Welcome to Emss Home Nursery

We are a private home-based childcare setting offering quality and flexible care for children from birth to 12 years old.
With small group sizes, individual attention, and a warm home-from-home environment, we ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive and prepare confidently for school life.

Our setting is filled with open-ended play resources, learning materials, and engaging activities designed to nurture imagination, curiosity, and development. Each day is carefully planned to suit your child’s individual needs, interests, and developmental stage.

We believe “A happy child is a messy child”—and we encourage children to explore, be creative, and enjoy endless opportunities for sensory and messy play.

About Me – Emete (Emss)

My name is Emete, known as Emss, and I am a mum of three. I have more than seven years’ experience working in Mental Health and Autism support with adults, and a passion for teaching that grew during the first lockdown when I began homeschooling my eldest.

Starting Emss Home Nursery has allowed me to create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel at home while learning and achieving new milestones. I believe strongly in learning through play, building confidence, and celebrating every achievement.

I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care and continue to study and train regularly to stay up-to-date with changes in the EYFS.

I also work alongside an Ofsted-registered agency, supporting new educators across the country in opening their own home nurseries. The agency also supports parents with funding guidance and manages invoices through the parent app.

My mission is simple:

To unlock the potential in every child.



Testimonials

‘ I am so glad I found Emss Home Nursery, communication has been perfect from the very first time I made contact. Welcoming, friendly and very caring. My son settled in really well, he feels at home and comfortable. He has made great friends and always speaks about his day happily. I would recommend this nursery highly, you can rest assured knowing your little one are in a caring, loving and safe environment’

“Finding someone to look after your children can be the toughest decision if you're a parent like me who finds it so hard to trust. Emss cared for my children aged 9 and 7. Having a son who has autism was a major concern for me. Emss made my son feel like he was home away from home. He didn't want to come home, which was the sign I needed for him. She is gentle, caring, and most of all professional in what she does. As the parent, I kept contacting her to know all was well, and her reassurance gave me peace and trust. At the end of the day, she puts pictures and detailed information on the childrens profile so i can see what they've been up to. She knows her stuff, and I'd highly recommend using her services without worry. Your child/children will be absolutely safe and happy. Thank you Emss”
