My 2 children absolutely adore being with Gail. She's truly an amazing person and I don't know what I'd do without her. Thank you Gail x

Gail is fantastic, offers a very personal friendly service. Seems to really enjoy spending time our daughter, even on a Monday. Our daughter loves her days at Gail's I think she would prefer to stay there than come home. Gail takes a big interest in our child's development, she does a number of different activities to develop our daughter through play. Gail really has helped our daughter develop, think we have found a one in a million child minder, couldn't recommend Gail enough

That is so lovely to hear, thank you so much for your amazing feedback, really appreciate it 😊
My little girl is 23 months old and has been going to Gail for almost a year and we are over the moon we found her.
We’re honestly in awe of the effort she puts in and can tell how much she loves what she does. She puts so much thought and time into activities for the children and is so creative. My little one has come on leaps and bounds with her development, which Gail documents daily through an app, which we think it great, we love the photo updates we receive as our little one always has a beaming smile and we can tell how well she’s looked after.
Cannot talk highly enough of her, absolute dream childminder

Thank you for the lovely review, very much appreciated.
Gail looked after my child for 4 years from a 6m old baby, she has always gone above and beyond for my child, he has loved his time with Gail and I'm honestly so glad we found her.
Gail is the most caring person and has given my child the best environment to grow in. He loves going there and As a family we have built a strong connection with gail. She is truly the most amazing childminder she fills the days with fantastic activities and has really helped my childs development over the years and have supported him in so many ways. 100% would recommend Gail
