Penny has been child-minding our son for the past year. We really could not have found a more loving childminder for our baby when he started with her at 8 Months old.

Penny is caring, lovely and extremely reliable. She has always treated our son like her own and he absolutely adores her, having a big smile every morning when we knock at her door and jumping in her arms for cuddles. For us, the biggest thing is that Penny gave our son a family life, not only child care, this made me feel so well and reassured because he has been truly happy with her.

All the children I have seen with Penny seem happy and well-behaved. Whatever the weather, Penny takes the kids out to playgroups or the park. I have seen Louis progress SO much during his time with Penny. Penny is also cooking every meal and having dinner with her own family and all the kids at the same time, which is amazing for them.

The only reason we are leaving Penny is that we have moved far away from Wandsworth and can no longer come to her every morning. It was a very difficult decision and it makes us really sad to leave as we have already pictured her taking care of our future babies for the years to come, I am forever grateful for everything she and her amazing family did for us and our son and I strongly recommend her. I know she will miss Louis and we will miss her a lot!
