We also visit Whipsnade zoo, parks, forests, Soft play centres, farms and go for regular wellie walks with our wellie walk gang friends. We love to visit our local Library and garden centres as we love to be out planting flowers and growing fruit and vegetables the garden.

Emma is an excellent childcare provider. The children’s best interests are at the heart of everything she does. Such warm care, in an amazing set up. The household always feels full of the greatest happiness. My child skips and sings on the way to Emma’s setting, always leaves happy and has plenty to tell me about her day.
The weeks are well structured, full of lots of different activities to suit all little people. Communication is well documented, so you can keep memories along the way.
We are elated to have Emma as our childcare provider, if you are lucky enough to have her too, she will be a welcomed addition to your child’s life.

Emma is an outstanding child minder and has looked after my 4 children over the years. I have had good and bad experiences of childcare in the past but Emma is brilliant in every way. My youngest 2 are still with her, 4 and 6, and cannot wait to spend extra time with her in the holidays. There days are fun and educational and I know they are safe, secure and loved. Thank you Emma, don't know what I would do without you.
