Highly recommended

Reviewed

I feel strongly that I need to respond to a review that has been left on this website this week regarding Emma's care. Emma cared for both my children during their school years. My daughter was in Emma's care from the age of 11 until 15 and my son from the age of 6 until 13. I cannot stress enough how pleased I was with Emma's care for both my children during their time with her and my children were both extremely happy there. If I could address a couple of points that were spoken about in the previous review, firstly I completely disagree that Emma is motivated by money. Emma was always very relaxed regarding payments and I don't recall her ever once asking for payment early! There were certainly never any mistakes on invoices at any time. Emma clearly has a real love and passion for looking after children and I truly believe that is her motivation, both my children adored her and still do. I can also honestly say I never once had any problems with my children being late for school, they were both always on time. Also there were never any issues with my children being collected from school on time and they were never left in the playground last to be collected. My son was actually a very sensitive child while he was at primary school and he would have been devastated if this was the case and would of certainly have told me. Both my children never had any bullying problems with Emma's children, in fact they would still class them as friends. Emma's children were always polite and friendly and as for Emma's husband Matt having anger issues, this would almost be laughable if it wasn't so spiteful. He is possibly one of the most loving fathers I have ever met and is extremely placid and friendly at all times and I really do not believe that he would threaten violence to anyone. I have never witnessed any type of anger from him and again both my children thought the world of him. To sum up I would highly recommend Emma to anyone who wishes for a caring and homely enviorment for their children. Emma not only looked after my children after school but also in the school holidays as my children enjoyed going there so much. And she always was wiling to help at short notice if I needed help with childcare. I am astonished by the bad review on this site and find it very spiteful. I would only ask that you at least go to Emma's home and see for yourself what a friendly and loving environment it is. In fact my daughter was so fond of Emma and her children she still visits them now.
