We care for all our children and want them to have the best time whilst with us. We like to have fun in the kitchen area, encouraging children to make their own healthy snacks. We offer lots of super fun activities to meet the children's needs and interests. At both settings we have a great outside area, that you will find us always exploring. We also like to take the inside out, and the outside in.

Hi I'm Jo. I joined safe hands in January 2022 as a play worker. I'am a trained hairdresser but have worked with children for the last 6 years, after becoming a mum. I've been lucky to have been a poolside assistant for a swimming school, to working in a local nursery. I've also worked as a teaching assistant at an Autistic school, which I loved.
I enjoy hearing all of the children's stories and discovering where their imagination will take them each day.
