About Me
*VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY*
I offer a home from home environment in our large and spacious setting in Hook. I provide a mixture of scheduled activities with high quality teaching and free play.
I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience from Year R up to Year 6 and have first hand experience from birth with my own four children aged 12, 6, 4 and 2 Years Old. I work with an assistant who is paediatric first aid trained.
Our setting is within a 5 minute walk of the local Infant and Junior schools, 5 minute walk to Hook train station and 5 minutes to local parks and community centres.
I provide a large open area from the living room to the kitchen with lots of toys and activities available. A sleeping area for naps and a safe and enclosed garden with artificial grass and plenty of outdoor activities and equipment for safe and fun learning.
I also provide a very personal approach to home communication and make it easy for parents to stay in touch.

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.
If you're looking a nurturing and engaging childcare setting in Hook, then get in touch with Jenny at Jenny’s Childminding. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed into a space where children thrive and grow under the attentive care of Jenny and her team.
Firstly, let's talk about Jenny's monthly newsletter – it's nothing short of brilliant! Every month, parents receive a delightful update on what their children have been up to, complete with heartwarming anecdotes, photos capturing precious moments, as well as insights into the exciting activities and learning experiences the children have been immersed in. It's clear that Jenny not only values communication with us parents but also understands the importance of keeping us informed and involved in their child's developmental journey.
Now, onto Jenny's Journals – what a fantastic way to keep us updated! These electronic journals provide a beautiful glimpse into the daily adventures of the children that we recieve at the end of the day via our own Whatsapp group chat. My husband loves these and says its his favourite part of his train journey home, which allows him to read and see before arriving home. From messy art sessions to outdoor explorations, each entry is filled with warmth and enthusiasm, showcasing the dedication and passion Jenny and her team have for fostering a stimulating and supportive environment for every child in her care. We love the fact that she has created a well thought out curriculum for the year using her teaching background which is also tailored for the age of each child. We’ve seen first hand our little one grow and devleop so much from the age of 1 to 2 from being quiet and shy to a now energetic little social butterfly thanks to Jenny’s daily encouragement.
What sets Jenny apart is her personalised attention and genuine love poured into every aspect of the childs experience. Whether it's fostering creativity through arts and crafts, encouraging exploration in nature, or simply providing a safe and nurturing space for play, Jenny and her team go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. We’d also like to say how nice it is that Jenny’s husband Sean works with her! We love his enthusiasm, laughter and the passion for fun that he brings to the setting. It is so nice to know that they have a really caring home from home setting.
Jenny is a wonderful childminder who was with our daughter from about 6 - 16 months. We only stopped using her due to a new job location otherwise she would still be there. Her home is very warm, welcoming and clean. She plans activities for the kids daily, send photos on each child's own whatsapp group for their parents and sends them home with a book each day on their activities which is so sweet we will keep ours for her to read when she is older. Was a bit nervous sending our little one so early to childcare but felt very comfortable with Jenny. Highly recommend!
Jenny’s setting has been absolutely great for our daughter, who started when she had just turned 1 and has been there a year. Jenny is so professional when it comes to how she runs her business yet the setting feels very homely and she is so open and friendly to talk to. Our daughter would chat about Jenny and her family all the time when she wasn’t there! Jenny is a very experienced Mum as well as professional childminder and I really valued her opinion when it came to my daughter’s development and health too. There is nothing we would change about the service she has provided - just the perfect childminder and we can’t recommend her enough.
Jenny was the first childminder that my wife and I had used, as he had previously been to nursery before lockdown. We were naturally concerned about how he would settle into new surroundings and whether Jenny was the right person for our son and us.
Any concerns that we had were quickly set to one side, Jenny provided a lovely, caring and fun environment for our son and we couldn't have been happier. She provided a good structure to his learning and development and encouraged him with new activities and play each day. The highest compliment that I can give is that our son would quite happily shut the door on me as I dropped him off and then would run inside.
Jenny's communication was always good and we regularly would receive photos of our son playing in the garden or undertaking activities.
We would recommend anyone to Jenny and hope in time to use Jenny again when our son is attending school for wrap around care.
