The childcare centre had asked parents to supply linen and a drawstring bag for their children, and Sherryn came to realise that there weren’t any reputable linen suppliers for the childcare sector. Thus, Jam Berry was born, striving to create the best childcare linen in the world – ethically and joyfully. Back in the early noughties, Sherryn Deetlefs owned a publishing business and worked part-time which allowed her the flexibility to enjoy time with her children, saying, “I knew this time with the girls was precious and passing quickly.” With regard to their childcare centre asking parents to supply linen and a drawstring bag, she comments, “It was all very specific, so I set about sewing something super cute from left over materials.” Jam Berry was initially created with fellow parents in mind, however, by 2007, it was receiving large orders from childcare centres around Australia, manufacturing products such as 100% cotton sheets, drawstring bags, super soft polar fleece blankets, and pillows for little heads. Fast forward 14 years and it is excited to be supplying all the big kahuna childcare groups, Capital Hill Early Childhood Centre at Parliament House, private schools, independent centres, family day care, and occasional care – selling thousands of sheets each year. Sherryn says, “We love speaking and emailing with directors across Australia every day. Each centre has a story. We have commiserated with centres that have experienced loss and grief, and yahooed with centres growing and renovating.” All of Jam Berry’s products are designed inhouse, working closely with suppliers in China to manufacture some of them. Sherryn even took a trip to China to visit suppliers in 2006 to strengthen the working relationship and to check on the working conditions of employees. She says, “We were very pleased to meet very happy people working in a very relaxed environment, with many facilities for employees provided by our supplier.” As a result, Jam Berry’s customers are left delighted with their products every time, with one stating, “I cannot recommend the fleece sheets highly enough. They are perfect! So soft and warm, perfect for winter and bub loves sleeping on them. Wonderful colours and excellent quality. Customer service was very friendly and prompt shipping.” Another customer says, “Beautiful product to use in early childhood services. We charge an enrolment fee which covers each child’s linen, and Sherryn has been amazing to deal with over the last few years, customising an order form to meet our needs. So easy; we just include it in our enrolment pack.” A third customer shares, “I have never had such a surprise; the postie just came to my front door with this huge box of your beautiful products. Thank you so much!!! You have fabulous customer service and I can't wait to spread the word of your amazing business. You are truly one of a kind and I can't thank you enough.” Company: Jam Berry Contact: Sherryn Deetlefs Website: jamberry.com.au
