Emma is without a doubt the best childminder we've ever had. It's been such an amazing relief for me that my daughter is always so happy and excited to go to Emma's house - she babbles on about her constantly when she's not with her too. And unsurprisingly, considering all the fun stuff they get up to - she's now been to London Zoo twice in the last year - both times with Emma! She sends the parents really sweet emails updating us on the wildlife in the park, she takes them to singing classes / the playground all the time and the food is all freshly prepared and delicious - my daughter eats so much better there than she does at home! She organises the sweetest Christmas/ Santa party in her house- which is lovely with a huge garden. Without fail every day at pickup I'll get a personalised update about what my daughter ate, how long she slept and little details about funny things she did or how she's coming on developmentally. My daughter will miss Emma so much obviously, but I really will too. She's so calm, easy to talk to and has such a brilliant sense of fun with the kids AND with the parents. I chose Emma because of all her incredible reviews on this website- I'd never seen a childminder get 100% positive comments on one of these forums- and they're all totally right! I feel very sad that we won't be seeing Emma every day anymore, but also grateful that my daughter has been so lucky to have such a special and loving 'home from home' environment in these early years. Thank you so much Emma, we all adore you.
