I sent my children to jacqui's back in 2009 when my eldest started nursery school she had been recommended by a neighbour. Girls settled in really well and never have an issue. I even sent my son from about 9 months. My children felt safe with jacqui, she also had activities for them or trips out ie playgroup, picnics or farm visits etc, My youngest daughter become good friends with Jacqui's daughter they went to school together and have remained friends. I totally trust jacqui and had no concerned with her welfare with caring for my children.

After searching forever and being given a glowing review we decided in 2023 to send my oldest to Jacqui when i was ready to go back to work & that was the best decision we have ever made & now my youngest has also started this year! (7 months) I also work within the care sector and can confidently say her standards are just impeccable!!!
I have nothing but amazing things to say,
Jacqui has been extremely supportive twice now when I’ve gone back after mat leave, she has made the transition for both them and me easy, and always does her upmost to accommodate my boys ( for example…Both boys have/had a CMPA/CMA allergy)
I’ve never once had an issue & she always goes above & beyond for my boys & all the other littles that go.
She always has fun days out planned (farms, soft plays, play groups, a special visit with Santa at Xmas) they are always doing fun activities ( painting, coloring, building,) My oldest loves going so much he doesn’t even say bye now he runs through and shuts the door on us! 😅
Both myself & my partner have said time & time again how happy we are they go to her and how relaxed & content we feel knowing they are receiving the best care & having the most fun whilst we are working.
We have also seen especially with my oldest who’s been there nearly 2 years the amount of progress he has made.
In more simple words Jacqui is the most thoughtful, kind, caring person I have ever met and wouldn’t wish to send my boys anywhere else & if we were to have anymore we most certainly would want them to go to Jacqui!

My little boy came to Jacqui when I returned to work after maternity leave and stayed with her for a couple of years before he started school recently - I genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Jacqui is lovely, she’s brilliant with all kids, her house is amazing and she’s always taking them on days out. My boy is shy and can be quite moody, but every day I picked him up he was smiling we never had any issues whatsoever. He ate super well at her house too and I was worried about that initially because he could be fussy for us/family members, so that was a weight off my mind. I am expecting another baby this year and will absolutely be sending him to Jacquis if she has space when my maternity leave finishes again (I hope so!) as I trust her completely. Thank you so much ☺️

Jacqui has been an amazing childminder for as long as I can remember, she has looked after my little girl on numerous occasions, taken her out on lovely day trips, playgroups, activities at her home, which I must add her home is beautiful and clean, making her feel part of the family which is all you could ask for in your child’s life, my little girl loves Jacqui and she has had a huge impact on my little girls up bringing couldn’t thank you enough for making us feel welcome and making me feel happy and safe leaving my little girl. Thank you for everything you have done for us we will never forget you ❤️

My son was with Jacqui for 3 years and in that time he thrived met all his milestones and was the happiest boy . My son could be quite challenging but Jacqui was amazing with him . He went on lots of adventures and met new friends. He even asked for Jacqui at the weekends that's how much he enjoyed spending time with her . My son is now a confident boy who enjoys school life and this because he had the best start in life with Jacqui. I can never thank her enough.
I have friends who I recommend her to and they all say the same .

My son went to Jacqui from being 18 months old right through to starting reception and he loved every minute of his time there.
Jacqui always treated him as one of her own, and aa an 1st time Mum this was incredibly important to me.
She would go above and beyond to accommodate us every way possible.
His days were filled with brilliant activities whether that be in the house or out and about at play centres, farms, zoos, playgroups, everything you could wish for for your child.
Her family environment was lovely and her children and partner were amazing with Charlie too.
Safe to say all mine and Charlie’s needs were definitely met with Jacqui and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a Childminder in the area.
Charlie still asks to go back even now 😀

Our daughter was with Jacqui from 6 months old until she turned 4, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was always kept safe and well-cared for, and the love she received made it feel like she was part of the family.
The days were filled with exciting outings, fun activities, and playgroups that our daughter absolutely loved. We were always kept in the loop with photos and updates, which made us feel connected and reassured. our daughter thrived under her care she looked forward to going every day and now misses it dearly.
We are so grateful for the care and affection our daughter received. We couldn’t recommend Jacqui enough—she is simply amazing.
We deeply appreciate the positive impact that Jacqui has had on our daughter's early years.

Jacqui has been a great childminder and has really helped us to find the whole process relaxing and stress free. Our daughter was with Jacqui for 2 years before we moved away and she absolutely loved going, she always had a great time whilst there, I had no doubt she was safe and cared for and Jacqui always kept us up to date with how the kids were doing. Then after I had my son he joined also and they both skipped happily into Jacqui's every morning. She always took them out to playgroups and did activities with them and I loved it when they came home with artwork and things they had made whilst there. I was able to go back to work and know that they were both happy and if I had any worries when for instance on of the children were a bit poorly, I could always ring up and check or message and Jacqui would always reassure me straight away by sending photos of what they were up to and give me an update of how the day was going. We were sad to lose Jacqui but we moved far away so had to say goodbye. But we are extremely grateful for the care both my kids received whilst in her care. Couldn't recommend her enough.

Jacqui has been amazing from day one. She is so accommodating and genuinely cares for the children she looks after. Our son settled so well and absolutely loved going to Jacqui’s every day. He came on in leaps and bounds, he is so confident and happy! We loved seeing all the themed activities and crafts that Jacqui planned for the children, and even despite lockdown she would always find interesting things to keep them entertained. I would not hesitate to recommend Jacqui - she’s an absolute gem and such high quality childcare is hard to find!

My son has been with Jacqui for a couple of months now, he settled straight in and had a bond by the end of day 1! Jacqui has been so helpful and flexible during the corona virus and has done everything she can to ensure a safe bubble for my son. I would highly recommend.
