My son is with Lisa since February since he was 10 months old - as a first time mum with not having her family around it was hard for me to find someone I can trust . Lisa been giving me from day one a very good feeling and very welcomed . The communication is also awesome - there was never a issue . She send pictures during the day or after the day - which I absolutely love . She also is very patient and a very caring person . My son is very clingy and sensitive but Lisa been always very patient with him . I love that Lisa is very flexible - if there is a short notice from my side regarding times Lisa made sure that it works out. She’s really looking after the needs of the children. Also my son is a very picky eater and she’s always making sure he gets what he eats. I really feel lucky that I have found Lisa I could not of asked for a better childminder for my son . The house has a real family atmosphere in a very positive way . I can highly recommended Lisa !

Lisa has looked after my son to an excellent standard. I would highly recomend her. He had seperation anxiety and she helped him settle, feel safe and enjoy the playing at her home. He really likes the variety of activities Lisa offers and trips to the park and library.

Thank you for a lovely feedback x
Loving, dedicated, understanding, flexible and a cheerful person, Lisa has helped our family in so many ways. I couldn't be more grateful for all the job she's done with our LG.
After visiting 5 nurseries and trying 1, we decided to try taking our girl to a childminder. We don't have any family to help us and our girl was used only with her mum and dad. She didn't have many experiences of being without us. We started at age 2, with 3h/day and in less than 2 weeks, she stoped crying when leaving her at Lisa's. And during this 2 weeks she would only cry for a little and settle. I know because Lisa kept me updated with photos and messages.
Also, we speak another language at home, and Lisa did offer to buy books in our language.
Our LG is not friend with food, and Lisa had to put an effort in there too, so she tried many types of food and we talked everyday about the menu, what was she eating.
Lisa has 3 wonderful children and because of the pandemic, our LG had the chance to meet them and become friends with them, they love each other.
When I go to pick up my LG, Lisa takes the time to tell me about their day. She's getting to discover our LG personality and she advised about what our LG could like to do as a sport.
They have many activities - painting, making cards, but also time spent outside - in the back garden or in the park.
For a first time mother, with no close family, having someone with experience in rising children to talk to about your baby's development is essential. And I think that in nursery is more difficult, where staff is changing often.
For all those reasons and others, I warmly recommend Lisa.
