Jackie has looked after my son for almost 3 years, and she's been a fantastic childminder to him. The first thing I noticed about her was how much fun the kids have with her, she has a real sense of what kids enjoy, and very quickly puts them at their ease. She is very caring and seems to genuinely enjoy the personality of each of the kids she looks after. She does plenty of activities with the kids at home, and takes them out and about. She's been good at teaching my son to develop independent skills, eg putting on shoes, washing hands, etc, and has helped his confidence. I think she's really set him up well for school. She's also flexible and easygoing with us parents, which is appreciated! We will be very sad to say goodbye.
