My 8 year old son has been going to Jacqueline for over 7 years now and my 6 year old daughter for 5 years. I have never had one day of worry dropping them off as have absolute confidence in the care and attention they will receive. When I hear about other childminders I feel very fortunate to have Jacqueline as she is constantly looking for ways to keep all her children, of all ages, interested and happy. The range of activities they do is really quite astounding - always something a little different and always fun. Without my children even realising it, they are also learning and developing all the time - topics such as stranger danger, road safety, fire safety etc - all of these crucial learnings are delivered in a way they can relate to and enjoy. Every season and all annual events are covered - for example at Christmas time there is A LOT of fun with the two mischievous elves and spring has seen them grow butterflies from caterpillars. The children are continually encouraged to make suggestions and get involved. Jacqueline also regularly attends training courses to keep her own skills and knowledge fully up-to-date. In summary, I cannot recommend Jacqueline any higher - children receive first class care in a safe, happy environment with their own self-development and wellbeing at the heart of it all.
