My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Lisa. I am married to my husband David and we have two girls of our own aged 14 and 11. I am an Ofsted registered childminder. We live in Huthwaite, where I have a large extension which I use as the main area for the business. There is also a large enclosed private garden space, which is accessible to children. We also visit the wider community on a daily basis e.g. Playgroups, Libraries, Forest Schools, Parks and more.
My Experience
I have worked with children for over 20 years in various settings from running after school/ holiday clubs, private day nurseries, to then moving on to a Primary school, where I was there for 18 years as a Teaching Assistant and a Pastoral leader for the school before deciding to move on to becoming a childminder.
I absolutely adore working with babies and young children. I enjoy watching them learn and grow and I have their best interests at heart in everything I do .

Lisa has looked after both of our boys and has become part of the family. My first little boy was very shy and clingy when first starting with Lisa but settled with her straight away and has always loved his days with Lisa. Lisa is always very friendly and easy to talk to and has always accommodated for our families needs. Finding someone you trust to look after you little ones can be a hard decision and we will be forever grateful we found Lisa. Lisa has taught both our boys so much and has brought them on lead and bounds helping them become the confident little boys they are. Thank you for everything Lisa, Stevie still talks about his time with you and is excited for Elliott to share his journey with you. X

Lisa was recommended to me by a friend who had recently signed up for her to provide childcare. I was returning to university and needed childcare 5 days a week, I'm so glad we found Lisa. Our daughter loved her time at Lisa's, their entire family made her feel like she was a part of it. Lisa makes the effort to explore local playgroups, parks and forest schools which Maisie loved! There were always creative activities available whether that be play doh, painting, colouring, sticking or sand and water play. Maisie went to school already able to recognise numbers, write her name and get herself ready with her coat and shoes. Thank you Lisa, Maisie misses you all!

I can't recommend Lisa highly enough as a childminder! Returning to work was really tough for me, but from the moment I met Lisa, she put my mind at ease. She's been so supportive, and it's clear how much she cares about the children in her care. My child has developed such a close bond with her, and loves going to Lisa's house every day. It's such a relief knowing they're in such a safe, loving environment. Lisa always keeps me updated throughout the day, and I love how she tracks my child’s milestones and makes sure to let us know the next steps in their development. They have such a fun time with Lisa, going on regular outings to playgroups, the library, and the park. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder!

We have been fortunate to have Lisa care for our little one. From day one, it's been clear that she is more than just a childminder—she’s a true extension of our family. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment have made all the difference in our child’s development and happiness. Not only does Lisa offer exceptional care, but she also keeps us well-informed and involved in our child’s daily activities and milestones, making communication seamless and always transparent. Our daughter loves Lisa, which makes it a lot easier during morning drop offs and we would recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, loving, and professional childminder.

Lisa looked after my little boy since he was 9 months old, he had the absolute best time here. He was well cared for, well catered for and all around at his happiest. Even a year on he still talks about Lisa and how he would love to go back, and does visit time to time. Lisa is a wonderful person, she is kind caring and will go above and beyond for any child that attends her lovely family home. I could not recommend Lisa enough to look after your children.
