My Summary
Ofsted Childminder Buckhurst Hill
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder in Buckhurst Hill, offering the Working Parents Funding along with Tax Free Childcare. I have been rated Good in all areas by Ofsted. I work with an assistant (my husband). We both have a level 3 award in Paediatric First Aid. I am a responsible, professional, and well organised person with a calm nature. Having worked as a Director in the City for many years prior to becoming a childminder, As a parent myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust completely looking after your child/children. Our house is both pet free and smoke-free with a dedicated play and learning space and child friendly garden and is only a 5-minute walk to Buckhurst Hill tube station.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and provide opportunities for learning and development for young children with both child led and adult led activities. I continue to keep my training up to date and stay on top of any changes. I provide a home from home setting where children can play and have fun while they are supported through each stage of learning & development. Our setting caters for babies starting on their childcare experience up to school age. Please see my website to learn more.
My Experience
Although I have cared for children of all ages, I have been solely focused on the Early Years (baby up to school age) for the last 5 years. With twins experience.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Lisa Kellett. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our daughter started with Lisa at around 14 months old. During that time, she has grown into a confident, articulate, well-mannered, happy and knowledgeable 3 year old who is in touch with and understands her emotions and who interacts with other children and adults really well - it is not lost on us as parents how much credit goes to Lisa for this.
The setting is very spacious, including an outdoor garden and playhouse. Each day, the children have lots of fun but also get a great education, with a well-structured and well-thought-out plan of what activities and play will take place.
The food that is offered for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks is of high quality, varied and nutritious with our daughter looking forward to the food each day.
Lisa is kind, intelligent, caring, loving, perceptive and fun and has always been a pleasure to deal with.
Our daughter also loves Paul who is also kind, caring, friendly and highly involved in many of the fun activities - a positive male role model who we trust to take care of our daughter when we are not there.
We could not recommend the childminding care highly enough and could not be more grateful to Lisa and Paul!

Our son started with Lisa and Paul the day after his first birthday, and he’s now 2. We interviewed two other Childminders but were looking for someone who had a bit of a Montessori ethos -Lisa and Paul have a dedicated space in the garden for growing fruit and veg, and have kept caterpillars to turn into butterflies - and a gentle parenting style - seeing past the behaviour to the underlying emotion, being responsive and talking the emotion through. They’re both kind, patient, and empathetic. My husband and I love our joint WhatsApp group with Lisa who writes a report each day (food, sleep, activities) accompanied by multiple photos. Our son is thriving, and we’re delighted to have found them.

My daughter initially started at nursery but would not settle. We then found Lisa, she is patient, kind and sincere and my daughter settled instantly with her which was a huge relief. She really benefited from the smaller more homely setting where she could have more 1 to 1. She really loved her time with Lisa and Paul, she relaxed and grew in confidence. She also formed some great first friendships. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa & Paul. You can feel confident that when you go to work your child will be safe, happy and having the best time.

My son has been with Lisa since 2020 and he absolutely loves it with her. He really adores Lisa and Paul they provide a loving, caring, safe and educational environment for the children. I feel really assured going to work leaving him with them as I know he will be really well looked after. I enjoy getting the updates at the end of the day which include photos, seeing what he has been up to. My son has made great progress since being with Lisa and Paul I couldn’t be happier. I would not hesitate recommending Lisa to anyone looking for a childminder.

Our little boy has been with Lisa since January 2021. All I can say is that I cannot imagine better place for him. He truly enjoys going to Lisa and Paul every morning. They go for walks, read books, sing and play. Lisa and Paul have an immaculate garden and perfect cabin where children can safely play. Lisa provides healthy meals and Erik is actually eating much better at Lisa's than at home. When we needed an extra day for Erik, Lisa and Paul did everything to help us. Every day I receive a report summarizing how he was and pictures. Erik has a perfect routine thanks to Lisa and Paul and mentions them even during the weekends. I cannot recommend Lisa and Paul enough.
