My son Alex has been with Emma for almost a year and half. I had to return to work in January 2013, and so Alex started with Emma when he was only 6 months old. It’s scary to leave your baby, especially at such a young age, but Emma made us as parents feel comfortable and confident straight away. Emma was keen to get to know our son, his likes and dislikes, and his routine. We keep a journal between us to discuss anything happening with Alex. She writes everything that they get up to throughout the day, including meals, naps, playtimes, and often sends photos throughout the day which I love!

It was a coincidence that Emma had looked after a colleague of mine’s little girl. She was so highly recommended I couldn’t think to look elsewhere! Emma is fantastic with the kids in her care. You can see that they really love her. Her house is excellent for little ones to run around in. She has a large garden with loads of fun toys for kids to enjoy. She often buys new things so that the little ones are constantly learning and developing. They also often go to toddler groups and visit with other childminders and kids.

We have so loved having Emma look after Alex. She has encouraged Alex to learn and grow and gives him lots of praise. He loves going to her house and playing with the other kids, but especially loves her three boys. It’s only because of a change in job circumstances that we are moving on. Thank you Emma for all your care and love for our little boy! We’ll so miss you!
