Jennie has been looking after my 2 1/2 year old since April 2017 and my 10 month old since Sept 2017. They both absolutely adore Jennie, and her mum Linda (or 'Nanna' as all the children call her), who works as Jennie's assistant. I can honestly say that I cannot fault Jennie's services in any way at all.

Every day the children partake in amazingly fun and life-enhancing experiences; playgroups, Blue Pool, Farmer Palmers, beach trips, soft play, bus trips to Swanage, crabbing in Mudeford, woodland walks, park trips, splashing in paddling pools, Jiggy Wrigglers, Lizzie Bee Toddlers, arts and crafts, 'water' kitchen, planting and growing things... and much, much, more! Jennie puts everything into ensuring that all the children have fun and varied experiences that teach them valuable life skills.

Jennie is also fantastic at encouraging friendship between all the children and developing skills such as sharing and creative play together, as well as teaching them how to be polite and courteous - my 2 1/2 year old has come on leaps and bounds in developing her behavioural skills and attitude in the six months she has been with Jennie.

I was initially worried how my 10 month old would fit in with the older children but she has been fully accepted as 'one of the gang' and despite an age difference of a couple of years Jennie makes sure she is fully included with all of the activities and is welcomed and played with by the other children, as well as catering for her more specific needs such as naps and bottles, and plenty of cuddles!
