Emma is certainly an Outstanding Childminder in every way. My son has been going to Emma's since he was 9 months old (now 2yrs 5months) and it is most definitely a home from home for him. He always has an excited smile on his face when we arrive and constantly talks about Emma and her family. He has named his toy dog 'My Charlie' after Emma's dog. I love the fact that she takes the children out every day, whether it's to the park, the woods, the beach, a play centre, the library or another childminders to play with other children. She's even taken them on the Swanage train, to little farms and monkey world. He has had so many great experiences and is learning and developing wonderfully. Where I've been concerned about his development in the past, Emma has given me different games and fun techniques to help encourage those area's. Emma has a great relationship with my son and is very caring as well as making everyday fun. I don't know where she gets the energy. She's incredibly supportive and I'm truly grateful that I found her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
