It's hard to describe just how good a childminder Emma is but I'll try. She has a lovely house - clean and big with a lovely garden. Right next to a park and access to lots of green spaces and parks as well as shops. She creates a lovely environment where the kids feel safe, have fun, learn about all sorts of things and they can learn to interact with each other and grow and flourish. Emma is clearly very experienced and thoughtful. She is super reliable. The food she prepares for the kids is varied and healthy. She clearly cooks a lot from scratch. She teaches the children table manners. Our son comes home having learned all sorts of things.

We can't recommend Emma enough. We were considering keeping our son in for another year and not going to nursery and it was one of the hardest decisions we've made because he's so happy with Emma. Her group of kids feels like a lovely little community.

So if you're looking for a childminder in the area you need look no further than Emma!
