3 November 2021
An inspection report reveals a childminder who provides a safe, high-quality learning environment with an effectively organized curriculum. Children are eager to learn and benefit from strong partnerships with parents and schools. During the COVID-19 pandemic, learning continuity was maintained through shared ideas with parents. Pre-school children are well-prepared for school transition. Areas for improvement include providing more opportunities to learn about community diversity and enhancing questioning techniques to encourage deeper thinking.

Best childminder ever!

5 stars

Gemma has looked after my first boy teddy since he was 9 months old and now had my one year old Max.
They both love her to bits! Teddy asks to go there every morning which u love as I feel I can go to work guilt free !
Gemma is so reliable and flexible ! And genuinely cares for all her children.
Her calm patient nature definitely reflects in my boys and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
