Emma has had my daughter for only a year, but it was the best year ever! She loving, positive and fun. My daughter never wanted to come home and spoke about Emma all the time at home. They do plenty of activities like soft play and toddler group, my daughter has really thrived since coming here. I wish I met Emma sooner, she’s not just a childminder she’s an actual angel. We are going to miss her so much

Emma looked after my daughter from the age of 11 months until 6 years, offering school pick ups once she was older. My daughter adores Emma and her whole family, who have welcomed her into their home. Emma was flexible around my work and fun - offering craft activities, outdoor play and encouraged to make good friendships and learn from the other children she met and has made friendships for life. I highly recommend Emma to provide childcare and have already done so to others.

Emma has had my eldest son since July 2013 when he first started school, and she has had my youngest son since April 2018 when he was 9 months old.
Emma was the first childminder I ever used and I wouldn't have my children anywhere else. She offers nurturing and fun care for them and I have really seen a huge difference in my youngest son's development over the past 2 years- He was counting, knew colours and many other things way before his time and this is down to Emma. They both enjoy their time with Emma and the other children and I fully trust them being in her care. She takes them to many playgroups and soft play, which my youngest son loves! He even calls me Emma sometimes 🤣
If you are looking for a fantastic childminder, look to further!

Emma has a kind, warm and loving heart. She looked after my son for over a year and her flexible working made it really easy for me to plan her drop-off and my pick-ups around her time. Emma also helped out with picking up my son from school, and on Tuesday evenings, dropping him off for his Karate lessons, which without her support and assistance it would have proved extremely difficult for my son to attend Karate.
It was a sad moment when I decided to end the contract with Emma, which was due to my son now much older and capable and confident to come home from school on his own. My son really enjoyed his stay with Emma and got to know the rest of the family and no doubt, he will miss her dearly.
Thank you for all your support and kindness you showed towards my son and for looking after him in my absence. We will miss you Emma.
If you're looking for a child minder...Emma's your choice!

Emma has provided pick up and after school childcare for my daughter for the last two years and can whole heartedly recommended her. She provides a lovely welcoming 'home from home' environment and is great with my daughter who has always loved going even from the start. We no longer require childcare but i won't hesitate to use Emma when we need childcare provision in future.

Emma was great right from the start, I needed a child minder ASAP and Emma was really helpful and fitted me in straight away.
My daughter loves Emma and will even run up to her after school to tell her about her day!

Im sad for my son to be leaving Emma, I was always very happy and felt confident leaving him from the off even when he was upset at first, Emma would send me photos and videos throughout the day so that I could be reassured he was happy.
Emma has been super flexible making the juggling act between me collecting my older son from school getting my younger one from her as easy as possible.
The whole 'childminder' thing was brand new to me and a bit daunting before meeting Emma but I can honestly say to others now it has been a positive experience and I can thoroughly recommend Emma for the care of your child.

Emma has had my daughter since January 2017 and choosing Emma has been the best decision we made. She settled in well very quickly and loves the other children. I have really noticed my daughters development has come on since going to Emma's and I feel really comfortable knowing she is in a safe and loving environment when I'm at work. Emma takes the children to play groups and does activities with them which is lovely to see. Emma's house is exceptionally clean and all the children in her care are happy and play nicely together. I feel very lucky that we found Emma and really recommend her - in fact one of my daughters first words is Em-ma!

Emma looked after my son for a year after school care and pickup. During his time he really enjoyed his time with Emma. The home environment she provides is safe and friendly and very welcoming. I would have continued to use Emma for my childcare requirements for years had it not been due to relocation.

My daughter was incredibly clingy so I was quite nervous about leaving her with a childminder, but Emma took her under her wing and with trips to play groups, meeting up with other childminders and their children and lots of baking, my little girl came out of her shell! My daughter found a new confidence whilst in Emma's care which I hope will make her move to pre school a smooth transition.
