Both our kids have been with Jenny since just before they turned 6 months old. Almost 7 years later, it's hard to overstate how important she has been and still is in their upbringing. They love her like a mother and we see her and her family as members of our own family.

Jenny doesn't just mind children, she develops them. The activities she comes up with never cease to surprise us, from making paper dafodills for St David's Day to Diwali decorations and anything it between. We occasionally get treats our kids made or baked, and always get to hear stories about what they did today at Jenny's.

Jenny has been increadibly accommodating throughout the years. At the same time she always speaks her mind so you know very clearly what she thinks and that's been very helpful too. She supported us in setting boundries for our children and making sure they understand what good behaviour looks like.

In winter days it's always nice and cosey at Jenny's living room, but whenever the weather allows it the kids will be outside, at a park or other activities she comes up with. Her close relationship with other childminders in the area means your kids interact with other kids daily even before they start school.

I genuinely can't imagine these past few years without Jenny, she's one of a kind and anyone lucky enough to fit into her schedule will surely feel the same.
