I found Popperellas on here in October and always thought word of mouth recomendations were best...but i can honestly say this search find restored my faith in what a childminder should be.

Going back to work full time with an 11mth and 2yo i was struggling to fine my idea of what a perfect childminder would be. Having left a childminder that let standards slip the month before, I was quite nervous and searching for perfection. What you read in Lisa's profile is delivered to the highest of standards with added cherries on top!

Id considered Popperellas not quite a childminder and not quite a nursery it's definatly split 50/50...Lisa and her team provide one-on-one care, supporting your childs needs with individual activities, and follows your rouitine like a childminder should with added cuddles. On the other hand they keep me upto date on progress and targets achived in line with the early years development, as well as sticking to set routines with group activities which aids their self growth and confidence, is more like a nursery setting.

You really do get the best of both worlds. If you like daily reports, a clean and safe environment, and structured days with help/assistance if needed, honest arty paintings, singing happy children that run in in the mornings but dont want to run out in the afternoon...then Popperellas is for you.
