I wouldn’t consider ever choosing anyone else in the local area to look after my son. Lucy is full of energy and warmth but also gives your child the most amazing experience. Our son was looked after by Lucy from 1-2yrs old 5days a week 7.30-6pm and he was always so happy with her. His development was brilliant and the tracker and diary she keeps is informative and follows the EYFS. Her Facebook page (for parents only) is also a lovely diary of pictures and videos of the week. Lots of outdoor activities, curious learning, cookie decorating, painting, dancing, numbers, songs, toys, garden games - you name it, Lucy does it. She also takes them out on brilliant trips to the zoo, the park, soft play and other local places. We had a poor experience with another childminder in the local area and I am SO glad we moved to Lucy’s - she only takes 4 children at a time as opposed to others who take 8+. This means Lucy can take everyone in her car and in her big pram! We will miss Lucy so much when our son starts at Gresham’s nursery soon - he absolutely loves Lucy (and her cat, Oreo!) and I know he will miss her a lot.
