It was such a hard decision to send our daughter to a childminder at 14 months old. I was so nervous for her and worried about what she would experience and how she would settle in. Gemma could not have been a more perfect decision. She put our minds at peace, talked us through everything, sent us pictures of Isla at each session. She was always happy to answer our questions. Isla adores her and the smile on her face when she sees Gemma is just priceless. She always reaches out to Gemma and jumps into her arms when I hand her over at the start of the day. Isla comes home with a big smile on her face and chats about the things she’s been doing. She’s made friends there and has grown in confidence with dogs through being around Gemma’s two little ones.

Gemma is kind and thoughtful and when we had our second child she took Isla on for extra days instantly with no issue and was so helpful. This definitely helped Isla and meant the world to us to know that Isla had somewhere reliable and safe to go whilst I was in hospital.

I would recommend Gemma as a childminder to anyone and everyone. She is the best! She truly cares for the children and families she works with!
