About Me
Welcome to Whitstable Childcare & Babysitting Service!
My name is Lisa, and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder with an Outstanding rating. Alongside my partner, Duncan, who is also a registered childminder, we provide a nurturing and supportive environment for your children in Tankerton, Whitstable. We share our home with two friendly dogs, who have their own separate pen.
I have been childminding since 2004, and I am proud to have received Outstanding grades in my last three Ofsted inspections. We offer funded places for children aged 9 months and up, including 2, 3, and 4-year-olds.
Our operating hours are Monday to Wednesday, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, with additional hours and weekends available by arrangement. We are also registered to provide overnight care for two children and offer both full-time and part-time places year-round.
We have a registered assistant who work on an ad-hoc basis and is available for babysitting. Our priority is to provide the best possible care for your child in a welcoming, home-based setting. We are an equal opportunities household, treating every child as an individual with unique needs, irrespective of race, age, gender, ability, family structure, language, or social, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
Our property is a bungalow, and the entire downstairs area, including a fabulous conservatory playroom, is used for childminding. Our fully enclosed garden is well-equipped, and children have daily access to outdoor play. We provide sun hats, waterproof all-in-ones, wellington boots, and other gear to ensure comfort in all types of weather.
If you are looking for a childminder, ad-hoc cover, or weekend care, please do not hesitate to contact me via the "Contact Me" page on my website. We would love to welcome your child to our caring and engaging environment.
DBS and Registration Certificates are available for viewing during your visit. Feel free to look around our website and contact us to book in a visit.

My daughter has been really happy with Lisa. Lisa is very warm, caring but also Lisa is very professional and I trust my daughter in her care completely.
My daughter always has a fantastic time when she is with Lisa, they are always out and about and when I drop her off she runs in without a look back or a goodbye!
