In September 2006 I realised my dream and built a new nursery in Thorpe-le-Soken, using my ten years experience as a children's private nanny to provide a first class provision. In December 2003 my husband and I took the decision to open our own children's nursery. Some 2 years later we finally received planning permission and on the day after Boxing day 2005 my husband, father and brother started to dig the foundations.

 

9 Months later our first nursery was born and on 6th September 2006 Nanny Jo's opened the doors to children for the first time. After a successful first year with occupancy rising steadily we achieved an OUTSTANDING in all areas at our first Ofsted inspection. Since these early days Nanny Jo's has continued to grow and develop as a first class nursery, allowing many unique opportunities for the children attending. These include spacious air conditioned rooms, an all weather playground, a large vegetable patch, the bark activity area, our own mini farm and new for 2011/12 the Nature Nursery which builds on the idea of forestry schools and makes it accessible to young children, giving them an early  appreciation of nature and the environment. This continuing development and desire to provide the best care and environment for children to thrive lead to our second Ofsted OUTSTANDING in May 2010.
