Lynsey was looking after our son Gustav (2 years old at that time) twice a week for 5 and a half months. We feel really lucky and grateful that we found Lynsey to look after Gustav. She is a really wonderful person, genuine, trustworthy, honest, patient and very friendly. She was always very caring and loving towards our son. Gustav felt at home when he stayed with Lynsey and did build trust and special relationship with her and her lovely family. We were so delighted to experience that as Gustav had a difficulty to stay with anyone else apart from close family. It was amazing to see how Gustav’s social skills and confidence grew during his time with Lynsey.
Lynsey has her house fully set up for children with large playrooms, sleeping areas and nice outside space for outdoor activities including water play. Environment is always welcoming, clean and safe. She has lots of wide range toys for children to play with. Lynsey also engaged Gustav in various games and plays that are educational and heled him to develop his imagination, language and other skills aiding his developmental needs. Besides the activities at home, every week Lynsey also took Gustav and other children to walks, various play groups, cafes and play parks. She was also taking children to picture house, aquarium, and other interesting places. Lynsey is also very thoughtful, and she made festive days such as Halloween, birthdays, and Christmas very special for children, organising group celebrations with themed activities, costumes, food, plays and walks. Gustav always had a great fun and amazing playtime when he was staying with Lynsey. Even tough Gustav had his lunch with him, Lynsey always provided children with nice food and snacks.
Lynsey is very attentive to details and communicated with us to keep us updated about Gustav’s development. She always sent lovely photos and told us how his day has been. Lynsey also was very much involved in helping us with understanding Gustav’s needs and she always gave her professional advice on how to deal with some aspects of Gustav’s behaviour, development and his needs. She is also flexible and has accommodated us with childcare hours outside our arranged days and times.
Considering everything, we are truly happy with the loving care Gustav received from Lynsey and we are absolutely delighted to see the growth in his development in which Lynsey has been instrumental really. We would absolutely recommend her as a wonderful, caring, loving, and engaging childminder. We were and still are very sad that we needed to leave Brighton and thus lose our wonderful childminder!
