Hi, my name is Elaine and I am the founder of Jumping Jacks. I started Jumping Jacks in 1997 and have been running the business for over 18 years. I am a qualified nursery nurse and have worked in some of the local nurseries in Hornchurch. I am very passionate about children and love what I do, so being able to provide children with the opportunities to grow and learn is wonderful. I have two grown up children of my own and have experienced the difficult transition that some children face when starting pre-school. Leaving a setting and starting a new one can be a daunting and unsettling experience for any child. At Jumping Jacks children can play and explore, make new relationships and experience new learning. These skills are vital for children to learn to ensure they experience a smooth transition into pre-school.  Jumping Jacks is the ideal stepping stone between home and a pre-school setting. Previous customers have agreed that we create a friendly atmosphere where they are able to share quality time with their child. Many of our parents and carers have made new and lasting friendships as they share the experiences of all the trials and tribulations involved in parenting.
