Gina minded our daughter from the age of 11 months until she was 27 months and she looked after her for 4 days per week. We have been extremely happy with the care our daughter has received and the great progress she has made whilst in Gina’s care with her development. Gina has made our daughter feel like she is part of their family, she is always so welcoming, her home is clean, well organised and our daughter always has great fun playing with the huge array of toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all of this, it is Gina’s warm and friendly approach which sets her apart from other child minders we have met.

Gina provides a wide, fun range of activities, my daughter loves going to the play group and play centres they go to on a weekly basis - she is always coming home with arts and crafts she has made! Gina always plans lovely activities to do around the different seasons – Christmas, Easter and each month they have a theme that they focus on like ‘Under the Sea’, ‘Colours’ etc. Gina has a beautiful playroom at home and the children enjoy singing with Gina, making music, painting, baking, reading and dressing up. Gina regularly takes Isabella on trips out to the park, woodland walks, farm, circus, safari park to name only a few. Where Gina goes above and beyond is the little personal touches – making birthday cards for mummy and daddy and grandparents, creating photo keyrings and magnets for mother’s day and father’s day – we are always getting lovely little gifts that our daughter has made with Gina. Gina also sends us photos nearly every day with updates on what they have been up to, this has been a great comfort when at work as we can see how happy our daughter is.

We have been thoroughly happy with the care from Gina and I am certain that being in such a positive and happy environment has helped our daughter develop into a confident, self-assured and content little girl.

I would, without doubt recommend Gina as a fantastic and reliable child-minder. We are very sad that our daughter is finishing with Gina and hope to stay in contact as they have developed such a strong bond. I couldn’t have asked for a better care setting for our precious daughter.
