My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Gemma, I am 40 years old and I am an OFSTED registered childminder living in Carterton.
I live with my husband Mark, we have three girls aged 24, 22 and 14 years old, as well as a dog named Teddy. I offer a home from home setting where I encourage each child to develop and be the best that they can be. We have daily outings to the local parks, meet up with local childminders, attend local playgroups and participate in lots of arts and crafts.
