My Summary
About Me
Hello,
I am an ofsted registered childminder based in Cheswick village, Stoke Gifford.
My business is called Little Angels Childminding.
I have a secure ‘home from home’ environment for children and understand the importance of forming a secure attachment with the key people in their lives.
I love working with children of all ages as I find it both enjoyable and rewarding work. I love the way children carry out every activity with bundles of enthusiasm and energy.
I welcome all children and their families and try to accommodate all needs and preferences where possible.
I am able to offer a safe and secure environment that is happy and stimulating for children of all ages.
Your child will enjoy lots of different activities such as messy play, play dough, painting, arts and crafts, water play and free play in the playroom which opens out onto a clean garden.
I also love being out and about so will be attending toddler groups, trips to the park, walks in the woods and day trips to local farms, the wild place and anywhere that involves fun and activity.
I have two daughters of my own, one who is now 25 and lives with her partner in Bath and my other daughter who is 12 I live in a 4 bed town house and the ground floor is being used solely for childminding.
My Experience
I have previously worked in a nursery for 3 years and as a private Nanny for various families. I have also worked as a healthcare assistant on a maternity ward for premature babies and babies being born onto the at risk register.
I have spent 8 years working in a mental health hospital with one of those years being spent on a children’s secure mental health unit.
I now have my own childminding business based in Cheswick village, Stoke Gifford.
My Qualifications
I hold a NVQ level 2 in Childcare and Early Education as well as an NVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care. I have also completed the OFSTED approved for Childminding Course and hold a valid Paediatric First Aid Certificate. Additional training on safeguarding has also been completed.

It was hard to hand over our daughter after Maternity leave ended, but Jennie made the transition so easy. My daughter absolutely adores her and Jennie adores her back. Her days are filled with fun, adventure and educational activities, and she comes home every day with a big smile on her face. I leave my daughter with Jennie so easily now, knowing that she’s in the best care, with someone who genuinely cares about her. I whole heartily recommend Jennie and Little Angels childminding services.

We are so lucky to have Jennie as our childminder. From day one she took all of our daughters needs into account, including thinking through creative and gentle ways to get her to nap without us, and also catering for her cow's milk allergy. Our daughter settled in with Jennie much quicker than I expected, and I still can't believe to this day that Jennie can get her to sleep happily in a cot without us or milk... She has superpowers as we still can't manage this! Our daughter talks about Jennie and the other children now when she's home and when we tell her she's going she has a big smile and gets all excited. We feel secure and relaxed knowing she's in a safe, loving and fun environment. We would recommend Jennie to anyone.

Jennie is such a great childminder, we have been very lucky. In my home country we don't give babies to childcare so soon as maternity leave is for 3 years, so for me as a mum it was very stressful to give my baby away to someone else. Jennie made that transition easy for us and our son absolutely loves going there. She is very warm and attentative to babies, has super nice home environment and I know that my son is always safe and happy when at hers.

I’m so happy we found Jennie to help look after our son. When I first went back to work he really struggled to be away from me and it was quite a challenge getting him to settle into the childcare setting. I really felt like Jennie cared and didn’t want him to be distressed so worked with me to make him feel at home and it didn’t take long before he settled in and now he absolutely loves it! He happily goes in with no tears every time I drop him off, loves to get a cuddle from jennie and is happy to wave me bye!
Jennie does lovely activities with the children in her care and I love when he comes home with crafts or artwork or has had a fun day out. I would recommend Jennie to anyone and can’t thank her enough for how caring and attentive she is to our son.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her two days with Jennie each week. She always has a big smile on her face when she answers the door and I receive regular updates throughout the day about the fun activities they get up to.
Starting at only 6 months I was a bit nervous of leaving her in someone else’s care, but Jennie has such a warm and gentle nature, my daughter settled right in.
She provides a daily diary which is a great way of knowing what your little one has been up to, when they’ve napped and what they’ve had to eat. We’ve also received some lovely little keepsakes which our daughter has made for occasions such as Christmas and even Mother’s Day.
I can’t recommend Jennie enough - she is such a lovely and kind hearted lady who really cares about the children she looks after.
