We love spending our days learning through lots of messy play and enjoying the great outdoors!

I cannot recommend Gemma enough she has provided first class care to both of our children and has been so flexible when needed. Our children were happy in her care and would often talk about all the lovely things they had been up to throughout the day.

Both children were young babies when they started going to Gemma’s, her experience with young children shone through and she was so nurturing towards them. She kept me updated on their progress and supported us with their development.

They were very well prepared for school and transitioned smoothly but they still miss Gemma lots and talk fondly of their early years spent with her.

Gemma is a superstar!
My daughter has been with Gemma for 6 months now and she is coming on leaps and bounds. Gemma is so loving and always makes my daughter feel at home, she comes home and loves to tell me what fun she’s had that day.
We couldn’t ask for a better childminder ❤️

Gemma is such a lovely person, I sent both of my children to her from a very young age and she brought them on in leaps and bounds, they never cried or moaned when I left them in her care in fact both of them couldn't wait to go back to see her and the other children she cared for. I can’t thank Gemma enough she played such a big part in there early years.

I used Gemma when my childminder was ill for emergency care.
Gemma was an instant hit with my little one and after seconds of meeting her he was holding his hands out. He had a great couple of days and I felt confident leaving him in such safe hands.
