Elise

A caring childminder who goes above and beyond!

Elise has looked after our son for over a year and has taken wonderful care of him. Elise provides a safe and stimulating environment for children and ensures the children have excellent experiences in her care. Our son has loved creating lots of beautiful crafts with Elise and has brought home many keepsakes that we will treasure forever. Elise is amazing at her job and it is clear that she adores the children in her care. It is very reassuring as a parent to know that your child is being looked after by someone who truly cares about your little one. Elise’s communication is excellent and she provides regular updates about your child’s day. Our son has thoroughly enjoyed his time with Elise and will really miss her and his friends now that it is time to start nursery! We would recommend Elise to anyone looking for a welcoming ‘home from home’ experience for their child!

18 Yrs our Childminder and we are not done yet!

Elise is Childminder to our two daughters since they were tiny babies (6 & 8 months). Our girls cannot imagine live without Elise and her incredible family. Our 18 year old daughter still visits Elise regularly for a great gossip.
Elise has met each of their needs with huge professionalism but most importantly love and affection. They just love her to bits, as does she them. She has invested fully in these girls, loves them as her own and has flexed her service through thick and thin to allow us to progress our professional careers. No single ask is ever a problem. She is a phenomenal childminder, adores all of her children and ensures that they thrive individually in her care.
We are privileged to have found Elise and her family. We would highly recommend her personal, loving and professional service which has provided our girls with a warm and welcoming home away from home 💕

A fabulous, caring and trustworthy childminder!

Elise looked after my two children since they were 12 months old until they were 3 years old and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Elise made my return to work after maternity leave completely stress free, as I knew how much my children enjoyed their time with her. Elise is completely trustworthy, reliable and provides a safe environment in which my children thrived. They enjoyed days out and also lots of crafts and baking. We would have been lost without Elise’s help and hope she will be able to care for our third child soon also.

Wonderful Childminder

Elise has been taking wonderful care of my son since I returned to work. He has been going to her since he was 12 months old and clearly thoroughly enjoys being with her. Elise is always taking him out and about, either to the local toddler group, the park or on local walks, and when at home will be doing an activity such as baking or arts and crafts. She always sends me pictures of what they are getting up to and also gives me a full update of their day when I collect him in the evening.
Elise has years of experience and has given me invaluable advice at different milestones. She is attentive, kind and treats my son with love and care. I really feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Elise!

First Class Childcare

Both of my sons were with Elise from the age of 1 until they started nursery. She provides a wonderfully safe and caring home environment where both of my boys thrived. They enjoyed a wide variety of experiences during their time with Elise including arts and crafts, day trips and baking. I would absolutely recommend her service. I always felt happy leaving them in her care knowing they were in expert hands.

Love and Care

We required to find my DD childcare at short notice. We chose Elise on the basis of the very good Inspection Reports. We were not disappointed, in fact so much has pleasantly surprised us. Firstly, our DD has baked quite often and the outcome we have enjoyed tasting. Elise keeps us updated with photos and seeing our DD happily baking was a delight. Secondly, our DD has also been seen happily enjoying walks in the park with Elise's dog, painting and gardening, and enjoying the garden at Elise's house. Finally, our DD has verbally noted that she enjoys being looked after by Elise. If you are seeking a more private setting than a nursery, I would happily recommend Elise.

I wish there were more than 5 stars 😁

Elise has been a childminder for all 3 of our boys for several years now, and we couldn't do without her. She looks after our boys after school now, and during the holidays.

She's VERY reliable, and has never let us down - and quite honestly has gone above and beyond to help us out numerous times.

Elise is very caring to all the children, and manages to balance that with being very professional in her approach at the same time.

Our kids love her to. Nobody better in my book 👍

Model Childminder

Elise looked after my son over the summer holidays and it’s given him one of the best summers ever! She always has amazing activities planned for all the kids, makes sure that there are kids of the same age group around and makes them feel loved and cared for through all the fun. Elise is a pleasure to deal with, as are her whole family. My son has grown in confidence being in her care and will definitely want to be back with her again! Would recommend Elise to anyone as she looks after the kids like a parent would (not just like a government employee)- although I hope she doesn’t get too busy so we can’t work with her again!

Couldn't be happier 😀

Elise looks after our 3 boys, 2 after school, and one around his nursery.

Always happy to help, and willing to go the extra mile to make things work.

Our older boys go to Elise during the day on school holidays, and they always come home tired after another adventure!

Happy kids and parents is all I really need to say.

Home away from home, a cosy loving environment

Elise has taken care of my children for 11 years and I have nothing but fabulous feedback to provide. Elise and her family provide the most incredible loving and caring environment for children. Elise has had both my daughters from 6 months and they adore her. Elise provides a fun yet professional environment for children, loves them all individually and is a natural with kids with a wealth of experience. She is 100% reliable. We do not have family in the vicinity and Elise and co are like our extended family, flexible and trustworthy to help us out with all sorts of mid week pressures! We are eternally grateful to Elise and her beautiful family and would be delighted to provide a reference/chat to any family thinking about using her service.. it is second to none ?
