Brilliant childminder!

I highly recommend Gemma who looked after our daughter for 3 years since she was 10 months.

After a disappointing experience at a local nursery, we were very lucky to find Gemma at a short notice and to get all her support for a better start and more individual approach.

Gemma is trustworthy, professional and with lot of experience.
She is also very flexible and accommodating, which is an invaluable benefit for us working parents with a busy schedule and stressful commuting.

Her home is lovely and welcoming with a nice outside space. Daily routine is well organized and our daughter was eating and sleeping with no problems. Gemma makes sure to follow all policies and procedures to ensure the children in her care are safe and happy. Communication is also very good and prompt, with daily pictures, videos and honest and relevant updates.
 
She has a good variety of activities to keep the children busy and entertained both at home, in the park, soft play, toddlers groups, farm. We particularly like the days with crafts or activities in connection to specific celebrations or events i.e. national days, Halloween, Christmas, World book day etc.

Our daughter has made good progress for her age and she has always been happy and excited at drop off. She has learnt numbers, alphabet, colours and shapes and many songs and rhymes. She is now also capable or writing her full name with no help!
She is now ready to start school as a confident and sociable girl.

Million thanks again Gemma for taking such a good care of out precious daughter!
