Our little boy has just finished his time with Jackie to start his journey in Reception. He has been with her for 3 years and my god we are going to miss her! There is no other way to describe Jackie other than the best! The best childminder and we are so thankful we found her. From his first day, Arthur has received the most amazing care and attention. The range of activities she offers is impressive, from the most imaginative arts and crafts to all of the days out. The children have a homemade cooked meal everyday and there is so much variety. She goes above and beyond everyday, and always with a smile on her face. Every Christmas, birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter we received handmade gifts from Arthur and they always had so much effort put into them and they were always perfect. Arthur’s development whilst in Jackie’s setting was exceptional. He learnt so much and she made sure he did everything she could to prepare him for his next step in school. Also, Jackie was so supportive and flexible to us as parents, helping us out when needed and as a first time mum she has always offered me valuable advice when I had a concern about Arthur. I honestly cannot recommend her enough. Over the years, she became more than a childminder, the love and care she showed Arthur was similar to that of a grandparent and it was such a comfort to know he was in such good hands. I am pregnant with my second child and I am hoping that when the time comes, Jackie has the availability to provide childcare when I go back to work. Thank you Jackie!
