As a first time mum, naturally I was a little nervous about leaving my son with a childminder. However, many months later I couldn’t feel more content and secure knowing Emma is taking the very best of care of him!
As soon as my husband and I met Emma we immediately knew she was the one for us.
She is incredibly warm and kind, patient and caring and my son adores her! We’re very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She’s the best! The location is beautiful and very child friendly, a great environment for your little one!
