My Summary
About Me
I live in Weeke/Harestock area and am married with 3 children, ranging from 10-15
I enjoy spending time with my family and keeping active!
I believe that children learn when they are in a safe and caring environment where they are stimulated through play. I thoroughly enjoy childminding and being both in the home setting and out and about with the children ensuring the children have lots of fun!
My Experience
I have been childminding for over 9 years now and have gained another Oustanding grade from Ofsted. I am also a member of PACEY Childminding professional body, which gives me access to support and advice from the local co-ordinator.
I have the experience Parenting brings with three young children and I am currently working with children between 1 and 11 years old.
I provide a warm, friendly and safe family environment. Children receive consistent one-to-one attention whilst enjoying interaction with others. I also provide continuity of care providing care or children from 3 months to 16 years old.
My husband and I have ran the youth group at church, which we really enjoyed, I help out with the crèche group on Sunday mornings and have been running a toddler group too.
My Qualifications
I have completed a Level 3 Diploma in Home Based Childcare. I have a paediatric first aid qualification and am CRB checked.
I have participated in courses learning Makaton, which I use daily with the younger children. I also went on a course about Schema's, learning how children individually learn and develop. I have also taken the Initial Child Protection course, advanced Child Protection and Food Hygiene level 2.
Previously to having children I worked at a local hospital and have a BSc (hons) Applied Physiology and Pharmacology.
My Availability
I collect from Harestock school and local playgroups/pre-schools.
I currently have availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays for a 3/4 year old.

Jenny looked after our little boy from when I went back to work when he was one until almost his third birthday during which time we also had another little boy. He learned to walk and talk and be a big brother whilst at Jenny’s. During such an important time in his life, and through so many changes, she has been a wonderful constant. He loves going to see Jenny and the other children and sees it as a home from home. It’s a safe, lovely environment with lots and lots of fun! They go on exciting trips a few times a week but the set up at home is also great, with a dedicated play room (and loo - which was amazing for his potty training) as well as a big garden to play in. Jenny was so helpful and went above and beyond to help us out when we needed help. He absolutely loved it there and we are all very sad that’s time to move on. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Jenny has looked after or two children since they were 10 months old. Jenny’s childcare has been excellent for our family. She provides a warm, supportive, safe and stimulating environment. Jenny arranges a brilliant range of activities for the children which has massively helped our two develop their skills. Jenny’s communication and support and advice to us as parents has been really helpful too and we get lots of updates on our children. We would highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for childcare.

Jenny looked after our son for more than two years from the age of two until four going on five. He went two days a week. In that time, we were delighted with the way he grew and developed in Jenny's care. Jenny provides a happy, stable and stimulating environment for children of any age. Our son enjoyed the very varied activities that Jenny organises, while appreciating the attention and support Jenny gives to each child. Trips to local playgrounds, groups and activity centres add frequent highlights to each week. Jenny's home is friendly, safe, very well organised and fully equipped for fun play and learning. Highly recommended.

Jenny has been caring for my nearly 5 year old since she was 6 months old. She also looks after my 9 year old after school. Jenny has a great rapport with all the children in her care and my children love spending time with her. She is approachable and flexible which is so helpful when things don’t quite go to plan!
Jenny kept a daily diary for my youngest whilst she was a baby to help keep in touch with developments and often answered the questions I forgot to ask at her pick up. Now Jenny maintains a learning journal, in line with the EYFS, and it is a useful and informative way to monitor my daughter’s progress.
Jenny clearly enjoys planning activities for the children and helping them try new things, supporting their development and growth. I am very glad to have found such a caring and capable childminder, I have no worries leaving my children in her care and I am only too happy to recommend her.
