Emma has cared for my daughter from 9 months to almost 2. Since day 1 Emma has always made us feel so comfortable about the care, always keeping us updated with pictures and a breakdown of her day.

Emma has such a caring presence with the kids and goes above and beyond to ensure that they are constantly having a good day and learning new things. Whether it’s having the confidence to start walking or improving eating habits! She teaches the kids important skills that was helpful and transitioned to home life too. Our daughter has adapted to being around other kids so well and I know that’s due to the friendships that’s she made with the help of Emma.

Emma has always made sure that kids ate healthy nutritious meals and snacks and learnt the importance of eating together too. The environment Emma has built is great for the kids too, new rotation of toys and a great garden to give the kids space to explore and play. Also the daily trips outside to make sure the kids are the always exploring and seeing new things and interacting with others.

We will always be grateful for the impact Emma has made on our little family as she helped us through those early years been new parents always giving us advice and assurance we were doing well. We will miss our daily chats and i know our girl will miss the lovely time she’s had with Emma and her family and Lou Lou (the cat).

I couldn't recommend Emma enough for playing the critical role of a child minder for us with such a caring, loving and warm attitude.

Emma cared for our daughter for 3 months. Sadly we had to leave London sooner than planned. We are so sad so have to say goodbye to Emma and her family.

Emma has been an absolute godsend to us. As first time parents we have been so grateful for her guidance and support. She is very friendly and kind and our daughter adores her.

I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to any parent looking for a caring setting for their little one. I am not sure we will find anyone else like her again!

Emma has looked after our son three days a week for almost a year, since he was one. We were initially tempted to go with a nursery and are so pleased we didn't - Emma provides such a nurturing, positive and fun environment for children. She gives individual care and attention to each child and they form strong bonds with her as she is so kind and caring. She has treated our son like part of her family and put me at ease immediately - she is incredibly experienced and a safe pair of hands. Her home also has a beautiful spacious and contained garden which the children can play in every day - it is a perfect environment for little ones!

The children she looks after learn manners, eat healthy food together and get on very well. They go out for lovely activities every day such as visiting parks and playgrounds, seeing ducks, even going to Museums and other play areas. We would have loved her to look after our son for much longer but sadly moved house.

Emma is also very flexible, reliable and great with communication - provided regular photos of our son playing and reassured us with photos when he was settling in and might get upset at drop off that he was honestly fine a couple of minutes later. If you are considering Emma as your childminder I wouldn't hesitate - we were so lucky to have her look after our son and couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so so much Emma!
