Jennyjenjen's Reviews

Outstanding childminder

I work as a headteacher and needed long hours for my son who I wanted to have a home from home experience. Jen was absolutely perfect she quickly built a wonderful relationship with my son and I could not fault the care she provided. My son is a very fussy eater and Jen not only adapted his meals but also managed to get him to try some new foods. My son's days were filled with a variety of experience and he always came home excited to tell me what he had been doing. My only regret is not finding Jen earlier, I can not recommend her enough.

The most amazing childminder

I spent a long time trying to find someone who we clicked with and understood what we needed and Jen was perfect.
E spent her time with Jen and the girls who she grew close to in a short space of time. Jen is a great childminder, able to really dedicate her time to the children in her care and focuses on communication, key skills, independence and ensuring the children feel supported and welcome.
Jen’s house was spotless, having all the educational toys and bits and pieces children are excited to use.
Her prices are also super competitive with alternatives available in the area.

We only moved E as Jen wasn’t able to mind for a short period but definitely would have kept her at Jen’s until school.
If we still lived near my little boy would also be going!

The Mary poppins of west wickham!

My children recently started with Jenny and I honestly could not be happier with how they have settled in and how Jenny has welcomed them into her home. They run in on arrival and are full of smiles and stories to tell me when I pick them up. Finding a childminder was a daunting task for me as I have never left my children before but a great weight has been lifted having found Jenny and knowing I am leaving them in safe hands. Jenny has a natural ability with children and even in a short period my children have built up a bond with her and look forward to going to Jen jens. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Wonderful childminder

Jenny has looked after Hector since he was 1, he's now 2 1/2. She is an absolutely amazing childminder, a lovely person. We feel so lucky to have found her and that she had space for us. Hector LOVES her and now trots up to her door without a backward glance. I felt so confident leaving him from day 1. Her day is structured and fun! She's creative, sensitive to each child's needs, and is firm but fair :))). She's taught us a lot about parenting and always has time to chat about the smallest things that happened in Hector's day. I know she's got a soft spot for him and the feelings mutual!

A godsend

I was so so lucky to find Jenny in August 2013 to look after my full of life little
Three year old boy. She and her family welcomed J with lots of love and accommodated all of his needs to help him fit in and feel reassured.
I felt relieved, having met several other childminders Jenny was someone whom I knew straight away would be perfect for J. Jenny is a very loving, thoughtful, genuine and affectionate person. She is structured, offers routine, various activities and always gives honest & helpful feedback. Jenny plans her time with the children to ensure they get to do all sorts of activities; painting, cooking, dressing up... Her approach is holistic and most importantly flexible. It's been four months since we've moved and J regularly asks about her and her two lovely daughters- hopefully we'll be seeing them soon.
I couldn't have had a better person look after my son, being a social worker by profession I couldn't help but have high expectations, Jenny always never failed to meet them. Sindia & Jahaan

Topnotch childcare

Searching for a childminder was such an emotional rollercoaster but within a few days of starting with Jenny we knew we had made the right decision. She was very attentive with our little one and did everything and more to make her feel secure and happy. Jenny's home was full of exciting toys and her own children were welcoming, kind and loving. Our little one formed a very close bond with Jenny and her family, who are all very caring and wonderful people.

Our older daughter is a strong character but Jenny was never defeated and always found ways to entertain, engage and reward her.

Jenny also accommodated for my strong opinions about healthy eating and tv watching! She wrote and prepared a weekly menu of home cooked nutritious meals and encouraged my older daughter to get involved in cooking with her.
I could go on and on with positive things to say but the most important thing for me was that our daughters were ALWAYS happy to be dropped off with Jenny and ALWAYS happy when we picked them up.

It was so unfortunate for us that Jenny and her family moved house, too far away for us to continue with her childcare. But who can blame them, they now have an even more wonderful home with a lovely designated playroom and big garden.

Thankyou Jenny.

Highly recommended

Jenny has been looking after my two year old little boy for four months now and I couldn't ask for a better childminder.

I especially like how her activities for the children encourage development such as cooking, singing, using phonics, story telling and pretend play.

She is also a good cook and I am always assured that he is eating nutritional homemade food.

Libby the cat is a favourite and very good around active excited children.

Thank you for taking such good care of Thomas

Our very own Mary Poppins

There is a scene in Mary Poppins, where the children write their own requirements for a nanny and I would have to say that Jenny was practically perfect. She worked with us for over a year and was the best of friends with my daughters. Extremely well organized, she managed my eldest daughter's school day from start to finish from the mad hair brushing in the morning to the tidy up time after tea and homework in the evemings. The holidays were filled with trips to the park, local museums, swimming, cinema, baking, painting and all manner of creative things. My daughter really improved in all her subjects thanks to her learning support especially her reading.

For us, she became an essential conduit with the school, retrieving lost hats and gum shields. This year she also took on looking after our second daughter as well and was still as fantastic with both kids

Firm but fair,never late, ultra reliable and great fun - if the circumstances were different we would have her back in a heart beat and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Both you and your kids will love her.
