My Summary
About Me
Hello and a warm welcome to my childminding profile. My name is Gina; I am an Ofsted registered childminder since 1989 based in Purley/Coulsdon, Surrey.
My Experience
My ethos is to provide a happy home-from-home environment for your child where they can learn and develop through play and positive experiences in a secure and caring enviroment. As a parent and childcarer for 32 yrs, I know how precious your child/children are and how important it is to find the right childcare provider. I am highly qualified and able to meet the needs of all children. Children in my setting participate in a variety of structured activities for example cooking, storytime, music, ICT, arts and crafts, growing fruit and veg, role play, morning exercise etc to enhance their learning. Time is also set aside for physical and free play with a range of toys to stimulate the children's imagination and to encourage independence in learning. Spend a lot of time on the downs, farms, coast and other outdoor environments. The children also have half an hour phonic lessons during the week

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Gina. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We used Gina from March 2016 - September 2017 and she consistently went above and beyond her duties for our children. She showed them as much love and care for them as we do. She spoilt them with amazing trips out to farms and regular walks at the Downs.
I had a serious car accident where i was out of work for over 6 months and Gina did everything in her power to make my life easier and keep the children's routine in place.
From her home cooked meals to her amazing kindness i cannot fault her at all.
The only reason we left is that we only needed school pickups due to our daughter starting full time nursery at the school.
We would go back to her in a heart-beat.
