About Little Gems Childcare

I offer a quality childcare service in Droitwich where children are allowed to learn, grow, develop and most importantly have fun in a family environment.

Little Gems Childcare Description

A bit about me. . . I myself am a proud mother to two wonderful boys. After having my second child I decided to completely change my career path as a Sports Science Lecturer so I could pursue my real passion of working with children. I was fortunate enough to gain a job working in a local nursery and pre-school which I absolutely love and get huge enjoyment from.
I have decided to now set up my own childcare service alongside my part time work at the nursery. I am in the process of starting my Ofsted registration process to become a child-minder so in the meantime looking to offer babysitting / childcare service for children in the local area.

My aims. . . . I am a firm believer that children should be allowed time to be exactly that. . . . children. I also believe and have seen numerous times, that children have the most fun (and ultimately learn and develop most) when they are given the space and freedom to do so. It would be my aim to have any children that I am looking after outside as much as possible as children relax, have fun and also take more risks and experiment more when outside. One of my favourite quotes is "the most memorable days are the ones that end with the dirtiest clothes".

My qualifications. . . . I am educated to degree level and hold a Certificate to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector. I have a full DBS check which is on the update system. Full driving licence and access to own vehicle. Level 3 in Safeguarding Children, Level 2 Equality & Diversity and Level 2 Food Safety. I have also recently carried out online training in Improving Children's Learning Through Play, Supporting Early Language Development, Being Safe: Effective First Aid Management, Managing Behaviour, Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect, Early Years Nutrition, Understanding the Revised EYFS, Early Childhood Education and Observing Children. I am also due to take a 12 hour intensive Paediatric First Aid course and Improving Maths for 3-5 year olds in the summer.

Availability. . . I would be available any evening of the week after 7pm. Due to my part time work, I would only be available in the daytime from Wednesday- Sunday.

We’ve had a quieter than normal day but have also been very busy with lots of activities! This morning we had a good explore around nursery and along the canal. We found lots of new trees to climb and a stream to paddle in, went on a bug hunt, collected flowers and then made prints with them. This afternoon we set up a mud pie cafe!

We kept busy this morning to ward of the windy damp weather but enjoyed running around in the sunshine when it made an appearance!

We absolutely love Gem and her childcare! We wouldn’t go anywhere else, such a fantastic Early Years practitioner. Thank you xx

My little one has settled in so quickly with Gemma, and has so much fun doing a wide variety of activities every session. I would highly recommend to any other parent :)

Little Gems childcare is absolutely amazing! Gem and Leanne provide what I always tell people when I talk about my daughters childminders ‘A money can’t buy’ childcare setting. My daughter LOVES it there and has done from day one. My daughter has plenty of outside time, with visits to the park and library for play group. Gem also plans days out like to little owl farm park and to the zoo! My daughter does so many activities during the day and they are varied and clearly promoting her development. My little girl in her first week started to talk more and was able to feed herself which I had been trying to encourage for weeks! I couldn’t recommend Gem and Leanne enough, they are incredible at what they do and they are clearly passionate about the children they care for and the service they provide. I plan on living close to the setting until my daughter no longer needs childcare as no one would compare to this setting! X
