About Me

I am a mother of two grown up children. I enjoy walking my dogs and reading. I have a passion for Early years and enjoy watching children achieve their full potential using a holistic approach. I have many years of working with children in all different age groups.

My Experience

I have ample childcare experience from babies to teenagers. I have worked in both schools and in private nurseries. I also offer private tuition for primary aged children.

My Qualifications

I have a Diploma level 3 in children's development and a level 5 foundation degree in childhood studies. I have GCSE grades A-B. I have paediatric first aid, food safety and safeguarding certificates.

My Availability

I work from home with a separate room from which I childmind from. I have two lovely assistants who work with me. The children have access to the garden both front and back. We have a sleep room for nap times. I provide all food and can meet any preference or dietary requirements. I provide wipes.
I offer both full time and part time childcare including term time only.
At this time I am unable to offer school pick up or drop off.

Strong, trusting relationships are developed with staff, who effectively monitor children's development and provide good support for those with special needs. Language development is emphasized, with staff modeling and reinforcing communication skills. While safeguarding arrangements are effective, opportunities to extend mathematical learning could be improved. Professional development in mathematics teaching has been identified as an area for enhancement.

Absolutely wonderful! Fantastic childminder!

5 stars

Gemma was totally brilliant with my son Bobby. He felt happy, secure and Gemma brought out his confidence. Gemma and her team really encouraged Bobby’s talking and communication. He loved going to Gemma’s house. I would highly recommend her!

Our daughter started with Gemma at 12 months and settled very quickly. She was always so excited to go and has grown into such a happy, confident little girl, in no small part down to Gemma's care and encouragement. Gemma is very experienced and organized as well as so helpful, having our daughter on extra days when needed and sometimes at quite short notice. She keeps you informed during the day with photos of their activities and a useful debrief at the end of the day! We're so sad to be leaving Gemma but are so grateful to her and her family and for making us and our daughter so welcome.

fantastic childminder

5 stars

It was such a hard decision to send our daughter to a childminder at 14 months old. I was so nervous for her and worried about what she would experience and how she would settle in. Gemma could not have been a more perfect decision. She put our minds at peace, talked us through everything, sent us pictures of Isla at each session. She was always happy to answer our questions. Isla adores her and the smile on her face when she sees Gemma is just priceless. She always reaches out to Gemma and jumps into her arms when I hand her over at the start of the day. Isla comes home with a big smile on her face and chats about the things she’s been doing. She’s made friends there and has grown in confidence with dogs through being around Gemma’s two little ones.

Gemma is kind and thoughtful and when we had our second child she took Isla on for extra days instantly with no issue and was so helpful. This definitely helped Isla and meant the world to us to know that Isla had somewhere reliable and safe to go whilst I was in hospital.

I would recommend Gemma as a childminder to anyone and everyone. She is the best! She truly cares for the children and families she works with!

Excellent Childminder

5 stars

My Son is being looked after by Gemma who he adores so much so he is dressed and ready to leave at 6.30 every morning. Even though we don’t leave till 8am! Gemma has updated me daily on his well-being and sent me pictures of activities he is enjoying that day. To help put me at ease as well. Always updates every day on pick up on food eaten along with activities or interests he has shown. I can’t fault her in anyway and would recommend any parent who looks at her profile to contact her as she is an excellent childminder who will look after you child and support their learning especially during these difficult times we find ourselves in.
