Children benefit from a welcoming and safe environment, according to a recent inspection report. The childminder provides good-quality resources and assesses children's development accurately, challenging them appropriately. Strong partnerships with parents support continued learning at home. Areas for improvement include allowing children more time to process information and think creatively during activities, and establishing a targeted professional development program.

Finding Jackie to look after our son James was probably the best decision my wife and i have ever made, we had previously had a bad experience with a child minder so we were concerned about finding another. when we eventually found Jackie it was such a relief, James loves going to Jackie's he is totally relaxed in her home and enjoys staying with her, she is a warm, caring and professional in her approach to the children she cares for, i can honestly say i know when my son is with Jackie i can relax in the knowledge that he is safe and well cared for. For Jackie i believe from what i have seen that although she is running a business the care and love she shows the children she cares for go above and beyond good business, both James and Jackie have developed a bond that no ofsted report can measure. If you are looking for a safe loving and nurturing environment for your child i can wholeheartedly recommend Jackie
