Caring and Nurturing Environment

My 2 little girls are so fortunate to be in the care of Gemma for up to 3 days a week. They have been cared for in an extremely loving and caring home, learning life skills and manners I also instill in my own upbringing. My eldest is off to nursery and will miss Gemma and her family immensely, but she is going off with such strong ground roots. Not only has Gemma helped her become a caring, funny, compassionate little girl, she has also extended her love of learning and it has been a joy to recieve photos and assessments of her progress.
My youngest started just before lockdown and I was gutted she didnt get the early start with Gemma my eldest did. As restrictions lifted they both started back and Gemma has managed to continue to provide her fantastic services in a safe and reassuring environment. The girls get so much outdoor time and I'm confident in all the measures Gemma has in place during this unusual time.
I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a home from home for their children and I am already looking forward to my youngest going back full time after the holidays when I head back to my teaching assistant role.

Happy 16 month old

My daughter could not be happier in a child care setting. She has been with Gemma since she was 3 months old and from day one I’ve felt comfortable leaving her with Gemma.
Gemma has time for all her children and nothing brightens my day more than a quick photo in my lunch break of what my daughter has been up to. She is always socialising, communicating and learning and I love that Gemma shares the same parenting ideals as myself and supports any crazy methods I might be trying. I also really appreciate her tips for a first time mum!
Sometimes I notice my daughter doing a new skill and I know I have Gemma to thank (most recently using her water bottle to get water out to wash her hands 🤣)
Not only does Gemma care for my daughter but her fantastic family also love and care for her.
I will be gutted when the day comes when my daughter no longer needs to go to Gemma but I will definitely be sending any future children to her and I know she will always have time for my children, even when they are 18!

Update!

Since my son has been in Gemma's care for over a year now, I felt it was time for an update from my previous review. Still absolutely over the moon with Stanley being in Gemma's care. Stanley has just blossomed with her, she's taught him so many things, she's helped me with his behaviour as I previously struggled with it at home, even though he was good as gold for her. She keeps in good contact with his nursery setting so she knows exactly what milestones Stanley is at and which ones he needs to work for next. Always get a lovely welcoming when we arrive each morning, and there's not a day when Stanley hasn't enjoyed himself with Gemma. They're always going out, doing things, meeting up with other childminders and children, always having pictures sent to me on a daily basis so I can see what they've been up too. I'll be devestated when Stanley goes to school this coming September and he has to leave her, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma to anyone. X
