Gabby has looked after all three of my children for the last 9+ years originally as an assistant and more recently as a registered childminder and I can honestly say I have always felt at ease that my children are looked after, safe and happy. She works hard to provide different experiences for them including regular trips out and also ensures they are continuously learning.
I would highly recommend her to anyone and am personally really sad that as my kids have grown I no longer require her services.

Our son started under Gabby’s care when he was just under a year old and is still with her now, three-and-a-half years later.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gabby 100%. She is such a lovely, warm and caring person and is clearly passionate about working with young children. She is very friendly, communicative and easy-going, all the while remaining thoroughly professional and dedicated to her work.
The amount of effort Gabby and her assistant, Molly, put into creating a fun and stimulating learning environment for the children is very impressive: they organise a huge variety of activities, including cooking, crafting, art, soft play, dance and games. They also take the children out on lots of trips and adventures, including parks, playgrounds, nature rambles and local sights. In addition, Gabby and Molly have been preparing our son for starting school in September by helping him with his phonics, letter formation and basic arithmetic. Most importantly, the social skills he has developed at Gabby’s have been crucial to his development as a kind, considerate and communicative young person. Not forgetting the potty training!
On another note, Gabby provides delicious and varied home-cooked meals on a daily basis (our son eats with gusto everything she dishes up, which he doesn’t always do with our cooking!). We also really appreciate Gabby sending us at least a couple of photos every day to show us what our son is up to. It’s always evident from these snapshots that he’s enjoying himself and is constructively engaged in whatever activity is underway.
We have been exceptionally happy with the way our son has flourished under Gabby’s care over the years - her childcare setting has been incredibly nurturing and beneficial for him. We are so glad that we found Gabby and that our son has got to spend his first, formative years with her and Molly. It has been the best possible start for him.
He will really miss Gabby and Molly when the time comes for him to leave and for Gabby to relocate her business to Essex. But Chatham’s loss will be Westcliffe-on-Sea’s gain!

We have used Gabby as our childminder for a few years now and my oldest girl went to this setting too.
Honestly she is so amazing, my daughter is always excited to go to 'Gabby's' and always tells me about her day.
My little girl is a super fussy eater at home but will try food at the setting, if there is something she won't try to eat, Gabby always makes sure to cater for her needs.
She honestly treats all the children just like her own, that's why we feel so comfortable with her and she is just a lovely all round person.

Gabby has looked after my oldest who is nearly 4 since she was 6 months old as an assistant, but took over her full time care a year and a half ago. In this time she now also provides care to my now 16 month old who also started with her at 6 months. I honestly could not ask for a better childminder. They do so many trips and days out, learning about nature and the world around them and follows the EYFS curriculum. Healthy home cooked meals and getting children to try new foods - both my little ones eat so much more now! My girls absolutely adore Gabby and are excited every day to see her. We are so upset we are losing her here in Kent but I would very very highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for childcare in her home town

Gabby has previously looked after 8 year old daughter and has looked after my now 3 year old daughter since she was 9months old. Her childminding setting is a calm and fun-filled environment filled with lots of educational opportunities, sensory play and fun. My daughter is excited to go to Gabbys each day and thrives from the many outings they go to locally throughout the week-visiting parks, nature walks and soft play. She is learning through play daily, learning to write letters and to form numbers. I feel 100% confident in Gabbys capabilities as a loving, safe and experienced childminder. My daughter loves all the healthy new foods she is encouraged to try whilst she’s in the setting and has mastered potty training with Gabbys help. Gabby is a highly recommended childminder who has the ability to love and nurture each child like her own. As a working mum it’s hard to leave your child each day but I have absolutely no worries about my children being happy and safe in Gabbys care each day.
