Our daughter has been with Eliza for over a year now and absolutely adores her. I was worried about going back to work but got such a good feeling when we visited Eliza and I honestly couldn't wish for a better childminder. She is very loving, reliable and tustworthy and puts so much thought and care into the spaces and activities she creates for the children.

My daughter does loads of creative arts and crafts activities with Eliza, often linked to a book or specific topic they are learning about that week. She plays guitar and sings with them, has made her home into a wonderful setting, with a reading area, space for sand and water play, a beautiful garden and other really thoughful spaces for play which she has built herself, like a little dinosaur world, and a wooden board of doors and locks and laces.

Every day when I drop my daughter off there is a carefully set up play space for the children, which is different every time. She also spends a lot of time outdoors, teaching them about nature and wildlife, and bringing natural materials back into the setting to use in creative activities. She cooks healthy fresh, homemade meals every day, lovely soups, polish dumplings, pasta, etc.

Eliza puts so much love and creativity into everything she does and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives.
