Outstanding childcare – we love Emma!

Reviewed

Emma is such a wonderful, nurturing person and both our boys are absolutely thriving under her care. She has looked after our youngest since he was 11 months old and he simply adores her. Emma is calm, professional, encouraging and fun! She always goes above and beyond to ensure the children in her care are happy, well-nurtured and receive wonderful, personalised activities and experiences. The outdoor education and trips are excellent: our youngest loves being in nature and we are always delighted to receive the regular photo updates and detailed handover about his day. Our eldest is always asking ‘is it an Emma day today?’ and loves his time with her. Her setting is gorgeous, clean and modern and the children are extremely well catered for. Emma is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and communicates excellently with us. As a teacher, I am extremely happy and confident in her ability to provide a first-rate early year’s education for my son. Our eldest was looked after by grandparents, so I was initially a little nervous about putting our baby into childcare outside of the family, but Emma was just brilliant. She reassured me, was so kind and understanding and was very flexible with the number of settling in sessions we had. Our son settled extremely quickly with her, building an excellent bond. This is testament to Emma’s kind and loving character; she really treats him like he is her own and as a parent, I couldn’t ask for more. We are so happy we found Emma! Both my husband and I are always at ease whenever we drop our children off, knowing that they are happy, safe and loved and will just have the best time with her. I can’t speak highly enough of Emma and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
