Gems Childcare's Reviews

Helped me raise a confident girl

I definitely made the right choice sending my daughter to Gemma. My daughter have become a very confident girl from a timid little one. I would surely recommend Gemma as she had a very personal approach in childminding. It was such an exciting time for me and my partner when my daughter started taking some of her artworks home. We will definitely miss seeing Gemma as LO started her new journey in a nursery setting.

Thank you for your lovely review it was a joy to care for Isla.

Excellent Childcare

My daughter has been in Gemma's care now for over a year and I am absolutely delighted. Gemma is not only a natural with children, she provides a wonderful range of activities that are both fun and educational, including her lovely garden. Each child's development is logged and shared with the parents including photos along the way. The younger children have a communication book which is a lovely way to keep parents involved. I recently went back to work full time and knowing that Lilian was in safe and caring hands made it a lot easier for me. I would have no problem recommending Gems Childcare to anyone, I can't fault it. Thank you Gemma!! x

Thank you for your lovely feedback x

Gemma is wonderful! My little boy has adored his t

My little boy has been with Gemma for the past year and has left her care for Nursery School a very polite, loving and clever young man! Gemma's level of care is fantastic! Days out, trips to playgroup, making things, creating and playing. We will truly miss her as Bobbys childminder and I highly recommend her to anybody wanting to leave their child with someone who is 5* in the role. Can't wait to pop my next little baby in with her so she can have the same fantastic experience my Son has had! x

Thank you Laura for such a lovely review, I've loved caring for Bobby and I'd be honoured to look after your new baby in the future x

Great childminder!

My son Jack has been with Gemma since January 2014. He started as 4 half days a week and is now going up to 3 full days. Both my husband and I couldn't be happier with the care that Gemma provides. She is an excellent childminder! Jack is happy and content and he settled really quickly from the beginning. The whole process made going back to work a lot easier. She provides stimulating and engaging activities for the children in a caring, warm atmosphere. The daily diary and learning journal keep us informed about everything Jack is doing. I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for childcare.

Thank you for your lovely comments.

Childminder review.

My two year old spends four days a week with Gemma and we couldn't ask for a more perfect childminder. She provides a wonderful home from home environment with my daughter took to straight away and does fabulous activities with the children.
The diary gemma keeps for each child for the parent to read at the end of each day is a lovely touch and let's you know what your child has been up to.
Just a brilliant childminder.

Home from home

Having looked very hard, it was such a relief to find a Childminder as good as Gemma to look after my daughter Lily. I instantly knew as I walked through the door due to the "home from home" feeling and really had made up my mind that this was the place for Lily when I returned to work. Lily settled in instantly due to the loving, caring and fun environment that Gemma provides. Lily especially loves the outings that Gemma takes her on daily and in the last month alone has enjoyed visiting the farm, Buxton and the airport to name just a few places. Lily is truly cared for and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her to any parent.
