My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Requires Improvement
9 September 2024
A recent inspection of a childcare provider revealed both strengths and areas for improvement. Children benefit from a warm, affectionate approach that helps them settle quickly and supports their emotional well-being. Communication development is effectively supported through clear speech, conversations, and songs. However, significant improvements are needed in understanding child development, curriculum planning, and consistent behavior management. The inspection recommends further professional development to enhance knowledge of how young children develop and learn.

Excellent babysitter

5 stars

Emma didn't know our kids before and set them at ease from a very first moment. They felt comfortable to stay with her without us and we're very happy with her company. Very professional, experienced and good with kids

Aw thank you for your lovely review. It’s a pleasure to care for him.

Excellent childminder!

5 stars

Our daughter Ella (aged 5) loves being looked after by Emma. Ella has been picked up from school twice a week for over a year, and thoroughly enjoys her time with Emma. Ella particularly likes that she gets plenty of outdoor time at the park. Emma clearly cares for the children she looks after, is qualified and experienced, completely dependable, and excellent at communicating with us. We highly recommend Emma to any parent looking for a childminder.

What a lovely review thank you.
Ella is a pleasure to care for.

Excellent childcare

5 stars

Emma is a kind and patient childminder who cares for our 3 children before and after school. We have twin boys, who are 3 and a daughter who is 5. We know the children are in very capable hands with Emma. She does an incredible job ensuring they are safe on the school run. She always communicates very clearly on how the kids are and if there is anything we need to know from their teachers. Emma is very reliable and we know we can count on her, which makes juggling work and the children much easier. She is flexible and is always keen to help where she can. We really appreciate everything Emma does to support our children.

Fantastic

5 stars

Emma is a wonderful childminder. She currently takes care of my 3 year old daughter. She has taken care of her since she was 18 months old. My daughter loves her time with Emma. She's really kind and provides a wonderful, safe and nurturing environment. My daughter is always happy with her. My daughter did lots of activities with her like painting, crafting and many more outdoor activities. In addition to that, Emma provides my child with healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.
I can’t recommend her enough to other parents!
