My son started with Emma in March 2017. It was the first time I have left him with anyone after my maternity leave. Within a couple of meetings my son was holding his arms out for her which really made me feel at ease.

Emma has a lovely home with a nice spacious garden for the children to play in, perfect for the summer months. I have also met some of her children whom I noticed to be particularly well behaved and sweet.. always a good sign!

We are continuously updated throughout the day on an app called daily connect. Emma uploads pictures of my son throughout day, adds notes about what they have been up to, what he has had for lunch (A large variety of fresh lunches) and how much he has eaten, right down to how many times she changes his nappy. Almost as good as being there.

Emma is extremely flexible which is a god send for a shift worker such as myself. With a little bit of notice Emma always tries her best to accommodate my requests.

I felt very anxious about leaving my son but now I can relax in the knowledge that whilst I am at work my son is being taken care of and is having fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma for anyone looking for a friendly, flexible and reliable child minder.
