Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for buddies. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. 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.
My 3 girls have been going to Lisa’s for before and after school childcare for over 4 years now and they all say ‘she’s the best’. They love going to see the whole family and they love Lisa. Their house is like a second home to them and they feel safe and happy there.
They love the little parties Lisa throws for them e.g. Halloween, Christmas etc and have fun at Lisa’s playing with the other children. They are always kept busy with activities and often come home with crafts they have made.
I feel 100% happy and comfortable leaving my children in Lisa’s care and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a trustworthy and reliable childminder.

We really enjoy the girls coming we have lots of fun and the parties are great from all of the children planning games food etc The girls are a big part of my little buddies and my extended minding family and i look forward to lots more fun and laughter this year thanks x
Lisa has looked after my almost 8 year old since she was under 1 years old, and looked after my older child for 10 years until she no longer needed childminder services. She is very reliable and trustworthy and my daughter really enjoys going and looks forward to it every week. As did my older child when she was attending little buddies!
Lisa provides a safe, educational and fun setting for children and ensures that they all feel that they belong. We feel very lucky to have Lisa as our childminder and would highly recommend her to any parents seeking a reliable, trustworthy childminder that their children will love attending.

Ive thouroughly enjoyed been a part of your girls busy learning lives and being part of, and celebrating their achievements throughout I am proud to have been their childminder for the last 10 years and a big thankyou to u both for working together with me and for us sharing such a good relationship, it makes it much easier just to do what i love doing , looking after all my buddies x
Lisa has looked after our now 5 year old son for 4 years, from the age of 1, and our 2 1/2 year old daughter also from the age of 1. We couldn’t have asked for a more flexible, open and caring person to have been involved in their lives. Lisa goes the extra mile and treats the children like an extended part of her lovely family, the setting is warm and stimulating, she puts a lot of thought and creativity into the activities and our children were always very happy to be dropped off there. She also sends lovely photos updates and creates a file of their development which is a great keepsake!!
Despite not being our catchment school we even sent our eldest to Town Field school nursery just so that they could both spend an extra year with Lisa. We sadly had to stop using Lisa recently because our eldest has started school in a different catchment area. Would highly recommend Lisa as a very patient, caring and flexible childminder, we could not have asked for better.

I have thoroughly enjoyed been part of their busy learning lives and feel so lucky to have watched them grow and share their achievements and A great big thankyou to you both aswell for us working together to ensure the best care for your children x
Lisa has looked after both our children Annabelle and Wilf from the age of 6 months old on a full time basis. My children are now nearly 4 and 2 and we couldn't ask for someone better to take care of them. Lisa is a part of our family and has been a great support to us as we live far away from our own families. She goes that extra mile to ensure that our children feel safe and welcome into her home.
I would have no hesitation in highly recommend Lisa as a child-minder. She is warm, caring, friendly and reliable. She has enabled my husband and I to continue to work full time and feel at ease that our children are in safe and loving hands. Her home has also been impressively adapted to accommodate her child minding services. Lisa ensures that each day is planned with fun filled and educational activities that are tailored to meet each child individual needs.
I can honestly say that there has never been a day when we have dropped the children off where there has been tears and this is a credit to her.
Thank you for everything that you do for us as a family xx

Lisa has been childminding my oldest daughter, Lila, who is now 7 since she was 1 year old, and also now my youngest daughter Daisy, 2, since I went back to work when she was 7 months old.
They both absolutely love going and I feel confident leaving them in Lisa's capable hands whilst I am at work. Lisa always keeps them interested in the different 'themes' they learn about by engaging the children with activities which suit them individually. For example my 7 year old loves arts and crafts, so Lisa ensures that Lila remains engaged in the themes by incorporating arts and craft themed activities in the day.
I would highly recommend Lisa to anybody looking for a friendly, reliable and trustworthy childminder in the area. I honestly don't think that we could have found a better childminder to look after our girls!
Thankyou for all you do Lisa x
