Luiyana looked after our daughter for a year, in which time she flourished, learning Spanish, new skills and making friends. Luiyana was always considerate, professional, flexible and an ideal childminder! Now that our daughter is at pre-school, she still often asks to go back to Luiyana's house. It's clear that she has lots of fond memories from her time there.

Luiyana is warm, friendly and professional and has a wonderful, nurturing manner with children. Our 1 year old daughter would happily march into Luiyana's house everyday and enjoyed Luiyana taking her to the local playgroup.
Luiyana would give feedback at pickup each day and tried her absolute best to accommodate any additional sessions. Luiyana's home is spotless and her food is fresh and nutritious. Her qualifications and paperwork are up to date, transparent and organised.
We were so grateful to find Luiyana and for all the care and attention she gave our daughter and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Luiyana has been brilliant with our daughter for the year that she attended the setting. Since she started with Luiyana at 2.5 years until she started preschool in September, she really loved going and was always excited, viewing it as a home from home environment. She loves playing with the other kids, and there were always lots of activities, playing outside in the garden and parks, going for walks, to playgroup, as well as lots of arts and crafts activities. Alyssa really flourished there, and developed some early literacy skills even though she was only 3. We were always happy and confident that the home-cooked meals and snacks that Luiyana provided were nutritiously balanced. Equally, the flexibility with drop off and pick up times that Luiyana afforded was greatly appreciated when our travel and work arrangements changed at the last minute. Overall, a great childminder that gives peace of mind, and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

I highly recommend Luiyana! My son absolutely loves to go to her house. She does her best to keep the kids busy and happy. She is always planing fun and educative activities for the kids. From a parent perspective she is as approachable, flexible and accommodating as you could hope for and always gives plenty of notice regarding her availability. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Thank you 😊
Luiyana is so lovely! She provided wraparound care for our 4-year-old son and looked after him so well. Luiyana is very creative and Freddie has come home with some very precious keepsakes that he has made during his time with Luiyana - often inspiring Freddie’s older sister to recreate her own versions. Luiyana is kind, gentle and patient. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder!
