About Me
Welcome to Jenny's Childminding! We are dedicated to providing a nurturing, home-from-home environment for your child in our spacious and inviting setting in Hook. Our approach blends structured activities, high-quality teaching, and plenty of time for free play, all tailored to your child's needs.
I’m Jenny, a qualified primary school teacher with experience teaching children from Reception to Year 6. As a proud mother of four aged 12, 7, 5, and 3 I truly understand both the joys and challenges of raising children. I work alongside my husband, Sean, who is also a qualified childminder, as well as our experienced assistant, who is trained in paediatric first aid. Together, we are committed to providing your child with the best care and attention in a warm, supportive environment.
Our setting is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk of the local Infant and Junior schools, Hook train station, and nearby parks and community centres, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy and stress-free.
We offer a bright, spacious area where your child can explore, learn, and grow. From our open-plan living room and kitchen, where we offer a wide variety of toys and activities, to a cozy nap area and a secure, enclosed garden with artificial grass and plenty of outdoor play equipment. Your child will have everything they need for safe, fun, and enriching experiences.
I believe in building a personal connection with each family, and I’m always available to stay in touch, keeping you updated on your child’s progress and experiences throughout the day.
Feel free to reach out for more details. We’d love to be part of your child’s learning journey!

Or 2 year old son Walt has been with Jenny and Sean for a couple of months and I have to say these guys are just beyond incredible.
We didn't have the most positive experience with a previous local childminder and it did make us question whether childminding was the right option anymore, then we met Jenny and Sean.
It is very apparent they both love what they do with so much thoughtfulness and creativity put into every single detail. Their efforts they go to when planning for the week to ensure the children are entertained, engaged and educated does not go unnoticed. Our sons development has shot up in the last two months and he can confidently count to 15 and his vocabulary has dramatically improved.
The setting is lovely, and drop off/parking not a problem at all.
The communication to parents is outstanding with a lovely roundup of each day which really goes above and beyond what we have ever experienced. Then there is the monthly newsletter which we have really enjoyed reading through!!
Words cannot do these guys justice and they work so hard to ensure the children have an amazing daily experience. The reassurance they give to the parents as well is invaluable.
We just wish we had found Jenny and Sean years ago as our eldest would have loved going there too!

We are incredibly pleased with the care and environment that Jenny and Sean provide for our daughter at their childminding setting. Every morning, she runs in confidently and happily, and it’s heartwarming to see her greeted so warmly by both Sean and Jenny. Since she attends full-time from Monday to Friday, it was crucial for us to find a place where she would be well cared for, have fun, and continue to develop—and we found that here.
Our daughter settled in very quickly, and even after a holiday or break, she is always excited to return. Jenny and Sean have created an environment that has greatly supported her confidence, routine, and overall wellbeing. It’s clear from drop-offs and pick-ups how well they know her—from her food preferences to her favourite ways to play and what makes her laugh. The strong relationship they’ve built with her gives us immense comfort, knowing she is in the best care and enjoying enriching experiences every day.
We greatly appreciate the structure and variety of the days, Jenny has created a service that introduces the children to new concepts through education and play. I have been very impressed with the themed weeks and the wide range of new activities the children get to experience!

We have been taking our daughter to Jenny’s for over three years. They have a homely environment where she is able to learn according to a structured curriculum, and is able to develop and express herself with imaginative play and practical learning. The setting is kept very clean as you want your own home to be, and any child illnesses are minimised as much as possible. We have built up a rapport with both Jenny and Sean over the years, and we feel that our daughter has been in good hands with her wellbeing, enjoyment, and preparation for school.

My daughter and son have both spent a year (separately) at Jenny’s Childminding. Each of them, with very different personalities, thrived in her environment and developed so much during their time there. I am so grateful to Jenny and Sean and the impact their wonderful care has had on our children. We will all remember our time with them very fondly and would recommend Jenny’s to anyone looking for a warm, friendly, nurturing yet professional environment to send their children to.

Since May 2023, our two children have been attending Jenny’s Childminding, and we couldn't be happier with their progress under Jenny's care. They both radiate happiness and enthusiasm, clearly thriving in her nurturing environment. The cosy, home-like atmosphere suits them perfectly; they eagerly anticipate each day and return home with smiles and exciting tales. Jenny's activities strike the ideal balance between fun and educational, perfectly tailored to their developmental stages. We greatly appreciate the daily updates and monthly newsletters, which keep us well-informed about their experiences. Knowing they're in such capable hands and having such a wonderful time brings us immense peace of mind. We're truly grateful to have found such an exceptional childcare setting.
