My son goes to Gemma 3 days a week and loves it there! I feel comfortable going to work knowing he’s being well looked after and having lots of fun.
Gemma made me feel at ease in the early days and gives daily updates of what he’s getting up to.
I would highly recommend Gemma, she’s friendly and professional

My child was with Little Gems Childminding for 11 months. We left due to moving out the area.
The play area is a tidy and well presented area that's pleasingly decorated and Gemma and her assistant are constantly engaging the children in age appropriate play, often based around current events. I am always pleased with her focus on hygiene and manners with the children.Even though Gemma obviously has other children in her care, she manages to make you and your child feel that they are her priority.
Our son thrived in his time with Gemma. I would entirely recommend her to any parent.
