Fantastic!

Reviewed

My son stayed with Jen for just under two years before moving onto pre-school. He absolutely loved it!
Jen provides a vast array of activities and her garden is well equipped with a variety of equipment including a playhouse, wooden teepee, nature kitchen, swing/slide/climbing frame set and veg/flower bed for gardening.
Jen is brilliant with the kids and always goes above and beyond to create memories and keepsakes to bring home and share with the family on special days. I was always confident that my son was in safe hands and Jen kept us up to date with regular diaries, photos and safety policies. Safeguarding is definitely a top priority for Jen which is very reassuring. She also supports the children with their emotional development and builds a respectful and caring relationship - always reinforcing good manners and high expectations of behaviour and independence which complimented our expectations at home perfectly.
Jen takes the children to lots of different playgroups and activities, and regularly meets with other childminders so my son was able to build a wide group of friends and was happy and confident with Jen's back up childminder (although in 2 years we never needed this as she was never ill) showing her reliability and dedication to her job.

Jen regularly says how much she genuinely loves her job, and this is evident in her setting. She is outstanding with ofsted, and outstanding with us!
