2 March 2023
A recent inspection report highlights the strengths and areas for improvement of a local childminder. Children feel safe and secure in a nurturing environment that supports their development effectively. The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of early learning, particularly in communication skills. While parents express high satisfaction, opportunities to enhance children's cultural knowledge and understanding could be expanded. Professional development focused on identified weaknesses would further improve the overall quality of care and education provided.

My children love Lins!

5 stars

Lins has been fabulous with my two boys, looking after my 3 year old in the day and providing pick ups from primary school for my 6 year old.
Lins has been a lifesaver for us as a family as we were looking for someone who would be willing to provide ad hoc childminding, without the requirement for fixed hours each week.
My boys look forward to Lins days, and enjoy spending time at her house, playing with all the toys, interacting with the other children, and going on trips out. She has a lovely home and provides great food. My boys love her dog.
Lins is great at communicating with us as parents and sends us pictures of our children in her care.
I would recommend Lins!

They are fantastic boys and a credit to you both. I'm glad they enjoy their time here, they're so much fun, and thank you for the lovely review.

Lost without her

5 stars

Lins has looked after my daughter since she was about 4 years old and she will be 11 very soon.
I honestly would have been lost without her, she is always happy to help out and go the extra mile if it means the children she is caring for achieve the best.

Amazing lady

5 stars

Both of my children have been with Lins for years. (My oldest is autistic). Lins is absolutely fabulous. So kind and caring. She is very accomodating, my husband often works away and she is always flexible. My oldest has moved on to high school but my youngest loves Lins and going there before and after school. It is often quite a struggle to get her to leave as she is always having fun.Lins brings the personal touch to childminding and goes above and beyond for every child she looks after. She is also very supportive to me as a parent. I would highly reccomend Lins to any parent as her depth of knowledge/experience with children is fantastic.

Brilliant childminder

5 stars

Lindsay has been our childminder for the past 3 years. We have always been really happy with her service. Our girls love her and both settled in really quickly. Lindsay provides a home from home environment with lots of different activities to suit our children’s needs. She communicates brilliantly so we know what they have been doing and she goes above and beyond to make our childcare arrangements as easy as possible. Would recommend her and her lovely children to anyone.
