Penny is incredible, let's start here.

Our son started with her at 12 months old and it has been a great experience from the start. Penny has a lovely play room in her house that is stacked with toys literally up to the ceiling. My little boy couldn't believe his eyes!

Penny takes the kids to playgroups and meets with other childminders and their kids on some days which is fantastic for social interaction. She cooks the kids family meals and provides snacks.

Penny's way of interacting with kids is such a beautiful (and rare) mix of being gentle, clear, compassionate, engaged and guiding. She talks a lot to my son and she got to know all his little unique traits so quickly, like what kind of music makes him dance or what his favourite fruit is.

My favourite thing about Penny is that Jesse (and the other kids of course) are completely unique and special to her. She really sees them and enjoys being with them.

Penny's husband and daughter are also really lovely with Jesse and always engage with him when they see him and it seems that Penny's childminding is a family passion project.

I would recommend anyone to meet Penny, we're loving it!
