My child Sean has been coming to Lisa’s since February 2017 and since the very first visit, he has always felt really happy and comfortable. My child is on the ASD spectrum and so new people and places can be difficult for him. He has settled in so well at Lisa’s, even though he only goes once a week, that I have requested more after school child minding as soon as it is available. Sean is already picked up from school by different relatives and also had another child minder for the first 6 years of his life, so to be so accustomed to a new child minder after only one visit has put both my and my wife’s minds at ease. He says he enjoys the after school snacks and also the different colouring and drawing activities Lisa does with him. Even with other children in the house at the same time, Lisa always manages to make some time for Sean and joins in with the activities that he is interested in. It was a real blessing to find Lisa just at the time we needed her most. Thank you

Thank you for such lovely kind words. Sean is such a warm and friendly boy it woud be impossible not to have welcomed him as one of our family :) He is the happiest child and always willing to join in with any activity that we may do. All of the children love and accept him for who he is. He brings real joy to our home, so thank YOU for choosing us x x x
The greatest complement we can give Lisa is that both of our boys (now 5 & 2) love every day with her. They both started with Lisa from 9 months old when my wife returned to work. The eldest son is now at school and Lisa does some of the drop offs and pick ups and our youngest is at Lisa's 3 days a week. Lisa has been and will remain a big part of their lives. The family environment that's provided instantly struck a chord with us. As soon as we walked in and started chatting it felt right for us. Lisa, Rich and their family make all of the children feel right at home. The kids have benefited from plenty of outdoor learning and play making use of the wooded area and local walks. Attending play groups means the children get to interact in larger groups regularly and even get treated to numerous days out (including Longleat). The journals and photos we get daily are real treasures for us and it's great to re-live the day with the boys. My eldest had various dietary intolerances which Lisa fully understood and supported us with. Following the EYFS curriculum meant his transition to school was seamless and his base in phonics and maths has proved invaluable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anybody.

Thank you so much, it means more than you can ever know to hear such high praise x x x I love your boys like my own, as you know. They are bundles of fun and mischief which i adore. They have never been a moments trouble and have such a jest for life it is infectious :) I cant imagine them not being here, and nor would i want to! Love them with all my heart x x x
Our son has been in Lisa’s care for the last year and has loved every minute! Lisa is warm and welcoming and provides the perfect home from home environment.
Our son does a variety of activities with Lisa and goes for lovely days out with his friends ! Lisa updates us everyday with photos of what they have been up to and suggestions for things to practice at home in terms of learning. It always feels like Lisa understands our sons needs really well and is always looking to help
him in his learning.
It’s not hard to see why Lisa has an outstanding ofsted - we really can not recommend her more highly!

I started using Lisa when my son was 8 months old ... he is now 10. When my daughter was born there was no question about where she was going to go. Needless to say I value Lisa (and her family) immensely. Her care goes way beyond a job title. She provides a home from home for each of the children that she minding. My children are happy and confident in her company, in fact, they feel like it is their second home. I can not write enough words to recommend Lisa enough ... If I could give her 10 stars I would.

WOW thank you xxx I was so worried when the time was coming for your children to move on to primary school thinking i wouldnt be seeing them anymore, how wonderful it was to hear that you wanted me for all the school holidays :) They have been a part of our family for so long we cant imagine them not being here! We all love them so much, they are bright beautiful children that are a credit to you both. Even though thry arent here every day they come in during the holidays as if they have never been away. They mix in with everyone and are so kind, caring and sociable it makes my job a real pleasure. Dont ever take them away! :) xxx
My son has been going to Lisa’s before and after school 3 days a week for the last 18 months. He loves being with her and has made some excellent friends in the other children. Knowing children in other years has been great for his confidence in school. Lisa is an excellent child minder and provides lots of fun activities for the children. Her outside space is wonderful and great for the children to play in during good weather.

My daughter has been going to Lisa's for over a year now. Lisa is extremely helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. She does a variety of activities with the children; a mixture of fun and educational both inside and outside the home and my daughter cannot wait to see her each morning and after school. The atmosphere at Lisa's house is always happy, relaxed and under control. Lisa has strong family values and I feel that her own children, who are polite and well behaved are a testament to the effectiveness of these values. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough - as soon as you meet her you will instantly know she is the one to look after your child/children.

Thank you for your lovely review x From the moment i met your daughter i felt an instant connection. She is funny, confident and outgoing with a cheeky sense of humour. She makes me laugh out loud every day :) I love her smile and the twinkle in her eye, she is a credit to you both and we all love her to bits x x x
As soon as I visited Lisa I knew this is where I wanted our girl to be. Lisa is warm and welcoming and really takes pride in what she does. Her home is very child friendly and the garden is the kind of garden you wanted as a child. My daughter settled in really well; actually from the first few hours settling in session she told me she wanted to go back. Lisa does amazing activities with the children. I am so pleased we found Lisa if you have to have childcare then you should not look any further every family should have a Lisa in their lives. ?

My son started primary school in September and we were looking for a childminder to take and collect him from school three days a week. He settled really quickly with Lisa and has made good friends with the other children in her care. Lisa offers a lovely setting for children, plenty of toys to play with, a fantastic garden and engages the children in craft and fun educational activities. We are incredibly grateful to have found Lisa and would highly recommend her as a childminder.

I was looking for someone to look after my son Archie for a few weeks,he was 11/2 at the time.a friend gave me Lisa's number and told me to ring her,even if it was for some advice...that day was the best day of my life and I have never looked back.my son is very full on and demanding,I have to admit I was struggling to keep up with him and his demands.i rang Lisa to explain everything and also how I was feeling.i went to meet her with Archie at her home which was lovely as we met the other children to.lisa reassured me that I just needed a little help to take the weight off me as I felt awful for leaving him..he's never been happier and loves going there.he has a best friend there now who he talks about all the time.his talking,counting,colours and number are coming on leaps and bounds.lisa also sends me pictures of Archie through out the day just so I can keep up to date with what he's doing.they do so much that when he come home he's shattered,Lisa has also helped me and Archie with his potty training which was a struggle to start with but we both kepted going with it and he's been nappy free now for 2 months,he had his 2 year view not so long ago and he came up over average for his age,so I do owe a lot to Lisa for all her help,she's not just a good childminder,she became a very good friend and I couldn't thank her more..

Being a childminder for a full time shift worker is no easy job !!!! Lisa however has been my childminder for my two boys now for over 10 years and I can not recommend her highly enough. My boys have always been well cared for and love going to Lisa's where they enjoy the fun, activities and especially the outdoor space but are also supported with their studies and homework. My boys are treated like one of the family and it means that I can concentrate at work knowing that I don't have to worry about the boys. I also consider Lisa as a friend and someone I can discuss any concerns I have regarding my children. I know that my boys are reaching that age (and have probably past that age!!) when they can look after themselves but they still love going to Lisa's and I will be delaying the inevitable for as long as possible. Definatley not just a childminder but a second Mum and a home from home.
