Emma has been looking after my eldest, who is now 4, for over 2 years, and my 2yr old for over a year.

I didn't enter into the search for a childminder lightly and feel very lucky to have found Emma on this site: right place, right time! She is exactly the person that fussy old me was looking for. She provides a nurturing,stimulating, fun and varied environment; is a responsible and highly capable childminder with brilliant organisational skills and somehow maintains a great sense of humour, reflected in the kids' daily diaries. She provides a selection of nutritious meals and somehow manages to get my youngest to eat foods he doesn't ordinarily touch at home! My 2 boys settled in without any quibbles whatsoever and needless to say are extremely fond of her and her 3 lovely children .

Her home offers a great space for the kids to play in, with a fab garden and the home is handily situated next to a recreation ground.

I am delighted to have found Emma and would not hesitate in recommending her as a childminder.
