My Summary
About Me
My name is Gemma Clay, I am 36 years old and have lived in Linton for most of my life. I live with my partner Adam and we have 2 children Olivia who is 11 years old and Freddie who is 7 years old.
I aim to provide a welcoming, caring, warm and home from home environment. This will hopefully give your child the chance to develop, learn, and have fun whilst in my care. I aim to achieve this by providing stimulating activities which are age and stage appropriate and adaptable for inside and outside. I will provide childcare between the hours of 7:45 and 6pm Tuesday-Friday but will try to be flexible outside these hours if necessary.

I am writing to provide a personal testimonial regarding my family's experience with the "Little Gems" Childminding service, under the supervision of Ms. Gemma Clay. Over five years, from 2019 to 2024, my daughter was under the care of Little Gems until she outgrew the service due to her changing school commitments. Throughout this period, Ms. Clay proved to be an exceptional source of support, exceeding my expectations in every aspect of childcare.
Ms. Clay's warm and caring nature immediately resonated with my daughter, easing any apprehensions I had as a first-time user of a childminding service. Her ability to create a nurturing and professional environment while efficiently supervising the children is commendable. She invests time and effort in understanding each child's individual needs and their family dynamics. Furthermore, her open communication and receptiveness to my concerns—particularly about my daughter's health and behaviour—have been invaluable. Notably, when my daughter was diagnosed with severe asthma, Ms. Clay demonstrated keen observation, quick response, and accurate reporting of health episodes, providing crucial insights for my discussions with medical professionals.
In addition to her outstanding care, Ms. Clay's own family contributes to the positive experiences my daughter had while at "Little Gems." Their friendliness and caring nature further enriched my daughter's time there.
Beyond her contractual obligations, Ms. Clay's support extended to providing guidance and reminders of school events, epitomizing her dedication to going above and beyond for the families she serves. I highly recommend "Little Gems" based on my exceptionally positive experiences and interactions. I wish Ms. Clay and her family all the best for the future. We will miss them greatly.
