My Summary
About Me
My name is Gemma Friend and I am proud to introduce my beautiful child care setting to you. I live in Faygate village, West Sussex with my husband Rob, our 2 beautiful daughters, Kaitlin who is 14 and Laila who is 11 and our little friendly cockapoo, Coco.
In Spring 2021 my ultimate dream came true, as I will opened my own childcare setting as a childminder. I am an OFSTED registered childminder.
My Experience
I work from a wonderful log cabin at the bottom of my garden, giving the children a designated play space where they can play, learn, explore and flourish into competent and independent little people. I have been working in the childcare profession for over 25 years with a large portion of my working life spent in day nurseries, working as a manager and as a SENCO. During this time, I have met many children whom nursery just does not suit. Some children find the busy, bustling environment of a nursery overwhelming and are more suited to a smaller setting, with more individualised care. It is for this reason I have made the decision to open my own childcare setting. I aim to create a small nursery style environment where each and every child I care for will thrive day by day, whilst becoming confident communicators and competent learners.
My Qualifications
I have a NNEB qualification, level 3.
I am first aid trained, updated every 3 years.
I have relevant safeguarding training and this is updated every 2 years.
