Our daughter started her journey with Jennifer and Maria at Lullaby Lane Childcare when she was just 10 months old. As a first-time mom, I worried about everything and visited over 10 nurseries and childminders around the Crystal Palace and Forest Hill area. Lullaby Lane stood out by far, and choosing them helped ease my worries, knowing my daughter would be in the best hands.

Jennifer is an energetic, loving, and incredibly caring childminder who truly understands each child as an individual, tailoring her care to their unique needs. The setting itself is warm, homely, and always clean, with plenty of toys and books to keep the little ones engaged. Meals are freshly cooked with a variety of vegetables and fruits—something I really appreciate. My daughter is quite picky at home, but at Lullaby Lane, she eats so well!

One of the things I love most is how Jennifer takes the kids on different outings—to the park, museums, soft play, and the library—always introducing them to new experiences. The communication is also fantastic. We receive updates throughout the day, along with photos, which always brighten my day and give me peace of mind.

Most importantly, the biggest reassurance for me is seeing my daughter’s reaction at drop-off. Every morning, I worry she might cry, but as soon as she sees Jennifer or Maria, she stretches out her arms for a cuddle—no hesitation. That says it all. Kids don’t lie—she feels safe, loved, and truly happy there.

I’m so grateful for the amazing care and love Jennifer and Maria have given my daughter. Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but I know we made the best choice, and I can’t recommend Lullaby Lane Childcare enough!
