About Me

I am an Ofsted registered Childminder and I live with my husband and our three children who are all of school age. We live on a working farm site and childcare is delivered from my home at Chapel Lane Childcare, we have pets including two dogs, eight chickens and two rabbits.

I am naturally very nurturing, I love working with children and get so much joy from seeing them progress. We love spending our days learning through lots of messy play and enjoying the great outdoors!

I accept 9 month, 2 and 3 year old funding. I offer mainly term time only contracts, with the addition of some school holiday care.

My Experience

I have worked in childcare for over 20 years in schools, nurseries and children’s centres, however childminding has been my passion for the past 12 years.

5 stars

I cannot recommend Gemma enough she has provided first class care to both of our children and has been so flexible when needed. Our children were happy in her care and would often talk about all the lovely things they had been up to throughout the day.

Both children were young babies when they started going to Gemma’s, her experience with young children shone through and she was so nurturing towards them. She kept me updated on their progress and supported us with their development.

They were very well prepared for school and transitioned smoothly but they still miss Gemma lots and talk fondly of their early years spent with her.

A wonderful person

5 stars

Gemma is a superstar!
My daughter has been with Gemma for 6 months now and she is coming on leaps and bounds. Gemma is so loving and always makes my daughter feel at home, she comes home and loves to tell me what fun she’s had that day.
We couldn’t ask for a better childminder ❤️

Gemma is amazing!!

5 stars

Gemma is such a lovely person, I sent both of my children to her from a very young age and she brought them on in leaps and bounds, they never cried or moaned when I left them in her care in fact both of them couldn't wait to go back to see her and the other children she cared for. I can’t thank Gemma enough she played such a big part in there early years.

Emergency childcare.

5 stars

I used Gemma when my childminder was ill for emergency care.
Gemma was an instant hit with my little one and after seconds of meeting her he was holding his hands out. He had a great couple of days and I felt confident leaving him in such safe hands.

A Truly Wonderful Childminder a 💎

5 stars

My daughter went to Gemmas for a year before going to reception, she got so much out of it, she loved all the activities and trips she did with Gemma and spending time at Gemmas with the other children. Gemma is so caring as well as fun and kind, my daughter didn’t want to leave to go to school, though ironically I feel Gemma prepared her fantastic and she went in on her first day confident and with no tears. She talks about her time at Gemma’s with lots of fondness and joy !

Amazing childminder

5 stars

My son goes to Gemma’s twice a week and I wouldn’t have it any other way. His development has come on heaps. She does so may activities with him and keeps me updated with photos and messages all the time. My son loves the interaction with the other children Gemma looks after.. he has always come home and tells me what he has done in the day. Highly recommend Gemma for any of your childminding needs.

I feel so comfortable leaving my little girl with Gemma. She has been going to her since she was 6 months old and loves being there. She keeps me updated on what she does throughout the day sending me pictures etc. Highly recommend Gemma!

We just can’t say Goodbye to Gemma

5 stars

Gemma has been my childcare provider for my son since he was 8 months old. He is now 4 years old and starts reception this year. My son absolutely adores Gemma and so do I, he loves being with her and it is such a comforting feeling as a mother to know your child is happy when they aren’t with you. So happy that my son doesn’t go to after school club with his brothers he still goes to Gemma, we both don’t want to say goodbye, she is a great childminder and you can see that she is passionate about it and loves what she does. Thank you Gemma!

Wonderful Childminder

5 stars

I cannot praise Gemma highly enough. I feel so lucky to have found her and my 3yr old loves her and enjoys being with her and the other kids. She is incredibly caring and attentive and professional. I know he is in safe hands and is happy. She has also really helped in his development.
