About Me

I have been in the childcare sector for over 20 years, first as a nanny then a pre school leader and now as an Ofsted registered childminder in Gt Whelnetham.
My Ofsted report graded me Good.
I have up todate certificates for First Aid, Food & Hygiene and Safeguarding Children.
I have attended many courses including Makaton.

As a childminder, we regularly go out & about. This is usually with other childminders. We like to go to local parks and occasionally soft play centres. I also like to do spur of the moment activities like puddle hunting after rain!
I have 2 small dogs that have grown up with children in the house. They are sometimes kept separated by a stairgate but also come on walks with us. The dogs are never left alone with the children.
I have 2 gardens that we use...a lawned area with a playhouse, slides, trikes, ride on cars, lawnmowers and seesaw etc. We also play on the patio area with the sand table, chalk board and patio painting
I send all parents daily photos so that you can see what activities your child has been doing throughout the day.
.

Fantastic childminder

5 stars

Lindsey has been a brilliant support for our family since our daughter started with her, and was very quick to get her settled. Since she began, my daughter has grown in confidence. It’s been wonderful to see all the play and outings they have!

Despite being nervous to leave my little one for the first time with a childminder, Lindsey has put me totally at ease and I feel really comfortable with Bea at the setting. A real home from home feel - Bea naps at Lindsey’s better than she does at home!!

Lindsey goes above and beyond to communicate with me, and keeps me updated throughout the day, with messages and photos of the things they get up to which is reassuring and lovely to see.

Lindsey is absolutely super - highly recommend!!

Thanks for such a beautiful and kind review x

Great childminder!

5 stars

I was shocked how quickly my daughter (11 months ) settled in with Lindsey.
Lindsey kept me up to date verbally and by sending photos so I could see what they have been busy doing whilst I was at work.
Lindsey was professional and I felt completely comfortable leaving my little girl with her.
My little girl has also found a love for Dogs since going to Lindseys :-)

Thank you Chris & Gemma for your kind words 🙂

Great Childminder!

5 stars

Lindsey has cared for our son for nearly a year and he has been settled and happy in her care from the very start!

She provides an active environment and it's lovely to receive pictures of the activities he is doing and places and people he is visiting most days - it's great to see him enjoying himself so much.

So pleased we found her as it made my return to work so much easier and knowing Killian is having a great time is so important!

Thanks Claire x

Excellent childminder highly recommended

5 stars

My daughter has been with lindsey now for 6 months since she was nearly 2 and she is thriving to say the least !!!she can't wait to wave me goodbye in the mornings which is really lovely as a parent. My daughter is part of lindseys family and that was a really important factor for me. Every day lindsey takes the time to write a diary for all the little ones she looks after so we can see at a glance what's happened. My daughter has so much interaction with other children and they are always off out to different places and doing different things.lindsey is also very flexible if I need extra hours it is never too much trouble. I would highly recommend lindsey to anyone and so would my daughter come to that !!!!

Excellent!

5 stars

My son started with Lindsey when he was 18 months. She is an excellent professional, very caring, always on top of the children's development, very organised and flexible.
We chose Lindsey because we believed she would be the best carer for our son and never looked back. Alex has thrived with Lindsey and absolutely adores her, because she gives him attention, structure and the direction that he needs to be a happy child.
She also provides the children the day to day routine and some extra activities, such as play centres, mother and toddler sessions and even trips to the seaside, etc! She takes the time to write on a notebook every day to tell the parents how their day went and keeps a detailed log of the child's development.
I would certainly recommend Lindsey's services to anyone.

Excellent childminder

5 stars

Lindsey is a great childminder. My daughter started with her at the age of 6 months and has always been happy and smiling from day one. She happily goes to her in the mornings and enjoys her daily activities. She is well socialised going to many baby and toddler groups and to other childminders.
Lindsey has always followed my instructions carefully but can also take initiative if the routine changes for some reason, taking steps to make sure my daughter is happy and content.
I highly recommend Lindsey as a childminder, she provides my daughter with great experiences in a nurturing environment.

Excellent childminder

5 stars

Although my son has only been with Lindsey for a month he has settled in really well, so much so he asks to go on the weekends!
I feel my son has already learnt so much in the time that he has been in childcare, he is taken out to lots of fun places, takes part in art and craft activities, mother and toddler groups, walks and lots of things that helps with learning whilst having fun. He has gained so much experience and met some new friends and I feel that Lindsey was a perfect choice for me.
Lindsey has a lovely home setting, which is great for a child as they have more interaction from the childminder, she will take the time to plan each day and give my son the care he needs whilst I am at work, I would definitely recommend as a childminder.
