Gina has looked after my Son for around 2/3 Years and going on to looking after my Daughter. My Son has been taught so many Values here which he has continued to use throughout Home & School. Has maintained fairness with my Son during difficult Times and has given a lot of Support to us all. Always kept in Contact through Holidays, Breaks and let’s me know how my Son is doing throughout the Day which is always nice and reassuring when he’s with her. She’s quite Flexible in what she does and always goes the Extra Mile to be helpful. My Son absolutely adores Gina and the Family also! It’s like Additional Family now. Always feel Comfortable to Approach and Ask any Questions I may have.. definitely would Recommend Gina!
