My Summary
About Me
******SOME PLACES NOW AVAILABLE!!!!!!****NOW OFFERING FREE CHILDCARE PLACES FOR ELIGABLE 2 YEAR OLDS AND ALL 3-4 YEAR OLDS!!!!!I am Luci and I live with my partner. I am fully Ofsted registered. I live in a rural setting in Accrington with close links to Oswaldtwistle, Haslingden and Blackburn. I have worked with children for 13 years now. This includes working on the Holiday club as shift leader at the local sports centre, working as a lifegaurd, leading childrens birthday parties and also teaching swimming lessons to children from the age of 3 to 19, some of which had disabilities. I love working with children as i find it very rewarding. Looking after children is not just a job to me but somthing that i enjoy thoroughly. During the childrens time in my care the can look forward to our large garden and field with lots of play equipment and direct access to footpaths with lots of room to adventure. We also have ponies, chickens, ducks, dogs and pygmy goats at our setting with lots of other animals such a sheep and pigs in neighbouring land. We also enjoy going to the park, play centres, nature adventures, building dens, playing outdoors and farm visits. The children will be involved in all kinds of activities including painting, colouring, playing, messy play, sticking, playing on the nintendo Wii and Playstation 2, watching videos, dressing up, story time, free play and many more. I believe that children should be encouraged to learn through play.

My daughter has been at Luci's for a few months and absolutely loves her- she always comes home excited about all the things she's been doing and places they've been. She's been very flexible with times and our daughter's learning and development is very well supported while she is at Luci's. I would highly recommend her :)

When I went back to work full time my son went through some really bad experiences at a nursery he was attending. Luci came highly recommended by a few people I knew and when contacting her she was very efficient, she got back to me straight away answered the 1 million and 1 questions I had and it was clear that she was the right person to look after my son. From the moment they met he absolutely loved being with her, soon after that she took on my daughter for the school hols and although they are a handful when they're together she was superb with them. Now she has my children at holiday times but she is so much more than a childminder, she's more like family. My children absolutely adore her she's kind, caring and she's helped me through some really hard times, after the experience I had with the nursery It wasn't easy for me to leave my children with somebody elso but Luci was brill!!

Luci took care of our grandson at very short notice during some very difficult family circumstances. Luci's love and compassion towards our grandson and our family was something we didn't expect to receive from our grandson's childminder. Luci quickly developed at bond with our 6mth old grandson which was evidently reciprocated by the huge smile on his face when he saw her every morning. Due to our difficult family circumstances we needed a childminder who could be flexible and nothing was a problem for Luci. She would go out of her way to be as flexible as possible for us. I'm pleased to say that our grandson is developing into a happy, confident and cheeky boy and much of that is thanks to Luci. She really does 'care' for the children she looks after - it's not just a job to her! I would "highly" recommend Luci to look after any child at whatever age.

Luci has looked after my daughter daily for 2 years, during this time I can relax at work knowing she is in a safe environment. My daughter enjoys her time at Luci's and is progressing extremely well with her speech, numbers and colours. The children spend a lot of time out and about, visiting parks, farm, zoo and the beach. Indoor activities include baking, dressing up, painting and educational activities. Luci has supported my daughter through her early milestones such as learning to walk, talk and toilet training; she has played a big part in my daughters learning and development from young baby to a happy little girl. An added bonus with Luci is her flexibility she always accommodates my working needs which can vary due to the nature of my job. A huge help each day is collection/ dropping off of children at childs home, this gives me extra time in the mornings to get my eldest 3 to school, and is a huge help when my daughter spends the night with family in a different town. I recommend Luci 100%.

Luci looks after my son each day. She has never let me down, always on time in the mornings when picking him up and dropping him off at night. My son has come on leaps and bounds with his speech since he has been with Luci and has also come on with toileting a lot! He is always eager for Luci to pick him up in the mornings, watching out the window till she turns up which just shows hes always excited to be with Luci. Always doing activities and going upto the farm with the animals. would 100% recommend Luci to my friends and family for childcare. 10 out of 10.. couldnt find anyone better!!!

My boys spent half term with Luci and I have to say she is fantastic! The boys week was filled with fabulous indoor and outdoor activities, and were exhausted when they got home - which is always a good sign! I could go to work with peace of mind, knowing my boys were in safe,caring hands. I would recommend Luci to everybody. The boys cannot wait for the next school holiday!

luci looks after my daughter in the school holidays and she is fantastic. she picks up and drops off and works round my needs which is a great help. my daughter goes out with luci and the rest of the children every day and always has lots to tell me when she gets home. they eat healthy foods and she often comes home with something they have made or with pictures that have been taken on one of there many trips. the play centre is praticly next door to luci's and they go there almost daily and my daughter loves it. i have recomended luci to anyone who asks about my daughters childcare.
