Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Lisa has been an integral part of our family's journey since our son was just a baby. From the very first day we entrusted our son into her care, Lisa has consistently proven herself to be not just a caregiver, but a cherished member of our extended family.
Her genuine love and affection for children radiates in everything she does. Whether it's crafting imaginative play experiences, nurturing their curiosity with engaging activities, or simply providing a comforting hug when needed, Lisa goes above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and valued.
Beyond her exceptional caregiving skills, Lisa is incredibly reliable, punctual, and flexible. She has always been accommodating of our ever-changing schedules and has never hesitated to step in when we needed her most. Her professionalism coupled with her warm and approachable demeanour make her a true gem in the world of childcare.
As a mother, it's comforting to know that my son is not just in capable hands, but in the loving embrace of someone who treats him as if he were her own. Lisa has played an instrumental role in our son's early development, fostering a sense of independence, curiosity, and kindness that we will forever be grateful for.
I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. She is not just a childminder, but a mentor, a friend, and a true blessing to any family lucky enough to have her in their lives.

Lisa has been amazing since our little girl started with her in April. We were really concerned to leave her in childcare as she did not like being separated from us, but Lisa was amazing at settling her in and making us feel reassured that she was ok. It has been fantastic to see how much our little girl has developed since starting at Lisa’s; we love the precious little things she comes home with that she has made. Every Wednesday they also go to a playgroup which our daughter loves, and she has had some special experiences there already! As soon as we arrive our daughter goes running in with a huge smile on her face. We really are grateful that we found Lisa and would highly recommend her.

Oh Wow, thank you so much for your lovely review! Your little lady is such a joy to look after and her cheeky ways have me laughing every day. You both make it easy by working with me and taking on board what we do here, extending the learning at home. Thank you both for your partnership and for allowing me the pleasure of her company!
Lisa was my childminder for three years before we moved out of the area. In that time my daughters thrived, my youngest went from shy and barely speaking to a complete chatterbox and my eldest developed a love of crafts and books thanks to all the activities provided. Lisa helped support my family through deployments of my husband (he would go away for months at a time), through potty training and transitions to school. Nothing was too much effort for her and she would always go out of her way to accommodate extra hours, overnight care and last minute early drop-offs or late collections when needed. Our children felt like part of Lisa’s family, welcomed not only by her, but also by her children, who formed a great bond with my own, and by her husband. The family dog, Bailey, was much loved by my children and will be missed almost as much as Lisa and her family.
