I could not be happier with Emma or sing her praises high enough. From day one, I instantly knew that my son would be happy in her home and I felt such trust and assurance leaving him with her. She really is everything you hope and dream of finding in a childminder. Emma has looked after my son since before he could crawl at 9 months, starting with one day and progressing to three days now he is a running mini-toddler of 15 months. Emma’s home is always so welcoming, warm, relaxed and loving. My son always has a day that is balanced by interesting activities, lots of time outdoors, yet good playtimes in the house too. All this interspersed with nutritious home-cooked food, eaten all together at the table. Emma is also really organised and the admin side of childcare is taken care of seamlessly. There are daily diary entries for my son full of everything he has been up to. Emma’s own three children are wonderful and I love how they clearly enjoy spending time with the little ones. My son adores them. I feel truly blessed and thankful to have found this peaceful, happy, fun place for my son to enjoy every week.

Emma has been our childminder for over seven years – first with my son, and then my daughter. She is truly incredible and I cannot imagine our children’s lives without her, she has enriched them immeasurably. Calm, engaged and funny, Emma’s care is warm and meticulous. The environment Emma creates for the children is varied and stimulating, with lots of time outdoors in local parks and woods, at local playgroups, or at home and in the garden with great toys and learning toys/games. Emma’s knowledge of the early years’ curriculum and children’s age appropriate needs is exceptional. A beautiful, nurturing environment where children flourish.

Emma Pollock has been our childminder for over 10 years – first with my son and then my daughter. She is truly incredible and I cannot imagine our children’s lives without her, she has enriched them immeasurably. She has a reputation as the best around for a reason. Calm, always engaged and very funny, her care is warm and meticulous. My children have flourished under her full-time care, and now in after-school care. The environment Emma creates for the children is varied and stimulating, with lots of time outdoors in local parks and woods, at local playgroups, or at home and in the garden with great toys and learning toys/games. Emma’s knowledge of the early years’ curriculum and children’s age-appropriate needs is exceptional. A beautiful, nurturing environment where children flourish.
