LittleGemz's Reviews

Professional and Patient

Dorothy has been looking after my son since he was 2 years old up until now at 9 years old. She looks after him term time and during school holidays. She has been very patient with him through all his development stages. She has been a crucial part of his reading stages. She helped to read by the time he was 3 years old. She has taught him a lot of life skills that I would not have the time to implement. She was a very important person when it came to his transition from nursery into primary school, she is currently assisting me to prepare him for his SATs in year 6. She is so reliable and has not disappointed me yet with her availability, she will always give adequate notice were applicable if she can't look after my son.

Like Home Away from Home

Dorothy's Littlegemz setting is a welcoming, home-away-from-home childcare service that has provided a nurturing and safe atmosphere for my child. From the moment we enrolled, I’ve seen how child has thrived through the joys of play and exploration, which is something Dorothy emphasises beautifully. The environment is both stimulating and comforting, allowing my child to learn at their own pace while building essential social and cognitive skills.

Dorothy has been an incredible support, to both my child and I. She is always proactive in keeping me informed about any milestones achieved, whether it’s a new word, a skill, or simply a moment of growth. Her regular updates make me feel connected to my child’s day-to-day development even when I’m not physically there.

What I appreciate most is Dorothy's personalized care and attention. She goes above and beyond to understand each child's individual needs and strengths, making sure they feel valued and supported. It truly feels like a family environment, and I couldn’t ask for a better place for my child to grow and flourish.

Happy child, happy parents

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care you’ve provided for Apo. It’s clear that you genuinely care about the children you look after, and this is reflected in how happy and comfortable Apo has been in your care.

Your warm and welcoming environment has truly been a second home for Apo and another grandmother. The thoughtful activities you plan, along with the nurturing atmosphere, have not only made Apo feel safe and loved but have also contributed significantly to their growth and development. I particularly appreciate how you encourage creativity, learning, and social skills through your engaging and fun activities.

Your communication with us as parents has also been wonderful. We always feel well-informed about Apo’s day, their progress, and any little achievements, which means so much to us.

Thank you for all the love, attention, and support you’ve given. We couldn’t be happier with the care you provide, and we’re so grateful to have found someone as dedicated and caring as you.
