Excellent childminder - 5*
I found Gill when we first moved to the area in 2017. I knew from our first text message exchange that she was "the one" before even having met her. Having only ever left our children with family it was essential for us that we found somebody to take care of our youngest daughter like their own. I can safely say that Gill certainly did that! Our daughter took a while to settle after I left in the mornings but Gill went above & beyond to help us with this and in the end she went running in without looking back.
Gill's home is very child friendly and she has lots of great toys for the children to enjoy both inside & out. Her family are also very welcoming and they all made our daughter feel like part of the family too.
Gill always does excellent craft activities with the children which we will treasure forever, so much more than a simple painting or drawing. She always takes them out & about to do fun activities. The daily diary provides an update of exactly what they have done/eaten/sleep etc and the regular newsletters are very useful to find out what is going on and activities planned for the coming months.
Our daughter talks very fondly of "Auntie Gill" and her time spent with her and the other children in her care.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gill in every way, she really is a credit to her job and has now become a close family friend as well as our childminder.
