My son was in her care for 4 months (May-August 2017) from the age of 1 year 2 months. At this young age he was not always happy to leave me, but with Gabriela’s love and patience he settled each morning very quickly and soon became happy to let me go, at one point he didn’t want to come home when I went to pick him up!

I would highly recommend Gabriela as a wonderful childminder who is trustworthy and competent in her job, but more than this is the love she shows the children, even calling them part of her family. She really takes time to understand each child and their personalities and adapts to the needs of the child.

Her house is a fantastic space with a lovely garden and she has plenty of age appropriate toys. My son gained such a love of her toy kitchen we bought one for home! She provided well balanced home cooked meals and my son started eating new things.

The only reason we moved to a different childminder is Gabriela fitted us in last minute and she didn’t have space from September. I would definitely recommend Gabriela as a loving and caring childminder, as a parent I had no concerns and always felt confident my son was in the best hands when he wasn’t me.
