Childminder in Marksbury
My Summary
About Me
Spaces becoming available in 2026!
I’m a qualified teacher and mother to 3 children aged 8, 6 and 2.
I love my job and in my spare time you can find me doing aerial hoop.
Rio Kingman and I have recently opened a new childminding setting in Marksbury, operating from a non-domestic premises- something quite new and unique for the Bath area. Our aim is to offer families a high-quality, home-from-home environment while benefiting from the additional space and resources that a dedicated setting can provide.
I’m also on the BANES Livewell site
My Experience
I began my childcare career working in nurseries before going on to university to train as a primary school teacher. I then worked in primary schools and later in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school, supporting children aged 4–18. During this time, I worked closely as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to support each child’s individual communication and developmental needs. I also completed three working visits to Uganda, gaining valuable experience supporting children in a variety of educational settings.
Becoming a mother myself deepened my understanding of the importance of providing a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment, which led me to become a childminder where children feel happy, secure, and able to thrive.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our childminder and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she created a warm, welcoming environment where our daughter felt comfortable, happy, and truly cared for. It was clear that she treated the children in her care as if they were part of her own family, which meant so much to us as parents.
One of the things we appreciated most was the attention she gave to providing nutritious, homemade meals. Knowing that our daughter was being given healthy, thoughtfully prepared food each day was incredibly reassuring and showed the level of care she puts into every aspect of her work.
She always went above and beyond to make sure our daughter felt included, supported, and engaged in a variety of activities that helped with her development and confidence. It was obvious that she genuinely enjoys what she does and takes great pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment.
As a parent, one of the most important things is peace of mind, and she gave us that completely. Every time I dropped my daughter off, I felt reassured knowing she was in safe, capable, and caring hands.
Her communication was also excellent—always keeping us updated on how our daughter was doing and sharing little moments from the day that meant a lot to us.
We are incredibly grateful for the care, patience, and kindness she showed our daughter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely wonderful childminder.

Emily became such an important part of our children’s lives. She helped them grow in confidence and independence, supporting them with everyday things like getting dressed and toilet training, always with patience and care. She provided delicious, home-cooked food and took them on wonderful day trips that they were always excited about. My children truly loved going there and always felt happy, safe, and cared for. She went above and beyond to meet their individual needs and was incredibly flexible, kind, and friendly.
