as many families as I can.
My philosophy is to support little ones in their development by allowing them to lead during open play and observe their interests to provide unique learning moments in an encouraging and safe environment.
What Families Are Saying:
“We are so fortunate to have met Janine and have her look after our son for 18 months. We were initially scared of leaving our first child, but we instantly knew Janine’s caring and compassionate personality was the perfect match for us. In addition to the fun and freedom she provided during childminding sessions, she also encouraged our son to express himself, learn, and develop new skills through play. As a result, our son loved his time with Janine and has become a well-rounded and confident toddler (who still practices Janine’s music and yoga!). She not only modelled to our son kindness and patience, but she also taught us a great deal, impacting our own parenting in a really positive and meaningful way. We could go on and on about Janine’s clear passion and drive regarding child-led development. Any family that works with her will be incredibly lucky.”
