As soon as we met Lisa we felt very at easy and loved her home setting, to the point that I didn't bother going to see anyone else. My youngest has been with lisa for a while now and he adores her. The activities that he does and places he goes always look fantastic and we get lots of phot updates, which I love to see. Lisa is very flexible and had always helped me out when I've needed an extra day at the last minute and my eldest son now also goes one day a week and fitted straight in. They don't usually want to leave when I pick them up!
I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone.

I was offered a new job and I needed to find childcare quickly. Luckily, we came across Lisa who lives round the corner from us and she could accommodate the days we needed. We knew instantly that we wanted Lisa to look after our daughter, our youngest and also our eldest. Lisa has been so flexible and accomodating, helping us with both girls in the holidays and more recently she has been able to help us with the school run too. Our girls love going to Lisa's. They always have so much, creating lots of fun things and getting to hang out with their favourite dog, Eric. Lisa takes them to loads of fun places in the holidays, they are always on the go and the girls have the time of their life.
Lisa always gives us updates on what the kids are upto and has responded to their needs, when the youngest had a temperature she was quick to give calpol and manage her needs. We receive regular photos which is so lovely to see when I'm stuck at work. Lisa has been great at accomodating our dietary needs, always providing the girls with a vegan dinner!
We are so grateful, thank you so much :-)

My daughter first started going to Lisa when she was 9 months and she is now about to turn 6. From the moment I met Lisa, she made me feel at ease, with her kind and caring personality. Both my children adore her.
Everyday spent at Lisa’s, she makes sure you get updates and photos of what the children have been up to.
There are always lots of adventures planned and creativity for a rainy day. My children have made new friends and memories that they will cherish forever.
I am so grateful that I found Lisa and would recommend her to anyone!

After a long list of childminders that I interviewed, I was ready to sign on the dotted line after 5 minutes of being with Lisa. Her kind nature, her lovely family, her beautiful home and the instant connection she had with my then 10 month old daughter, made the decision so easy for me. I wanted to give my daughter a home from home environment and that's exactly what I received with Lisa but also with the feeling of hanging with your cool aunty that took you to all the fun places like the zoo, splash-parks and soft play. My eldest had 2 happy years with Lisa and is lucky enough to still be looked after by her in the summer holidays and half terms.
When it came to seeking childcare for my next child, there was no one else other than Lisa we would think about. She has been a blessing to our family and has made what can be a stressful and emotional experience, seamless and easy. With daily updates on the fun activities that they're doing, the creative things they're making to the educational things they"re learning.
I couldn't recommend Lisa highly enough

Lisa cared for my son from a toddler until he started school. I spent a lot of time looking for childcare that provided the right setting for my son and Lisa ticked all the boxes! From the moment I met her, I knew she would provide a home from home and the environment I would be happy with.
My son was always on different adventures, Den Building, Nature Walks, Splash Parks (in the summer) Paradise Wildlife Park etc. His time with her was so varied and so much fun! I never once had a concern about what he was up to, I was only jealous I wasn't there too! Lisa is so friendly and so welcoming and does truly adore her mindees. We were so sad when it was time to move on and I still find myself looking for reasons when he can go back to her for Ad-Hoc care because I know he will love every second. Lisa helped with so many things, potty training, fussy eating to name a few, she stepped in if I had to work last minute and was incredibly reliable. For me, the transition back to work was so much easier knowing she was looking after my little boy.
