My Summary
About Me
September child care availability
I have been rated Outstanding by Ofsted and have a place available.
I am an Ofsted registered childminder/mummy located
in New Malden. I have three children, Paige 19,Harry 11 and Jack is 6 years
Paige is in Leicestershire at University.
Harry attends full time secondary school.
Jack attends Malden Perochial in Worcester Park.
My home is in an excellent position for commuters with good transport links.
We are also close to many local schools and nurseries for school runs.
Children in my care will experience mornings at playgroups, trips to the Wetlands Centre, the local park, Richmond Park, library, music classes and the local community centre.
We are an active part of the community and the community centre.
I own annual passes to the Wetland Centre and Merlin annual passes to visit the Sea Life Centre, Legoland and Sea Life Sanctuaries etc.
We regularly frequent these fantastic places as well as other developmentally stimulating places such as Hobble Down children's farm (formally Horton Park farm).
Indoor activities include messy play, cooking, arts and crafts, lots of fun toys & educational toys. We also have a dedicated cubby hole for indoor imaginative play and creativity.
My home is a non smoking environment and has been checked by a local fire safety officer.
I take on a low ratio of children to incorporate the care of my own children too.
This is the perfect way for us as a family to promote socialisation, sharing and caring for others as well as ourselves thus enabling positive relationships.
All food is home cooked and meal times are a social occasion designed to encourage communication and social skills. I also hold a 5* food hygiene certificate.
I have excellent references and have recently been CRB checked.
My home has public liability insurance with Sterling Insurance and I have childcare insurance with Pacey.
I have a large, child friendly, secure garden with an even bigger selection of toys/equipment for outdoor play, including a fantastic bouncy castle that is always a child pleaser.

The children will have constant access to books and I regularly rotate toys and take the children to the toy library.

Emma has been an irreplaceable part of my sons life, she has gone above and beyond all and any of my expectations. Her enthusiasm for the children is unmatched and that is cemented when my son comes home and cannot stop talking about his day (which is filled with so much opportunity).
Emma took all my concerns away when it came to leaving my son in a childcare setting, as a first time mum! Her understanding, flexibility and clear love for what she does brings joy to each child and parent who attend there.
I am truly so grateful for finding Emma and cannot recommend her highly enough. The amenities and activities Emma provides for the children are excellent and my son always comes home with a full tummy!
Thank you so much Emma for all you do!

Aww thanks Megs. Love you
Guys.xxx
Emma looked after our daughter for several years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Emma has created a warm, nurturing environment that really is a home away from home. She genuinely cares about each child under her care, and is brilliant at ensuring their emotional needs are met.
She takes her “mindies” on fun outings, and is very flexible and accommodating. This made a world of difference to us during a busy period of our lives.
Even after our daughter moved on to school, Emma has remained an important part of her life and still babysits for us regularly – something our daughter absolutely looks forward to!
Emma is everything you could hope for in a childminder – loving, dependable, thoughtful, and truly invested in the children she looks after. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

For the past three and a half years, Emma has been an absolute lifeline for our family, caring for our two boys as if they were her own. She has created a safe haven for my children, where kindness isn't just a word but a core value. I've watched as she's nurtured them, helping my eldest with his reading and writing and ensuring they both eat nourishing, home-cooked meals. She understands the importance of fresh air and play, and my boys spend a lot of time outdoors with her (frequent day trips to chessington, sea world, hobble down, soft play, splash pools in summer), which I truly believe has made them the happy, well-adjusted children they are today.
What makes Emma so special, though, is that she's more than a childminder; she's a true bonus mom to my sons. She has been there for us during emergencies on countless occasions, always stepping in without hesitation. The boys adore her, and frankly, I don't know what we would have done without her. She's been an invaluable part of our lives, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Thank you so much. Love you guys.xx
Emma has been an incredible part of our family’s life, caring for our twin boys from the age of one and our daughter from ages three to seven. From the very beginning, she has provided a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment that our children absolutely adore.
Emma’s approach to childcare is both caring and educational. She engages the children in fun, developmentally appropriate activities and frequently takes them on enriching outings to places like the zoo, playgrounds, and other exciting venues. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in everything she does—from the nutritious meals she prepares to the thoughtful way she supports their emotional and social development.
What truly sets Emma apart is her reliability and flexibility. She has been there for us in emergencies and outside of regular hours, always with a calm and reassuring presence. Her support has been invaluable to our family.
To our children, Emma is more than a childminder—she’s like an auntie. And to us, she’s become a cherished member of our extended family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so kind, dependable, and genuinely invested in our children’s happiness and growth.
We wholeheartedly recommend Emma to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Emma is a warm and caring childminder who is highly skilled and capable. I have a boisterous son and she had no problem helping him to settle in and took it all of his bouncy behaviour in her stride. My son and daughter also loving going to her home and talk about her with enthusiasm and delight. She is fun and caring and completely trustworthy. She’s also highly reliable and is flexible being able to do extra hours when I needed them. Her home is child friendly and a lovely environment. She provides delicious and nutritious food. She also plays games and is a very fun loving and caring person. I can’t recommend her enough!! I’m so glad I found this gem!!!

If I could give Emma more stars I would! I couldn't begin to put into words how amazing she is!!
Firstly She's always there as & when I need her (babysitting & one of care) and most importantly my son loves her, her house & all the other children so much he doesn't want to come home.
As soon as you enter Emma's house, you can feel the happiness, laughter & love everyone has. The smile on all the children's faces says it all.
From a very LARGE collection of books, to amazing garden toys I know my son is the best care possible. Without fail, I'm informed of what my son does on a daily basic, from what his played with, learned & what his had for tea. You can tell straight away the bond she has with all the children, and how much she loves her job. I can't fault her in anyway, I would highly recommend her to anyone. Nothing but good words to say!
She takes all the of ofsted regulations very seriously and always follows the guidelines and advise which is all documented.
So thankful I found someone who's so reliable, kind, tidy, loving !
Couldn't thank her enough. X

We can't quite believe our luck finding Emma. She's become like a member of the family. She never lets us down, I can always rely on Emma to help me out at the drop of a hat, she is kind, caring & considerate, both my children adore her, it's always fun, fun fun at Emma's house! My little boy was really shy & clingy, not good around other people at all when he started going to Emma, I can't believe the difference in him in such a short time, his social skills, speech, confidence have developed beyond recognition. He gets to do so much when he's with Emma, she takes her mindees out to really fun, exciting & inspirational places & she also seems to have more to do at home in the way of equipment, books, toys etc than I have seen at any private nursery. There are loads of spaces & different environments to explore at Emma's, she has a great garden filled with lots of areas (playhouses, sheds, enormous sand pit, tents...you name it!)
I seriously don't know where she gets her boundless energy from. Keep up the good work!

Aww bless you, that is a lovely review.
Thank you so much.
Your little man makes it very easy I assure you!!
Lots of love
Em
We have two sons in which over the years Emma has taken care of. We had tried other childminders in the past but, was never completely happy,so when we Finally came a crossed Emma, it was a total blessing. As a working parent you want to know that when you leave your child they are safe and happy. With Emma I know I can go to work reassured that my children are in an environment where not only are they happy and safe BUT, they are looked after as if they are her own children. They are given the stability of a daily routine, fun, learning activities and even cuddles when needed.
On top of everything Emma does for our children she is also great with us. She is very patient, always happy to explain ANYTHING to us and most importantly keeps us posted on how our boys are doing during the day. Emma's attitude to not only the children she cares for but to us, the parents is amazing and because she keeps us so well updated with what our boys are doing and learning it makes me feel like I am not missing out on so much with them while at work and for me this is so important.
For us she is Truly more then just a childminder and for that we are so grateful.

Emma has been looking after our two year old daughter once or twice a week for the last ten months. She is very professional, caring and has a really lovely and fun personality. Our daughter adores her and has learnt so much during the time she has spent with her. They do lots of fun activities (I'm sometimes jealous that I can't come with them too!) indoors and outdoors, Emma has lovely child friendly house and garden.
She takes all the of ofsted regulations very seriously and always follows the guidelines and advise which is all documented.
She is very reliable, trustworthy and amazing with kids. The best thing is that you can tell she really loves spending time with kids and makes you feel part of the family! Don't know what we would do without her!

Emma is totally wonderful in every way - reliable, punctual, kind, thoughtful, tidy, loving and a truly good person. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone as my little boy adores her and has so much fun with her. I don't want anyone to steal her away from us though as I have no idea how I ever managed without her!
