Fantastic childminder near Plumstead Common!
Jenny has gone above and beyond for our son for the past year and a half. We came to her after being rejected from a local nursery because our son found it so difficult to settle there. She warmly welcomed him into her setting and worked hard to help him feel at home.
She is reliable and flexible. We get updates and pictures sent to us during the day which is always a highlight. She is great when it comes to naps and follows the same schedule as we do at home.
The setting is lovely, the house is full of toys and there is a large garden where they spend a lot of time in the warmer months.
Every day they take advantage of local play groups and other activitives, so our son gets to experience bigger settings and playing with other children. They also go on adventures to the local woods, parks and playgrounds.
They work on different skills depending on the age. For example this week they are working on 'in front, behind and to the side'. And we notice he knows words and phrases that we haven't taught him. We are really happy with how our sons speech is developing, this was a really big worry as he is bilingual.
They also work on manners and they eat all meals at the table, which was very important to us. Jenny also helped us with early potty training.
It feels like Jenny is part of our extended family, our boy often talks about her 3 children and the other children in the setting.
I would highly recommend Jenny if you are looking for a childminder for your little one :)
