SOUTH WEST FRANCHISEE OF THE YEAR

Claire Jones has been awarded the title 'South West Franchisee of the year' at this years Jo Jingles national franchise business conference.

Claire received her award in recognition for providing and managing a high quality service and promoting Jo Jingles though local press, TV and her involvement in the Children in Need Campaign. Gill Thomas Managing Director of Jo Jingles said, "We are thrilled with how Claire continues to develop her business - she is a great advocate of the benefits of music for young children and an effective ambassador for Jo Jingles in the Plymouth area."

Claire says, "I'm thrilled to receive this recognition for my work, and am grateful to the families who have shared this wonderful journey with me. Whilst I am grateful for this award what is equally important to me are the comments (read one below) I receive from people who have experienced our classes and sessions".

Read what one of our parents said about our classes

My son Thomas has been going to Jo Jingles classes in Ivybridge since he was seven months old and thoroughly enjoys the sessions. He is rapidly approaching his third birthday and still as enthusiastic.

Claire makes the sessions fun for the children and they love Jo's box - can they guess what is making the noise?

We bought my son a 'little Jo' and he goes everywhere with us. If we ask him what he'd like to do for the day he invariably says 'Jo Jingles'.

Thanks must go to Claire and Jo Jingles for providing such a stimulating activity.

And here is a lovely message from one of our mums who has emigrated

It's been ages but here we are finally settled in the north of Australia where it is very hot and humid. Jack is dancing around to Jo Jingles so I thought it a good time to finally email you with the photos I promised. They were taken in December, I can not believe it has been 3 months already. We are finding it challenging settling down in Darwin - there's NO Jo!!! or music classes so the DVD comes out quite often, Jack says "Jo Jingle" now, he has all his instruments and still dances and plays to the songs. Unfortunately it makes me cry every time, we both dance madly around to Wind the Bobbin Up and I usually collapse on the living room floor in tears. I miss the UK and my dear friends so very much!!

I was wondering if I could get another DVD before I close the UK bank account. If you could give me a price for a good DVD with P&P to Darwin, Australia and I could send either a cheque or transfer the money to you.

Give my love to the group and I hope you enjoy the photos - some are lovely

Best wishes

Jodie and Jack Williams

A BIT ABOUT ME AND JO JINGLES!

I am a mum to three children, two boys and a girl, together with Boris; our Weimaraner!  Following a career break, I embarked on a new career in Early Years Care & Education attaining an NVQ qualification. After 2 years working at a pre-school, I spent 3 years at a primary school as a Teaching Assistant, supporting special needs children in addition to working with children from year 1 to year 6.

I have a passion for the care & development of pre-school children, and believe each child should have the opportunity to develop from an early age.  Jo Jingles provides this opportunity, through a structured approach to music and movement.

The five years I enjoyed in pre-school and primary education confirmed my desire to progress this provision.
