Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 8 reviews)

Gemma is a very understanding and empathetic individual who took care of my three year old son from the age of one.
Gemma helped to toilet train him and gave him a homely environment in which he felt loved and cared for.
Gemma was like an older sister to me and as a young mum myself I was able to confide in her about anything my son was struggling with.

Gemma is an excellent childminder. When I first met Gemma, I loved the fact that she is very relaxed, flexible
and works with a small group of children.

My son has been going to Gemma since he was 17 month old and I felt Gemma’s house was the perfect setting for him to grow and develop.

My son is nearly 3 year old now and he still looks forward to going to Gemma’s house every single day. He loves her homely setting and all the activities he does with her. He even wants to go to Gemma on weekends which tells me he’s really happy and been looked after there.

Gemma is very reliable and has been the perfect choice for our family.

I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a great childminder.

Gemma is an excellent childminder who has made our son feel happy and safe from the first day. He looks forward to seeing her and I have always felt confident he is in safe hands.

Gemma is reliable, flexible and has great communication which has been really important for us as a family.

Gemma’s family home is the perfect setting as a home away from home. She always tries to include my son’s favourite toys and encourages him to try new activities too.

I have been very happy with her service.

Thank you for a lovely review xx

Gemma is a lovely childminder. Her calming nature ensures that our daughter Ava (aged 2) feels at home and safe. Gemma always looks at new ways of engaging Ava and she uses artistic and imaginative activities which keep her interested. Gemma connects well with nature and Ava learns through this medium with games and art with child lead play. Gemma keeps Ava interested with games that are fun and educational and she provides a real home from home setting. 5 stars!

Gemma looked after our daughter from the age of 6 months. From day one she made us feel at ease and accommodated a flexible approach for our childcare needs. Our daughter was always excited to go to Gemma and I loved the fact it was a home from home atmosphere. Gemma will always be our first go to person if we need childcare again in the future.

Our eldest daughter was with Gemma from aged 2 and a half to 5 years of age. Gemma is incredibly flexible, reliable and above all very caring. Our daughter became immersed in Gemma's family and I don't believe she ever felt she was in a childcare environment, rather one of the family. She adores Gemma's children and learnt a huge amount from playing with children older and younger than herself. From our perspective as parents it was "easy", we knew our daughter was collected on time from nursery initially and then school, we knew she was eating properly and we knew that she was safe. Gemma encouraged learning in line with EYFS but would never be stuck at home: excursions included the wetlands centre, swimming and even the cable car in East London. Gemma was always flexible with timing and days wherever she could be and even looked after our daughter during her own family party when we were stuck. Our only disappointment is that Gemma is now too far away to look after our other daughter.

My daughter was with Gemma from the age of 9 months until age 5 and was treated like one of the family. Her older brother joined her after school for the last couple of years and also enjoyed his time with Gemma. She caters for all ages and provides nutritious food and outdoor activities and excursions. As a busy working mum, it was amazing to always be able to rely on Gemma who was considerate, helpful and an excellent communicator. Highly recommended.

Gemma was our part-time nanny for one year. She left because her family relocated. We were very sorry to say goodbye to Gemma! She was incredibly reliable (did not miss a single day of work) and very easygoing; nothing fazed her. Our two girls (3 and 5 years) warmed to her and we quickly got into an easy routine. As a mum of 3 girls herself, Gemma knows how to multi-task and run a household; she knows what's important and what isn't. Our girls were well cared for by Gemma and we will miss her.
