Jacqui is an amazing childminder. Our daughter started with her a couple of months ago and settled in immediately. She has a wide variety of toys and activities for the children to get involved in, as well as a great outdoor space at home for them to enjoy. She also takes the kids out regularly to explore the local area and get lots of fresh air which is great. She is extremely reliable and we would recommend her to anyone ☺️
Jacqui is a brilliant childminder. She has a lovely setting with lots of variety in the toys and activities provided both indoors and outdoors. They also spend a lot of time at the local park (weather dependant). The children are regularly asked for their opinions and preferences around activities and snacks which makes them feel included and important. My daughter loves spending her time there before & after school and feels safe and well looked after. Communication is great as we get a daily update via phone and all other queries are answered promptly and accurately. Highly recommended.
