Jemma's 5 Star Reviews

We found the pefect childminder for our son!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jemma. From the very beginning, she has been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in my sons wellbeing and happiness.

Before choosing Jemma, we visited other childcare settings, and while the staff were lovely, we didn’t get the same sense of comfort and reassurance that we felt with her. With Jemma, it immediately felt right calm, nurturing, and truly like a home-from-home.

As first time parents, we were understandably nervous about starting childcare, but Jemma made the whole process easy and made us feel so comfortable. She took the time to ensure my son settled in properly, which made such a difference, and it’s clear how much she cares about the children in her care.

My son initially felt a little sad at drop-off, which is completely natural, but Jemma handles this so gently and reassuringly. She comforts him so well, and he comes around very quickly. Knowing he is supported like that makes it so much easier, and I genuinely couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else.

The level of attention and care she provides is outstanding. She keeps us updated throughout the day, which gives us real peace of mind, and it’s obvious how much thought goes into everything she does. My son absolutely adores her and often asks for her when he isn't with her which says everything.

We also really value the environment she creates, she provides home cooked meals and snacks throughout the day, plans engaging activities, and she takes the children out everyday, giving them a wide range of experiences.

Most importantly, we trust Jemma completely. Knowing Freddie is safe, happy, and so well cared for means everything to us.

We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail. Its so important to me that children feel safe and supported in my care and that parents feel a sense of reasurance and deep trust. I'm so pleased that you and your little one are happy. Its an honour to care for him and I'm so glad to be his childminder.

Amazing child centred care provider

I am very selective about who I leave my 18 month old son with as I have levels of anxiety surrounding leaving him.
When I have left him with Jemma, she has given me plenty of reassurance and updates. Jemma provides nurturing child centered care, which is something I appreciate as I know I would always be contacted in the event of him being very distressed. She listens to my preferences in terms of how to proceed with nap time and what creams I like to use use etc and she takes time to really get to know the individual needs of your child. I feel so confident leaving my son with Jemma, knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing space. Additionally, the setting is incredibly clean and the food provided is healthy and fresh.

Amazing experience

We were incredibly lucky to have such an amazing babysitter for our daughter. From day one, she made me feel completely reassured that everything was always okay, which meant the world to me as a parent. She was attentive, caring, and truly invested in my daughter’s well-being.

She always made sure she ate healthy meals, kept her entertained with fun and engaging activities, and actively supported her development. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and my daughter absolutely loved spending time with her. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
