PENNY & TOYAN CHILDMINDERS VACANCY AVAILABLE


Recommended Posts

Penny and Toyan have looked after our daughter for the last two years - and before that cared for our son. Both children loved being with them and were made to feel at home from day one. They were both little (under one) when they began so it was really important for us to find a safe, happy and most importantly loving home environment. Penny and her daughter Toyan helped us through all the developmental stages (solids, crawling/walking, potty-training etc) and kept the children stimulated and entertained with regular activities both in and out of their home - trips to the park, playgroups, fruit-picking etc. They are 100 per cent reliable and also flexible - both really important as we have busy jobs of our own. The children were always well cared for and well fed! We are sad to be leaving but our daughter is now moving to a nursery. However, we could not recommend Penny and Toyan more highly - they have helped us to give both children a fantastic start in life that I know will stand them in good stead for years to come. I'd be very happy to speak over the phone if you want a personal reference or have any questions - just PM me.

Penny and Toyan have cared for my daughter for the past year. My daughter was a shy child so it was essential for me to find an environment that was both supportive and caring. Penny and Toyan have both provided my daughter with all the encouragement and support needed to develop her social skills and confidence. The children are taken out every day to groups and they have attended various places of interest including the farm and strawberry picking. Regular pieces of arts and crafts are presented to you on collection of your child. The communication between Penny, Toyan and myself has been brilliant with regular pictures sent to me, a written daily diary and regular talks. They are always available to answer any questions about how your child is during the day, and to give advice on issues such as potty training. Healthy nutritious meals are always provided which my daughter greatly enjoys. The environment is like home from home, warm and caring. I would be happy to answer any further questions and to give a reference, please PM me.

My daughter started with Nanny Penny and Toyan 18 months ago when she was just 1 and my son started last October as he turned 1. They have both thrived there. There is a great settling-in process to allow the children to get used to Nanny Penny and Toyan and to their home environment. They are very experienced and provide a really good combination of playgroup (in the mornings) and home settings (in the afternoon) which is the best of both worlds in my view allowing the kids to spend time playing in larger groups with their peers but also with the dedicated small-group care element. They also eat amazingly (I am always jealous of their menu) - all home-cooked food.


It is a really loving, child-focused, family environment but at the same time making sure the children are polite and learn good manners (hands on mouth for coughing, saying sorry etc) which is exactly what I was looking for. They read lots of books and do music activities, art and so on.


Very happy to answer any questions on message or by phone - please PM me.

Penny and Toyan have looked after my twins for the past 15 months soon after they turned one and have gone from strength to strength under their care. The twins quickly formed a strong bond with them and from their very first day with them, they were excited and happy to be left with them which was a great relief to me on my return from maternity.


They provide the children with a stimulating, fun and loving family environment with loads of activities. Their daily outings to play groups is an abolsute must for my two as they love being out and about. They also organise other activities such as craft sessions, park walks, visits to wild life gardens and farms so they're never bored and very well socialised with many of their peers. Reading also forms a big part of their day and helped nurture my little ones love of books.


The food is amazing - freshly prepared every day and super nutritious and they absolutely love it.


They also have been very supportive to me providing me with helpful advise and tips which I have greatly appreciated. I have to say I was a bit overwhelmed (and stressed) when I started the whole process of searching for childcare and feel very fortunate and thankful I've found Penny and Toyan - they have been wonderful for my little ones and me. If you have any questions or would like a chat over phone or email, please pm me.

    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now There is a reason people like their modern phones - and it isn't just replacing cash. Replacing all of these functions in a tiny device is a magnificent achievement and to just boil  it down to "big lump with a screen" is reductive in the extreme  
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
