Emmie looked after my 2 year old daughter for 10 months this year, at extremely short notice, and was flexible and accommodating of my varied work schedule. My daughter went from being quite a quiet, socially unconfident child to an outgoing, enthusiastic go-getter, due to being stimulated with exciting creative activities, mixing with other well mannered, happy children of various age groups that Emmie looks after, Emmie's 11 year old daughter who treated my little one like a sister, and Emmie and her husband's kind, family like approach in their well equipped home with a lovely garden and lots of toys, lots of day trips, playing in the park, feeding the ducks and sometimes further afield child centred outdoor activities. My daughter would be banging on the door in the morning to go in, and came home every day with things that she had made. I can't recommend Emmie enough, we miss her very much now we have moved away.
