We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start to Sebby’s early years than with Emma. She’s been an absolute superstar of a childminder, and saying goodbye feels incredibly emotional after such a special time.

Emma has looked after Sebby since he was just over a year old, and the bond they’ve built is amazing. It’s clear how much love and care she pours into everything she does, from the incredible outings and adventures she takes the children on, to the delicious, healthy meals she somehow always manages to whip up (I genuinely don’t know how she does it all!).

Sebby is not only always happy and thriving in Emma’s care, but we’re continually impressed by how incredibly organised and thoughtful she is. She keeps us fully informed each day, not just about how Sebby has eaten, slept, and settled, but also with helpful advice on broader matters, like how changes to government funding might affect us. On top of all that, she somehow finds the time to create photo memory books for each child she cares for, something that means so much!

Emma has played such an important role in Sebby’s life and ours, and we’re so sad to be moving on. She is truly outstanding and we can't believe how lucky we have been to have her. We’ll miss her so much!
