Emma has been a lifesaver and had our little 2 year old boy for the last 3 months, 1 day a week while I’ve been working full time leading up to my maternity leave with my second baby. We instantly liked Emma when we met her, not only was she very professional, organised and has a lovely house and garden on the side of a park, but most importantly she instantly showed particular interest in our little boy asking lots of questions and showing him round the toys in her house and this was very important to us.

It was amazing to see how quickly he settled in, day one he ate and slept well and was very happy when we picked him up. He came out the second week saying ‘Emma like’ and how he ‘liked the park’ which is the first time we’d heard him say he likes things. He’s always been very happy to be dropped off and I’ve noticed his verbal communication improving whilst he’s been with her as has his physical development with all the trips to the park.

She cooks a wonderful variety of food and I’m pleased Laurie’s been exposed to a more varied diet than usual, eating more exotic meals than I would make at home ( or that he would eat for me anyway).

We are sad to be leaving Emma, but will certainly look / hope to return to her when I go to back to work after maternity. We would absolutely recommend 💯.
