Gemma has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for my daughter Samaira. She was recommended to us by a friend, and I am so glad to have found her. My older daughter went to another childminder, and I have seen so many older settings, but by far, this was the best I could have found for Samaira.
Gemma has been very supportive through a very difficult phase of our family lives, available at short notice and always offering help where she could, and that means the world to me! Samaira was only 1 when she started, very shy, introvert, couldn't live without mummy, but she very very quickly settled at Gemma's. Gemma's warmth, love, care for the children attracts them to her.

She is always out and about, which I really liked, as my daughter could experience new places - playgrounds, playgroups, soft plays, farms... Gemma always treated Samaira as her own, from personalised bottles, flannel, name card to a personalised leaving gift and note, she always made our daughter feel so loved.
With Gemma, I always knew my daughter was in safe hands, and that was very important for me.
Gemma does embed principles, manners, good habits in her mindees as well, which is rare and very valuable for my daughter.

I can't thank you enough Gemma for being the best childminder for my daughter in her early years where she was absorbing so much around her, she has learnt wonderful things from you, THANK YOU! Wish I found you earlier for my older daughter too.
