A Wonderful Childminder

My little boy has been with Lisa since he was 9 months old. She has loved, cared and supported him through his first sit, crawl, stand, walk and now running with the same care and attention that I would myself. Harris treats it like a home from home - he runs straight in without a second thought. I have seen other minders and Lisa is really different. She provides a great safe, educational and stimulating environment, where everything is tailored to the needs of each individual child, nothing is too much trouble. Lisa supports and records every part of Harris's learning and understanding, and I feel a real involvement in his busy learning life! Harris has no special needs but benefits enormously from Lisa's experience with teaching, and is way ahead of his development goals. I put this down fully to the way Lisa cares for her children, and the real investment she places in time with me to make sure we have a consistent approach. From great home cooked meals to nature outings he has a wonderful time. Above all he has so much fun! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa, and Harris would be lost without her love and care.

Thank you both so much for choosing me to look after Harris. I absolutely love having him and we all have so much Fun. I am so pleased you feel he is ahead of his learning goals I feel that him and Benjamin are best buddies and help each other achieve their goals and are both coming on in leaps and bounds.

Excellent

Lisa has provided respite care for my 6 year old special needs little boy since February of this year she is amazing I cannot praise her enough and would highly reccomend her to any parent looking for a childminder, Olle enjoys very much going to Lisa's house and happily toddles off into the playroom without a second glance at me!! I know he will be well cared for whilst in her care and have absoultely no worries with her at all,

Lisa is very flexible and always does her best to meet my hours etc.

She is brillant all childminders should be like her, I have had a previous bad experience with one so know they are not all the same.

Thank you so much for putting your trust in me . I absolutely love looking after him we have so much fun with all the activities we do and I find it very rewarding to see him achieve little goals and to know I might have helped him in the process makes me extremely proud to be his childminder.
