Emma has been looking after our son for nearly two years, from when he was two years old.
Emma has created a lovely, warm and caring environment and our son absolutely loves her to bits. Every day there are new activities and games to play and Emma makes sure he’s learning his letters and numbers as well.
She’s so thoughtful and genuinely cares about the well-being of each child. She’s kind and lovely and funny and has the patience of a saint!
Her home is always clean and tidy, her gardens are well maintained for when the kids play outside and her street is quiet and calm. Everyday she cooks a fresh lunch and gives the children healthy snacks, but sometimes some treats too!
We love Emma so much and feel very lucky that she’s been part of our son’s life. I would very much recommend to any family looking for a childminder.

Emma is currently looking after my youngest son after having his older brother for 2 years.
Emma is highly professional and her home is warm and welcoming. She has given the upmost care to both of my sons and both have thrived in her setting. Emma is not only a childminder but has become a family friend. I will miss her when my son a moves onto nursery.
Emma’s setting is small and intimate and I found that very reassuring as I was concerned that my sons would be lost in a larger group.
I would highly recommend Emma to any family!
