I cannot recommend Lisa and her team at Mitchell’s Munchkins enough. My little boy has been with Lisa since the beginning and if he could stay for any longer, trust me I’d keep him there. It isn’t just a childminders, it’s like home from home. The way they care for your little one is amazing and the bond they form with them also. My little boy has reached so many milestones whilst here and has learnt so much. The communication they have is fantastic, you are always getting updates throughout the day and at swap over time at home time you’ll get a run down of how their day has been. They do many activities the kids whether that be fun, learning activities inside or trips to the park and other outdoor activities. Also, due to the set up they have here you never need to worry about your Childminder being off sick or going away as Lisa’s assistant will take lead and run the childminders which works wonderfully as you never have to use extra holiday days at work or worry about urgent childcare. I highly recommend Mitchell’s Munchkins and thank you so much for everything once again!! X

Lisa and her team and absolutely amazing, if you’re looking for a childcare provider, you won’t find any better! We were apprehensive about using a childminder because we were worried about sickness and holiday but because of the unique set up here we never had to worry about that. My son much preferred being in a home based setting than the nursery setting he had tried previously. The facilities are great and the communication between the team and parents also felt really helpful for us to know what he was up to. The team were so great with my son, he can be a sensitive little soul and their care, compassion and patience were unwavering. His sleep has always been awful and they were so accommodating and accepting of his needs around this. He was also diagnosed with allergies while under their care and they did not ever have a problem with meeting his needs! I can genuinely say I have never worried about him for one second while under the care of everyone at Mitchell’s munching, they were a second family to my son.

Lisa is a nice friendly babysitter who is very reliable and we have had no worries about leaving our young son (under 6 months old) with her while we go out. We would highly recommend her to other people
