Gemma took care of my sons when they were 3- and 1-years-old. She is incredibly kind, patient and intuitive with children and an inspiration to me as a parent with her approach to childcare. She recognised the very different personalities of my sons adapting activities to their individual needs and developmental stages. When my older son struggled with confidence speaking she was inspirational in supporting him and when my younger son had difficulty napping she was so patient and comforting he’d fall asleep in her arms. She has a lovely garden with a mud kitchen and water play and an excellent range of developmental toys and sensory books. Most importantly for me, when my sons were with Gemma, I felt they became part of her family; always loved, valued and emotionally secure. I’m enormously grateful to her for this care and highly recommend her as a childminder but much more beyond this.
