A smaller setting was something I was considering as I believed this was suitable for my daughter. This would allow more one-to-one time and gradually building the my child’s confident level up, when starting a bigger setting e.g Reception. I was very very right about this and it was by far the best decision I made!!!
I was desperately in need of a reliable childminder that I felt at ease with. Instantly I got that feeling with Georgina when I had come across her, we arranged a settling in day for my daughter. She settled in very well, I noticed Georgina’s setting was spacious, wonderful outdoor scenery (garden), full of activities not to also mention how spotless the place was! My daughter began Georgina’s setting from September 2021 up until July 2022.
Myself and Georgina communicated so well with one another. Georgina was ever so understanding and showed huge compassion and love towards my little one. As a parent potty training was a huge fear of mine. I expressed this to Georgina and she helped me achieve this big milestone. I really thought this day would not come! She was ever so helpful with her strategy and I implemented all her advise at home too. This was a magnificent accomplishment that I honestly would not of done without the help of Georgina.
Georgina also has a degree in teaching which meant my daughter never missed out on any academic learning for her age. Everything was beautifully carried out as well as activities organised from the morning till the evening. A very well-structured and a brilliant routine she has for the children.
As my daughter was in Georgina’s setting four times a week (full-time) from the morning up until 16:30pm. Georgina engaged the children with activities such as making colourful fruit icicles, growing vegetables in the garden, water play, painting, paddling pool (for summer activities), attending play groups, going for a walk or to the local park and lots more!
Georgina was able to identify and communicate with me thoroughly, regarding any worries or concerns she may of had. Which I believe is very pivotal, with a childminder and we both had such a lovely professional friendship and we worked ever so well as a team. I can only thank her for being ever so patient and understanding with me. She never made me feel worried or anxious, Georgina can articulate to her parents very good.
Another area Georgina also helped my child with was with her Speech and Language. As well as not being able to form full-length sentences and Georgina realised this was an area my daughter was struggling in. This was something Georgina addressed to me immediately.
With the use of phoenix words, flash cards and different sentence structures/responses being taught to my daughter. I began to witness and hear a huge progression with my daughters English language and use of words and sounds. My daughter was also attending Speech and Language therapy sessions, Georgina also supported me with this. My daughter was able to tell me her age and what her name was. When she had been asked questions such as ‘how old are you?’ and ‘what is your name?’. All of this was down to Georgina’s years of experience as well as the loving, genuineness she shows towards the children. My daughter absolutely adores her till this day even after leaving her setting, as she’s now progressed into Reception. I am ever so grateful in crossing paths with Georgina, she really does deserve all the success in the world. My heart was always at rest when my daughter was with her even when I’d phone to check-in how they was. This certainly won’t be the end!
Without a shadow of a doubt I will most certainly be bringing my daughter during term times, to continue the wonderful development and special bond Georgina’s created with my little one.

Thank you so much Georgina you really are the best!!!🥰

Lots of love,

Aliya
