She’s just the best

Our daughter has been in Emma’s care since she was 10 months old until now at 2.5, and we cannot recommend Emma highly enough. Since day 1 she’s been nothing but caring, conscientious, nurturing and fun for our child.

It’s so hard leaving your child with someone but we’ve never doubted for a moment leaving our daughter with Emma. She handles all stages of child development and education with nothing but professionalism and takes her job incredibly seriously, whilst still being the most fun, imaginative and warm person we could leave our child with. It’s been amazing to watch our daughter flourish through her time with Emma.

She always has days planned with activities, learning, playing, crafting, baking, lots of outdoor time, teaching about wildlife, going to parks, play groups, libraries, and sometimes even trips to soft plays, museums, or the zoo. At both Halloween and Christmas you can see the extra thought Emma gives to making children’s lives magical - from her amazing Xmas parties (with appearances from Father Christmas!) to her fundraising Halloween decorations that draw crowds from all around. She even shows the kids how to raise butterflies in the summer!

She’s also incredibly supportive and communicative with parents. At the end of every day Emma’s able to give us a breakdown of everything that’s happened, what our daughter ate (usually everything when it comes to Emma’s food!), and somehow inbetween all this she manages to put a scrapbook together of your child’s memories so you don’t miss out on anything. She truly is wonder woman.

If this praise sounds too high, please trust me it’s not. We feel blessed to have found Emma. We’re leaving only because we’re moving away and we’d take her with us if we could! Any child would be lucky to find a place with Emma.
