Jennyhay's Reviews

A wonderful childminder!

Jenny has been a wonderful, caring and consistent childminder for my boys since 2016. She provides a loving, nurturing home environment and has taught them both many skills. Both my boys adore Jenny and her family and I feel so lucky to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who is kind and nurturing, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic Childminder

Jenny has looked after both of our children and we have always felt comfortable that they were in a lovely, friendly and safe environment.

Jenny is organised and works had to ensure the children have plenty of opportunities to play and learn in a variety of different environments. She always sends lots of photos so parents can see what their children have been doing and makes each child feel special.

Having Jenny as a childminder was more like having a family member look after our children. Having previously used a nursery setting before we found Jenny, I found that the children were much happier being with Jenny and she is great with all ages.

Absolutely fantastic and caring childminder

Jenny has been looking after our son for nearly four years, since he was one. She provides a caring, fun, educational, home atmosphere which we couldn’t be happier with. He loves attending her setting and has a really good relationship with her, as well as with all the other children and members of the household. It really does feel like an extended family atmosphere.

Activities:
Jenny arranges a wide variety of activities for the children, providing fun and educational opportunities, both indoors and outdoors. She does activities with the children covering a range of themes for different seasons and events. In her setting, he has enjoyed crafts, baking, games, learning about nature, stories, songs and actions, amongst lots more.

Learning:
Jenny finds ingenious ways to make learning fun. She ensures that the children use good manners e.g. please/thank you, asking to get down from the table etc. She has done lots of work with my little boy on his speech, counting, letters and writing. She teaches good interpersonal skills with other children e.g. sharing, taking turns when playing games and helping each other. She has provided lots of support as he has grown, e.g. with potty training, starting nursery, starting reception.

Communication and support:
Jenny is very approachable and strives to ensure consistency between her setting and home. This really helped when potty training, for example. She provides me with daily updates on what my little boy has been doing in her setting, including photos and notes, which is lovely and really helpful.

I would highly recommend Jenny as a caring, nurturing and fun childminder.
