I was very apprehensive about going back to work after having my little girl and looking for a childminder was a dread to me. I came across Emma and we arranged a viewing, After seeing Emmas house and learning a little more about her and the way she worked i didnt have to look any further. My daughter started at Emmas and for only a week cried when i left her, now she even calls for Emma when we are at home (this is must be a good sign). Leyla is always happy and cheerful when leaving Emmas and i have not had any problems since Emma started looking after her. I feel Leyla has settled in brilliantly with Emma and is as comfortable there as she would be at home, i Also think they have both formed a bond that you would with a relative which is lovely to see. Emma takes the children to the farm and toddler group once a week which i was impressed with as i wasnt expecting this. She has a very good connection with the children and they know what is and is not allowed resulting in a well behaved and calm environment for the children.There has been many times that i have needed Emma to have Leyla a little later than usual which wasnt a problem, so flexibility is another of Emmas positives. Overall i am very very pleased that i chose Emma to take care of my daughter and would highly recommend her to any other parent/guardian looking for a childminder.
