Emma
Childminder in Middlewich
My Summary
About Me
My daughter and I are co-childminders in Middlewich. We have returned to childminding after a break and working in a Pre-school setting. We are both passionate about providing a safe and nurturing Early Years setting where children are excited to come through the door every day and go home chatting about the fun they have had.
We follow the EYFS and carefully consider the needs of each individual child. We offer funded places, that can be stretched if needed, full and part time spaces are available and you can also choose term time only if required. We also offer a full nutritional menu at no extra charge.
We love to take the children out and visit places such as Delemere Forest and local places of interest. We have 2 playrooms and a large secure garden and get outdoors every day, weather permitting.
Our working partnership with parents is very important to us and we use an app to share photo’s, observations and important details about your child’s day such a naps, nappy changes and meals.
We offer before and after school care to our local schools that includes age appropriate activities and a full meal service.
Our family members include my husband Simon, my younger daughter Lucy, who is currently away at university, and our friendly Labrador Jake.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Emma and Jo enough! ❤️
Since being with them, we have seen such a lovely change in our little girl. She has learnt so much, grown in confidence and developed new skills every day. She has made some lovely new friends and has had so many exciting adventures and experiences.
What we love most is how happy she is. She comes home full of stories about her day, and it’s clear how much she enjoys her time with Emma and Jo. They create such a warm, fun and nurturing environment where the children can learn, explore, play and simply enjoy being little.
As parents, knowing she is happy, cared for and having the best time while we’re at work means absolutely everything to us.
Thank you, Emma and Jo, for all the love, care, adventures and memories you give her. We’re so grateful to have found you! ❤️

We honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! They have been absolutely amazing with our daughter, who started when she had just turned one. From day one, they have been so caring, accommodating and flexible with anything we’ve ever needed.
We love how regularly they keep us updated throughout the day, with lovely photos and updates of what she’s been getting up to. They take the children on trips and provide so many lovely experiences, which we really appreciate.
Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and it’s so lovely to see how happy and settled she is there. We feel completely reassured knowing she is so well cared for, and we genuinely wouldn’t send her anywhere else. We’re so grateful for all the amazing work they do and couldn’t be happier with the nursery!
