Lucie is a wonderful childminder. During his time with her, my son has flourished - many people have made comments about his increased confidence since he began his sessions with her. She is great at encouraging his independence with things like dressing and using the toilet. He loves playing with Lucie’s toys and looks forward to their trips to playgroup every week. Lucie sends updates about his day, including photos of the activities they have been doing and details of his meals (which are always healthy and homemade). Lucie makes sure that each day is varied, with activities like trips to the park, exploring the woods and picnics as well as time in her home and garden. I would not hesitate to recommend Lucie!

We feel very lucky to have Lucie as our son’s childminder. She looks after him with so much love and care we instantly felt completely at ease leaving our little one with her, it really is a home from home environment for him. Lucie provides delicious homemade and healthy meals and keeps us well informed through the day as to how he’s getting on. He’s often coming home with arts and crafts they’ve created during the day and absolutely loves the playgroup Lucie has set up with other childminders, which is such a wonderful idea. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

We are so lucky to have Lucie looking after our daughter and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent. It was so important for us that our daughter felt safe and cared for when not in our care and Lucie has given that. Truly a home from home, our daughter has made wonderful friendships with the other children and absolutely adores Lucie’s dogs who are so gentil and well behaved. Every day we are given updates including sleep, meals and activities along with pictures. Lucie provides activities and outings for the children and takes care of them as if her own. Thank you so much Lucie

Lucie has been our daughters childminder for 6 months now and it made the transition of going back to work so much easier. I knew that she was in excellent hands and with regular updates and pictures of how her day was going, my mind was at ease. Lucie cooks delicious homemade hot lunches for the children and ensures they have a balanced meal and snacks throughout the day. Her home and outdoor space is lovely and my daughter enjoys all the toys and experiences Lucie has to offer. They are regularly at toddler groups or on days out which is lovely for their development!
Our daughter absolutely adores Lucie and waltzes in to her home each morning with no problems. Nothing is too much for Lucie and I know that my child is receiving amazing care during the day! We would highly recommend her, thankyou, Lucie!

Lucie is an amazing childminder. Taking my little girl to Lucie has been amazing and it's truly like a home from home environment. Lucie treats the children like her own and my little girl absolutely adores her.
Lucie is super flexible and does so much with the children taking them out and about whenever she can.
Lucie's dogs are amazing with the children. They are the best behaved dogs I've ever met and are very chilled around the children. My little girl adores them and is excited to see them (and Lucie) everyday she goes.
I couldn't recommend Lucie enough and we will miss her when my little girl leave to start school.

Well, where do I start? Lucie cares for your children like they are her own. She goes above and beyond every single day; cooking the children amazing, nutritious yet delicious food - even managing to take beef bourginon and homemade stews on woodland picnics - she is a woman of many talents! She was brilliant with my little boy, who couldn't have dairy - nothing is ever too much trouble for her.
The children are provided with a safe, engaging and educational environment (not that they are aware that they are learning because it is presented in such fun ways!) She is always on the look out for new toys or ways of making things (well, for her supportive husband to make anyway!)
She will allow your children to flourish and embraces their individuality. She keeps you up to date throughout the day, sending lovely pictures and fun and/or useful comments about their day. Both of my children adore her - I really can't recommend her enough.
Thank you Lucie!

We have been using Lucie for after school care for our eldest for 2 years. She is so lovely, flexible and will go above and beyond to help extra in anyway she can. Her house is truly a home from home and our little boy loves going to her - he's always disappointed when he's not going!
Lucie treats all the children as if they were her own and you can truly see that she adores them - and they adore her in return!
We will be starting to use Lucie for care for our baby this month when I return to work - we are completely comfortable with using Lucie and can already see that our baby has a lovely bond with her! She is like an extension of our family. We are so happy we found her!

Lucie is amazing! She has been child minding my daughter from the age of 6 months old. Being a first time mum and leaving my daughter with lucie at such a young age was nerve racking but lucie made us feel welcome and at ease and nearly a year on when mia hears Lucie name she cant wait to get out the house...and the car lol. Mia is incredibly independent and out going and I feel lucie deserves majority of the credit for mia being an outgoing little lady. Being first time parents lucie is very knowledgeable and answered many questions that me and my partner had and is so happy to help when she can. I would recommend lucie to anyone who is looking for a kind, caring, loving and trust worthy childminder . Lucie is definitely a huge part of Mia's life she is always so happy when having been at Lucies and loves being around lucies partner ,children and the dog.
