Gemma Griffin

Gemma Griffin was a nursery teacher who looked after the children that attended the play group in the Emmerdale Village Institute in May 2010, when regular nursery teacher Mrs Cowling was ill. Nicola De Souza assumed Gemma was at the playgroup on work experience, and when she realised she wasn't, Nicola unsure about leaving her nine month old daughter Angelica King in the care of someone with little experience. Gemma assured Nicola she was properly qualified, even offering to show Nicola her certificates and suggesting she stay and monitor her performance. Nicola collected Angelica early that day and wasn't happy that her daughter was sitting in a full nappy. Gemma assured Nicola that Angelica could have only just filled her nappy, but Nicola didn't believe her. Gemma told Nicola that if she wasn't happy with the way she did her job, she should go home and call Mrs Cowling. The following day, playgroup was canceled as there was nobody to take the group.
