My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Jenny and I've been a registered childminder for 19 years and I absolutely love working with children. Having four of my own simply isn't enough !
My 2 daughters and I live in a three bedroom mid-terrace house with a large garden housing lots of outdoor toys.
I take pride in offering the best care and educational development for all children. I try to work closely with all parents to meet childrens individual needs effectively.
All children have acess to a wide range of activities and resourses to support their learning. I allow children to make their own choices and try and promote independance where necessary.
The children are involved in making house rules with me so they are aware that there are boundries but at the same time they feel included in decision making.
I include the children in the local community by visiting local parks, playgroups, libraries, soft play ect. I also take the children on days out, I encourage them to experience different surroundings and alternative learning experiences.
My home is warm and always welcoming to all.
I strive to have excellent working relationships with all my families.
Happy to provide more references from my current families on request.

I actually do not know where to start in saying how thankful we are for Jenny. She looked after my daughter from the ages of 2 until 6 years old, including the covid period.
Jenny is truly wonderful. She is so caring and nurturing.
We found Jenny by chance or possibly fate after my original child care plans fell through and luckily had the times we needed available. She was the first childminder we visited and I knew on that day Jenny was the one for us. She welcomed my daughter with open arms and cared for her so wonderfully. When covid hit and Jenny had to close she made sure to stay in touch and send out ideas and activities for us to try at home (she even bought and gave us and the other children she looked after a caterpillar to butterfly kit from insect lore). When able to reopen she did asap and with clear covid regulations and support.
Jenny has been with us through some very tough family times where she has not only cared for and supported our daughter but has offered support and advise for myself.
I can not praise or thank Jenny enough for all she has done for us. I hope she will always be in our lives in one way or another.
My daughter is doing very well at school and I think this has so much to do with the start to education she received in the lovely, home environment Jenny gave her.
Thank you for being our heaven sent star Jenny!

Thank you so much for all your kind words Dawn xx
Jenny was an absolutely amazing childminder for our daughter from the ages of 1 to 3. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, caring, and stimulating environment that made my daughter feel completely at home.
She always went the extra mile to plan fun and engaging activities, from creative arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and exciting days out. I’ll never know how she does it all. It was clear that she truly cares about the children’s development, making learning fun and helping them grow in confidence. One of the things we appreciated most was how well she prepared our daughter for nursery. She helped her develop important social skills, encouraged independence, and introduced structured learning in a way that felt natural and enjoyable. By the time she started nursery, she was more than ready, and we have Jenny to thank for that. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and feel so lucky to have had her. My daughter left in August last year but still talks about Jenny all the time. It’s clear that Jenny puts her heart and soul into what she does and any child in her care is in the best hands!

Where do I start? Firstly, I don’t want to big Jenny up too much because I want her all to myself for my children!! She is just brilliant. She 100% promotes independence regardless of how much work it adds to her day which is why my kids are absolutely thriving with her. She treats this job as a passion and I can tell that she eats, lives and breathes it. She’s always thinking of new ways to engage her kids, keep them active and occupied and she loves them like her own. Currently she minds my middle child, does drop off for my eldest and will get my youngest after my maternity leave. I have no qualms about returning to work because I know my baby girl is in the best hands. I’d 100% recommend Jenny if it wasn’t for the fact I don’t want anyone else to have her!

Jenny started caring for our daughter after we had a horrible experience with a previous child minder. When we first met her, we found her to be very bubbly and engaging. Our daughter settled in and was very at home with her.
Jenny turned out to be exactly what we needed. Our daughter was very happy and they have an awesome relationship! The activities she plans and allows the children to engage in are age appropriate and most importantly, they allow the children to have fun while learning.
When we had our son, we sent him to Jenny and we always had peace of mind that he was also happy and well taken care of.
We moved a few months ago and my daughter has the toughest time away from her. She still demands that we take her to see her "Jen Jen". Adults can pretend to like others 😆 but children are brutally honest, and I am grateful that my daughter still loves and misses her.
I would recommend her services to anyone!
