***No Availability for Childminding***
Ofsted graded OUTSTANDING
I offer a warm, friendly, home from home environment with lots of books, toys and activities for stimulation and learning (and, of course, fun!). In addition to these, we attend many local libraries, children’s centres, parks & playgroups. We are lucky to live in a vibrant, diverse area with lots of great things to do and I like to make the most of this, to the benefit of the children in my care. I believe that children learn and gain confidence through experience and independence, my aim is to provide a safe environment that encourages and enables this.
I am a member of the Forest Childcare Association and I provide lots of opportunities for outdoor fun and learning about mini beasts and our environment. Forest School is something that I want all of the children in my care to have the opportunity to do. In addition to visiting local parks, farms and woods, I utilise our local Community Garden Forest School for regular forest school activities.
Outings we have enjoyed include:
- China Town for Lunar New Year
- Out and About Swanley Park
- Eltham Palace
- Lesnes Abbey
- Greenwich Ecology Park
- Royal Victoria Dock, 'pop-up' beach
- Hall Place, Bexley
- London Aquarium
- National Maritime Museum
- Paradise Wildlife Park
- Discover Centre, Stratford
- Transport Museum
- Horniman Museum
- Science Museum
- Surrey Docks Farm
- Kassiopi Cove Soft Play
- Greenwich Heritage Centre
- Westbrook Bay
My home is on a quiet road close to both Woolwich Dockyard and Woolwich Arsenal stations and excellent bus routes. There is free parking available on adjacent streets.
- I am currently co-childminding with another Ofsted registered childminder, Tracey Rehal, so we can support the children together on their learning journey.
- If you are a parent looking for school pick ups, please list on your profile which school it is that your child attends -
Please Note: I do not do nursery runs as it restricts the activities and outings my minded children and I can enjoy. I adhere to the same curriculum as nurseries but in a smaller, home setting with much smaller ratios where more 1 to 1 attention is guaranteed. Some nurseries are fantastic but not every child is comfortable in a group setting, I offer an alternative for those children.
If you think I can help you or if you would like any further information please contact me.

Our son has been with Emma for more than six months and we couldn't be happier with the way she looks after him.
From settling-in, to policies and daily routines, Emma's communication has been excellent. She logs all events (food, nappies, naps) in a book for a quick daily handover. She tailors her care to the needs of each child and supports development of new skills. Emma is patient and kind, and has a positive attitude. The activities she provides are varied and involve lots of time out and about. We love that there are weekly play sessions with other childminders and children, as well as trips to parks, forests, museums, etc.
With Emma, our son has lots of exposure to new and different experiences, always in a caring and supportive environment. Most importantly, he is so happy when he is with Emma. We can see that all of the children in her care adore her, and that's the best review of all!
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma to any parents looking for an outstanding childminder.

Emma is fantastic with our little one and he loves his days with her and has really thrived. A loving environment, lots of trips out and about and freshly home cooked food are just some of the great things about Emma's setting. We would highly recommend her.

The title really says it all.
From the minute we began discussing leaving our daughter in her care Emma has been an incredible source of relief and support for us as new parents.
Her communication is stellar, her relationship with us as parents has been nothing short of saintly. She has been patient with us and worked with us to give our daughter the very best experience outside of our home.
Her relationship with our daughter has been great too. She is filled with joy when we drop her off and looks very much at home when we pick her up. Again her communication about how our daughter has spent the day is incredibly beneficial and it's really a very stress-free relationship that we couldn't be more happy with.
Emma encouraged our daughter's developmental needs and also filled her time with visits to local baby groups and trips to outdoor spaces such as parks. We see how positively this has affected our child as she now enjoys going on trips with us with ease.
We are sad to say goodbye and wish her nothing but the best. You and your child cannot be in better hands with Emma. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work. Our daughter will miss you.

Our daughter loves Emma and being in her care. It's clear that they have bonded very quickly and our little one has the confidence to explore and grow with Emma.
Emma ran a very smooth settling in period for our daughter which helped her (and us the parents) to feel comfortable and confident very early on. She has a small in home setting which our daughter finds very safe and reassuring. She also works closely with other local childminders to give the children a much wider range of experiences than would be possible in a purely in home setting, such as regular larger group play sessions in the local community hall, forest school trips to museums/events etc.
Our daughter loves Emma's dog, which is very friendly. We're very happy that she has the opportunity to be around such a happy pet.
Emma is a lovely person and great childminder. She communicates clearly, is easy to contact and responds in good time. She is flexible in terms of covering additional days when required, as well as pick up / drop off times. In terms of admin and logistics she is straight forward and very easy to work with.

Finding Emma was the best thing that has happened to us. Our little boy started going to Emma three days a week at 10 month, and from the very first day we met he settled straight away with Emma. Her upbeat nature, and excellent care has helped our shy little one to comes out of his shell, becoming a happy playful toddler. We communicate on a daily basis, and Emma always makes sure we are well informed about our child's day, his food and drink intake, and his development. She takes the children out to a variety of activities, enabling them to play and explore. At home, she encourages the children to learn new skills, to laugh, to sing, and to have a fun time.
As I come back to work, Emma's support and flexibility meant I always have peace of mind that my son is safe, being well taken care off, and is happy when he's away from me. On days when we were caught up in urgent situations, Emma fed, changed, and got my son all ready for his bedtime before dropping him off to us. As a mother I'm very grateful for her care and dedication.
On top of that, my little one has developed a fond relationship with Arthur Henry (the bulldog), who he sees as a sibling. Often when I come to pick him up, he would be laughing and playing with Arthur, who is such a playful gentle soul. I believe that his relationship with Arthur is greatly important as part of his social development with other adults, children, and animals.
Emma has truly created an environment where my kid and others are safe, and are thriving in their own unique capacity.
