Cotema is a amazing childminder, I contracted Cotema after I was struggling for childcare in school holidays, Cotema was quick to reply and was able to accommodate my needs, from our first meeting Cotema is very polite and professional with Cotema nurturing nature my daughter took to her straight away, after this I felt feeling very ease leaving my daughter with Cotema, I knew My daughter was in safe hands. My daughter really enjoyed her time here and also was very excited about going back each day. Cotema gave updates during the day and would give feed back at pick up about all the fun they had that day. I will definitely be using her service again and I would highly recommend her to anyone

Cotema babysat my five year old daughter for several hours on a Saturday with very short notice (I reached out the day before!) She was very accommodating, warm and friendly. My daughter had a lovely day - she came back happy and tired! I will absolutely be booking more sessions with Cotema and would recommend her to anyone.

Hi Chloe, thank you very much for the review, I am so happy that your daughter has enjoyed herself, it was a pleasure having both of you and looking forward to work with you again. ☺️☺️
Looked after our 3 year old son on Saturday night, we were really nervous as never used a baby sitter or child care service before but it was amazing, we were kept updated all night with texts and pictures and our son really enjoyed himself, will definitely be using the service again and 100% recommend.

Thank you for your review! You and your child were a pleasure to work with.
Been with GMB for a few months now and she has been nothing but amazing to our little girl. She is very accomodating and also ensures she sends an update which is very reassuring for me. My little girl loves going to her and have seen a lot of development in her confidence. Would recommend her to anyone.

Needed a babysitter for 2 days for my 2 year old babygirl and GMB was very flexible with the times, very warm, and supportive to my baby; her home is also very clean and tidy. She updated me regularly which made me feel at ease. Would recommend

Cotema is nothing short of fantastic! She cares for my little girl as she cares for her own children. She is invested in her education and development, and her general wellbeing.
Since Cotema has been looking after my daughter, she's been flexible with any changes and always goes the extra mile.
She prepares fresh, healthy and varied food every day and even has reward charts for every child.
If you are looking for a professional childminder with a genuine caring and kind hearted personality, look no further!

My daughter has been with GMB for almost 3 months, she's very happy and comfortable with the setting. GMB is like her second home, as soon as she see her she wants to go in straight away. GMB definitely has the way of making children's feel loved, cared for etc,,, and as a mum I want to see nothing more. I would 100% recommend GMB to anyone 😊

Hello rose, thank you for your review, I am very happy to know that you are happy with the service that I provide for you and your daughter, it is a pleasure to have your little girl she is a lovely an energetic young girl, since she started with me she has developed so much and making great progress in all area of her milestone development.
I had really struggled to find a childminder who is flexible to our needs. Cotema was very accomodating. She had helped my son in ll the ways . it's such a relief to see my son cling to her so well when I drop him there. I would really recommend her to others. she is very patient and kind. Also takes the kids for all outdoor activities and keeps them active.
