It wasn’t always in our plan for our daughter to go to a childminder. We’d got a place at nursery, and then covid happened. The nursery closed around 3 weeks before I was due to go back to work - panic set it! The council were so helpful and pointed us in the direction of Jackie. A local childminder with over 25 year’s experience.
We went to meet Jackie at her home within a couple of days of contacting her. We were instantly at ease, being in her home in that moment just felt right. She made us feel calm and welcomed, and our daughter seemed to take to Jackie straight away and we made the decision on the spot to accept the emergency placement with Jackie. That emergency placement turned into over 3 years of childcare with Jackie, and what an amazing time it has been. As soon as we found out we were expecting our second child we knew instantly that we wanted them to join Jackie’s childminding setting when I returned to work. Our daughter has grown into a confident 4 year old, she has learnt so much during her time spent within Jackie’s setting. Jackie has provided a caring, compassionate, homely and safe environment for our daughter and all other children under her care to flourish.
