Incredible!

Jennie is wonderful! Both my boys have been with her from the end of my maternity leaves until they started school. She has felt like part of our family and treats them both with love, care and provides boundaries which has made them feel a part of her family. They love and adore her and her family. We have a positive relationship and Jennie has always been understanding. She has extremely high standards and provides a range of educational, engaging and inspiring activities for all children she cares for daily. Jennie is an exceptional childcare professional. She is incredibly knowledgable in child development and how to work with all children. She has always monitored development in my children and supported their development by appropriately challenging them. I am an Early Years teacher and school leader, so I can confidently say she knows her profession and is absolutely fantastic with children. There is no one out there that could have been a better fit for my children. We are so grateful for Jennie and recommend her whole-heartedly with the highest praise.

Fantastic childminder!

We highly recommend Jennie as a very experienced, kind, gentle, and caring childminder. She took care of our 2 children from the age of 7 months to 2 years. The experience with our first child was so good that we did not hesitate to send our second child to her or considered looking for another childminder.

Both our sons were in the care of Jennie full time i.e. 5 days a week for 9-10 hours a day. Jennie loves small children and we could see it as our sons happily went to her every morning. Jennie takes children to different activities every day: local playgroups, visits to the London Zoo or a nearby urban farm, plays in parks, trips to Hampstead Heath or Golders Hill Park, etc. She also organises a lot of different developmental activities at her home for the children. Her home is very clean and tidy. She also adjusts very effectively to parents' requests on the sleep schedule or the food regime. She hardly ever takes sick leave and she has never let us down by taking unplanned time off.

Overall Jennie is highly professional and responsible. The children are safe in her hands and develop well in both mind and body. She goes well beyond the expected high standards. We highly recommend Jennie to any parents who are looking for exceptionally good childcare.

The best childminder

Jennie is a fantastic childminder!
She goes beyond what we expect from her and provides exceptional care to children.
We started our little boy Misha with her at 7 months and he stayed with her for over a year. Full time 5 days a week. From the very start Jennie managed to make him happy and cared for him really well. He settled very quickly and never cried when i left him with Jennie.
Our little child was still breastfeeding and was moving to hard food at the start. We also had a sleeping regime which was changing as he was growing. Jennie followed all of them and was very attentive to all the changes. She has a lot of experience and children love her. She is also very accomodating with parents requests.
She makes the time for children fun and productive. Jennie helped our little Misha to learn to sit, walk and talk. She was encouraging him to develop these and many more skills. She would go with them to zoo, city farm, playgrounds, different playgroups, library etc.
Every day Jennie has been updating us on how Misha was doing and would send us lovely pictures of their activities.
She has also put together an impressive portfolio of our son with plenty of pictures and comments.
We never had any issues or questions to Jennie. And i was always comfortable with leaving Misha with Jennie. And we couldnt wish more.
I highly recommend Jennie to other parents who are looking for childcare and for a piece of mind.

Your search stops with Jennie

My oldest son has been with Jennie for two years, since just after his first birthday. As an Early Years teacher I can whole heartedly say she has a profound depth of knowledge of the early years and child development. She takes exceptional and thoughtful care of all children and challenges them appropriately to encourage development in all areas. She plans engaging and fun activities and experiences daily. My son has always been very happy going to her and it feels she is part of our family.

We receive photos from Jennie every day showing what our son is up to. She is also great about keeping us informed during the day and pick up and drop off. Her setting is very clean and she has different activities out for the children to work with each day. She is happy to support you as a parent with things such as potty training, teeth brushing, etc. She provides snack each day but we provide lunch. We like this because she feels it is important for her to spend the time with the children she looks after instead of in the kitchen.
Jennie is also, and first and foremost, so friendly and accommodating. Her kindness and warmth are so welcome in all our encounters, and she is well loved by our son. Highly recommend!

Jennie Is Absolutely Amazing

Jennie is an incredible childminder. I would, and have, recommended Jennie to anyone who asks. If there were two words to describe Jennie, it would be ‘warm’ and ‘kind’.

Jennie looked after my two sons for a period of four years. She has seen them grow and helped them grow. When my husband and I were thinking of childcare for our older son, a friend said that she had looked for someone “who would pick them up and give them a cuddle if they fell”. This was excellent advice, and as soon as I met Jennie I knew that she would do just that.

Jennie welcomes children into her home and gives them the space to grow. She has a fantastic routine with the children where: they play at Jennie’s in the early morning; then Jennie takes them to playgroups or the park or City Farm; then they return home for lunch and a nap before more playtime. Our boys loved this routine – it allowed them to feel safe and comforted in knowing how their day was structured, as well as giving them time outside everyday and time inside where Jennie could focus on the things they enjoyed in her home. We were constantly amazed at Jennie’s innovation in the things they would make with her and how much she would change the space in her home to a full art or playdough class.

Jennie is amazing at communication. Jennie set up a WhatsApp group for my husband and I where she would send photos every single lunchtime of what our sons had been doing. It quickly became the highlight of my day – to see my sons being happy, independent and playing. It was also a great way to know what they had been doing in the day so we could ask them at dinner time. Jennie is also very structured in her recording of what the children have been doing. She makes a folder with photos of them and what they have been doing, as well as their art work. She also completes an OFSTED book with their progress. It has always been such a joy to sit and look through these and see what our boys have done and how they have grown in Jennie’s care. The folder with photos and their art is the sort of thing that you always tell yourself you will make for you and your children but never do – so having the one Jennie made is really incredibly special.

Overall, it is the love, care and warmth that Jennie gives children in her care. She goes the extra mile(s) to make sure they are happy. What more could you want? This morning in fact my youngest son said “you know Mama, I would really like to be at Jennie’s every day of my life”. This is a boy who has now started school and thinks he is a ‘big boy’ – but still he wants to be in Jennie’s home which he still loves. We are so lucky to have had Jennie’s kindness and support for four years and would recommend that you meet Jennie and get to enjoy that for you and your family too.

We miss Jennie so much - but are very lucky that we were able to benefit from her incredible childcare, her love, her support and her warmth.
