Our eldest child graduated from Emma’s childminding a few years ago, and our youngest has just finished his time there. Our elder is now thriving at school on all fronts—academic, recreational, and social—and we strongly believe that his foundational development at Emma’s played a huge part in his success.

Our younger had an equally amazing experience. He is summer-born, so we chose to have him spend an extra year with Emma. We knew that this additional year in his home-away-from-home would be the greatest gift we could give him for the future. It truly is the most warm and nurturing environment you could wish for.

Emma is a complete all-rounder. Her playfulness is adored by the children, and it is complemented by fantastic communication and incredible attentiveness that puts parents completely at ease. In over six years, from the very first day of settling in, I never once worried about either of my children.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the impact Emma has had on our kids. Seeing the tiny beings they were when they started and the wonderful people they have become, we know these were their defining years. We feel absolutely blessed to have had Emma in their lives. Without a doubt, she is the greatest of all time.

My only regret is I never had any of her beloved dinners. Always smelled yummy at pick-up time.
