Making the most of childminder discount on a Thursday 😁 With Bulphan Childminding and Sarah’s Childminding Services

Another sad goodbye for now to a special little man, good luck to the two starting school tomorrow. It was so lovely so see the oldest on her way home from school yesterday, new chapters all round 👏🏻 And many thanks for my the lovely presents for Clara and I 😍

Such a shame but it’s true, the funding received from the government doesn’t match any childminder’s rates as far as I can see and I know a fair few who have moved to different jobs because of this 😟 Free childcare scheme 'closing' nurseries, education charity says http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-4539 7976

These three have had fun catching up over the summer holidays but today was their last day together for a while as they’ll all be at different schools soon- I love the friendships made in front of my eyes 😍

We’ve had a lovely morning at pets at home handling Simba the guinea pig, Millie the rabbit🐇 (named by one of us) touching the rat’s 🐁 soft tail and searching for Nemo 🐟

We’ve had a short week this week, it’s been fun welcoming two new children and starting to get to know them. We’ve been to Great Notley and Belhus woods as well as our local park and had lots of wet play in the garden.

I have to say I was incredibly impressed with the new play area at Belhus woods, the whole area is suitable for all ages (we saw many adult dog walkers come and play with the music) the picnic benches are a great size too. So pleased to have this so close to us 😁

Pupils unable to read is 'a scandal', says minister http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-45009 467

Great fun chasing the bubbles with Let's make some Bubbles at Thorndon this morning. Thanks for the recommendation Bulphan Childminding

Nice morning at Danson Park, empty when we arrived,packed when we left, despite the occasional drizzle and wind the children loved the splash park!

We went early for a cool walk under the trees at Belhus Woods Country Park then came back and used trial and error to make a house! We also made big pictures outside under the shade

It’s been all about the bugs 🐛 🐜 🐞 today at intu Lakeside

My daughter has been with Emmie since she was seven months old and she is nearly nine now. I love that she is in a home environment and my daughter loves it there, it's her second home. Emmie has helped her to become the lovely girl she is and I thank her very much for that.

I have had the privilege of Emmie bringing the children in her care along to my Musical Tots classes. She is a hands on, caring and considerate lady, with a lovely smile! The children she cares for seem incredibly content and safe with Emmie. I would certainly recommend her.

Even though my daughter is at school now we still come back to Emmie for the school holidays... Which says it all really! Thanks for being awesome and looking after the most important thing in my life.... x

Emmie provides an incredible experience to both our children. They are always telling us stories of their many adventures and it makes me wish we could tag along too.

Emmie looked after two of our children from 6 months old till they commenced primary school. They are now 6 and 10 years old but they both have very fond memories of the time spent with Emmie.

Emmie is an absolute treasure!. She cared for our children like they were her own and put our minds at rest whilst they were in her care. She is an absolute professional and an outstanding childminder! I highly recommend Emmie. Keep up the great work!

Emmie is the best childminder EVER! My son has been with her since he was 9 months old and has come on leaps and bounds and I have Emmie to thank for this, dont know what I would of done without you! Thanks Emmie

Emmie is everything you could wish for in a child minder. Her level of child care is excellent and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. My daughter positively thrived in her care.

Emmie is an outstanding childminder. My niece and nephew have been going to her since a young age and love every moment spent in her care. When they are with Emmie you know that they are doing different activities and always learning. She is truly professional and one of a kind.

Emmie is an amazing childminder! Both my children started with Emmie when they were 10 months old and have thrived in her care. I love the fact they have a home environment with plenty to play and do as well as the many trips out and about to local pre school groups, farms, soft plays and many, many more! I could not have managed without her, she is truly a superstar.

Emmie is an amazing Childminder. She is always doing activities with the children and taking them out to places. Providing the children she cares for with experiences they wouldn't get in a nursery. I would happily have her look after my children �

Emmie is a lovely person, n generally cares for children in her care, n would trust Emmie to care for my grandaughter anytime xxxx

Could not ask for a better childminder, our son enjoys going to her because she always have an activity planned for the kids each day. I highly recommend her to any parent(s) that want an outstanding childminder.

Well done for all your hard work Emmie and we are glad that you are back despite the difficult past few months.
