We’ve been so lucky to have Emma as our childminder! She always keeps us in the loop about Khalani’s day—what activities she’s doing, how many nappy changes she has, what she eats, and when she sleeps. It’s so reassuring to know what’s going on.
Khalani has loved going to Emma’s and is always excited to be there. She’s made some great friends, and it’s clear how much fun she has! As she gets ready to move on to preschool and eventually big school, both of us will really miss Emma. We’re sad to say goodbye, but we’re so thankful for all the wonderful memories Khalani has made with her.
Thanks so much, Emma, for everything!

Emma only had my 2 yr old daughter for 9 months, but they had such a great bond. Harper loves Emma and you can see it's reciprocated! Our Harper is a very willful toddler, and Emma has taken it in her stride and shown so much positivity.
I have had a lot of change with my work schedule, and Emma has been so helpful and understanding all the way through.
I feel Emma makes so much effort to have a close bond with the parents, as well as the child in her setting, and it makes all the difference in the world with giving us parents that peace of mind!
Couldn't recommend Emma enough, thank you so much for being one in a million! You will be so missed.
Off to nursery for Harper's next chapter!! X

Emma took my two in an emergency and was amazing. My 3 year old had an amazing time with her and she was able to settle my 1 year old quickly. Both my children came away happy and content!
Thank you Emma ☺️

I think Emma would agree but my 9 month old was undoubtedly the most difficult little being. Crying non stop most days, for weeks. Emma kept her cool and showed my daughter that it was fun to leave mum for a while. I believe not many people would have faired so well. And that’s why we chose Emma. We knew her kind hearted soft approach would be what my daughter needed. And here we are a few months in and my daughter holds her arms out to go to Emma. She’s settled happy and enjoys her time.
We’re sad to be leaving, but whoever takes our space will be super lucky. ❤️

I am so grateful for Emma, and the outstanding care she has provided for my little one, from the tender age of 6 months-2 years+. My son warmed to Emma very well. She constantly made me feel reassured, and offered great advice for a first time mum like myself. A professional, extremely outgoing and most of all caring childminder. Thank you Emma!
