My daughter started going to Lisa when she was seven months old (now fifteen months) and she absolutely adores Lisa and her family. Lisa is always positive, smiling and enthusiastic no matter what the day throws at her and clearly puts the well-being of the children she has at the core of everything she does. My daughter has great fun going on outings but Lisa’s house and garden is also full of everything a child could need, and more, and they are always doing creative and educational activities. There’s plenty of stimulation for little people but it’s also a lovely calm, homely environment.

Lisa is warm and kind, a brilliant communicator and adapts to our ever-changing needs. She made my transition back to work much easier because I never had to worry about anything and always had a happy baby at the end of a long working day. (Although sometimes, my daughter wants to stay at Lisa’s rather than come home!) I also get lots of picture updates so I can see what she’s been up to and how she’s developing. I would absolutely recommend Lisa as a childminder and we hope this will be a long-term relationship. Every parent needs a Lisa in their life.
