About Me
My name is Gemma I am located in Netherton and happily married with two daughters and two sons.
I love looking after children and helping them grow into inquisitive, independent, confident individuals.
I provide a loving, caring, homely environment for your child and are a provider of the early years foundation stage.
I am also a provider of NEF which means I can offer your 3 up to 5yr old child 15 to 30hrs of free nursery education per week, for some funding may be from 2yrs old and soon most families will be entitled to up to 30hrs from 9mths to 5yrs, so please check the government website child care choices for more details .
I will provide your child with fun filled days of activity and the love and support you would expect from a home environment and experienced mummy. As a mum myself, I understand how important your child is to you and how very difficult it is to leave them, for this reason I provide the opportunity for all parents to attend settling in sessions if they wish for you and your little one/s to get to know me and my family.

I worked as a full time teacher before the birth of my 1st daughter in 2009 and returned to childminding as I love working with children and wanted to care for my own children whilst also returning to work.
I had worked as a registered childminder before teaching full time then I returned and went through the childminder registration process to re register with ofsted again in 2011
I look after children from 3 months to 8 years and will consider siblings upto 12 years in the school holidays.
