We’ve had an excellent experience with Emma as a childminder over the last 10 months. This was the first time our 3 year old son had been in another care setting and Emma did a great job of getting him settled in; he is excited to go to hers and his confidence has really improved. She is very warm and caring, and always looking to engage with our son's interests. They do lots of stimulating activities (which we get regular photos and reports on) and Emma plays an active part in developing independent skills. She is very open and encourages discussion and engagement with parents and has lots of insights into childcare that have been very valuable. We would highly recommend her services.
