My Summary
About Me
My name is Lisa and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I live in Edenbridge with my Fiance and 2 children, we are walking distance to both train stations which is great for commuting.
I used to juggle 3 jobs as well as being a parent, my children went to an excellent childminder, she made me realise how important a good minder's role is in a child's life. I understand how hard it is juggling work with children and I want to offer a child a warm and welcoming place they will be cherished whilst they are not with their parents. The children who I look after are welcomed as members of my family who are cherished, respected, protected and supported in all areas.
I am lucky to live within seconds of the local recreation ground which I utilise to it's full potential. I also do regular visits to local parks, Limpsfield common, Staffhurst woods, Toys Hill as well as many more. I enjoy taking the children to the library and they love being a Librarian whilst they are there! I have a very child orientated home with lot's of toys and resources. I enjoy doing lots of arts and crafts with the children.
I am a registered member of The Forest Childcare Association. We spend lot's of time in the woods looking at wildlife, making dens and having lots of woodland fun.
I became a childminder because I am passionate about children's care, learning and development and also because I love being part of their world.
I accept tax free childcare and offer funded childcare.
My Experience
I have had various jobs which have all been very people orientated, my last job before becoming a childminder was a librarian for KCC. Before moving to Kent I was head receptionist of an animal rescue centre. I have been a Childminder since 2013.

My kids immediately took to Lisa as did I, choosing her to care for my children was easy because she was so welcoming, friendly and caring. My children were with her just over a year and they instantly settled. She provided a daily diary so I knew what they had been up to and often sent photos during the day so I always felt involved. Lisa uses an online system so seeing the kids progress was simple and reading their reports was lovely, finding out how they were growing academically.The kids adored her and still do and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to others!
