Meeting Lynn, we knew she was going to be an amazing childminder for our 1 year old little girl. Lynn is kind, experienced and nurturing and her house a home from home where our daughter was welcomed with open arms and was loved until it was her time to move on.
Lynn looked after our little girl from 2021 to 2024 and has played a big part in our daughter’s life. Lynn and her own family have been like a second family and without a doubt has helped to raise our daughter, having such a positive impact on her early years of life.
Our little girl flourished in her care and Lynn provides such a safe space for the children to develop, providing them with new experiences where they can learn and have fun.
Our daughter would always ask ‘is it Lynn day today?’ With a smile on her face and we know we made the right decision. I will be eternally grateful for Lynn and her family, for caring for our little chatterbox, being a shoulder to cry on when she didn’t have to and for being an important member of our extended family! Thank you Lynn!

We started using Lynn back in 2021 for my son who at the time was 9 months old. As soon as I met Lynn we clicked straight away and I knew he would be in the best hands. From the first day dropping him off and being nervous to leave him, Lynn made me feel reassured and provided an update throughout the day which me and my husband came to look forward to everyday!
Lynn always has the children doing something fun yet educational or relevant to the time of year etc. She takes the children out daily and to all different settings, allowing the children to meet different people, get them used to different surroundings and building their confidence up.
The one thing I loved about sending my son to Lynn was the fact it felt like I was sending him to a family member’s house. Lynn loved my son as if he were her own and I know my son loved her just as much back! The bond he built with all three of her children was just so lovely to see and it really felt like he had extra people to love him and care for him whilst he was there. I knew I could turn to Lynn for any advice and help and she would be there and for that I will be forever grateful.
The hardest thing was my sons last day, I wish I could have kept him there forever but he was ready for his next step into nursery but it was such a sad day. I can’t thank Lynn enough for the years she spent loving and nurturing my lb, and without her he wouldn’t have gained the confidence, skills, kindness that he did and for that I will be forever grateful.
If you get to choose Lynn to look after your little one it’ll be the best decision you make.

My son joined Lynn's setting in September 2022 after his first childminder retired. I was heartbroken at the thought of him having to settle in somewhere new at nearly 2 years of age, but after hearing my sister raving about Lynn (as my nephew of the same age already went there), I knew wholeheartedly that Charlie would be okay.
When Charlie first started at Lynn's, he was barely talking, saying only a few words & only playing with cars. In the early weeks, Lynn listened to my concerns about his speech delay & advised us on what we could do to have him assessed, which we followed. Thankfully, no intervention was needed as his speech came on in leaps & bounds after only a short while of being with her & her other minded children. She was also able to convince him to play with something other than cars! & to join in activities with other children.
Charlie also loved Lynn's own children & I loved receiving pictures of him snuggled up with them like he was part of the family ❤️
Charlie's eating flourished too while he was there. He used to be a picky eater but with Lynn's support & guidance, he started eating new things & I was able to provide a varied lunch for him instead of the same set items each week.
Charlie struggled with his emotions when there was any change of routine, but Lynn knew this & if he was having a bad day, she was able to calm him down but also let us know the reason of his upset. She was so in tune with him & his needs & I knew I'd made the right choice by sending him to her.
Though Charlie only spent less than 18 months with Lynn, I'm forever grateful for how she helped my boy to blossom into the happy, chatty, funny little boy he is today, so thank you!

Lynn has been our childminder, caring and supporting my daughters development since she was just 9 months old. I'd only returned to work when she was 8 months old but due to the different aged children at the first childminder she wasn't settling as quickly as they'd hoped. As soon as I met Lynn I felt at ease, finding a childminder was so hard and when the first setting didn't work out I was completely overwhelmed but Lynn just happened to have the availability coming up and I knew she would be perfect. Her home is lovely with lots of outside space as well as a dedicated area for the children to play and learn. Her smaller setting means she can give all the children 1-1 support and attention from a young age and I can honestly say she has been my lifeline since Sophia started and particularly through this past year. She supported her transition from breast to solids easily.
Sophia absolutely adores her and her whole family, asking every day including weekends is she going to Lynn's and she has developed such a wonderful bond with all her family.
Lynn does so much with the children, making development and learning fun, always different arts and crafts, baking, making all sorts to keep little hands busy. Pre covid, she would take them to different places from Rand Farm to Whisby to soft play and sensory play when the children were younger.
Lynn has also supported with occasional late nights if I've had to work an event and my husband was away for work. She is amazing and cannot recommend Lynn and her setting more highly.
You know your children will be safe, loved and cared for with Lynn.

Our eldest child attended Lynn’s setting for 2 years, only leaving to move on to pre-school. When our daughter arrived there was only one place I wanted her to go when I had to go back to work. Our daughter has thrived with Lynn. She has opportunities to explore and develop with the activities Lynn plans. Lynn is such a caring, compassionate and understanding lady and embraces her minded children into her family.

What would my 16 month old would say about Lynn?
"Lynn Lynn (what we affectionately call her) is my lovely childminder. From the moment mummy, daddy and me went to meet her we knew that she was the one! Mummy and daddy 'clicked' with her and I liked her straight away too. Lynn is friendly and caring and she was really nice when I was upset at leaving Mummy for the first few times. She comforted me and made me feel safe. I now love going and always have a fun time esp with my new friends! We go out to the park (but only when Mr Boris says we are allowed to and it is safe) and we have lots of fun at Lynn Lynn's house too. She has got to know me and my mummy and daddy and she keeps them updated with all the fun I have whilst I am there so that they see I am happy and ok! She has awesome toys too (my favourite is a pirate ship!) and lots of safe space for us to explore. Lynn Lynn has also put things in place for pick up and drop off to make sure everyone stays safe with Covid19 too! She is THE BEST!"
Knowing my son is cared for by Lynn is wonderful. I know he is happy as he toddles off straight away and then throughout the day I get updates of what he is doing and seeing his happy face makes me smile. Lynn is open and honest and always gives good advice. She has put protocols in place to protect from Covid19 and does everything she can to ensure everyone remains safe and well. She is amazing!

Lynn is truly an incredible childminder. When I had my eldest daughter, as you can imagine for a new young parent, finding a childminder seemed overwhelming. As soon as I met Lynn, saw her lovely home and setting I knew I found the right childminder. My eldest daughter thrived in Lynn's environment. Lynn accommodated to her fast learning development and all her other needs. It was lovely to see what she did every day! Lynn's communication is always great. You can feel comfortable about open conversations about what you can do to accommodate your children's needs if they have a special interest or anything else. When I had my second daughter, Lynn was amazing to help me with the transition from one child to two children. Again, Lynn had been a tremendous help with my second daughter who also thrived in her childminding environment. Lynn is a very passionate childminder and her children and family are really lovely. It feels like family, like a second home for your kids! I would definitely recommend her, as I think she is one of the best out there!

Lynn cared for my son Freddie for over 2 years and from the moment me and my husband met Lynn and her family we knew he would be in good hands.
She always had exciting and productive things planned each time he went, and it was a struggle to get him home sometimes!
Lynn put me at ease with her kind and professional manner and really helped play a part in the potty training too! (Thank you!)
Freddie absolutely loved every day spent here, and also with Lynn's children, he made a very special bond with them and I could really see how much he was progressing week on week.
I very highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for childcare.
Thank you for everything.

My daughter was with Lynn 2 years for full time. She loved going to her and always asked are we going there. Lynn provides high level of childminding, with lots of activities, fun, learning adequate to age of child. I have received support when my daughter struggled with transition from milk to hard food. Lynn’s care is very professional and she treats all children equally, with lovely manner. My daughter was happy with Lynn, having days full of play and crafts. I was sure my daughter in on good place as Lynn cares of children like for her own.

Our son has been in Lynn's setting for almost 2 years. He loves every day he goes there. Lynn always provides different activities as well as trips out into the community. Lynn has always made us feel at ease as parents especially in the early days and treats our son as part of her family. Lynn always has time to brief us on our son's day with her and has always been flexible and accommodating.
I can not recommend her highly enough.
