Gemma has been looking after our daughter since she was 10 months old and is still with her at just over 2 years.
Gemma has been great with our daughter. She is a caring, friendly and flexible childminder. She always plans activities for the kids both at home and out and about including arts and crafts.
Gemma's home is clean and tidy and well set up for looking after children.
Our daughter loves going to Gemma and we would definitely recommend her.

My daughter started with Gemma just before her first birthday and has now been with her for nearly two years. For my little one it has been like a home from home and it is great to see how she has developed from a baby to a bright, curious and chatty toddler.

From messy play, crafts, singing and counting games, to trips to the farm and soft play, everyday with Gemma is full of activities which the children love and allows them to develop and learn.

It has also been great that there are other children at Gemma's which means that our daughter gets peer interaction and she has made some lovely little friends.

I can't recommend Gemma enough, I know our daughter will miss her but I also know Gemma has helped to get our little one off to a flying start!

Gemma looked after my daughter for 1.5 years (2021-2022).

My daughter settled really well and quickly with Gemma (she was one year old when she started). She enjoyed going to playgroups, doing art activities (Mother's & Father's Days, Guy Fawkes Night, Euro inspired activities and so much more). Gemma has a really good relationship with all children and parents.

I used to get daily updates via phone on what they are up to.

I would highly recommend Gemma.

Gemma has looked after our little boy since he was 1.5 and we couldn't be happier with the care. Our little man felt right at home from the first day and has made some lovely friends during his time at Gemma's. The setting is great with a big garden for play in the warmer months, and Gemma takes the children out every day to a playgroup or park or soft play. Now 3, our little boy has started pre-school but still goes to Gemma once a week as he has become very attached :) Highly recommend.

My boy started with Gemma when he had just turned 1 and now, a year later, he has blossomed into the happiest little toddler in town!
He is only leaving her care because we are emigrating, and one of the hardest things we will have to do is find new childcare as wonderful as Gemma.
Our son has come on leaps and bounds, and runs into her house every day with happiness and excitement. I have absolute peace of mind when I leave him there.
We will all miss her loads, cannot recommend her highly enough.

After a rocky start with a previous child minder, my 1 year old felt immediately comfortable with Gemma. His confidence grew in the 18 months he spent in her care. Gemma makes sure the children enjoy a range of activities in the week and gets them out and running about whenever she can. She cooks nutritious food every day, which my son enjoyed and he learned how to eat independently as well as how to do many other things that I could ever get him to do! My son started nursery a sociable and confident boy after his time with Gemma.

I am very pleased to recommend Gemma who looked after our son for 18 months (2015-2017) when we moved to London. I was fortunate to find Gemma on this website when I needed someone on a very short notice. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible which as a working mother of two I appreciated greatly. Gemma offered our son a warm, safe and nurturing environment. Our little one was always happy to go in and play with his friends and Gemma ensured he experienced a number of activities such as baby groups, play ground, & day trips.

Gemma has looked after our 3 year old boy for almost two years now and we can't recommend her highly enough. There are loads of things to keep kids entertained with at the house and they also regularly attend local play groups. Gemma is great with kids and we've found her to be very flexible too. She also has no problem going along with special requests such as particular diets or potty training or anything else that you ask.
