Our 3 years old daughter has been going to Lucie’s for nearly a year now and I am thrilled to share our wonderful experience. From the moment we found her, we felt incredibly lucky. Her warm-hearted and friendly nature made us all feel welcomed and safe. She is incredibly adaptable and accommodating, always willing to work with our schedule and needs, very reliable and excellent at communication.
Throughout the day, they engage in a variety of great learning activities in a wonderful homely environment. Whether it's exploring outdoors or enjoying creative indoor games, there's always something exciting happening. From yoga sessions to building houses and painting, her creativity knows no bounds. Regularly, we receive updates about their adventures and activities which we love receiving. My daughter loves the food that is provided, even if the pasta is naughty and jumps off the spoon.
Overall, Lucie’s provides a warm, friendly, family feel environment that we are grateful to be a part of. We highly recommend her to everyone and will be staying for as long as possible :)

Lucie is a great childminder and her setting is perfect for kids. My son started going to her from 2 years old and he loved it there. Lucie does great activities for kids, take them out to library so kids get use to reading books, crafts for motor skills and creativity development etc. My son loved playing with her children especially her youngest as they are a same age. We had to stop using her service as my son started Nursery but he still mentions about Lucie which I think is lovely.

My 3 year old daughter has been going to Lucie since she was 18 months old. She loves Lucie and her boys and is very excited for her days with Lucie and often cries when it’s not the childminding days. This shows me that my daughter feels so safe and loved which makes my life so much easier knowing that my child is happy! Dropping my daughter off is like dropping her off at an aunties house which is incredible because have a setting where it feels like a home away from home is just what I wanted.

Lucie is our after school childminder and she collects my son from school. My son absolutely adores Lucie, he built very strong connection with her and looks forward to afternoons with Lucie and the butterflies. Lucie helps him with building up his confidence and positive outlook on life. His afternoon is always well balanced and he is always happy when I collect him.
Lucie is very easy going, reliable and always willing to accommodate our needs. We hope she remains our childminder for many years to come.

I couldn’t recommend Lucie enough ! My daughter and I both absolutely love her. All children are welcomed into her amazing family instantly . She has always been so reliable and it has been a comfort having her look after my daughter.

I don't think would have enough words to recommend Lucie. She is looking for my son for over one year and it's been amazing. My son adores her and her boys and constantly talking about them. There are so lovely! And my boy doesn't wanna leave her space, it's that much he loves being with them. Lucie is kind, caring and thoughtful, very positive and full of energy and you can see from far that she loves looking for children. Always thinks and gets so many activities and surprises for children to make before special days/occasions. Lucie you are the best and I'm beyond grateful to have you looking after Alex.

I met Lucie a few years ago when I taught her oldest son in reception. From the moment I met her I knew she was a fabulous parent - all the other children in the class loved her and her son and she was also popular amongst the other parents. Whilst teaching her son, I became pregnant myself and Lucie was the one and only person I had in mind to care for my own son and when I finished my maternity leave.
Leaving Marley with Lucie has been the best decision I have ever made! Marley loved Lucie and is treated like a member of her family. We are vegetarian and she accommodates this with her meal plans - learning about the nutrition he needs as a non-meat eater and providing healthy and delicious food for him. The activities she plans for the children in her care are fun and engaging - they spend as much time as possible outside enjoying nature and that is important for us, we want Marley to be active and develop an appreciation for nature instead of staying inside. Lucie also takes the children to local playgroups, parks and museums - they are out adventuring all the time, learning about new places and people.
My partner and I are both experienced educators and would highly recommend Lucie as a childminder. We trust her completely and love her and her family like our own.

Lucie has been looking after my daughter since she was 11 months old (now 26 months old)
I have made the perfect choice. My daughter loves her setting and enjoys spending time with the boys everyday.
Daughter is also learning a lot through play. She is so far developing very well.
I can't be happier! Thank you Lucie x

Lucie runs an excellent childminder set up at Little Butterflies. My son (27.12.16) has been looked after by Lucie since her was 5 months old. She is caring, capable, energetic and organised. Always a positive person and I have no doubt that my son is loved and utterly cared for every day she looks after him. Lucie is always thinking ahead of engaging things to do with her children, and about their needs and development. She has supported Theo through changes in nap patterns, weaning, switching milk, and also babysits for us weekly (with my 3.5 year old too), doing double bedtime.
We moved my daughter from a nanny to nursery set up at 18 months, but we are so happy with Lucie we plan to keep my son with her childminders for at least another year :-)
Thanks so much Lucie, you are a star, keep up the amazing work xxx

Lucie is a wonderful person and definitely an amazing care provider. Very accommodating and can do whatever is best for your child. I did not get a chance to work with her as it was a bit far from our home but am sure any child would be happy and safe in her settings.
Good luck and keep doing the good work!

I am so thankful I was introduced to Lucie! She has watched my 8 month-old son on numerous occasions over the last few months and I have only positive things to say. She has the exact qualities I want in someone looking after my child: caring, trustworthy, and reliable. In addition, she is an excellent communicator. The first time I left my son, I was nervous but Lucie listened to my concerns, took them to heart and made me feel comfortable. She also sent me updates when I was out, which really helped me get through that first time away from him! I wish she lived closer because I would love to have her as a Childminder but it won't work with my commute. I am just thrilled to have found her!

Lucie has looked after my 2.5yr old daughter and 3 month old son (at the same time). She is kind, caring and extremely capable and organised. Her confidence and energy are great to see - even after some pretty long days. She is 100% hands on with creative playing and engaging my daughter - which is no easy job! Lucie asks questions when required, but also uses her initiative and experience to make sensible decisions even when I haven't been available to ask. I would have no hesitation in recommending her, and wish her every success with Little Butterflies at which I know she will go above and beyond to ensure all her charges are cared for in a loving and engaging environment at all times.

I've hired Lucie on a number of occasions to babysit my 11 month old. I have absolute confidence in her abilities to manage a child that isn't always easy to deal with. If I lived any closer to NW9 I would have sent my son to Little butterflies , but unfortunately needed a nursery closer by. I will continue to hire Lucie for babysitting services for the foreseeable future and highly recommend her as any type of children care provider.

Lucie has taken care of my children on and off when needed since they were babies, now they're 2 and 5. She is reliable, loyal, punctual, loving, bubbly, bright and positive. She is more than capable to take care of kids as she is a mum herself to two young children. I would have no problems leaving my children with Lucie and knowing they're in safe hands. I really can't recommend her highly enough. Any questions feel free to contact me anytime! Jess Dyer - jessiedyer@hotmail.co.uk
