Her daughter, Lizzy Steele, said: "I believe that her nomination for this award is due to long service helping and serving the community through Noah's Ark Toddlers Group, a church supported and run initiative held at Twyford URC Church on Tuesday mornings.
Jenny has been doing this since before Matthew, her grandson (now nearly 13) was born.
She unlocks the church and gets toys out before the committed team serve drinks and snacks, read stories and playing games before it is all tidied away once again. " ; ;
