Gina has been an integral part of our lives for the past three years, caring for our son on a full-time basis since he was just one year old. From the very beginning, she has shown an extraordinary level of care, warmth, and dedication that goes far beyond what we could have hoped for.

Our son absolutely adores Gina and treats her like a true member of the family. He is always excited to go to her house, eagerly looking forward to the fun-filled activities they will do together each day. Whether it's creative play, outdoor adventures, trips out, or simply spending time together, Gina brings so much thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, and joy to everything she does. Her home is a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where our son has truly thrived.

Over these years, Gina has shown remarkable flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile and provided so much support to our family, and we genuinely believe she has brought out the very best in our son. Her care has been foundational to his development, and we owe her so much.

Gina has been also providing ad-hoc after-school and holiday care for our older daughter, who has formed a wonderful bond with her as well. We gave our daughter the choice between attending an after-school club or going to Gina’s—and she has repeatedly and without hesitation chosen Gina every time. That speaks volumes about the kind of loving, engaging, and trusted presence Gina has become in both of our children's lives.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as special as Gina. She has given us total peace of mind and has provided our children with a truly beautiful and enriching start. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for not just a childminder, but a genuine partner in their child’s care and development.

Gina looked after both my boys from them being babies up until school age. She has been such a fundamental part of my boys growing up and looked after them as if they were her own children. They really formed such a special bond with her.

They were spoilt with lots of lovely home cooked meals and enjoyed activities such as arts and crafts, baking and trips to the park/playgroups. Gina always went above and beyond! They really loved going to Gina’s and I always knew they were in the best possible hands when they were with her. She’s extremely reliable and such a warm genuine person and the only one that can keep my 2 rowdy boys in check. I can’t recommend her enough!

I honestly do not know what we would have done without Gina. She is amazing, and it’s been a home from home for my two boys. My boys have been there for 6. and half years and has flourished.
Highly recommend!

We have been with Gina for over 6years, She provides a caring environment for my 2 Sons. She is reliable, lovely and caring. I would consider Gina as part of the family. We love and trust her whole heartedly with our Children. A heads up that the carrot cake she makes with the kids is fantastic too!
