My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Emma and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I have been childminding for over 10 years now and absolutely love it. I work from a playroom cabin in the garden designed for childminding and we also use the house aswell so the setting flows throughout.
I provide friendly, supportive home from home childcare in a positive environment enhancing each individual childs learning and development through play activities, experience and above all lots of fun and smiley faces.
I am currently working mainly from my playroom cabin in the garden which is great as we can be as messy and noisy as we want to with access to the garden and out door activities at all times.
We enjoy outdoor activities and lots of messy play. Also trips out for the day are proving to be a big hit.
We enjoy going out for trips to the local playgroups, Ferry Meadows, Sacrewell Farm and walks to the local woods and Orton Mere.
I also use a system called babysdays which is an online system for parents to receive pictures, daily diary, food and activities we have done throughout the day. Its also a good way for parents to see what their children do all day and receive updates throughout the day.
I am extremely flexible as I know managing children and work isn’t the easiest but that’s why I’m here to help.
My Experience
I am a mother of 6 children which is the best experience I could have. I have also used childminders in the past so I know what is expected.
To compliment my experiences I have gained all the relevant training and qualifications for childminding and have also completed my level 3 diploma in childcare.

I cannot recommend Emma enough! She has been such a great, lovely childminder, everything we could have asked for. Both my girls - started with Emma at 1yo and 3.5yo - 2 years ago - and they absolutely love her. My eldest only went occasionally as she was already at preschool and then primary school, but my youngest was with Emma for 2 years, before heading to preschool now. We are so sad to be leaving Emma. She’s also been super helpful when we’ve had to change our hours/add days which has been really great, as sometimes childcare can be really tough sorting, but not with Emma.

Emma looked after my little boy from the age of 15 months until he started preschool at 3.5.
When I say, I could not fault Emma, I mean that. My little boy wasn't just happy at Emma's, he was thriving and looked forward to going everyday. He was a lockdown baby and spent longer at home than expected so his speech was a little bit delayed, Emma helped him everyday and I could see a difference in him week by week in his time there.
Of course, Emma meets all of the requirements of being a childminder (the bare minimum to be expected) but Emma had a huge contribution to my little boy becoming the most polite, considerate and fulfilled child.
Now being in alternative childcare due to his age, I know how spoilt I was. You will get full updates about your day and know that Emma really cares and loves what she does. I also quickly learned that the emotional support and bond isn't a given in childcare, Emma provided that without a doubt and my son actively misses her and her family.
My husband often tells me that he won't consider anywhere else for when we have another in the future (I wouldn't consider anyone else anyway!).

I found Emma through Childcare.com, and she was the perfect person for my little boy. We had 2 great years with Emma, where she cared for him like he was one of her own. Emma was flexible with our needs and always reliable.
My boy really came out of his shell from being at Emma's.
She has a lovely setting as well as being close to Ferry Meadows for walks and adventures.
Emma always had plans of what to do with the children, and made sure it was inclusive so that everyone could enjoy and be involved.
Her family are lovely as well, kind and respectful to all the children.
I'm so thankful for Emma and we are grateful for her care and kindness over the years.

My daughter has loved every second of being with Emma. Her speech has improved incredibly and she has generally learnt so much whilst still having fun. The cabin is an excellent playroom and fully equipped for all kinds of fun and education. I would highly recommend Emma if you want a fun, extremely clean, supportive and caring, learning environment for your child. Me and my daughter will both miss Emma taking care of her daily.

My daughter has been with Emma since just under the age of 1 , she’s now nearly 4. I’m so gutted to be leaving Emma this is because my little girl is soon to be starting primary school. I trust Emma so much and feel so at ease whenever she’s looked after my daughter. She’s so professional and always goes above and beyond. I’ve never had to raise any issues with Emma , and my daughter always leaves happy which feel me with confidence that I’ve been found the perfect childminder. I honestly can’t thank you Emma enough and can strongly recommend her ! Her home and play area is very clean my daughter is always so well looked and after and it’s a rarity she’s ever come home with any dirt on her which is amazing in its self as we all know how it’s hard to keep children of such young age so clean all the time. Her communication is always on top form I’m always kept in the loop and always reassured if I’ve ever had any questions ect. Thank you so much Emma we will truly miss you
