Below are the reviews that Julia has written.
Geraldine has been caring for our three children and has been a true blessing to our family for six years.
We first met Geraldine when my oldest son, now turning seven, was a baby. He immediately took to her and sat calmly and comfortably in her arms. It was clear from the outset that she is naturally wonderful with children. The setting was immaculately clean, and Geraldine herself was very calm and pleasant to talk to. We had a good feeling straight away.
We have had various experiences with childcare providers, but Geraldine never disappointed us. She was with us through the birth of both of our daughters and supported us during some of the most uncertain times, such as the arrival of a new baby. Throughout all these years, she was never late, always informed us well in advance about any time off, and even went above and beyond by trying to find a replacement when she was on holiday. This often worked out, as Geraldine has a wide support network of other childminders. As a result, the children in her care also had opportunities to socialise with peers, as she and other childminders regularly attended various activities together.
Geraldine is very physically fit, always on the move and full of energy. She proved wonderfully flexible during unpredictable times, such as hospital stays. At the same time, having successfully raised five children of her own, she is mature, patient, and deeply experienced. Her calm nature always put my children at ease. My youngest, who would not normally even allow my husband to take her into a different room from me, became so comfortable with Geraldine that she would look at the door and wait for her every morning!
We no longer required Geraldine’s services when I stopped working. Saying goodbye to her was hard. But we are certain that Geraldine will be of immense help to another family, just as she was to ours.
