I have had my son in childcare with Gemma since he was 6 months old and has been settled with her from the start. Gemma has a calm, understanding and warm approach with children, she is friendly and approachable, reliable and understanding to parent's may need to be flexible. Her home is very child friendly and has a good range of toys for learning and playing.
I have also found Gemma to be extremely hard working, she takes children to local play groups, parks, soft play. My child has always seemed happy and active with Gemma, never bored and has benefitted from the social interaction with other children. I have received crafts made by my son on mother's & father's day which have been lovely.
I would highly recommend Gemma as a child-minder and has been excellent throughout.
