Emily feels like part of our family; My son went to Emily between the ages of 5 and 11 and my daughter has been going to Emily since she was 3 - she is now 11 and in year 6. Emily provides us with before and after school childcare including drop offs and pick ups.

Emily has a genuine love of children: she is not only provides the welcoming, positive, safe and cosy environment that you would expect, but she goes over and beyond. She has provided support for homework tasks, provides crafts and messy activities, has a really fun outside play area and also has space for the children to chill out and have some quiet time if they prefer. I’m always impressed at the interaction between the children of different ages who go to Emily - my own children have made friends with others in different age groups and year groups at Emily’s who they would never have had the opportunity to get to know otherwise.

Emily is completely reliable and she always does her best to accommodate our childcare requirements (which have changed quite a few times over the years as our jobs have changed and the children have got older)

I have no hesitation in recommending a Emily as the best childminder in the area (and beyond!) In fact I wouldn’t leave my children with anyone else.

PS The review title is what my children say about Emily!
