My Summary
About Me
My name is Georgette, I am Ofsted registered ( last inspection June 2019) Graded Good.
I married with two children (28 and 21 years of age).
I provide a nurturing, child-friendly and warm environment in a comfortable family home situated in BR1. I have a secure large garden which is accessible all year round where the children can play and explore freely. I also have a beautiful garden room full of exciting and interesting resources to encourage and extend children's play and learning. I am a keen advocate of outdoor learning and have many parks close by within walking distance and a large modern library where children can enjoy story sessions and gain a love of books.
I am bilingual (fluent in English and French) and I can offer the enjoyment of learning a second language to children in my care.
I live in a small quiet road with off street parking for parent(s) who drive. If using public transport, I am close to main bus routes and train stations.
NB. Pet/Smoke free home.

My children have attended Gerogette since they were both 6 months old, one is now 4 and one is 2. I wouldn’t have anyone else look after my children they enjoy every single day, they are very very well fed and have always loved going .
Both children feel comfortable and enjoy playing with the other children. Not only do they have many exciting activities at Georgettes home but they go on outings and experience new things each and every day.
Gerogette knows all the children in her care and insures each child is heard and attention is received. She is happy to listen to the parents and at every pick up we have lovely long chats about the children’s day there’s no sense of rush, Georgette is always accommodating.
Georgette is not a regular childmind, she is a superhero and without her I wouldn’t have be able to get back to university and work. Her home is my children’s home and as parents it’s important you feel comfortable leaving your children and there’s not been one day I’ve had to worry about them.
Georgette looked after our 2 yo son 7 months, until we recently relocated for a new job opportunity. We can't recommend her highly enough. When he arrived with her our son had struggled to settle in two previous settings, and we were nervous about how he would find it and vice versa. Georgette immediate put us at ease - her home is a welcoming, loving space, where she takes a personal approach to giving each child what he/she needs to be at their best. Georgette adapted things in the setting for our son to help him grow trust and confidence, and once he was more familiar with things she helped us to navigate setting some boundaries to help all of us with life at home, as well as when he was with her. She is very kind and generous, but also firm, consistent and assertive, and has become a real extension of our family.
She has a fantastic setting which is all tailored around what the children enjoy and ideas to keep them entertained. From activities in the garden (even a pet snail project one rainy afternoon!) and in her home, outings to the park and to local museums and playgroups - every day there was something new to explore.
We saw our son's confidence and independence grow leaps and bounds and we have Georgette to thank!
My 2 year old son has been going to Georgette for 9 months and it is like a second home to him. She shows him so much love he settled straight away and runs in in the morning without looking back. My 4 year old daughter goes to Georgette for wraparound care (Burnt Ash Primary) and she loves it there too.
She provides an engaging setting as well as local trips out and her communication about their day is excellent, I love getting photos of all the fun they are getting up to. He has developed so much since being with her.
The most important thing though is that he feels so loved and safe with her and her family that he loves being there, which means the world to me, especially as he struggled to settle in a previous setting.
I couldn't recommend Georgette enough, she's amazing at what she does.
My 3.5 year old son came to Georgette after a very difficult time at nursery. As a single parent it was a very difficult time for me also.
Georgette worked wonders! My son started talking more, interacting with his peers better. I only left because I relocated.
Georgette actually cares about the children she watches and has a genuine passion for her job. My son was truly loved and supported.
I highly recommend her
