Lucie is a wonderful childminder. During his time with her, my son has flourished - many people have made comments about his increased confidence since he began his sessions with her. She is great at encouraging his independence with things like dressing and using the toilet. He loves playing with Lucie’s toys and looks forward to their trips to playgroup every week. Lucie sends updates about his day, including photos of the activities they have been doing and details of his meals (which are always healthy and homemade). Lucie makes sure that each day is varied, with activities like trips to the park, exploring the woods and picnics as well as time in her home and garden. I would not hesitate to recommend Lucie!

We feel very lucky to have Lucie as our son’s childminder. She looks after him with so much love and care we instantly felt completely at ease leaving our little one with her, it really is a home from home environment for him. Lucie provides delicious homemade and healthy meals and keeps us well informed through the day as to how he’s getting on. He’s often coming home with arts and crafts they’ve created during the day and absolutely loves the playgroup Lucie has set up with other childminders, which is such a wonderful idea. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

We are so lucky to have Lucie looking after our daughter and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent. It was so important for us that our daughter felt safe and cared for when not in our care and Lucie has given that. Truly a home from home, our daughter has made wonderful friendships with the other children and absolutely adores Lucie’s dogs who are so gentil and well behaved. Every day we are given updates including sleep, meals and activities along with pictures. Lucie provides activities and outings for the children and takes care of them as if her own. Thank you so much Lucie

Lucie has been our daughters childminder for 6 months now and it made the transition of going back to work so much easier. I knew that she was in excellent hands and with regular updates and pictures of how her day was going, my mind was at ease. Lucie cooks delicious homemade hot lunches for the children and ensures they have a balanced meal and snacks throughout the day. Her home and outdoor space is lovely and my daughter enjoys all the toys and experiences Lucie has to offer. They are regularly at toddler groups or on days out which is lovely for their development!
Our daughter absolutely adores Lucie and waltzes in to her home each morning with no problems. Nothing is too much for Lucie and I know that my child is receiving amazing care during the day! We would highly recommend her, thankyou, Lucie!

Lucie is an amazing childminder. Taking my little girl to Lucie has been amazing and it's truly like a home from home environment. Lucie treats the children like her own and my little girl absolutely adores her.
Lucie is super flexible and does so much with the children taking them out and about whenever she can.
Lucie's dogs are amazing with the children. They are the best behaved dogs I've ever met and are very chilled around the children. My little girl adores them and is excited to see them (and Lucie) everyday she goes.
I couldn't recommend Lucie enough and we will miss her when my little girl leave to start school.

Well, where do I start? Lucie cares for your children like they are her own. She goes above and beyond every single day; cooking the children amazing, nutritious yet delicious food - even managing to take beef bourginon and homemade stews on woodland picnics - she is a woman of many talents! She was brilliant with my little boy, who couldn't have dairy - nothing is ever too much trouble for her.
The children are provided with a safe, engaging and educational environment (not that they are aware that they are learning because it is presented in such fun ways!) She is always on the look out for new toys or ways of making things (well, for her supportive husband to make anyway!)
She will allow your children to flourish and embraces their individuality. She keeps you up to date throughout the day, sending lovely pictures and fun and/or useful comments about their day. Both of my children adore her - I really can't recommend her enough.
Thank you Lucie!

We have been using Lucie for after school care for our eldest for 2 years. She is so lovely, flexible and will go above and beyond to help extra in anyway she can. Her house is truly a home from home and our little boy loves going to her - he's always disappointed when he's not going!
Lucie treats all the children as if they were her own and you can truly see that she adores them - and they adore her in return!
We will be starting to use Lucie for care for our baby this month when I return to work - we are completely comfortable with using Lucie and can already see that our baby has a lovely bond with her! She is like an extension of our family. We are so happy we found her!

Lucie is amazing! She has been child minding my daughter from the age of 6 months old. Being a first time mum and leaving my daughter with lucie at such a young age was nerve racking but lucie made us feel welcome and at ease and nearly a year on when mia hears Lucie name she cant wait to get out the house...and the car lol. Mia is incredibly independent and out going and I feel lucie deserves majority of the credit for mia being an outgoing little lady. Being first time parents lucie is very knowledgeable and answered many questions that me and my partner had and is so happy to help when she can. I would recommend lucie to anyone who is looking for a kind, caring, loving and trust worthy childminder . Lucie is definitely a huge part of Mia's life she is always so happy when having been at Lucies and loves being around lucies partner ,children and the dog.

I am very lucky to presently have Lucie as my Childminder as she is amazing with my daughter. Emily has been with Lucie for four months now and i have really noticed the positive changes in her. Emily is an extremely shy child but Lucie has really spent the time to build a relationship with her and make her feel safe , confident and happy . Lucie does so much with the children on a daily basis including arts, regular walks, and visiting various groups mixing with other children. Lucie and her family are so warm and welcoming and i cant thank her enough for making going to work that much easier.

My son William has been with Lucie for some time now and he loves her to bits! Lucie is a friendly, energetic, warm and caring person who treats William as if he were one of her own children. They are always active whether it be going for walks, off to toddler group or playing in the garden.
What has impressed me hugely about Lucie is her knowledge and experience that she has passed down to William. She has been fundamental in encouraging him to try different healthy foods which he would not previously eat which is a massive milestone when William is at home. Chloe and Axel are fantastic company for William they too look after him as if he were one of the family.
Lucie is a truly wonderful child-minder and I would not think twice about recommending her to parents who are looking for that special person to look after their pride and joy! I cannot thank her enough for her dedication and hard work which we are truly grateful for - especially William!!

Hi I have had Lucie as my child minder for both of my children. They think the world of Lucie and were devastated when I had to stop them going there as my work hours changed. They are now both back with Lucie and I have never seen them happier.
Lucie and her family are so lovely and I would highly recommend her to anybody. She enjoys taking the children out for picnic or walks and often goes to childminding groups to meet up with other child minders. My youngest has truly shone and grown in confidence with the care and love that Lucie provides.
Keep up the lovely work Lucie and thank you
again.
Love Kayleigh Jamie Ellie and Maisie x x x

Lucie has been looking after my girls for 2 years. She is like a second mother. Ruby has come along so much in Lucies care. The service and care that Lucie provides is, in my opinion, OUTSTANDING!
My girls adore Lucie, her family and the dog. When Ruby started with Lucia, she was very nervous of any dogs. Now she loves Lola. Whenever we asked Ruby about her day, she would rave about Cici and woo woo.
Lucie provides a warm, safe and happy home. She provides FANTASTIC home cooked food daily and healthy snacks. Days out and daily activities.
I truly couldn't have ever asked for a better childminder. There is also the added benefit that my girls gave picked up the french language. Lucie has helped my children with their education and confidence.
*This woman is one in a million! Amazing care. Wonderful family.*

My daughter started with Lucie when she was about 20 months old after leaving a nursery setting when we moved. Having just moved into the area, I couldn't find a nursery that I felt comfortable with here. My daughter and I went to met Lucie and found her to be a very friendly and caring lady. My daughter has now been with Lucie for a year and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. Lucie also looks after my son in the school holidays on occasion and both of my children are always happy to go there. They go on fun trips to the common and discovery centre, and toddler groups and have a briliant meal each day. Lucies children, husband and dog are as nice as she is are very welcoming to the other children. We are so happy with the care that Lucie provides, we have already decided that we want her to care for our newest addition.

My Son started going to Lucie at the beginning of 2012 and this was one of the best decisions we ever made. My son was struggling within a nursery environment however as soon as he started at Lucie's we saw an immediate improvement in both his behaviour and happiness. He loved the loving family atmosphere and the variety of the day to day activites, I certainly started feeling jealous as he was eating much better than I was as Lucie's cooking is fantatsic.
My son has since moved on to school but still spends time during his holidays with Lucie as he enjoys it so much and has built up a great friendship with the whole family.
I would certainly recommend Lucie to any parents looking for a great childminding expereince for their children.
