I don’t know where to start - Gemma is just amazing.
Choosing someone to look after your child, your most precious possession is such a hard and scary task.
The thought of leaving your child with someone and trusting them is huge. As soon as we viewed Gemmas setting we felt at home. I am soo pleased we found her! I feel lucky in fact!!
My daughter has been there for just over a year now and she is absolutely thriving.
She has learnt so much a perfect mix of learning and fun!
Gemma is so warm and kind, nothing is too much and you can see how much effort and detail she puts into everything she does!
My daughter adores her, they have a special bond and so do we!
I hope Gemma knows how special she is to us and hope we stay in each others lives even after!

My daughter was with Gemma until she started school. The home style environment and activities were perfect for her, and there was never a day where she didn’t want to go!
We truly appreciate the level of care provided, and the way Gemma gets to know each child’s needs, development areas and little quirks! It makes all the difference.
Regular photo and text updates via WhatsApp so appreciated too.

Our daughter started just before her first birthday and stayed until she was ready for school, and she loved going to Gemma’s. Even now, she still talks about her time there and often asks when she can go back!
The environment provided was very much a home environment but with activities provided that were thoughtful and perfectly suited to her age as she grew. She developed and progressed well with the support from Gemma.
We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the day; it was so reassuring to see what she was getting up to and made us feel part of her day.
We are grateful for the care, the environment and support she received during those formative years.
I’m also grateful I have a safe and welcoming place for her to go should I need help during the school holidays.
