Jackie is wonderful with all the children, I see her walking with the younger children from Loughton Manor and she has them in a great, safe routine. My son goes to Jackie’s in the evening and loves it, she takes onboard all parents requests and will chat through any problems that occur, nothing seems like too much trouble! My son loves all the different activities that Jackie has out when he is there and she keeps you updated with some pictures of your child playing and activities they do. Jackie’s home is clean, organised and spacious, the children have access to inside and outside. Would highly recommend Jackie!

My son loves going to Jackie’s house before and after school. Jackie provides a warm and caring setting that is a home away from home. Jackie provides a great variety of activities and is very reliable. My son says “Jackie is kind and caring and always includes everyone”. Thank you Jackie for everything you do!

My children love going to Jackie's house and settled in quickly. They love all the different activities e.g., games, dancing, dressing up, outside activities...and also the snacks which got a special mention when I asked them about going to Jackie's. I also appreciate the photos and clear communication from Jackie.

Jackie has been fantastic, from helping my daughter settle in quickly, to a great range of activities, loads of fun and games, regular photo updates and really thoughtful ideas like birthday celebrations. She’s also incredibly organised and good at communicating with parents which makes my life so much easier!

My daughter settled immediately with Jackie , she was made to feel very welcome from the moment she started. Jackie offers a range of activities for the children and encourages all children to participate and engage where possible. My daughter always wants to stay longer and enjoy the fun . Jackie is also extremely good at updating parents with their children's progress or skills they have participated in when they are with her .I highly recommend Jackie she is fantastic!

Child 2 said " Jackie is a very good kids minder and I really like it when we go to the park. She's nice"
Child 3 said " Jackie is really kind and she let's me play basketball in the garden. I'm a little bit sad when I go home"

Jackie is such a angel!
Jackie is so caring, loving and also very patient.
It is a home away from home, which helps children who find afterschool clubs too hectic and overwhelming.
Jackie treats all the children who attend her home as if they were her own!
She is also willing support those children who need to comfort and support whilst always making time for an open ear and shoulder to lean on!
Not only that but she is always communicating with the parents with updates, events and issues that may have happened!
My son can’t wait to came back everyday!
We all love Jackie and she is a treasured member of our family 🥰

I have 2 kids and Jackie has been great at picking them up in the afternoon and making sure they are happy while my husband and I work. They feel safe, they have a good time and sometimes don't want to come home which is exactly what you want to see when you have to leave them.
I'm very thankful that I found out about Jackie from another parent in our son's school I can totally recommend her

Jackie was recommended to me by another parent at my child’s school.
My son attends 2 mornings and 2 evenings per week. When I go to pick him up he doesn’t want to leave lol!
Jackie is so loving and caring, I can see the kids adore her, think everyone knows her at school and best part she is across the road from school so kids get dropped and picked up by walking which I prefer.
I would recommend her to everyone if your looking for a safe, happy and fun place for your kids. Her home is so warm and welcoming no wonder the kids don’t want to leave.
Thank you for all your support Jackie, hopefully once I go full time I would love to increase my sons time with you.

We have been really lucky to find a child minder like Jackie for our 4 year old daughter. Jackie takes care of her like one of her own. She is very compassionate, caring, loving and at the same time teaches her the right things. My daughter absolutely loves her.

Jackie has taken care of our daughter for about 3 years now, we couldn't be happier! Jackie does loads with the children, which I am very grateful for especially atm with the pandemic because it's a bit of normality for them. When the weather is nice, Jackie takes the children to the local park, which they love! My daughter says she loves going to Jackie's because Jackie is kind, thoughtful and caring and she enjoys playing with the other children too.
Couldn't recommend Jackie enough to any parent!

Jackie has looked after our two sons for over 4 years. She is a very caring, supportive and considerate Childminder and does her utmost to bring joy and laughter to her home.
Always full of lots of ideas and creates many activities that the kids love to partake in;
when they are there. It is reassuring to know that the kids look forward to going to Jackie’s after-school and in the holidays!
Jackie is very professional and is always up to date with regulatory requirements. She responded well to support parents and the kids during the pandemic. Even helped to take my boys out for a daily walk - such a star!
My husband and I would like to thank you enormously for the love and care you have given to our sons. We would highly recommend you to other parents! Thank you! Kuljit & Mani x

My two children have been going to Jackie’s for a few years now and love it there. It is a real home from home, they have lots of fun there but she also makes sure they are all well behaved and don’t run riot😊
My kids went through a major trauma last year and Jackie has been so supportive to them. They both know they can talk to her about anything which is so reassuring as it’s nice for them to know another grown up has their back. She is also such a positive happy person it rubs off on all around her. I’ll be very sad when mine are too old to go there anymore!

My daughter has been attending Jackie's for a few years now. She loves going after school and during the holidays. She always talks about Jackie at home. I was panicking for childcare and Jackie appeared on my advertisment and felt like it was fate that I found her. From the moment I spoke to Jackie and met her I new my daughter would be happy there. She never wants to come home and I never have to worry about her while I'm working. :) Thank you Jackie.

Jackie has cared for my daughter for nearly 3 years now. My daughter enjoys staying at Jackie's and looks forward to her mornings and afternoons with Jackie and is obviously happy and relaxed when collected. (Some days she does not even want to leave!)
There's a very positive atmosphere about the house which is fully equipped with everything children need.
Jackie is very committed and always giving children her full attention. She is also easy to talk to and pass on anything she knows will interest or concern them.
Overall, Jackie is an impressive childminder.

Jackie looks after both of my children and provides a safe and fun environment for them. She always goes above and beyond to make the time at her house fun and engaging and they so look forward to her picking them up from school. The communication with us as parents is exceptional and we know that when the children are at Jackie’s they are safe and having the best time! As a family we would be lost without her. Jackie also has excellent relationships with both schools in Loughton which makes collection arrangements super easy!

My daughter has been looked after by Jackie for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the service Jackie provides our family.
Jackie looks after my daughter from 8am - 4.30pm, she drops off and picks up from Loughton middle school. Most evenings when I collect my daughter, she doesn't want to leave because she is having too much fun!!
Lots of people ask me if I feel bad about leaving my daughter with the 'child minder', i don't feel bad at all because my daughter loves going to Jackie's, who is like family!!
Jackie encourages good fair behaviour and always keeps parents updated with what's going on.
So impressed with how patient and caring Jackie and her family are with all the children!
Wouldn't be able to cope without you Jackie!!xx

Jackie is very pro-active with communicating with us and the children absolutely love being with her. Don’t know what we would do without her!

Jackie has been looking after both of my children and they absolutely love her. They often have to go very early in the morning, and there is no trouble getting them to get up and get ready as they love going to Jackie’s for breakfast.
They have both developed a lovely bond with her, and really enjoy the activities that she organises for them, as well as just the usual chit chat for the day. She really takes the time to get to know each child, and makes them feel really special.
I would thoroughly recommend Jackie for both school childcare and holiday care.

My two boys have recently joined Jackie and are thoroughly enjoying their time with her and the other kids. Jackie is very good with kids, creative and fun; always thinking about them and their needs. My elder son has commented that you can chat easily with Jackie, as she is trustworthy and kind. It’s such a relief to know that my children love being there and feel she is an amazing childminder, but more importantly a genuinely lovely person. That’s both of my son’s feedback!

Jackie looks after my 2 children, they absolutely love going to her house to the point they ask to go even on days she isn’t due to have them and it’s often hard to get them away to come home as they are enjoying themselves so much with the different activities Jackie sets up and with her wonderful personality. My daughter in particular loves the yoga sessions.
Jackie has a lovely warm personality and always ensures the kids are well behaved and happy at all times.
I can’t recommend Jackie’s childminding services enough, any child that gets a space with her will be truly happy as well as the parents 😊

My daughter absolutely loves going to jackies in the school holidays. Never have a argument in the mornings about getting dressed as she’s usually dressed and ready to go she loves it there. There is always something to do there, lots of crafts and activities to do. She’s brilliant and wouldn’t send her anywhere else.

Jackie has been collecting my 6 year old from Loughton Manor First school since September 2018. Being new to Milton Keynes, I was worried about finding a decent Childminder however, we found Jackie, who was our first and only home visit. We were happy and did not need to look anywhere else.
Jackie collects Olivia from after school clubs during the week and in the evening has the kids ready for collection, after a text to let her know when I'm on my way. Jackie has collected the kids from the library after a school trip. My daughter enjoys her time with Jackie that she gets upset when leaving!!
Jackie has a great relationship with the kids and teaches them respect. I think because there are no kids under 5, Jackie can dedicate herself to the group.
We're grateful that Jackie is a training health professional too because she can spot signs when the kids might not be well.
We are invoiced every month after letting Jackie know what hours we need and pay with childcare vouchers. Unlike other childminders, Jackie's Ts&Cs offer flexibility.
Olivia was on the waiting list for a school much nearer to home however, we have declined as we couldn't leave such an amazing Childminder.
Jackie is a God send, who has opened up her beautiful home to care for her children and together with her family is very welcoming and kind.
Thank you Jackie!!xxx

Jackie is looking after my 3 children in the school holidays, myself and my children honestly couldn't be more happier! They are so excited in the morning to be going to Jackie's house it's lovely.
I enjoy collect the children after work and hearing all the lovely things they have been up to on a daily basis from trips to the park, making cookies or playing in the woods.
I would most defiantly recommend Jackie to anyone who is looking for a happy, caring, fun and loving chilminder she sure is the best! :)

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!
