Needed a babysitter for 2 days for my 2 year old babygirl and GMB was very flexible with the times, very warm, and supportive to my baby; her home is also very clean and tidy. She updated me regularly which made me feel at ease. Would recommend

Cotema is nothing short of fantastic! She cares for my little girl as she cares for her own children. She is invested in her education and development, and her general wellbeing.
Since Cotema has been looking after my daughter, she's been flexible with any changes and always goes the extra mile.
She prepares fresh, healthy and varied food every day and even has reward charts for every child.
If you are looking for a professional childminder with a genuine caring and kind hearted personality, look no further!

My daughter has been with GMB for almost 3 months, she's very happy and comfortable with the setting. GMB is like her second home, as soon as she see her she wants to go in straight away. GMB definitely has the way of making children's feel loved, cared for etc,,, and as a mum I want to see nothing more. I would 100% recommend GMB to anyone 😊

Hello rose, thank you for your review, I am very happy to know that you are happy with the service that I provide for you and your daughter, it is a pleasure to have your little girl she is a lovely an energetic young girl, since she started with me she has developed so much and making great progress in all area of her milestone development.
I had really struggled to find a childminder who is flexible to our needs. Cotema was very accomodating. She had helped my son in ll the ways . it's such a relief to see my son cling to her so well when I drop him there. I would really recommend her to others. she is very patient and kind. Also takes the kids for all outdoor activities and keeps them active.

I can recommend Cotema to all parents! We did struggle to find someone who could be flexible with looking after our kids and then we find Cotema. She is such a lovely person, our kids love her and the time they spent with her. She is very professional and kind person. She understand our needs and our kids. I feel very comfortable to leave my kids with her and I will happily use her service in the future.

Hi amie, thank you for your review.
I have never used a Childminder before so I was very nervous at first. Cotema was very friendly and professional. She kept me updated throughout the day to put my mind at ease. I have two girls (7yrs and 11 months) and my 7 year old is already looking forward to her next stay with Cotema and her lovely kids. I will definitely use her service again in future.

Hi Silvie, Thank for your review. I am happy that you and your little boy enjoyed my service. I will continue to provide a good service for you and your son. And for all the other service users.
I have been using Cotema’s childcare services since July and she offers excellent care to my baby girl. Cotema is extremely thorough, and ensures my little one is looked after well. Her setting is always tidy and my child’s safety is her priority. I feel comfortable leaving my little one there as Cotema would send updates to me from time to time. Overall a fantastic experience.
