Her energy is contagious. It is amazing how involved she is with my son. Throughout his development, she has been a part of all of his milestones. Every detail of his progress is closely monitored by her. I am very satisfied with her care. I really appreciate her efforts in caring for my son. It is a pleasure to have you fill in the gaps we are unable to cover. She is really a person who can be relied on for childcare of your precious one!

The title says it all. Jenny looked after my daughter for the entire pre-school time and i have been extremely happy with her!
My daughter has developed so many essential early life skills at a speed me or the rest of my family anticipated. Absolutely superwoman! So much positive energy & commitment to the welfare & development of all her Children. Expect to be greeted with the same positive energy at the start of the day & the end.

We have been very lucky that we found Jenny and Gemma, our daughter’s first child minders. Naturally we were very worried about her , but Jenny has been extremely warm,welcoming,professional and caring that our daughter had no trouble adjusting and quickly became very attached to her. She loves going to Jenny and really enjoys her time there as there are always some fun activities planned every day. It has been almost five months and we have seen so much positive changes in her, thanks to Jenny she is fully potty trained and her eating habits have improved drastically as well.Also, Jenny has been very considerate in making sure to serve only Halal food for our daughter as this was our preference.We are very happy with the experience and definitely recommend Jenny.

Our boy has been going to Jenny’s for 4 months now and his face lights up when Jenny and Gemma answer the door and even more so when he sees the other children already inside!
Before Jenny he wasn’t keen on eating anything but she worked really hard with him to get him to eat and gave us tips and tricks that worked for her and now he eats so much, she really understand babies.
She always updates us on how he is getting on during the day and I love seeing photos of him smiling throughout the day.
Thank you Jenny! You put my mind at ease.

As soon as the door is open it’s big smiles all round from both Jenny & the children.. my little boy loves going there & jumps out the car with excitement to see Jenny & her team :) he always comes home happy & full of joy & learns lots while there..! Jenny is particularly good with bringing their speech & confidence on which is fantastic & great to hear & see.. my little boy is full of character & love & Jenny encourages this in all the children.. I can’t recommend this lovely childcare enough.. Jenny will always try her best to accommodate the parents too where she can.. with also offering a service to pick up & drop off your children if needed..! If you’re looking for a friendly & kind childcare service Jenny’s humble abode is the perfect place to send your children to learn & smile .. She provides a great service all round 10/10..!

Jenny and Gemma look after my third child who is 18 months old. Out of all the childcare providers I have ever had, for my 3 children, they really are the best I've ever had. My son and I feel comfortable with him being there and I've never had any doubts that he is truly being cared for and well looked after. He has lots of fun there and his development progresses so well with their support.

Jenny and her assistant have looked after all 3 of my children, (3yrs 9yrs and 14yrs) since they were all little! they all love going to Jen's and have built a strong bond. The setting is large and adapted for all ages they do activities daily my children have learnt so much here! Througout the summer holidays they have themed days and the children get to choose what fun is had each day! Gemma Jen's assistant cooks homemade dinners which the children love! I cannot thank Jen and Gem enough for all there hard work and smiles they have given my children!

Jenny has been an amazing childminder and role model to my children. Her setting is always bright, clean, fun and happy and my children always found new exciting things to do and activities to take part in as Jenny caters for such a wide age range. Jenny sent regular updates and photos which put my mind at rest. At pick up time I’d get told what they had been doing, eaten etc and my children would always not want to come home! Using a childminder filled me with fear as having someone else look after your children in their home is a worry but Jenny’s home is all about childminding and having fun while also learning so much! Jenny’s folder of certificates is so impressive she completes so much training to keep up to date with guidelines and regulations and finding new things for the children to take part in and ways of learning new skills. You will not find anyone better!

Jenny and her team are just amazing with my boys. From the very first day they started, I think I was more nervous than they were, but they had absolutely no problem settling in. They love seeing Jenny! Their little faces light up when they go, and Jenny feels they same about them. They have a wonderful bond and I honestly couldnt be happier. She has a wonderful setting and I always hear the kids inside laughing and having fun when I pick them up and drop them off! I dont even get goodbyes from my kids anymore! They are too excited to get inside.
I would whole heartedly recommend Jenny. She is so engaging, full of energy and she thrives around all the kids in her setting. She absolutely loves what she does and she does it so well. If my kids come home happy (which they always do), what more could I ask?
I would recommend her a million times over!

I use childcare because my daughters dad and I have had difficulties and it facilitates him being able to have her. I had her in a nursery but they weren’t offering me enough or the right support. Being a childminder myself I know how important the parent carer relationship can be. I looked at so many different childminders and then found Jenny. I instantly got a good vibe from her. She was welcoming, kind and listened to my situation.
Since Harper started she has settled so so well. Jenny is SO supportive of everything and has honestly put my mind at rest 100%. I don’t consider Jenny as harpers childminder I consider her the 3rd parent! Harper loves her and talks about her when at home with me.
Jenny will always send me a video of Harper when her dad drops her off so I know she is in ok and settled well.
Her setting is perfect for little ones and the little touches and extra thoughtful things she does just make it that much more amazing. I honestly feel so lucky that I am able to put Harper into her setting ❤️ Thank you Jenny x

OMG!! I can’t fault 1 thing about Jenny honestly she is more than a childminder to us she is everything to my son. She goes above and beyond for my son who has had some difficulties in previous settings but she & her amazing team have been wonderful. It’s very daunting at times leaving your little ones with someone new but he fitted in just fine like he had always been there. So thank you all 10/10.

Jenny has been looking after my daughter now for over 2 years since she was 2 and I fully intend on staying with Jenny even when my daughter attends primary school and this is because I completely trust her with my daughter. Not only for the lively fun variety that shes brings, as well as her care and nurturing of my daughter but also I know that Jenny is educating & stimulating my daughter as well. Jenny has helped build & strengthen my daughter's confidence in herself as well as playing with others. I know that when she attends school she will be more than ready in every aspect. Jenny is friendly, understanding, flexible, lots of fun and passionate about earlys years learning...I dont know what I woudl do without her!

I really cannot find the words to express how amazing Jenny has been with our boy. He has thrived in Jenny's nurturing and homely setting, he would literally run in every morning and often would not want to leave after being there all day :-) Our little one has autism and Jenny gave him the patience, care and understanding that he missed from his nursery. Nothing was too much for Jenny, she helped him with new sounds and words, would often provide sensory toys for him which was lovely, and she could not wait to see him every day. I am so thankful we found her as it is difficult finding someone who can connect with a child who is autistic. I would highly recommend Jenny to anyone who is looking for a home to home environment where your child will learn, play and be surrounded by care and love by Jenny and the girls.

Jenny has been a star since day one. She has a setting with is safe and secure which we jokingly call Fort Jenny so I know my child is always safe. I don't think a week goes by without Jenny telling me of a new training she or her staff members have done on safeguarding or development.
We started our little boy when he was around 8 months old and we both had to go back to work, when we started our son was a quite nervous child but since joining Jennies he has really come out of his shell and is picking up new words and other positive skills much faster thanks to Jennys efforts and the many fun games she plays with the children. I am also very happy when i get the report of what our son has been eating throughout the day, it is always healthy and filling food.
I cannot praise Jenny enough for her dedication and passion for childminding, her enthusiasm is truly infectious and i know that she doesn't see parents and children merely as her clients but as a part of her own family who she cares very much indeed.
I cannot fault her an excellent choice for anyone looking for an excellent childminder.
I can only say I am disappointed in this website for not having an option to give more stars
10/5 stars for Jenny

Jenny is super friendly and clearly loves her job. We only needed her for a short while but she was so accommodating and made everything easy. We got constant updates to put our mind at ease after leaving out 11month old for the first time. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Jenny and on a few occasions didn’t want to leave to come home! Thanks for everything Jenny. X

Jenny is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very passionate about her Job, she is a true professional. Her service meets all my childcare needs and she is flexible and easy to talk to.
My children adore her, their faces light up when it is time to go to Jenny. My nursery age daughter learns more at Jenny than she learns at preschool. Jenny is kind , caring and very patient , she listens and understands the needs of my family and is doing her best to facilitate us. I consider myself very lucky to find Jenny, because I believe childcare like hers is rare.

What can I say, well let me start by saying Amazing. Its always worrying when your children grow up to the stage that we need to start thinking of child care, the worried of making sure that your child has someone to look after them whilst you have to work. Since starting with Jenny we have found her Amazing. The care that she provides is brilliant, always a happy setting. She works well with the homework and development. Also fun, and that's what it's all about. I'm happy and importantly the kids are happy.

I was very nervous about leaving my baby, returning back to work this was all new to me. Jenny was very reassuring and was fantastic with my baby. He took to her instantly and I felt overjoyed with relief. They built up a very good bond and I was frequently receiving updates throughout the day to help settle my mind. The setting was amazing and very child focused, very clean and welcoming for both parents and children.
Jenny took the time to explain to me on collection what activities they had done throughout the day and how as he grows she is going to encourage him to progress socially, educationally and emotionally. She really was the best decision I made for my son and I will only ever use her for childminding in the future if I were to have more children.

Honestly, I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else! Lola thrived during her time with Jenny and I went to work knowing she was safe happy and loved. You will not find another child minder who cares for your child as much as Jenny. She is passionate, super lovely and just all round great. My daughter is actually at school now and still talks about Jenny regularly. I couldnt have been a working, single mum without her. She is truly the best.

We have been using Jenny’s service since my daughter was a baby. From the first time we met Jenny we knew she was the right choice for our daughter. She has helped my little one become a confident, sociable, extremely happy girl and we look forward to spending more years using your services when we have more children.
Jenny is very reliable, helpful, enthusiastic and the children at her setting adore her (my daughter definitely does!!)
Thank you for all your help and support these last few years.
Anyone who is looking for a fantastic childminder you’ve found the right page.

I have never met anyone more enthusiastic about childcare and children’s development than Jenny and I wouldn’t put my child with anyone else. The enthusiasm she exudes is absorbed and reflected by the children she cares for and I see this in my little girls attitude when I ask “are we going to Jenny’s today?” and I’m responded to with pure excitement!
With Jenny you get the best of both worlds. My daughter has the comfort of being in a home with familiar adults everyday, but she’s also getting the mental stimulation and structured learning she would get from a nursery as well as the socialisation with other children of different ages. It’s so clear how much my little girl has developed since visiting Jenny but every bit of learning is done in a fun exploratory way and I know this from the various updates and pictures I can see on the parent portal.
Jenny makes every child and parent feel welcome. I know I can contact her at any time when she’s caring for my daughter and she will happily give me an update, let me know how they’re doing or even put them on the phone if I wanted which is such a relief for nervous children or parents.
I literally cannot sing enough praises for this lady. She is a childcare dream!

As any parent knows it’s a hard thing picking a childminder for your child.
After weeks of searching we finally met Jenny.
I can honestly say I’ve never met a childminder so dedicated to their job, attentive, understanding and more importantly welcoming.
From the very first day my daughter walked in said goodbye and didn’t want to come home !
I’m updated regularly with my daughters ongoing development and what she gets up to day to day.
Whenever I am asked about who my childminder is I say to them “no matter where I worked or lived I would always commute to Jenny’s childminding”
At one point I was even travelling from Rayleigh to ensure my daughter was in the best care possible, if that doesn’t say something about the services Jenny provides I don’t know what will!

My son adores Jenny, I could not ask for anything more. He speaks about Jenny and all the fun they have every day and is so excited when it’s a ‘Jenny Day’
He settled in with no problems and the photos and messages sent to keep me updated on what he is up to are lovely.
He is learning so much and I’m so thankful I found the perfect person to care for him.

I was struggling to find a childminder for ages to care for my daughter and someone recommended Jenny!
She is everything my daughter needed, also, I did share my struggles from school and Jenny took her time to read with my daughter and her reading skill has improved! Also, behaviour got so much better and I can trust Jenny 100% with anything. Elsie loves and adores her.she loves being picked up by Jenny and dropped off home which is amazing as I don’t drive myself. Highly recommended!

I took my children to Jenny after being upset with the poor care I felt she received at a local nursery. I was concerned about using a childminder initially and entrusting one person to look after my child alone. Jenny works with an assistant which settled my nerves in the first instance, however we had no need to worry. Ella was happy, she looked forward to going to see "my Jenny". She formed a bond with her and I believe it was reciprocated. The children play nicely and are played with rather than left to play independently as they were in nursery. I love how happy, well cared for, and loved Ella felt with Jenny.
Jenny has been professional throughout our time with her, she works hard to ensure her buisness is successful, but firstly that the children are happy and the parents are too. She communicates well, send photos throughout the day from time to time, and it really has been a home from home for Ella. I couldn't be happier with the care we received. We will remember her forever.

Jenny has looked after my daughter for over a year now and I can’t thank Jenny enough for the dedication she puts into her service. My daughter has come so far since going to Jenny and I can’t thank her enough. On pick up Jenny always takes the time to fill me in on my daughters day and always shows me what they have done. I look forwards to seeing my daughters progress over the next year and I know Jenny will do her absolute best to prepare her for school. Arrange a visit because you will not be disappointed.

My children started their childcare with Jen in March 2019 and i honestly wouldnt recommend anyone else. I was always worried about leaving my children with anyone through my own experiences. I cannot say anything bad about Jen and my children loved being at her setting. Jen has always got a smile on her face and makes everyone feel welcome. She has a beautiful setting within her home and is always pushing to make it the best. She always takes her job the extra mile which makes a big difference. Jen always has lots of different activities for the kids to be involved in and always adapts to everyone's needs. I am so happy to have found Jen as a childminder for my children. :)

My daughter started her childminding journey with Jenny when she was 4 and just moved to UK, not speaking English at all. All I can say is that Jenny communicated so well with her and helped her in every way possible, that after 3 months my daughter could speak and understand most of the conversation in English. I trust Jenny with absolutely everything regarding my daughter and that is something that I haven’t even hoped for 😊
Thank you Jenny, you’ve been my saviour for the last 2 years!

My daughter started with Jenny when she was 2. It was her first experience of childcare at all. And I think it’s no coisidence that she took to it like a duck to water because Jenny is so warm and loving.
Nothing is too much trouble and the relationship she has with my daughter makes me so happy.
Would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to everyone and anyone
