We also visit local parks, toddler groups, go for walks and have trips out.

We have our 4-year-old Daughter who is ASD and Non-Verbal, Emma has gone above and beyond to care for our Daughter providing toys, sensory play and providing for her complex needs. Emma truly cares about all the children, how they are supported, and how their needs are met. I highly recommend Emma as a Child Minder we couldn't have asked for anyone better for our Daughter!

Emma has provided childcare services to me since August 2019 and has cared for, nurtured, supported two of my children and has done an amazing job with both my boys. Emma has a lovely inviting setting and my boys have loved their time with her and her family. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone and can’t thank her enough for all of her support, guidance and for stepping in when needed to support me too. I know the boys will always have a place for you in their heart. Thank you ‘my momma’ Thank you Emma you are amazing.

I have a 2 year old daughter who I needed childcare for so I can continue to work. A member of the family used to look after her so I was anxious when this arrangement had to be terminated. I registered on childcare.co.uk and Emma proactively approached me to ask about my requirements which I found really good for a start. I looked at the pictures on line and thought 'looks too good to be true'. How wrong could I be. Emma invited us into her home to view the setting and Ashia had a trial session. We have really noticed a difference in her the last week or so and can not thank Emma enough. She comes home talking about her day. She seems to get on really well with the other children at Emma's explorers. I could not ask for a better childminder. She gets nutritious meals every day and some lovely snacks and I get a full written report sheet about her day; food, activities, nappies, naps etc. I have been worried sick for weeks on what we were going to do and finding the right person to look after my daughter. She is a very active little girl and likes to be doing something. Emma has a wonderful range of toys and books as well as arts and crafts to keep the children occupied. She has also taken her to toddler groups. Ashia always comes back happy and bubbly and I cannot recommend Emma enough. Excellent communication. Thank you so much for everything. :)
