We had our daughter in Jenny's care for about two years since she was 1 year and 4 months old until recently and since day 1 we have appreciated Jenny's style in working with children that made us believe it was the best choice we could have made.

Jenny's approach was gentle and ensuring our daughter felt comfortable with her presence, always followed our daughter's pace and taken into consideration her feelings. Jenny has a natural intuition in sensing children and makes sure they are comfortable with her presence and makes them feel secure, like home. She approaches them with ease and follows their lead.

Jenny is extremely focuses on children development, our daughter was especially shy when she first joined but now with Jenny's help she developed in a bubbly young girl which she is not afraid to have conversations with new people and share few words.

Jenny is also focused on ensuring that children are always learning new things and she improves her home with environment with age appropriate toys/activities that help children grow/develop and learn new skills. She is appreciative of cultural differences and embraces other traditions; she helps our daughter learn about traditions that take place during the year with age appropriate activities, ie celebrate Mother's Day, Christmas etc. Her setting/house is also like a toy store, she has so many things to offer and help children develop, especially I love her art and crafts collections; dressing ups and so many more. Outdoor space it's like a story, all full of children toys and summer time is a bliss for children.

Jenny also organises activities for her children outside home and she makes sure they have outdoor activities as well; she has regular play groups / soft play she takes the children to, also play dates with other childminders or parks; moreover when is possible she organises day trips for longer distance to strengthen the bonding with the children and enhance their development, ie Zoo's, out of area parks etc; movies, theater etc.

Collaboration with Jenny has been extremely easy, she is adaptable and flexes her tools to help parents ensure are up to date with children activities/development. Baby days is the tools she uses but also the journal / folder that she ensures is always up to date and shares regularly with us when new observations are added. What I also appreciate is that in order for our daughter to strengthen her learning in one area she shares books/toys with us home so we can continue her learning home as well.

There are many things that I can mention that Jenny helped us with, like teaching our daughter about safety on the road, in the car, toilet training, personal hygiene, eating healthy (she eats lots of fruits now), and many more.

Last but not least, if you work with Jenny you will see she does this as she loves children and it's her passion, she never had more than three kids at a time and that is because she knows she needs to give special attention to each to ensure they all feel loved and grow to the best of their abilities.

I could not be more happy and grateful for all the care Jenny has shown, her help was invaluable and seeing our daughter ask every morning to go to Jenny is what proofs she is a wonderful, caring and loving childminder. Her family is also great and our daughter loves them dearly, asking about them as well/talking about when we are home.
