About Me

Hi, I'm Gemma, an Ofsted registered childminder, a fully qualified teacher, and a mummy of two. Bright Sprout Childcare is a warm, welcoming home-from-home setting, with a big focus on being outdoors, baking, and learning through play.

My Experience

I have around 10 years experience in the education sector, as well as having two children of my own, currently at primary school. I have direct and personal experience with children with SEND, working with them directly and offering family support strategies within school settings. My son also has Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and Dyslexia, so I have a firm, first-hand experience of how to support these additional needs and provide a nurturing, inclusive learning environment to help your little ones grow with confidence and independence. I have tutoring experience and offer private or small group sessions during the week, but we also have a calm/homework help time during the day-to-day of Bright Sprout Childcare. I have a firm belief that being outdoors and in nature can have a positive impact on our general well-being, so a big part of our day is spent outdoors at our setting.

My Qualifications

I am a designated safeguarding lead, have pediatric first aid certification, and 5 star food safety and hygiene certification. My background is in Psychology, receiving a first class honors degree in Child Development. I also have a National Professional Qualification in Senior Leadership.

My Availability

We open at 7.15am and close at 5.30pm term time, although additional hours can be requested ad hoc, subject to availability. We also offer holiday camps that run from 8am to 4pm, also bookable ad hoc.

Most incredible childminder around 🥰

5 stars

Gemma is incredible. Our son, who is very shy absolutely adores her and cannot wait to go back from the minute he leaves.
Gemma truly makes the setting ideal for the children she has, tailoring it to each individual need - if our boy is there, she always ensures there are cars and water play available and I think part of the reason he settled immediately was her care and compassion in every single thing she does!
He is absolutely thriving in the nurturing, supporting environment Gemma provides and we couldn't be more comfortable leaving him with somebody ❤️
Thank you Gemma, we can't wait for all the adventures Arthur will share with you 🫂
