Excellent Childminder

Reviewed

Emma Leonard minded my little girl from when she was about 9 months (June 2009) up till she was 2 ½ years old (February 2011) and I stopped working full time. She loves Emma and loves going to her house. Even know, she still ask on a regular basis, if she can go and visit or stay with Emma.

In my eyes, Emma is an excellent childminder, she is very professional, caring and you just know the children always come first. She creates a warm, homely, safe and fun environment for all the children in her care. She regularly takes them out on outings to toddler groups, parks, the zoo, the forest, etc. As well as doing a huge rage of structured activities, like crafts, colouring, dressing-up, reading, etc, she also allows for loads of free-play time, which I believe is very important in a child’s development and allows the children to express themselves.

We regularly talked about my child’s ongoing development and it was very easy to discuss any problem areas with Emma and come to an agreement on what action needs to be taken. She is very good at getting the children into a daily routine.

Overall I felt extremely happy to leave my child in Emma’s fulltime care and would not hesitate to recommend her as a child minder to anybody.
