As the kids grow up and move on to to school, I wanted to say goodbye in my own special way. So they were greeted with bunting, a banner and a 100 balloon arch. Goodbye and good luck to you all as you embark on your next step.

We do like to go all in and have the children join in the excitement of doing up the house.
I make a day of it with them and they love to go home with a couple of treats at the end of the day.

Technology is all around us, so I embrace what it has to offer. Greeting the children to ask for the lights to change colour allows them to see the colour as they say it. This also allows them to interact with technology early.

A trip out enjoying the summer sun and some fruit picking. Lots of healthy fresh air and fruit for snack time.
Homemade meringues were also made to take home with their hoard of raspberries.

Well where do I start! It has been difficult times during COVID 19 with me being a key worker and my nursery being shut for a period of time. I needed someone who can care for my daughter during the difficult times and I thought to search for local childminders. I found Emm! And I will never go back! Eloise has absolutely loved her time there and she is always happy, clean, tired out and really enjoys it there! I was using Emm for 2 days a week but she has gone above and beyond to accommodate 4 days for my daughter! I love that she has built a caring relationship for my daughter and is able to offer Eloise a home to be cared for in. Emm is vrilliant. She reassured me when Eloise has been a bit unsettled and this has been amazing and reassuring for me too! Emm keeps in good contact and even sends photos every week which I love seeing. All of the above and more reassures me that I have made the right decision and that I am happy I came across her! Thanks Emm

Emm has been absolutely fantastic with both of my girls, they love her to bits. She puts so much effort into making them feel safe and loved, as well as planning lovely activity at home and out and about. Her communication is great and it's just a lovely environment. She is also very knowledgable

Emm looked after my girls for five years and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any parents. She has such a lovely manner and is so kind, caring, calm and patient. My girls were so happy in her childminding family. She provided a wide range of activities including plenty of outdoor exploring. Nancy loved all of her creative activities and always came home with bundles of wonderful art projects. Emm clearly adores looking after children and you will not find better!!! WE MISS YOU XXXXX

A little bit about what I do

Having 2 children of my own, I know how important it is for the children to feel safe and conformable in their environment. I want all the children to feel they can express themselves and feel at home. We do a range of activities, based around development and learning while having fun. These can be trips out to farm parks, soft play, cooking and craft. The children love to get stuck in and any excuse for a messy play is always welcomed.

I am fortunate that I have an all weather outdoor play area which means we can enjoy the outdoors even when the ground may be muddy elsewhere.

Outdoor play is something that we try to enjoy as often as possible. I have an outdoor plat cafe which then children love to enjoy playing at cooking with pots and pans and serving up play food. The is also toys such as diggers and jack hammers, scooters, scuttle bugs and other ride on toys.

In the warmer weather we have fun with the water tables and sand table, as well as the clay sand which they mode amazing structures and animals.

For children up to the age of five, I carry out their development easements and track their progress, which is shared with parents through a secure app on their phone. This means I can provide daily diaries so you can see what your child has done that day.

As I am registered with the local authority, I am also able to offer the free childcare offer of up to 20 hours.
