Emma only had my 2 yr old daughter for 9 months, but they had such a great bond. Harper loves Emma and you can see it's reciprocated! Our Harper is a very willful toddler, and Emma has taken it in her stride and shown so much positivity.
I have had a lot of change with my work schedule, and Emma has been so helpful and understanding all the way through.
I feel Emma makes so much effort to have a close bond with the parents, as well as the child in her setting, and it makes all the difference in the world with giving us parents that peace of mind!

Couldn't recommend Emma enough, thank you so much for being one in a million! You will be so missed.

Off to nursery for Harper's next chapter!! X

Emma took my two in an emergency and was amazing. My 3 year old had an amazing time with her and she was able to settle my 1 year old quickly. Both my children came away happy and content!

Thank you Emma ☺️

I think Emma would agree but my 9 month old was undoubtedly the most difficult little being. Crying non stop most days, for weeks. Emma kept her cool and showed my daughter that it was fun to leave mum for a while. I believe not many people would have faired so well. And that’s why we chose Emma. We knew her kind hearted soft approach would be what my daughter needed. And here we are a few months in and my daughter holds her arms out to go to Emma. She’s settled happy and enjoys her time.
We’re sad to be leaving, but whoever takes our space will be super lucky. ❤️

I am so grateful for Emma, and the outstanding care she has provided for my little one, from the tender age of 6 months-2 years+. My son warmed to Emma very well. She constantly made me feel reassured, and offered great advice for a first time mum like myself. A professional, extremely outgoing and most of all caring childminder. Thank you Emma!

It was always going to be hard sending our 1yo to a childcare setting, especially post covid, but we instantly felt very comfortable with Emma and loved the bright, colourful and clean setting she provided for the children. We didn't have the easiest start, as our boy struggled to settle in, but Emma was very good at communicating with us, providing regular updates, and doing what she felt was best by the children in her care. Over time, our boy settled, and enjoyed the regular outings that they went on; exploring in the woods, visits to garden centers and cafes and even the airport just to name a few. We have seen our child develop so much over the past year, I can honestly say that we were very sad to finish our time with Emma, but we believe that she has helped prepare our boy for a new challenge, and it is wonderful to see him thriving now.
