"The childminder has developed excellent approaches to involving children and families in developing all aspects of her service. This has resulted in children and parents feeling respected and included in decisions that affect them. The childminder has exemplary practice in promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of children in her care. She works in partnership with parents to ensure that children's needs are met and to achieve positive outcomes. Children learn and achieve through experiencing a well-planned, stimulating and fun programme of activities."
Extract from Care Inspectorate Inspection Report 2014.
"Mrs McGurk provides a child minding service which is highly valued by parents using the service. We found that children are very well cared for in a comfortable and welcoming home environment where they experienced a wide range of activities suited to their age and stage of development.
Strengths of the service included the attention given to children's overall care and support, the excellent range of activities and experiences provided for children and effective communication between the childminder and the children and families using the service."

Regulation of Children Care Services
The Care Inspectorate are the independent regulator of social care and social work services across Scotland.
They stringently regulate, inspect and support improvement of care, social work and child protection services for the benefit of the people who use them. Various kinds of organisations provide the services they regulate, including childminders.
This includes regularly inspecting and providing grades of between 1 and 6 (with 6 being excellent) to services for various quality themes, such as Quality of Care. Jacquelines Childminding Service, was provided with excellent (6) gradings across all the inspected quality themes on the last inspection (2018) and has maintained this high standard from each of the previous inspections undertaken by the Care Inspectorate.
