My Summary
About Me
Hello, As a mother of three I understand the importance of great quality child care to ensure your children are happy, content and developing in a safe stimulating environment.
I am a registered childminder with PACEY.
I also care for children with additional needs on the weekend.
I have a newly equipped play room leading on to my back garden that has been assessed by CSSIW. I have my own risk assessment and fire safety check procedures. I use local play groups, leisure centres, indoor play areas, parks, libraries and other facilities.
Being a child-minder is one of the most rewarding jobs, I take it very seriously to ensure I look after you’re children the very best way.
My Experience
I have over twenty years childminding experience. I am experienced in working with special needs on the weekends.

My little boy has been going to Gill’s for over a year now. He had such a good time there every week. Gill is the most patient, lovely person and my little one loves all the different toys and activities he gets to play with. I recently had another baby so we stopped taking my son for a while. He really missed her and wanted to go and see her every time we walked past her street. He recently went back a few mornings a week and he goes skipping in and out with joy. Gill’s lovely daughters help with the childminding and are also so attentive and caring to my son. It’s no wonder he loves going there so much! My son was a late walker and Gill was amazing at supporting him in his development. The quieter setting suited him over nursery as he was able to have tailored care to support with his movement when he was behind other kids his age. Gill is also incredibly flexible and relaxed if you drop off or pick up a bit late, which is a Godsend for us when life is so busy with two little ones and when my work schedule could be a bit changeable. She is down the road from us so she ticks the box for convenience as well as amazing childcare. I wanted to write this review so she gets the recognition she deserves! She’s amazing! I was so nervous about putting my little one in childcare and she’s made it so much easier!!
