As a mother myself, with a delightful one year old daughter, I understand the importance of creating an environment that feels like an extension of your own home along with my assistants.
To ensure peace of mind for parents, we provide free clean bedding, nappies, and not just one, but three delicious and healthy meals and snacks each day. Our little adventurers will embark on a journey of exploration, learning, and laughter, all while receiving the individualized attention and care they deserve. We attend local playgroups, Parks and museums which are all within a short walk away.
Communication is key, and I believe in keeping you, the parents, closely connected to your child's daily adventures. Expect daily updates that capture the smiles, discoveries, and achievements of your little one, creating a seamless bridge between home and our nurturing setting.
Come join our extended family, where love, laughter, and learning converge in a space designed for the happiness and well-being of your precious ones. I look forward to welcoming your child into our warm and inviting childminder setting, right here in the heart of Forest Hill.

Our daughter has been going to Jennifer and Maria's for 3 days a week for over four months now and we honestly could not be happier with the care she's had. The setting is absolutely lovely. Jennifer has created a little nursery-like setting in her home, with lots of lovely toys, books and activities. All meals are fresh, home cooked, full of fruits and veggies and super varied. They take the children out on activities on most days, including playgrounds, parks, soft play, the library and loads more. They also do lots of fun activities at home. We get sent lots of pictures which always brightens our day and Jennifer keeps us up to date on meals/naps etc every day through an app. Communication has been extremely clear, thorough and professional throughout. Jennifer is really knowledgeable and it's clear that she has put so much love, energy and thought into Lullaby Lane. Most importantly, both Jennifer and Maria are incredibly loving and caring and seem to be having so much fun with the kids. Our daughter absolutely loves them and has formed a real attachment to them both (and all her little new friends!). She is always so excited to be going to Jennifer and Maria's and knowing she's happy, safe and cared for makes our lives so much easier. We feel like we're getting the professionalism and expertise of a nursery with the love, care and consistency that come with leaving a child with family. We can (and do!!) recommend Lullaby Lane to anyone!

Jennifer and Maria provide such a warm, nurturing, fun environment for little ones to thrive!
At 14months, it was my son's first experience of childcare and I'm so happy we found Jennifer instead of a nursery, it was the best place for him.
I loved that they went out each day to different local parks, playgroups, museums and soft plays, which you can view pictures via an app that details sleep, food, activities, nappies so you're in the loop.
My son learnt so much whilst in Jennifer's care and his daytime naps improved massively with Maria's massages.
Jennifer also provides the most nutritious food, my son really expanded his taste buds and I would even look on the app at what she cooked for inspiration for weekend meals.
I honestly can't recommend Jennifer's setting enough for happy and thriving little ones, THANK YOU!!

Jennifer has been brilliant for us, I could not recommend her highly enough.
She was the first person to look after our son other than us (his parents!). She is kind, caring and completely put our minds at ease with the transition, giving the right amount of updates - we knew our son was in good hands.
Jennifer does little trips to the library, park, paddling pools (in the heatwave!) to name a few. We can tell our son loves his time there as he smiles and waves when he gets to the door and is always beaming to see her. It’s so lovely to see.

We are pleased with Jennifer. Our son started attending when he was 8 months. And as a new mum, I was so nervous my baby starting childcare and Jennifer helped us a lot. She is very nice person, flexible and we loved the way she looked after our son. She organise playdates with other childminder, she takes them to the playground, and to the Rhyme times sessions every Tuesdays..
Every day is different and we love the way she keeps them entertained, she is caring and good communicator as every time she informs us very well in detail all related to our baby: Jennifer sends regular photos so we can see how his day is going.
She is very organised and very good chef as she prepares really nice home made food. Mateo loves fruits and veggies. He tried almost everything with her: pineapples, blueberries, mango, watermelon, pear, apple, kiwi and some many different yummy dishes always with veggies.
She has individual high chairs , space to sleep, eat and play, outdoor space and good opening hours. We don't regret our choice to choose her and we really going to miss her a lot❤️
I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much for looking after Mateo !

Our daughter loved being cared for by Jennifer and her team. She's created a lovely, caring environment and offers delicious looking and nutritious meals. We received regular updates through the day and Jennifer's communication and organisation is amazing. We would highly recommend Jennifer and are sad that the time has come for our daughter to move to nursery!
