Emine's Reviews

This is your childminder!

STOP! Look no further! This is your childminder!

My daughter Adele started with Emine when she was 9 months old and didn't cry once from the very start because she felt so instantly at home. When we came for an initial visit I could tell right away that this was a warm, friendly, safe, and fun environment. Childcare is not just a job for Emine. It's a vocation. Sometimes if I came a few minutes early, I would sit while the other parents came to pick up their kids. With each individual child, Emine's face lights up as she describes their progress for the day. She genuinely cares about each kid and celebrates their successes.

The space is open and bright and there are always new play areas set up and new decorations on the walls. My daughter came home with new words and funny little songs all the time. Emine and her assistant Sumeira are great at sending little updates throughout the week with pictures of their outings. They go to the park, to the petting zoo, and even went on a field trip to the transport museum.

Adele would run into Emine's in the morning and didn't want to leave in the afternoon. Leaving your child somewhere for the day can be distressing and it was such a relief to know that she was having the time of her life and was so well taken care of while I was at work. The environment is so lovely and personable, all the kids end up really bonded with one another. Even us parents became friends because Emine and Sumeira create such a welcoming environment!

AND the food slaps! She once slow roasted a chicken for 5 hours until it was falling off the bone and did a whole roast for the kids! Sumeira's father runs a butcher so they get fresh deliveries every day just for the kids. All the meals are home cooked and super hearty. Adele ate lots of things with Emine that she wouldn't even eat at home!

I can't say enough good things about Emine. She is doing something really special that you don't get with every childminder or every nursery. We only left because we moved too far away and my daughter has been asking about Emine ever since. If we could have, we would have stayed and stayed!

The most incredible care every day for our 2 boys!

I cannot begin to say how lucky we are to have found Emine on this platform when looking for childcare for our first son two years ago. He's now been with Emine for two years and our second son has joined him 6 months ago. They both absolutely love Emine and we know that they are receiving the best.

Emine is the warmest person we could have hoped for to be looking after our two boys. The main thing I can share that shines through every day is that she invests and cares deeply about every single child. She is excited to see them each day and our boys light up when they see her. We have complete confidence that this is the best place for our boys and count ourselves lucky to have found her in a huge world of uncertainty when looking for childcare, especially childminders, as there is lots of options.

It's hard to think of everything that is great about Emine but here is a list of things I can think of right now:
- Her communication with us is brilliant, she keeps us informed of everything.
- The food she gives the kids (breakfast, lunch and dinner!) is home cooked and lovely - I often get to try some at pick up
- She takes the kids on little adventures to local parks and museums
- She sets up new activities every day
- We receive picture updates and nap update on a great app
- She works around our preference for the boys nap schedule
- She creates a connection with each child
- She reads with them often!
- She fosters a great environment for friendship between the other children
- And lots lots more

Hopefully you can see from this review that Emine is an absolutely fantastic childminder and if you are looking for someone to trust your kids with every day, I would recommend her in a heart beat.

We love chatting to her at the start and end of each day and we are so grateful that we found her, having kids is not easy but knowing that they are in an supportive and caring environment when you drop them off each day just relieves stress and worry. She cares deeply for our boys and that surely is the main thing! I'm very happy to be a reference if you want to ask any questions.

Thank you Emine for being such an incredible person in our lives these last two years!

We absolutely recommend Emine!

We are so happy we found Emine and we highly recommend her. Our little daughter started when she was 1 and she has been so happy to be with Emine she doesn’t even look back when I leave her. Emine is warm, caring and imaginative always organising fun activities and little trips outside, whether in the local parks or the library. The set up has everything a toddler might need! There is even a small slider :) She also cooks fresh health meals everyday which my daughter enjoys. She always comes home happy!
