For anyone who has come through the Kids First doors or just called us, you will have had the absolute pleasure and privilege of meeting Emma.

Lucky you!

She is one of the most wonderful, caring and kind people you will ever meet. And... she's also a whole lot of fun!

Today Emma handed over the reigns to Hannah Heerey, our new Practice Administrator. We can't wait to introduce Hannah but for now, we wanted to focus on Emma and thank her for her 4 years of service to families at Kids First Centre UK.

From the moment you set foot in Kids First Centre UK, you felt a warmth, a safety net and a blanket wrapped around you by Emma. THere are no words to say how much we have appreciated you... thank you seems insufficient but on behalf of all the children and families you have supported, THANK YOU!

We wish you well in your new role in Public Relations and we're so grateful we will still get to see you!

Love from all of us at Kids First Centre UK
