My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Jacqui Cooper. I established Jacqui’s Child-minding Services on the 13th of may 1991. I am registered under a number of organisations and governing bodies they are; CIW, PACEY (the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) I am also registered under the provisions of child and families measure (wales 2010) complying with child-minding and day care regulations (wales 2010) and a community child-minder for the city and county of Swansea.
I hold a full valid U.K. driving licence .Service is available to children age 3 plus.
I am reliable, responsible and fun loving with loads of energy and bags of enthusiasm for my work. I have been volunteering at an owl sanctuary on weekends for over 6 years, and make regular trips there during the school holidays with the children. I also worked voluntarily with special needs children, when I lived in London and continued the work for several years after moving to Clydach.
I aim to provide a complete professional childcare service in a warm friendly environment, ensuring your child's day is a happy one. Every effort will be made to ensure your child, regardless of age, gender, race, religion and ability will receive equal opportunities, to play and prepare in a structured environment for all children from early years stages of school, right up to comprehensive school. All activities are age appropriate. They include painting, printing, drawing, colouring, sticky pictures, numeracy, alphabet and spelling, shape and colour work, cooking, gardening, and growing. During reasonable weather and depending on the number and ages of children, trips will be made to local parks, library, community farm, the waterfront museum, beaches and the owl sanctuary which is in Ebbw Vale.
My Experience
I have 40 years of experience working with children, I started as a private children’s nanny, progressing to a nursery assistant in at a kindergarten for children from 2 to 5 years old in Kent. The next role I undertook was as principal director of a private day nursery in London, for 6 years. 64 children between the ages of 2 to 5 attended the nursery, overseen by a team of 15 staff that I managed. I then moved to wales in 1989.
My first position in wales was for 18 months as a private nanny for a family in mumbles, this was prior to moving to Clydach and establishing Jacqui’s child-minding services, which is based at my home. The building is a 1930’s detached house, with a large landscaped garden which is fully enclosed and includes a children's vegetable patch and fairy garden, all created by myself with the help of many children over the years.
