Hawley, Ms Jennifer Anne (Mini Badgers)

Welcome to Mini Badgers – Your Home-from-Home Childcare! At Mini Badgers, we believe childhood is for exploring, learning, and having fun! Run by me, Jenny, with my husband Simon as my assistant, and supported by two enthusiastic apprentices, our family-run setting has been caring for little ones since September 2020. We love the outdoors! Every day, we take the children out into our local environment—parks, nearby nature spots, and forested areas—helping them discover the world around them, stay active, and develop a love for nature. Spending time outside also supports better sleep, healthy growth, and lots of fun adventures! At home, our play spaces are full of toys, books, arts and crafts, and a garden packed with sand and water play, slides, trees, and even a patch for growing fruit and vegetables. Every day is an adventure! We also collaborate with other local childminders, giving children the best of both worlds: small, friendly groups and a safe, nurturing home environment.
