Childminder in Welwyn Garden City
My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder and I live in Welwyn Garden City with my partner, two sons, who are 12 and 10 and our daughter who is 6 years old.
I am close to Applecroft, and the Christchurch Parkway Preschool
I provide activities such as painting/drawing/colouring, PlayDoh, crafts, planting/gardening to ensure the children are kept entertained whilst learning new things every day.
I take the children on a daily outing to places such as toddler groups, Sherrardswood, Heartwood Forest, Local Parks and Playgrounds, Willows Farm, Moneyhole, Stanborough Lakes etc.
I am lucky to have a fairly large garden with a climbing frame, slide, ride-on toys, sand pit, sand and water table which are always available to the children.
I have many age appropriate books and toys and children have access to these in the playroom to freely choose as they wish.
I aim to provide a safe, relaxed, friendly, fun and affectionate environment in which I hope children will look forward to coming every day.

Emma has been a superb childminder to our son. From the start we had settling sessions and spoke constantly to ensure we had a smooth transition. We entrusted her with our son from the age of 9months talking babe language and now his 2years and 3months with mouth full of words. He loves going to Emma’s house and always waves goodbye with a big grin on his face. Her house is child friendly with lots of learning items and clean.
We will dearly miss you Emma and this is surely not a goodbye but a see you soon 🥰

Emma started looking after my son when he was 12 months old and he settled in her care very quickly. She was very accommodating, caring, kind and provided lots of updates throughout the day which as an anxious parent helped a lot. Her setting is very child friendly with plenty of opportunity to play and learn. They go to outings to various places such as the zoo, local parks, toddler groups, library and spend time outside on a daily basis, which was very important for us. Emma is very experienced childminder and provided lots of opportunities for my son to develop his social, emotional and motor skills, he really thrived in her care.
We will definitely miss Emma, and wholeheartedly recommend Emma to any parent who is looking for a dedicated, reliable, kind and supportive childminder.

We recently moved to the area, and I was looking for a childminder to care for my son. From our first meeting, Emma was very friendly and engaging with him. During the settling-in process, she was accommodating with the hours and days we needed. My son enjoyed a new activity every day, as Emma would take him to the zoo, library, or various events. Even during the holidays, my son wanted to return to play with Emma. As a mother I highly recommend Emma.

Since we walked into her house we knew Emma was the childminder for us. She has looked after our son from 15 months onwards and she has been very caring and loving to him. She treats him like her son in every way. She is very kind and very honest. I would highly recommend.
