About Me

My name is Gemma and I am a Ofsted registered Childminder based in the Laverstock area.

I have 6 year experience in childcare and come from 3 generations of childminders with both my Grandmother and mum being childminders for over 17 year. So you could say it’s in my blood . I live with my Husband, my 9 year old daughter and 7 year old Son and together we offer a welcoming, loving home.

I believe Children develop best in their early years when they feel safe and happy in their environment and have the freedom to learn though discovery and play. Which is why I offer a home form home environment, with lots of fun, interesting resources, which allow children to explore developing their creativity and imagination. We also have access to a garden with a mud kitchen, plus much more and a park and the downs just feet away from the house.

On top of this I regularly take the children on outings to various places such as National trust venues, the new forest, the library, English heritage venues plus others. We often love to go on nature walks, where we look for frogs, go berries picking, look for butterflies, or take part in natural treasures huts and enjoy many exciting adventures together. On occasions these visits are accompanied by other registered childminders offering the children the chances to socialise with others around the same age.
