Jackie provided childcare cover whilst our childminder was away and our son absolutely loved it there. The setup is great for school-aged children: a large open plan ground floor and huge garden providing children with lots of space to run around and play games, a cupboard full of toys and board games and a large kitchen table where they all sit down to do their homework (and she does get them to do it!). But the greatest asset is Jackie herself with her warm, friendly, considerate manner and her total enthusiasm for looking after children. It is immediately apparent how much she enjoys connecting with children, playing with them and engaging them. A great childminder!
