My Summary
About Me
Hi. My name is Jackie. I have been an Ofsted registered Childminder since 2006. I am from the Wensley Fold area of Blackburn, Lancashire which is very close to Blackburn town centre, College and University, and lots of primary school & nurseries.
I live with my husband Craig. We have 4 grown up children all of who now live successful independent lives.
Every day children in my care experience sensory and creative activities which include painting, glueing and sticking, stickers, colouring and baking which is adapted to each child's individual needs as well as storytimes, singing and dancing. I also have lots of learning resources including jigsaws, books, games, VTechs and other electronic toys, games and a tablet. We visit local parks, library and playgroups regularly which children thoroughly enjoy and this enables them to make friends with other children, which promotes their speech, language and social skills. We have outings by rail or car, visiting Zoos, farms different parks etc. My home has an outside play area which has trikes and scooters to ride on and lots of outdoor toys. The area where I live has lots of playgrounds with climbing frames and slides which we use regularly.

Jackie, has looked after my son for over 9 years now and I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way! Jackie gives a high standard of care and goes above and beyond her normal duties. Jackie creates a safe, fun and educational environment for my son and he adores her. During the school holidays she takes him on trips, picnics, they visit museums and she plans lots of activies for their time together. Jackie has become a part of our family and I can’t thank her enough for her service. Definitely a 5* childminder.
