Gina is what you need if you want home from home childcare. My not so little boy is off to school soon and Gina provided the most amazing care for him before goes to school. She loved him like he was hers and I am so grateful for that.
Gina has a wide range of food available through out the day between breakfast, picnics, hot meals and snacks.
Gina provides a variety of activities and trips out for my little boy, he was lucky to go to so many play groups, playgrounds, nature walks, animal places and many more. He has seen and done so much.
My little boy still always talks about Gina and her family and is always so excited when he sees her. Thank you so much Gina for giving my little boy the best start in life before starting school.

Gina helped look after my 2 year old son whilst our regular childminder was on a few months sick leave.
Gina was brilliant and was so warm and welcoming, he was a little nervous at first with a new drop off but soon come round to the idea and he really enjoyed it there. Gina took him out on lots of fun day trips and he was well looked after. I got regular activity updates and pictures of him having fun which put my mind at rest.
He regularly asks about Gina even though he no longer attends. He made some lovely friends too!
Iād highly recommend her to anyone wanting a home from home setting with a childminder who generally cares! Thank you Gina

We have had the pleasure of Gina caring for our children since 2019, she has taught, cared about loved my children as I do and this reflects with their excitement of attending there. They go in happy and come out happy what more does a parent want!
Gina provides daily updates of photos of the children's adventures and you can see the variety of activities they get up to and just how much fun they are having. Gina is very flexible and understanding and always goes an extra mile to help and accommodate. My eldest son cried when he had to leave to go to school, Gina took him to the beach this summer and he had the best time and was over the moon he was able to go back for a fun filled day!
We really hit the jackpot with Gina and I would choose her again and again to care for our children and wouldn't recommend anyone else but her!!
Her two children are lovely and always say hello to us when out and about they have a caring nature just like their mummy. Gina is gold xx

Laura ā¤ļø Thank you for your lovely words. Your children bring me joy and it makes my job easy when I have parents like you too ššš Xx
I canāt tell you how anxious I was returning to work after my first born. I spent several weeks looking at various options but just couldnāt find anyone or anything that made me feel truly comfortableā¦ until I found Gina. From our first meeting back in December 2016 to our last day in August 2021, I knew that if I couldnāt leave my children with family then there was no one else I would trust more than her.
Gina is kind, caring and fun loving, to us she wasnāt just a childminder, she became a friend. My children loved every day they spent with her and her family. They enjoyed baking with her, Christmas pyjama parties, garden parties, painting and glueing and glittering, dressing up and trips to the park. They made cards for special occasions, had days at the farm and picnics with friends. Gina helped with potty training, mastering day time naps and fussy eating aswell as helping to teach number, colours and nursery rhymes. The list is endless!
I cannot recommend her enough, it was an absolute blast for my children and a privilege (and in all honesty a relief for me!) to have her in our lives.

We met Gina in March 2019 after a really awful experience with a previous childminder and I was quickly put at ease by Gina's kind, caring nature. She was willing to go above and beyond to ensure my little boy had a smooth transition to his new wonderful setting wherein he was cared for in a loving, warm and fun environment. Gina has such a brilliant personality and has the children following at her feet wherever she goes.
Gina planned wonderful excursions for the little ones and had a great support network of fellow childminders in the area so that the children could learn social skills still in a home setting and she also did some wonderful arts and crafts at home too (I still have most of them saved up because they are so special).
I would highly recommend Gina to look after your precious children as if they were her own. I wish we could have kept Gina forever! ā¤ļø

Gina looked after my little girl for roughly 2 years and I couldnāt say a bad word! She is a dedicated childcare provider and will help you with any needs your child needs (help me with potty training!) Gina is outstanding at what she does and my daughter came on leaps and bounds in her care! My daughter still misses her now and talks about Gina and her children. Fantastic! Thank you Gina for everything!

My daughter is nearly three and was previously looked after by Gina for 2 years. Gina is the most thoughtful, caring and attentive childminder I have known.
Gina ensured my daughter participated in many & various activities - such as educational sessions (reading, writing, colours, counting, nursery rhymes), painting, baking, role playing, making birthday cards, going to the farm, playgroups, parks - the list is endless (smile)! This was evidenced through pictures Gina took and sent to me every time my daughter engaged in an activity.
My daughter tends to be quite a handful; and Gina did not hesitate to discipline my daughter if necessary - as she has a unique way of doing this (& I've witnessed this) - which I believe is also important in regards to teaching children the difference between what is acceptable & what is not.
I am 100% sure & can confirm that anyone who has their child under Gina's care will be more than satisfied with the service she provides - as Gina truly enjoys and loves working with children - which is also evidenced by how happy your child will be.
My daughter and I will miss her immensely(!); and I wish her the best of success for all the lucky children who will be in her care in the future!

Gina minded our daughter from the age of 11 months until she was 27 months and she looked after her for 4 days per week. We have been extremely happy with the care our daughter has received and the great progress she has made whilst in Ginaās care with her development. Gina has made our daughter feel like she is part of their family, she is always so welcoming, her home is clean, well organised and our daughter always has great fun playing with the huge array of toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all of this, it is Ginaās warm and friendly approach which sets her apart from other child minders we have met.
Gina provides a wide, fun range of activities, my daughter loves going to the play group and play centres they go to on a weekly basis - she is always coming home with arts and crafts she has made! Gina always plans lovely activities to do around the different seasons ā Christmas, Easter and each month they have a theme that they focus on like āUnder the Seaā, āColoursā etc. Gina has a beautiful playroom at home and the children enjoy singing with Gina, making music, painting, baking, reading and dressing up. Gina regularly takes Isabella on trips out to the park, woodland walks, farm, circus, safari park to name only a few. Where Gina goes above and beyond is the little personal touches ā making birthday cards for mummy and daddy and grandparents, creating photo keyrings and magnets for motherās day and fatherās day ā we are always getting lovely little gifts that our daughter has made with Gina. Gina also sends us photos nearly every day with updates on what they have been up to, this has been a great comfort when at work as we can see how happy our daughter is.
We have been thoroughly happy with the care from Gina and I am certain that being in such a positive and happy environment has helped our daughter develop into a confident, self-assured and content little girl.
I would, without doubt recommend Gina as a fantastic and reliable child-minder. We are very sad that our daughter is finishing with Gina and hope to stay in contact as they have developed such a strong bond. I couldnāt have asked for a better care setting for our precious daughter.

It was such a task to find someone who I feel happy with to look after my baby son from so many candidates on the site. Luckily I found Gina and she is exactly what I had hoped. Gina is kind, warm, patient and caring. Her nursery teaching experience is very helpful too when it comes to play and food. She understands how hard it is for a mum to leave her baby to someone else, and has been really supportive and reassuring. It is lovely to see the photos and videos she took of my son eating and playing happily. I also very much appreciate the suggestions she's given me regarding my son's sleeping routine and childminding hours.
I won't hesitate to recommend Gina to any mum who wants to find someone they feel confident and comfortable with to look after their precious child.
