Thank you so much for your lovely review,
It was an absolute pleasure looking after your daughters,
they are both very smart girls. I wish them every success now and in the future.
Little Gems is a wonderful provision for childcare!!!. We had 1 year old twin boys that are no easy feat! one of our boys took longer to adjust to childcare after being at home whilst I was on leave, but Margaret showed great patience and care with him. The boys were treated as individuals and there was recognition of each boys strengths and needs. Our boys have allergies which were expertly handled by Margaret with great attention and care.
We received daily updates and initially pictures of daily activites which included: Going to soft play, going to the parks, enjoying stroy time at the local provisions. Margaret would make a point to take the children out as long as they were dressed accordingly.
The daily logs were always completed and we received guideance on how she was following the EYFS curriculum regularly.
We only left Little Gems as we moved to Kent and can no longer make the commute! If we were still London based our boys would have stayed until school age for sure!!
Little Gems is a great home from home, It took a long time to match the care and education that has been provided for our boys now we ate Kent Based. We couldn't have asked for better care. Our boys loved Margaret and we intend to keep in touch!! Couldnt recommended a better provision. Wonderful Care X.

I would definitely recommend this childminder. My son stood with her for over 4 years, since he was 2 years old until when he was nearly 7. This childminder was always to him like aunt.Someone with good heart and like someone from family. This was always important to me. I know some people do this kind of job as a business, not because they very much like this, so here was different. Very good place. My son learnt a lot there, having always good time. Playing and learning. Also worth mentioning is the fact that this childminder is very reliable. She never called off sick or anything like that, so this is the person you can count on.

This lady cared for my 5yr old and 1yr old while I was studying in college. She would take my eldest daughter to school and also pick her up. She was extremely reliable.
She provided all meals for my children and catered for all their dietary requirements.
She is a very friendly and warm lady and my chidlren really loved going to her in the mornings. So much so, that on the days they didn't go, my eldest would ask to go there. And on the days that they did go, my eldest would get upset that she had to go to school while my baby got to stay there. And most of the time, when I went to collect my children, they did not want to come home!!
The home environment is very clean with a friendly atmosphere - the whole family are very friendly and welcoming. The playroom is lovely and my kids loved it, but they were also taken out on trips to playgroups, parks etc when the weather was good.
I was very happy and lucky to have found such a good childminder whom my children adored and missed when my college course was completed. Even now, when I walk past the house, my baby gets excited as she thinks she is going there.
I highly recommend this childminder, she will look after you children as if they were her own!
