About Me
I am an Ofsted approved childminder with a 'Good' rating (inspected March 2022), CRB checked, fully vaccinated and I love my job!
I have just moved to Rushden and am available for new children.
I have been a registered childminder for over 10 years and have worked with some lovely families over the years. Most families have been with me for several years and have used me for all their children.
I have two children myself, my son who is 19 and studying at Brighton University and my daughter who is 16. I live with my husband and my two Labradors who have always known me to have children around and are brilliant with small children.
I am very much looking forward to exploring a new place.

Emma is an amazing childminder. We sent our son to her at 7 months old till he joined Nursery school at two and half. As a Head Teacher and a new mum I was very nervous to hand my baby over to someone and Emma was calm and patient with me. My son loved going to Emma’s house and would cheer as we pulled into the driveway. She took them out to playgroups, farms, soft plays and his personal development and social skills are excellent due to her fantastic childminding skills. My son also adores her two children who are fantastic with the children. I can’t not recommend Emma enough. She was so supportive and I am not sure what we would have done without her in those early days of learning how to balance going back to work and being a mum.

Emma looked after my daughter from 10 months old until the age of 8 years old. Emma become part of the family, the bond she built with my daughter was unbelievable. She is so flexible and was so happy to meet our needs. Nothing is ever to much for Emma. Emma provided a safe, clean and happy home, her children are amazing with all the children and my daughter had a very special bond with Evie Emma's daughter. My job meant that I had to call upon Emma at the drop of a hat and she was always happy to accommodated with out question. I really don't know what I would have done with out Emma. Any child that is lucky enough to have Emma in their lives will be a happy child.

My son went to Emma from 6 months until he was around 3 years old. He only left because he was going to nursery. Em built a great relationship with my son and was like another mum to him. He adored her and she adored him. She sent updates about the day and pictures too. Em took the children to either a group or soft play at least 3 times a week. Em was always very understanding and flexible around drop off and pick up times if we had an issue too. The whole family was lovely and my son adored all of them. She was also very reliable and only had one day off in the time we were with her (I think).
I would have loved to send my daughter to her too but unfortunately she has moved out of my area 😢

If I could give Emma more stars then I would ⭐️
Emma was amazing with my son, he was only with her for a few months but the bond they had was so lovely. He would always be very excited to go and see Emma and her family, and just loved being there. He would always come home so happy and be able to tell me what he did in the day. Emma planned days out, mornings to soft play and to the farm and she always sent me updates and photos of how he was getting on during the day and was very accommodating with hours, days, times. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone, such a lovely lady 🙂 thank you xxx

Emma is quite literally amazing! If you manage to get a spot here grab it!!
My son went to her full time from 12 weeks and my daughter (3) 3 days a week until she started school. In all 14 months. We only had to (regrettably) stop as my work situation and location changed. Otherwise we’d still be there, 100%!
I am confident in saying they had the creme de la creme of childcare!
Emma’s home is a safe, clean, warm, comfortable and fun environment. Her children Ryan and Evie are mad about kids and give that little ‘wow’ factor we all want and hope for. Her husband Simon is equally as good with the children when he is there. A very loving and generous family.
My kids loved going to Aunty Em’s for her and her wonderful, gorgeous family. Arms open for her every time I dropped them off. They couldn’t wait to get in and never wanted to come home!
Emma will take them out to Softplay and parks and other fun places with other children and childminders. I got sent photos almost every day of my kids having a ball!
Never once did I have an issue. Emma was always accommodating with little changes or emergencies! I was kept up to speed on what they ate, drank and even when they poohed!
Little developments were always fed back to me and I know that Emma has taught my kids so so much of what they know now. Far more than I managed!
I wish I could keep Auntie Em’s for my son till he went to school. They were like a family to both of my children. I’ll never find another Aunty Em’s!
