Dear Jen.

What a wonderful club you offer to children. We love the way you give children the freedom to create their own picture, model, collage this develops their confidence and creativity and happiness. My daughter as you know has moderate learning disabilities and struggles with load noise and socialising which hinders her socially. What your club has given her is the ability to mix in small groups with many different children. She can be left with you and enjoys her hour creating laughing and having fun. You have opened a door for her which us often closed to more sensitive children.

Thank you Jen amazing work you do its fun and rewarding. We also love your holiday workshop instead of being cooped up she’s getting colourful and creative.

Thanks Jen and thank you Parsley Pie

My daughter Zara (8 years) has been attending Parsley Pie art classes once a week for over a year. She thoroughly enjoys them and I feel they are an essential part of her personal development both creatively and emotionally. Jenny is very receptive, whilst giving gentle guidance, allows her to find her own style. The huge thing I appreciate (unlike most childrens activity providers) that although we book 8-12 week blocks at a time as long as you communicate the dates you can’t be there then Jenny is flexible so you aren’t paying for dates you can’t use. Top marks!!

It’s epic, I love it. You can create anything you like!

Hi Jen,
Parsley Pie Hale is definitely our favourite art club. My boys have been going for few months and they really love it! It provides a relaxing environment where kids are free to learn, explore their interest, try different materials and ideas, as well as socialise and make friends. Jen is a brilliant artist and passionated about her work. In her studio (and garden!)the kids find everything they need to develop their artistic abilities… And have much fun!

Eloise loves Parsley Pie and has produced some gorgeous pieces. She looks forward to it every week.

Jenny Bent has given my sons the opportunity to experiment and develop their artistic side. She is patient, encouraging and brings out the best in them. Noah and Ben love going to her for a lesson and talk about it during the week before their next one. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to go somewhere where they feel ‘at home’ and really enjoy going to.

My children Michael and Gerard love Parsley Pie they love the freedom and fun of the art activities.  They love the environment and Jenny..  They can’t wait to find more time to return for more sessions.

December 21, 2015

My daughters really enjoy going to Parsley Pie on a Saturday morning. One has been attending for almost 5 years and another for about 3 years. They both enjoy the freedom to create in a fun and friendly environment and develop their own ideas. As the classes are small, Jenny is able to provide as much or as little help and guidance as they want! Both are enthusiastic about continuing for as long as they can.

December 21, 2015

My son has been going to Jenny’s brilliant classes for about 7 years! He just loves it! A place for him to relax and do his own thing, i hope Jenny is still going in another 15 years!!

My 7 year old daughter Poppy has been attending Parsley Pie Art Club for around 2 years. She frequently informs me that Parsley Pie is her favourite activity. Poppy literally is as excited as attending a party when it is time for her lesson. I myself am not arty in any way but the art work Poppy has produced is quite incredible for a 7 year old. This work adorns our home and has been displayed in local exhibitions which is very impressive.

My older daughter Millie and Poppy often attend the holiday workshops which are themed and are fun filled. Parsley Pie is unique and Jenny Is simply an inspiration with the enthusiasm she displays towards all the children resulting in amazing artwork.

Thanks alot and please don’t ever close down!!

Hi Jenny
Erin has been coming to Parsley Pie for about three years now and loves every minute of it! Under your brillant guidance her art work has developed so much, she’s painted pictures to her teachers, and everyone loves her stuff. She given up so many other ‘clubs’ but will never give up Parsley Pie!! Hope you’re ready for the next 10 years with her!

Sam has loved attending Parsley Pie and has created some amazing artwork and models which I would struggle to help him develop at home. It’s wonderful that they can work as individuals and have a choice of what they do each week. He thinks Jenny is really great.

Liz Cooper October 25, 2015

Hi Jenny,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing work you do with Parsley Pie. Kristen has only been coming to art lessons for a couple of months, but it has become the highlight of her week. She has learnt so much in the short time she’s been with you regarding different art mediums and methods, but also gained confidence in the freedom to explore and express her own creativity. I think that she will be coming to Parsley Pie for many years to come. Thanks again!

Lauren (aged 7 ) loves coming for her Saturday morning art class – your studio is her favourite place to go to and her art class her favourite time of the week.

Liz Hutchinson October 25, 2015

Ellie & Harvey both adore The Parsley Pie Art Club and especially Jenny. The standard of art that they are producing week after week is amazing, whether it be a painting, sculpture or clay art it is worthy to be displayed in any gallery – all thanks to the inspiration, patience and guidance of Jenny.

Kay Leggett October 25, 2015

Cloey (aged 5) enjoys coming to Parsley Pie Art because the club gives her a chance to use her imagination to create the things that she likes. The club provides all the materials that are needed, and the teacher is very kind, patient and experienced. Cloey likes her teacher very much and she has made a lot of new friends in the club. Cloey enjoys the process of creating her works, and feels proud of herself when her works are finished. Classes are organised in small groups, every children are well care and supervised. I would highly recommend the club for any parents whose children are interested in drawing, painting, or making crafty stuff. I’m sure your child would have a great time there!

Michelle Fong October 25, 2015

My daughter, Anna (seven very soon!), flung her arms up in the air with joy when I told that a space had become available for her to go to Parsley Pie Art Club on a weekly basis. She then quickly added, “So, can I go today?” with a smile on her face. Jenny is a wonderful example of an individual giving something to the world rather than just taking!

Abi Parker October 25, 2015

My little girl just loves attending Parsley Pie, she has been attending since she was five years old and the creations she comes home with are just fantastic, each week there is something unique and lovely. Jenny is absolutely amazing and the whole concept of Parsley Pie is not like any other art and craft class I have seen, again, it is very unique. I cannot recommend Jenny and her fab, fab classes highly enough!

October 25, 2015

What a fantastic place .. After a week at school it’s exactly what my girls need to unwind!

December 21, 2015

Lucy has been attending the Parsley Pie Art Club for six years and relishes her Saturday mornings with Jenny! Lucy has a true passion for art and Jenny has nurtured and encouraged her artistic development. Lucy’s only dream is to be an artist like Jenny – with Jenny’s help her dream may come true!

Fiona Barker October 25, 2015

Naaman Carr attended approx 5 years. Enjoys going to club enjoys mixing with the other people & enjoys doing art. A good club that allows children to chill & be creative. Always great seeing the new art works

Naaman mother October 25, 2015

It is fantastic that the children have such a huge range of things to do at Parsley Pie, I have never found another children’s activity where there is so much choice in each session! Jenny is a highly skilled, very creative & very patient teacher!

Peter Davies October 25, 2015

My two boys have been attending Parsley Pie in Hale for about 3 years and they love love love it! Jenny is great with kids, she makes them feel relaxed and she is always there to help and guide them if they need it and she gives them time and space to be themselves and think for themselves. Long may Parsley Pie continue!! xxx

My daughter Manni had been all kinds of clubs/classes including dancing, gymnastic, singing and etc and all stopped because Manni didn’t want to go. Parsley Pie is the only club which she really loves and never gives up.
I never think Manni is talented at art/drawing/painting, however it seems to me that Jenny always can find a way to inspire her interest which makes her gradually love Parsley Pie more and more.

Dearest Jenny, a dear friend of ours, Kate had been taking her daughter Tess to Parsley Pie daughter for a long time. On very special occasions, wonderful gifts would be given, that Tess had done with Jenny. After being thrilled by our unique gifts, I couldn’t wait for my little girl, Katy May, to join Tess on her fantastic journey of creativity. As soon as Katy May was old enough, age 5, off she went for her fab hour of fun. I can honestly say, Katy May has thoroughly enjoyed every single visit. She is now 6 and a half and has recently been joined by her little sister Gracie, Who has been chomping on the bit for what seems like an eternity to a 4 year old, to join her big sis and get in on the fun and the master piece production. My only concern is, we now have to find the money to buy our next door neighbours house, so we can knock through and create our very own gallery!

Clare and Kevin Kennedy October 25, 2015

Jenny at parsley pie has created a very special art class. The environment is stimulating, but very relaxed, and she ensures that children of all ages and abilities are totally free to express themselves in a wide variety of mediums. My daughter has been going for 9 years since she was 4 and loves the creative freedom it allows her, encouraging creative thinking, inspiring confidence. You only have to attend one of her classes and see the kids, most of whom come back week after week, to see the power of what Jenny does. A special place and person

Drew Hutchinson October 25, 2015

Jenny is brilliant with kids, she brings out the best in them! My 2 boys love coming to Parsley Pie in the school holidays, I only wish we lived a bit nearer as i know they would like to come every week! Jenny & the art club are a great mix of professionalism, creativity & caring.

J Bullock October 25, 2015

My daughter’s Jessica and Rebecca first came to Parsley Pie two summers ago and had the best time ever!!! No mummy to tell them not to be messy with their art stuff…. they had the freedom to explore with paints, clay, glitter and glue (not to mention the gorgeous goats in the garden!) and they had a wonderful time!

They returned last year and have been going regularly, and have produced some fabulous art pieces having been given valuable advice from the amazing Jenny and thoroughly enjoy their time there.

I would recommend it to any child regardless of their art skills as it gives each individual the opportunity to explore their talent.

December 21, 2015

My two say that parsley pie is really , really fun and relaxed. You get to try any kind of art and jenny will always help if you’re not sure.

From my point of view it is the only club they are absolutely devastated to miss. They love coming, love meeting their friends and making new friends, love the freedom of the environment , love being able to make a mess and no one cares, love drying their art with a hairdryer! , love the animals and love their time with you!

December 21, 2015

My three children absolutely love coming along each week to parsley pie, they are always excited about what project they are doing and what they plan to do next and they are even asking if they can come more often! At first it was just them in their class, now it has grown so there are quite a few of them. I’m sure they will want to keep coming in the holidays too!!

December 21, 2015

Harry (10) & Megan (8) love Parsley Pie art club! They have been coming for over 3 years mostly during the holidays as we live in Crewe. There isn’t any where else nearer to us that offers such an opportunity. Jenny is an inspiration & the choice of activities is fantastic!
