The BEST Childminder we could have asked for!!

This is such a pleasure to leave this review ☺️ Jacky looked after our daughter from 10 months to 3 years and we honestly feel like the luckiest parents in the world! Our daughter has been SO happy and has developed in ways that has blown us away! The learning that takes place is absolutely wonderful -- it's fun, immersive and everything you would dream of. We are over the moon with her development and all the activities they cover on a weekly basis.

Our daughter comes home singing & dancing. She is so happy!! If I could take Jacky with us when we relocate, I would! The bond they have is so heart-warming.

Jacky is professional, kind, fun and has a heart of gold. She cares and loves the children so much - We are so sad to say goodbye!

Thank you Jacky for everything -- you are simply the best! We will miss you SO much and we will never forget what you have done for our little girl (and us!) - what a fantastic start she has had 🥰 xxx

Wonderful childminder

I was gutted when we moved and my son couldn’t continue with Jacky. She is an exceptional childminder. Genuinely caring, kind and very natural. She put me at ease straight away when starting out, I trusted her completely with my son and ended up recommending her to loads of friends as I truly felt lucky to have found her! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience beginning our childcare journey.

Childminder for our daughter for nearly 2 years

Our daughter has been going to Jacky’s 4 days a week from the age of 10 months to nearly 2 and a half. Jacky has been an incredible find and we regularly comment on how lucky we are to be able to send our daughter to her while we are working. She is hugely trust-worthy, kind and caring and our daughter has been blissfully happy spending her days with her. We have total confidence that Jacky is doing a great mix of educational and fun activities with the kids and also cooks them delicious, healthy meals. She had been flexible and accommodating to our changing needs over the last couple of years. We are very sad to be moving our daughter on from Jacky’s to nursery, even though we know it’s the right time, and will absolutely want her to look after our baby son when I go back to work again. Thanks for everything Jacky - we’re not quite sure what we would have done without you! X

Very helpful babysitter highly recommended 5*

I don’t normally write reviews but I had to write a review for Jacky.
I was due to give birth at the Portland hospital and was worried who will look after my 4yr old I searched and found jacky near the hospital on childcare who was available anytime even midnight, I phoned her and spoke to her and she made me feel so relaxed and said don’t worry She will be there at the hospital any time of the day just give her a call when I’m in labour.

When I was in labour asked her to come and she got to the hospital before us and was waiting. We booked a room and left her with my son and me and hubby was in labour room, jacky was updating us about our son and was so helpful and polite with our son that he wanted to stay with her for much longer. I had a baby settled down in the room then she went home.

I really thank Jacky with all my heart and if this wasn’t for her I would have been so stressed out during my labour.

I highly recommend her for any type of babysitting or childminding.

Babysitting/Childcare

Jacky looks after my son Teddy on a weekly basis and he always has a fantastic time with her. I highly recommend her and am happy to give a personal reference if needed, so other parents please feel free to message me should you want one.
