Jackie Mccrohan

The Best!

My children have attended Jackie's house over the past two years and have loved every minute. She supported my son with speech and language and helped him to become the independent little preschooler he is now. My daughter jumps into Jackie's house every morning and waves me goodbye.

Jackie learns every child and adapts her activities to suit their interests. She carefully sets out activities to engage all age ranges whilst promoting children to work together and independently. She takes the kids to playgroups and local parks, which they love. She has a great garden where children can play all year round. They have so much fun in the summer , I have to bribe the kids to leave.

She provides homecooked meals and adapts her menu to suit all dietary needs. All children eat together and help to tidy away their plates. She communicates her calander clearly and provides us with regular updates.

She is a wealth of knowledge about activities, services and local schools which is great if you're not local. I couldn't recommend Jackie enough, she is amazing.

The best 5 years 🌟

Jackie is a wonderful childminder, her home and family are so welcoming.
We’ve been with her for 5 years, both of our sons adore her. Our littlest will be graduating soon and moving onto school nursery, he’s ready for it and that’s largely in part thanks to Jackie.
Her setting is perfect, she has a brilliant range of activities for the children, regular trips out, yummy home made food and she throws a great party!
We’ve always said that we love Jackie’s calm and supportive nature and that we feel we found a real gem of a childminder.
We highly recommend her to any new families.

5 years of Excellence

Jackie is an excellent and reliable childminder. She has looked after my two children for nearly 5 years. My son will 'graduate' to nursery school this year and we will all miss 'Jackie's'. My daughter loves her and her whole family. It feels you are dropping your kids off at a close friend's house. She is supportive with the kids development and handles the hard moments with kindness and care. I have always known my children are safe and thriving. She takes them on trips, lots of outdoor activies and creative play. There is even a singing lady that come to her home and my son loves all the music and dancing. I personally think this small group of children is perfect for their social development in the early years. Thank you Jackie.

Best Childminder

I can't put into words how grateful and happy we are to have found Jackie. From day one our daughter loved her and her family. Emilia was always happy and eager to see Jackie and her family, she could not have been in better hands, we appreciate everything she has learned and the values ​​that Jackie has taught her, without a doubt it has been the best part of our stay in the UK. Unfortunately we have to leave the country and that is why we left her, we will miss her very much and we hope to see each other again one day.

Jacs Childminding

Jackie sees all the children in her care as individuals and no matter what time I have been into the setting she is always responsive to them. Having Zoe and Georgia as assistants offers flexibility in terms of activities for the children. The meals are home cooked and children eat together.

Jackie is responsive to any concerns or support needs around development. Has worked with us to get our child support and planning for transition to school. He has improved in his confidence and social skills since attending her setting.

Excellent childcare

My daughter started when she was just 9 months as I had to go back to work. She settled in very well and enjoys attending. The play room has an excellent range of activities which opens up to an outside area where the children can also play. They are always going to play centres, the park, playgroup etc. Communication is excellent with daily reports and photos. The food and snacks provided are healthy, and my daughter always eats well there. Both Jackie and Craig are very professional and are great care givers. I never worry when my daughter is there as they do an excellent job and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

Excellent childminder

Our son has been going to Jackie's since he was 15 months old and he is now 3 , she is an amazing childminder.
From the start our son settled in seamlessly, without a single issue.
Jackie has provided a warm, caring, happy and stimulating environment in which our son has thrived. She has a very special relationship with the children she cares for, which can be seen in the way they respond to her and she to them.
Jackie provides a wide variety of activities for the children, including indoor/outdoor play, reading, drawing, messy play, play groups etc.
There's never a dull day at Jackies. My son even asks to go to Jackie's on our days off work with him, so we can confidently say he loves to go there!

We can wholeheartedly recommend Jackie and her assistant Craig as excellent childminders.
