Lisa has been childminding my son C (15 months) since January 2018. She looks after him for 2 days each week.

I have been extremely happy with the care C has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Lisa’s care. Lisa’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and C has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Lisa’s warm, fun and friendly but no-nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced.

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outings & meeting up with other childminders at play groups. C has recently enjoyed reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park and trips to the zoo.

Lisa is a great communicator and has no trouble encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are very important to us at home. When C is hurt or feeling under the weather I know that he feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.

Lisa completes an online diary detailing what C has done each day accompanied by pictures and the occasional video. From this I have a complete picture of his whole day including what he has eaten, how long he has slept and all his activities. This helps me to feel involved with his care and that I can talk to him about his day.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care C receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self-assured little boy.

I would absolutely recommend Lisa as a great and reliable childminder.
