My boys second family :-)
My two sons have been going to Gina's four days a week now for 18 months with my youngest son being just 5.5 months when he started. I can honestly say my sons LOVE Gina, her husband and their two lovely daughters like they were part of their own family. They are always really happy to go there which I believe is due to Gina's enthusiasm and loving nature which is totally natural and not put on for the parents' benefit. The boys have learnt so much with Gina and some days I am so surprised at the things they know which they have obviously learnt when with Gina.
The activities the boys enjoy with her are as follows: Cheeky Monkey's (childminder group which Gina runs), going to the park, the library, art work, nature scavenger hunts, paddling pool, trampoline, cooking, puddle jumping, walks, going to meet Dot Dot (Gina's mum) who the boys also love, my youngest also plays a spot of golf with Gina's husband which has definitely been my bargaining tool in getting him out of the door in the morning when he won't put his shoes on!
Gina's EYFS folders are wonderful and we really enjoy reading these at regular intervals seeing what the boys have been up to with the various projects they work on at Cheeky Monkeys. We especially love the section at the back of the folders which quote some of the funny or interesting things the boys have said.
Gina is great at capturing important moments on video or photo and will always WhatsApp them over to us so we don't miss them.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend Gina and so would my boys. They really do love her and her them.
