I really struggled to find a childminder that I was comfortable leaving my daughter with until I met Lola. She is warm, kind, and absolutely gentle with the children. My daughter looks forward to seeing her and is amazingly considerate. I love the activities and outdoor adventures that she takes them to.

My twin boys have loved their time with Lola and her family. They go out and do lots of activities and have learned so much spending time singing and rhyming each day.
They are going to miss spending so much time with you all. Thank you so much.

My son loved going to Lola.
She was very accommodating to our very sporadic time schedule and always had my son’s best interest at heart.
Although my son is now in nursery, he still speaks very fondly of Lola

I was glad to have found Lola, when I was in a need for someone to help with childcare during the lockdown with work becoming very sporadic. She was very helpful and flexible to accommodate our needs. She is great with my daughter. She takes her to the local play area when the weather is good, my daughter loves going there. Overall very pleased with childcare service and Lola is an friendly.

I am so happy we found Excelpat, my little lady (2.5 year old) is always happy there and is always smiling when I pick her up. The setting is very calm, they do some lovely things during the day and she eats very well. Lola has been instrumental with potty training too!

My boys age 4 and 7 attending setting for about 8 months now and I couldn't be happier. Lola was able to accomodate my working hours and help with school runs . My boys settled in very quick in nice warm homely atmosphere and it's been a pleasent experiance for all of us.
Would fully recommend to anyone .

I have a son aged 3+ with Excelpat. We have been with her for some months now. The experience has been fantastic! My son loves it there. He always looks forward to going to the setting. There's very educative activities and also informative play in this setting . I also love the fact that there's proper report and feedback in place and I am daily communicated on my son's progress and activities . I go to work and am confident that my son is in very good hands.

We have been with excelpat for quite a few months now I have a boy and a girl of 6 and 8 years of age!
My children absolutely love going there after school, she provides a fun and safe environment while providing additional learning throughout there time with her.
Communication is also a major point for me we can discuss the children's progress and there day to day activities as well as keeping in check with days and hours etc!
I have used a few nursery a in my time but my children have settled well d enjoy this setting.
I have no hesitations on recommending this childminder
