My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Jenny and I've been a registered childminder for 18 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 indepence 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 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.
My Experience
I have 21 years experience with children.Prior to becoming a childminder, I have worked in home care, children with learning difficulties, mental health ward in St Marks hospital, wexham park hospital, Burnham Lodge nursing home and undergone the first year as a trainee nurse which I gave up when I became a mum.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Jenny. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
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!
