Lucy started childminding my son when I had to go back to work after maternity leave. She had a settling in period for him and was really communicative and reassuring throughout the day. My son settled really quickly. He’s been there now nearly a year and honestly I feel so lucky that we have her as a childminder. I can work knowing he’s getting the care he needs. She is so clearly invested in their development, education and health and has a really good understanding of their developmental needs. She does all sorts of age appropriate sensory activities, wee discos, has them outside at loads of different parks and gardens, the library, toddler groups and I could go on. So I know my son is outside getting fresh air and making lovely memories, and if he’s inside he’s busy doing something equally fun and good for his development. I look forward each day to the wee picture updates she sends. She gives them healthy food every day which she cooks herself. She updates me everyday about what my son did well that day or if she has any concerns. Taking everything into consideration, she gives an exceptional standard of childcare. My son adores her and you can tell she adores him too. I’d highly recommend Lucy!
