Here at Gems Childminding we have fun! we are silly! we explore! we imagine!
Spaces available for all ages
My name is Gemma Mack and I live on Cranfield Road, Hawkley Hall, Wigan. Just a small walk away from the canal and other woodland areas for some great adventures. I live in a detached house with my wonderful partner, our three amazing boys and our 2 dogs Marney and Milo. We have a lovely spacious back garden which children can access at any time during their care to explore our many resources and promote physical fitness.
My goals
- To provide a safe and secure environment which extends and develops all areas of a child’s development within the 7 areas of learning
- To enable all children to learn and develop their skills to the best of their ability.
- To promote self-discovery, exploration, and curiosity towards learning
- To maintain the standards and guidance set by OFSTED and to regularly reflect and develop my practice
- To encourage children to explore the environment and feel comfortable with me and my setting
- To provide a good working relationship with parents/carers and children
- To ensure confidentiality is kept at all times
*15 and 30 hours funding available*
I have my level 3 in children’s care, learning and development, I have an enhanced DBS and paediatric first aid. I have up to date training for food hygiene and safeguarding.
