Our son Jake has been with Georgie from 10 months old until he was 3 and a 1/4. She has played a huge part in his formative years and helped him to grow leaps and bounds.
The communication from Georgie is really good and we're always given good notice on what Jake will need on the day he is going to Georgies.
The kids in Georgies care are usually out and about somewhere and we always get lots of pictures and videos of what Jake has been up to on his adventures. Georgie has also been able to support us with issues with his speech and help to encourage growth in his speech.
Georgie has lots of pets, but this has been great for Jake and has enabled him to be at ease with all sorts of animals.
We would highly recommend Georgie to anyone looking for a prospective childminder. Jake is going to miss going to her set loads.
Great quality setting and range of activities. So friendly and accommodating. My daughter has thoroughly loved her time with Georgina.

Response by Georgina on 06/09/2022:
What a lovely summer we’ve had with your daughter. Thank you for the review!
Georgie is a fantastic childminder, her dedication to all the children in her care by providing a range of exciting activities to help ignite their passion for learning, is really wonderful to see.
Georgie is very attentive with our son Vincent and they have formed a great bond. Vincent is always chatting away about Georgie and what they get up to each day. It goes with out saying that Vincent has so much fun with Georgie, but I’ve particularly noticed how much he respects and trusts Georgie and she has helped him come on in leaps and bounds in all aspects of learning and development.
Georgie and her family are all really friendly and welcoming and the home from home setting makes for a relaxed and safe environment.
There are a variety of pets in the home, including nature. Just recently the children have watched the life cycle of butterflies and where able to release them all when the time was right. All of which helps Vincent to build confidence with animals/nature and helps him to learn all about them.
Georgie clocks up an impressive amount of time outdoors with all the children. There are the regular weekly local trips and then the more special day trips out. Vincent’s love of the outdoors has definitely grown since starting here.
Georgie regularly teams up with two other childminders for activities. I really like this particular aspect, as I think it offers opportunities for Vincent and all the children to be able to mix with a wider group of children and to form friendships with others they don’t see everyday.
Communication in all forms with Georgie is exceptional. Everyday while Vincent is in her care, we have regular updates in messages, voice notes, pictures and video’s. The picture/ video’s really do make us smile and the funny ones with Georgie’s commentary underneath are brilliant and do make us both laugh out loud on many an occasion.
The communication she uses with Vincent is brilliant, lots of patience and understanding of his character traits. If he has done something wrong, she interacts with him in a fair way so he can understand what’s happened and gives him a chance to say sorry and even help to fix the problem on occasion.
Georgie from the start has given clear written policies to cover every aspect of her childminding. This helped enormously for us as first time parents to understand what is expected from us and what we should expect from Georgie. Anytime updates are needed, again this is fully communicated and we are always invited to chat openly about any concerns we may have at any point, which is reassuring to have open lines of communication.
Any first aid issues that have arisen and Georgie is very quick to communicate what’s gone on with pictures and messages and updates throughout the day if needed. When we have requirements for prescriptions to be given like creams, Georgie has happily applied as required.
Lastly what I found particular useful for our family is the flexibility that Georgie can have Vincent on a Saturday, which has proven very useful on a hand full of occasion’s so far. I have found Georgie to be very accommodating and flexible when certain ad-hoc situations have arisen for us and this has worked both ways when Georgie has required a little flexibility from us here and there. Again it’s all down to good lines of communication we have with one another and as much as possible preplanning things so things aren’t left to the last minute. Although Georgie always does her best to help, even if some situations unfortunately have been last minute.
As first time parents and navigating our way through the joys of finding the right child care setting for Vincent and that suited our needs as a family. I can honestly say we have struck gold with Georgie and her family. It’s so lovely to see Vincent enjoy himself and feel at home with the whole family. It puts our minds at rest as parents to know Vincent is so well cared for.
Thank you so much Georgie for everything you do!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a detailed review! I am glad you are happy with my services and will continue to strive to make Vincent’s time with me special! Xx
From the moment I met Georgie she put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy, professional manner. My daughter really enjoys her time with Georgie along with the rest of the family, always coming home with lots to talk about.
Georgie always keeps me up to date throughout the day of my daughters progress and any activities she completes.
We have had a lot of experience with childcare providers over the years and Georgie is up there with the very best. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their child.

Thank you for your kind words!
Georgie is an amazing childminder with a passion for helping children progress both intellectually and emotionally. We can't thank Georgie enough for looking after our son so well. We got updates all the time with pictures and hilarious stories on what happened that day and eating habits as well as relationships that he made with others and childminders in group settings as well as parks and outings.
She was also very accomodating when we needed last minute help and never hesitated to offer more help if she saw fit. Our son still asks for her often and remembers the outings and children. She will leave a positive lasting impression that will last a lifetime.
