Geraldine had looked after my eldest daughter since she was 7 months old. We loved Geraldine and the environment she provides so much that we secured a place for our smallest child, she started in October aged 6 months. Geraldine is kind and caring and is always out and about with the children. No 2 days are the same. We are very happy with the care provided and can not fault her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Geraldine to anybody looking for a childminder.

My daughter Nylah is currently minded by Geraldine and has been since she was about 6 months old - she will be 4 next month and very sadly leaving Geraldine's care in the summer for school this September. Nylah has spent 4 days a week during term time learning, exploring and having the best time on her adventures with Geraldine! Geraldine makes the most of the local area where the children get to do lots of outdoor activities as well as attending local toddler groups. Geraldine is kind and patient and has helped shape Nylah into a wonderful, kind little girl - something we are extremely grateful for. In fact we have already asked for our new baby to start when Nylah leaves this Autumn.

Well, its the end of an era for our little Hannah. Four years have gone so fast but in that time, SO much fun has been had. Hannah started with Geraldine (or "Didi" as Hannah re-named her) when she could barely walk and attended for three days a week until it was time to start school. During these impressionable years, Hannah has had adventures in forests and woods, made fantastic models and paintings with art & craft afternoons, attended toddler groups with games and prizes aplenty and has made some great new friends. Even when a birthday or such like rolled around, she always came home with a little personalised handmade card to mark the occasion. Wonderful.
Geraldine is someone you can trust implicitly with your child. Her professionalism shines through and her ability to capture a child's imagination and keep them entertained for the duration of their stay is a testament to her skill set. Along with this and all other aspects of childcare, safety and well-being, she is a true consummate in this field.
Hannah will miss "Didi" but she'll see her again.
Thank you, Geraldine - you've given her the best start in life and very best of luck to you. Have fun with your new little treasures.
Alan Irving- (Hannah's daddy)
