Why are we called Jadela Juniors? The name Jadela was made up by Dave in 1991 as an acronym of the first letters of our family members James, Ann, Dave, Elizabeth & Laura-Ann. At that time we named our new home, here at 9 Peak Lane, Jadela House. With us both electing to work together in 2008, as childminders, we decided to call ourselves Jadela Juniors. Whilst we remain individually registered, we decided to use the name Jadela Juniors to describe our home childcare. The name Jadela is pronounced 'Jay Dell Ah' not 'Jade Lah'
