JeannieJ's Reviews

Amazing childminder

Jeannie looks after my 2 year old and has been since she turned one. My daughter loves going and she always brings home wonderful and creative art work.

Jeannie has taught her so much - I am always amazed at what she comes out with. When I pointed to birds in the sky and said, "look at the birdies", she aptly corrected me by saying, "geese mummy". She was right! That was Jeannie's input, no doubt from their trips to the bird centre and general trips outdoors.

Jeannie teaches them all about different cultures and celebrations. Halloween, Christmas, Rabbie Burns, Chinese New Year to name a few.

The house is fantastic for kids of all ages - many many books and toys that Jeannie rotates to maintain interest and intrigue. The garden is also set up for playing in the water/sand or on the grass during summer.

Jeannie takes my daughter to the library and playgroup and often Musselburgh to feed the ducks.

I'm exceptionally pleased with Jeannie and her calming influence on my daughter. I'm hoping to send my other daughter to Jeannie next year when I return to work from mat leave.

Overall, I can't recommend Jeannie enough - definitely the best from all childminders I interviewed when starting my childcare search and I've never been disappointed with the service provided.

Thank you so much! I am so lucky to have such a lovely wee girl to childmind. She is a treasure! I just love watching her grow and learn. It is a real privilege to discover the world together.

Fantastic childminder

Our daughter has been going to Jeannie’s for a little over a year now and we could not be more pleased with the care she receives. Every day is full of activities from visiting the local play parks to collecting leaves and twigs to incorporate into their artwork. Jeannie does a brilliant job of teaching the kids about all of the holidays - most recently she was introducing them to Rabbie Burns and then decorating her house for the Chinese New Year.

Jeannie also teaches the kids sign language and our daughter picked up several signs before she was able to say the words. They are out and about every day (weather permitting) making the most of everything Aberlady has to offer. Jeannie's house is the perfect setting for the kids as they have the run of the whole downstairs as well as the secure garden in summer. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
