Emma Thompson
Childminder
I live in Kirkley with my husband and small dog. I am a mother of 3 children( all boys!!) , and I have 2 grandaughters.I work with my mum (Christine) as my assistant. I work from a beautiful purpose built cabin in my garden. I have a well equipped cabin which is suitable for all ages.
I would like to offer families an opportunity for their children to enjoy a home from home environment while their parents are working.
I am a hyyge in the early years accredited setting and have recently completed my Level 3 wild beach leader training.
We enjoy being outdoors everyday and are lucky to live a short walk from the woods, beach and a park. We also spend lots of time having fun in our garden. Our garden has balance bikes, a mud kitchen, swings, a den and space for climbing and building with lose parts.
As a setting we provide routines, activities and experiences in a play based curriculum that focus on living in the moment and feeling the joy there is in everyday. Giving children the opportunity to reflect on their experiences through play, allowing rich opportunities for learning, building and extending on learning based on children's interests while supporting children to be independent and confident learners.

The best Childminder you can have Rated 5 out of 5
Emma has been like family to my children. She is an expert childminder, inspires creativity and exploration in children under her care. She is so much more than a normal childminder and goes the extra mile to give children lots of variety, learning and caring guidance. My son has always been so excited to be going to her - What more could a parent want than a child that is so comfortable with their carer. Leaving me happy to go to work knowing my child is enjoying their time away from me. She has a very outdoor focus allowing children to explore the environment and get out in the fresh air. I cannot rate her more highly. Both of my children have been under Emma's care since 8 mths and she is part of our family now. I could not have worked without her. Thank-you Emma for being in my childrens lives.
