What Parents Want's Reviews

The best childminder

Emma and her team are fantastic. My daughter absolutley loves going, and although she is a very spirited little 3 year old (was 2 when she started going) I do not fear she is given enough stimulation and structure to keep her happy and occupied, with the same boundaries and rules she would find in a nursery/school. Emma is extremely proactive and the children are always busy. She is very flexible and frequently meets my needs being a single mum juggling 2 children. She also occasionally has my son who is 6 in the holidays, who also loves visiting as she always takes them out and keeps them busy. I cannot rate enough. The house is big with a play room and plenty of garden and surrounding countryside. Just brilliant.

Fantastic childminder

I have been with Emma for 4 years now and she is fantastic. The standard of childcare is excellent and with learning journals and activities to put even the best nurseries to shame! The first time I met Emma I knew she was 'the one' for my children, her own children are such a credit to her that I knew she would do a great job with mine! I will mirror a previous review that states 'if you get a slot here, jump at it', you will not regret it!

Excellent childcare

Emma looks after our two school age children after school, plus for periods during school holidays. Our children have a great fondness and respect for Emma. Emma is always keen to provide activities that she thinks the children will like and cater to their individual likes / dislikes. The environment is great, with activities at the setting for all ages, and a broad range of off-site activities organised as well.
As a parent, Emma always treats us with respect. If there are any issues with the children, these are dealt with appropriately and promptly. I have total confidence in the care the children receive.
We are so lucky to have found Emma - an outstanding childminder.

Excellent care

Finding suitable childcare for my daughter was made all the more difficult as she struggles with food allergies and severe eczema and needed someone who really understands her needs. From the first time we met Emma she has been extremely warm and welcoming and it became clear very quickly that she had lots of knowledge in caring for a child like mine. She has been extremely accommodating to my needs as a parent also (I even got cake on occasion)! Her home is perfectly set up and she providing lots of fun and educational activities for the children in her care everyday. Emma is the type of childminder that you can only wish for, we are lucky to have her.

What a warm welcome!

When I was first greeted by Emma, I felt reassured that this lady was an experienced mum (the best qualification!), and had very happy children surrounding her.

She seemed to be extremely efficient, leaving no questions of mine unanswered.

I feel confident and comfortable leaving my child (for the first time with anyone) in her capable hands.

Best childminder we met!

We meet several childminders whilst looking & Emma in our opinion was the best! Very professional, put us at ease straight away! Facilities were amazing & the paperwork to back up the care provided was excellent! I would happily leave my son in her care & couldnt recommend her any more! If your able to secure a place here jump at it!

Met Emma today and first impression were brilliant immediately made me feel very welcome and my daughter enjoyed her time sitting and muttering away. Emma is everything i have read about lovely and bubbly and really friendly. Really hoping we manage to secure a place as i am sure my daughter will love it and Emma will look after her just as well as me. Her house is amazing and there is so much for the children to do.

Highly Recommended

Emma is very friendly and immediately made us feel at ease in her home, which is perfectly set out for childminding. We didn't even look at anyone else because we felt that she is the ideal person to look after our daughter. (And she can bake!)

Highly recommended

Looking for childcare for our first child was extremely daunting with lots of choices to make. We instantly felt Emma was the kind of person we want to look after our child. Her house is well set out for childminding and she has lots of toys for the children.
