Gemma Lander Child-minding Services

Gemma Lander Child-minding Services I provide a child-minding service, If you need childcare of any kind please feel free to contact me :o) This is often our favourite time of the day.

Welcome to my page, I have created this page to help share information about myself and my business with other parents and to help allow people to contact me. Please note that all photos on this page are for legal liability reasons only of my own children. I have been childminding now for 15 years, babysitting for even longer and I have loved every minute. In this time I have cared for children ra

nging from 9 months to 10 years. Being a lover of the outdoors we usually spend a minimum of 50% of our days outside either at the beach, forest, park or in the garden. I organise activities every week to both entertain and encourage every child to develop to the best of their abilities. these activities are usually based around a weekly or monthly topic that parents are advised about in advance. Weekly activities usually include:

Arts and crafts
Cooking
Library Visits
Toddler Groups
Swimming
Music
and much more! As well as taking all of the compulsory qualifications necessary to work in England & Scotland I have voluntarily attended additional courses and workshops to help me improve on the standard of care I provide, I have detailed these courses below;

We had a wonderful day at the house yesterday first getting crafty with collages and then enjoying a fire in the garden, making ball ramps together and cooking in the mud kitchen.

The children loved scrambling across the rocks and running from the waves at Hopeman yesterday.
