From the moment that I met Liz and her family I knew that she was the childminder I wanted for my son. She is calming, nurturing and has a love for outdoors. My son attended from 11months and is now 5 and only attends for the odd school holiday. My daughter started at 11 months too and is currently still there, she is 3. Lizzie's approach to Childminding is wonderful and she really is part of our extended family. Her learning activities are engaging and well thought out. She plans from the children's interests and nurtures the children like they are her own. They go on the most wonderful adventures in the local areas and my children are always full of memorable stories. For record keeping and observations are professional and informative. She is great at involving parents in their children's learning and encourages half termly reviews to identify next steps in learning as well as collecting key information that could impact upon your child for the half term ahead. Lizzie has a stunning setting, both indoors and outdoors. Her meals are fabulous and home cooked- often with fruit and veg from her own garden which all the children help to harvest.
Both of my children adore Lizzie, her children and their friends that they have met through attending busy Lizzie's. We are so pleased that we managed to secure a place over four years ago. When families discover busy Lizzie's they don't leave as they know that Liz is an absolute gem who goes out of her way to accommodate and help families. I will be terribly sad when the day comes to leave when both children are at school, until then we will continue to cherish the joy our children have in attending Busy Lizzie's.
