The BEST childminder & home from home ever!
Gabby is honestly the best there is!!! Long review but worth the read I promise!
Gabby looked after my daughter from when she was approx 6 months old through to she was 2 and half. We only stopped as we moved 45 minutes away (we were gutted the commute wasn’t feasible at the time ).
As a first time mum, I was anxious about finding a childminder for my daughter at such a young age, but Gabby completely took that feeling away and provided a home from home for my daughter. She really did look after my child as if she were her own.
Gabby was fantastic in making sure Sienna routine under her care was the same as when she was at home with us. She kept very concise diary for us noting everything from when she fed, how much, exact nap and wake times, even down to how many nappy changes etc. When Sienna started to eat & wean, Gabby was brilliant in helping us with the transition and ensured she ate nutritious varied meals, keeping note of Siennas favourites and dislikes. Sienna eats do many varieties of foods now and that’s thanks to Gabby.
Gabby helped to teach Sienna some basic Spanish in her time, and she still often speaks it (very proudly asking anyone that will hear “como estas?” and “donde los manos?” - again we are so thankful as Sienna has expressed a huge interest in wanting to learn more Spanish.
She helped us to potty train Sienna from
Nappies to none, and provided much encouragement for Sienna (and us!).
At every step or milestone for both Sienna and us as parents, Gabby was truly amazing, teaching Sienna and providing the best care we could ask for.
Gabby effectively helped us to raise our daughter and honestly I could not have wished for a better person to do so. Her warm heart and love for the kids in her care is like no other.
We have a new baby in the family and when the time comes for needing a childminder, I wouldn’t hesitate in choosing Gabby in a heartbeat, the 20mile commute is worth every minute!
