Excellent Childminder

Jenny was able to offer us some support for 4 days of last minute childcare for our twin boys. For the short period of time the boys were there they had a wonderful time playing with the amazing range of resources Jenny has available. They really enjoyed their days there, especially Junk modelling and playing in the garden. Jenny is very accommodating of any specific needs and her communication and updates to us were excellent. Her childminding setting is very homely and she is very professional. Thank you Jenny! :)

Wonderful childminder

We feel so lucky to have found Jenny to look after our sons (year 5 and 2) after school. She is truly wonderful. The boys are so happy there. Her home and garden are incredible. There are lots of lovely toys, puzzles and junk modelling! Jenny is a true professional, so organised with documents and paperwork, and she sends the most lovely update each week on what the children have been doing. We feel so confident in the care they have from her. We could not recommend her highly enough!!

Thank you! It is a joy to have your boys in my company each week and I look forward to continuing to provide your family childcare in September.

Childcare after pre-school

Jenny is the most wonderful childminder and my son warmed to her straight away. I refer to Jenny as a "magical" as she encourages my son to eat things he would not have tried before. I believe this is down to her nature as she is so calm, engaged, present and kind with my son, and makes everything fun and stimulating. Jenny informs me of how my son has been with detailed messages and plenty of photos, which makes me so happy to see him having fun.

Jenny always greets us with a warm and bright smile and my son absolutely adores going to see her, her daughter and their family dog.

I would highly recommend Jenny and I feel so secure knowing my son is taken care of so well.

I love my work and hearing your thoughts on me and my childcare service just makes my smile even wider. Thank you. It is a pleasure to have your son with me several times a week as well as during the school holidays.

Amazing!!

Jenny currently looks after my daughter a day and a half a week. From the moment I messaged Jenny I knew she was the right person to care for my daughter. She was so professional and friendly.

My daughter settled in straight away and felt at ease being in Jenny’s lovely home. She looks forward to going to see her and her daughter every time.

Everyday my daughter comes home telling me about all the fun things she played and made. It’s so lovely to get all the pictures and creations she’s made with Jenny.

Communication is amazing. I get a weekly report from Jenny letting me know what my daughter has been up to and making, what she’s done that’s new, and any other information she thinks I might like to know. It’s always a highlight of my week.

I’m so pleased I found the perfect childminder for my daughter, I feel at ease leaving her there each time knowing she’ll have a great day and be so well cared for. Can’t recommend Jenny enough!

It is an absolutely delight to have your daughter here twice a week. It is lovely to see her forming friendships with the other children and she enjoys both imaginative play and structured activities :)

Excellent childminder

Jenny provided before and after school care for our two boys in our own home for almost three years and we couldn't have been happier with the care that she gave them, helping them both to transition successfully to secondary school as well as supporting them through a difficult time following a family bereavement. Jenny is extremely well-organised, and reliable and our boys quickly formed a strong bond with her. Her communication with us was always fantastic, filling us in on anything that she had dealt with or picked up on from the boys discreetly. Her manner is always professional and if the boys hadn't outgrown the need for pre and after school care we would have most definitely have wanted her to keep working with us!

It was a pleasure to look after the boys! Thank you for being such a welcoming family and your warmth towards my daughter, who was only 9 months when I started, has been much appreciated and she loves her bond with the boys. Both of them have taught her so much and their understanding and care towards her has been amazing! I am looking forward to when Covid-19 restrictions are over so it allows us to all meet up again!
