About Me

Hello, my name is Gemma, and I am a warm, patient, and experienced childcare professional based in Chislehurst. I have 16 years of experience as a private nanny and have been childminding for 12 years, caring for children from newborn to 10 years old, including several sets of twins.

I am calm, organised, and nurturing, and I love helping children feel safe, confident, and happy in their early years

I provide a safe, stimulating, and loving environment that supports the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and positive relationships.

Activities include:
• Outdoor walks, park visits, and nature exploration
• Regular trips to forest school and local playgroups, library and museums
• Arts and crafts, sensory play, and creative activities
• Reading, songs, and early phonics support
• Educational games to support early maths and language
• Support with routines, independence, and social skills

I tailor activities to each child’s interests and stage of development and keep parents updated on their child’s day and progress.
