My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified Ofsted Registered Childminder since 2014, and also a member of PACEY. I live close to Wood Green Station. I am Italian and live with my 2 grown up children one attending university and one working full time. I am able to offer a limited number both 15 & 30 hours free funded places.
Aims
To provide a safe, happy, stimulating and caring environment so that your child can learn to play, develop their self confidence and communicate to the best of their ability. To provide your child with support and guidance through a wide range of experiences and resources.To provide a well planned curriculum that meets the needs of each individual child and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. To work in partnership with parents and make good use of available professional support.
I work along side with 2 Assistants who are DBS checked, and have childcare training including Pediatric First Aid and Safeguarding.
My Experience
The ground floor of my house is dedicated to childminding. I have a big garden with a lot of outdoor equipment toys and games for the children to play and explore with. Children are free to move to access the large range of toys and activities I provide. I have child minded children from 3 months to 12 years. I provide a safe, secure and fun, home from home environment. All children up to school reception age have their own learning journey, to record their learning and development. I take photos of places we visit, learning activities through play and any pictures or paintings the children do throughout the day, so can get a clear idea of your child's. We tend to go out in the morning and be back home in time for lunch. After lunch is nap time for the younger children who need it and quiet time for the older children where they can read a book, do a puzzle etc. A typical week will involve: visiting a soft play centre, going to play group, going to the park, lots of playing, colouring, singing, reading books and most of all having fun. Children are encouraged to share their ideas and interests, what they would like to do and where they would like to go within the safe limits of my care.

thanks to this platform I met Emanuela. She is really polite, loving person and treats all children very well as if they were her childrens. I immediately trusted her and already at 6 months old my son started going to her house. she does lots of activities she offers good fresh cuisine every day. and she helps us parents in everything. Emanuela and her wonderful team have always given me trust and teaching. number 1.
Many thanks Emanuela!!!

Emy has had my boy since November 2023, her and her team are amazing. They know his routine, his likes and dislikes and he has settled in perfectly. Emy and her team feed him fresh food, breakfast, lunch and diner with snacks all included. She is extremely understanding, maternal and loving. My son Loves her and everyone she works with and so do I! It's like leaving him with Family. The communication and daily updates are all well received and I appreciate them.
Thank you Emy for making me so comfortable and allowing me to go back to work with no stress about childcare x

We absolutely love Emy and her team.
Our little boy has been going here since he was 9months old and we are incredibly happy with how well he growing and developing at Emy’s.
Emy is extremely considerate and has created a warm, loving and fun environment for all the children.
We wouldn’t have him anywhere else!

We seriously got lucky the first time around with Emy! My son absolutely loves her! From the first time we met her, he was very comfortable with her and her staff!
Her establishment is welcoming, clean and her staff are amazing! You are always greeted with a smile! I love the fact that she speaks another language which is a bonus for my son! She is also local to us (double bonus)
My son has been doing so well since he started, already counting from 1-10, and singing his ABCs all before he turned 2! She is well equipped for all learning stages and they keep me updated with his daily learning and playing activities.
I would highly recommend Emy to anyone looking for childminding services.
Thank you Emy and God bless you xx

My partner and I feel so lucky to have found Emy’s. After a negative experience at nursery we couldn’t be happier with the love and care our son receives at Emy’s. Emy and her staff are kind and professional. They communicate with us fantastically well and it is such a relief to know my son is so happy and well looked after. He walks in with a smile on his face every day and is always sad to leave. I highly recommend Emy and her team.

My daughter started with Emy when she was 7 months and settled in well before Covid lockdown. She started back in August and couldn’t be happier. The bond Emy and her assistants have with the children is amazing. My daughter smiles when I drop her off in the morning and is having a great time when I come to collect her. Emy has even got my baby feeding herself, something she refused to do for my husband and I. I can’t recommend her more and if in doubt just arrange a visit and see for yourself.

My daughter started with Emy just before she turned one a year ago. Emy and her friendly assistants have created a lovely environment for the children which feels like a home away from home. We did settling in sessions and I received pictures and updates via WhatsApp so could always feel comfortable from the start knowing my child is happy, smiling and being well looked after. They do many activities and outings. They are interested in and respectful of my parenting style regarding sleep habits and routines etc which means a lot to me and my daughter is always happy when I pick her up. In fact she often doesn’t want to leave! I am confident in the care I have seen emy and her assistants giving all the children. They are generous, patient and communicate well - I feel lucky to have found them and highly recommend.

My son is with Emy from 2 months. He is so happy, he loves to be there. He developed his social, speaking, singing and feeding skills.
This is the greatest place for my son.
