My daughter has been with Gemma for almost a year and it's been the best experience for her. She gets so many fun experiences, a loving family environment to spend time in, and so much care and attention. Gemma takes her on loads of amazing trips and she gets so much time enjoying the outdoors. Gemma has helped her build her confidence and she has thrived in this setting. We absolutely thank our lucky stars we found Gemma and are so grateful for finding the best person to care for our child!

Gemma is an absolute goddess in our house! My wee boy spends two days per week with Gemma and he is treated like one of the family. Gemma has so much energy and is never short of brilliant activities and adventures. Absolutely delighted that we found Gemma and highly recommend her for others too :-)
