About Me
Laura Jayne Jenkinson
Ofsted registered childminder
Providing home from home childcare
I have lived in Penkridge all my life and completed my education up until 16 in the schools of Penkridge before progressing to Stafford college.
I live with my husband and my two daughters in our home in Penkridge.
I strive to make our home your home and give every child the sense of feeling comfortable and happy when they are here.
I provide a warm, safe friendly home environment with a family atmosphere.
Children receive a lot of individual attention whilst interaction with others.
I appreciate that parents are the most important people in a child's life, therefore consult with parents on all aspects of their child's care.
I like to take an active lifestyle and believe that there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices.
I attend local groups within the village which give the children the opportunity to interact with other children and experience new activities.
We explore national trust properties, parks, Cannock chase and many other places.
Colouring, reading, baking, puzzles, role play, gardening, crafts, music, singing, water play, paining and outdoor play are just a sample of activities that I offer.
We try and go out everyday on an adventure.
I work closely with other childminders so the children in my care get used to mixing in larger groups of children.
The eyfs standards are followed with timetabled activities.
My aim is to provide children with a healthy, balanced and tasty diet using a variety of colours, textures and tastes.
