Lisa is the first adult outside of direct family who has looked after our daughter and we are so grateful to have had such a brilliant experience. Our daughter loves her, she is warm, attentive and caring which was the by far most important thing for us. Lisa takes our daughter on days out and provides something as close to an attentive home environment as we could hope for. Our daughter is growing in to a confident chatty toddler and really relishes the engagement with Lisa and the other child she shares her days with. We couldn’t be happier with Lisa’s care.

Lisa is a fantastic childminder and I knew as soon as I met her that I was happy to leave my baby in her care as she has a warmth and kindness that you look for in a childminder. She truly loves and cares for my child and ensures she has fun and learns when she is with her. She provides healthy meals and ensures all her needs are met whilst providing regular updates about what they are doing throughout the day. I am truly happy that Lisa is my childminder and would wholeheartedly recommend her!

I was worried leaving my son in someone else’s care. However, he started with Lisa when he just turned one and he has become the most confident little boy. Lisa has taken her time to understand my sons needs and has been very caring and nurturing towards him. My son is always excited to go back and when I pick him up he’s always so happy. I feel confident leaving my son with Lisa and coming back knowing he’s had the best time.

Lisa is a wonderful childminder. My son started going to her when he turned 1, and has been with her for about a year now. He has developed a very close bond with Lisa.
Lisa is kind and caring and has a very gentle nature. She is knowledgeable about childcare & childhood development, and provides regular reports and updates on my son’s progress.
She is imaginative and creative, always providing stimulating activities for the children. She takes them out to playgroups and excursions whenever she can. This has been limited due to COVID, and Lisa has made an extra effort with home and park-based activities. Examples include picnics, playgrounds, animal farm trips, baking, messy play, art and much more.
Lisa is a really good cook and provides a healthy and delicious lunch and a variety of healthy snacks. She has been very accommodating about my son’s dietary requirements.
I feel lucky to have Lisa as my son’s childminder and highly recommend her.
