I childmind all the year but can be flexible with school
Holidays

I live on the borders of Lower Sydenham,Foresthill &Honor oak just off Perry Hill.

The children I look after run into my house in the morning laughing and chatting and dont want to leave at the end of the day! they love coming to play and learn with their friends

I make my setting a “Cosy Home from Home"
this creates a warm ,loving and fun place for them to be, they then flourish and learn before heading off to nursery

I am a Mum and understand how hard it can be leaving your little one so I send a photo as soon as they are smiling so you can go to work happy !

I was a nanny for over a period of 15 years and then a" GOOD"Ofsted registered childminder for the last 23years. I have 2 children of my own, both now working

We live in a warm spacious house with a lovely garden, and lots of toys.

Your Baby will have their own Travel cot and separate room for Nap

I am flexible with hours and can do a slightly shorter or longer day within reason

I charge by the amount of hours you need rather than a flat daily rate, I take the government vouchers /or new funding .

I tend to look after children from when they are babies until they are 3.5 and eligible for nursery
We go to playgroups every morning to socialise and learn with different resources

In the afternoons when the weather allows we spend it in the garden with water play sandpit and mud kitchen .
We have a friendly rescue cat called Casper
The Children have lots of stimulation throughout the day in a structured routine, but also time to relax in a warm cosy environment.
If you would like to chat please text my mobile, during reasonable hours.
I have a consistent OFSTED grade" good" last one in august 2022


I can if needed also pick up and drop off from home if the hours work for us both

Wonderful caring childminder

5 stars

Lisa is amazing, we wish we had been able to have her look after all of our children! Our youngest has been going to Lisa since she was 18 months and is now going off to nursery - we will all be very sorry to say goodbye. Lisa provides a wonderfully warm, caring, homely setting with plenty of space for them to explore, and so many toys! Her garden is lovely and she sets up brilliant outdoor activities when the weather allows. They get out to playgroups so have a chance to socialise with other children, and do lots of lovely crafts at home with Lisa. She cooks delicious home cooked meals and provides ample snacks.
But most of all she is incredibly loving, caring and generous, giving each of them what they need on an individual level as well as ensuring they have fun playing all together. We would thoroughly recommend Lisa, and will miss her lots!

A Warm and Nurturing Home-Away-From-Home

5 stars

Our little boy joined Lisa’s care shortly after his first birthday and stayed with her until he was ready to confidently transition to pre-school just after turning three. During that time, Lisa and her family truly felt like an extension of our own, always offering warmth, cuddles, and kind words to our little one.

Lisa provides a cosy, welcoming, and home-like environment where children can feel secure and thrive. Her home has lots of space, both indoors and outdoors, for the children to explore and play.

Most mornings, the children attend playgroup, giving them the opportunity to socialise with a larger group. Afterwards, they return to Lisa’s house for some quieter time - a great balance that worked perfectly for our son.

Lisa consistently went above and beyond to ensure there were plenty of toys and activities tailored to each child’s developmental needs and interests - our boy especially loved the train set!

Her flexibility has been a blessing; she has always accommodated extra hours or days whenever possible. Even now, she continues to care for our son during holidays or unexpected pre-school closures, which we’re incredibly grateful for.

We wholeheartedly recommend Lisa - our son would too!

We feel so lucky to have found Lisa!

5 stars

We felt at ease leaving our little girl with Lisa from day one. She has such a warm and nurturing environment, an idyllic outdoor space, and her genuine care for each child is evident in everything she does.

She's kept us updated with photos of daily activities and sweet candids of the kids going about their day, which always look engaging and fun.

In the last 18 months our girl has gained so much confidence, made lovely friends, and grown ready for preschool! We would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to any parents looking for a home-from-home for their little ones.

A great experience for our daughter

5 stars

Our little girl had a wonderful time with Lisa. She started when she was only 11 months and settled in very quickly and was extremely happy there! We loved Lisa’s home as it was a home-away-from-home feel, with a beautiful garden and lots of space for the kids to play. I liked the set up as Lisa had 4 kids and in the morning she would take the kids out to meet up with other childminders, then back home for lunch. Our daughter was really happy and loved being with Lisa. If we have another one, we hope to come back again!!

Brilliant- Trusted with all 3 of my children

5 stars

Lisa has been a brilliant force in my children’s early lives. We love her, her family and her home.
It’s the perfect setting for little ones. Warm, inviting, with plenty of space and toys.
She works so hard to ensure they get to see the world daily too, rather than being cooped up in a nursery room, taking them to playgroups and the park, meeting with other children their age.

I highly recommend. And would snap up a place if I was brave/ mad enough to have a 4th.

My son thrived in Lisa's excellent care

5 stars

Lisa looked after my son from 1 until he went to school nursery aged 3 and 4 months. Lisa is a very experienced, thoughtful and reliable
childminder, my son has flourished in her care. Lisa really knows and understands my son and has made sure he is doing things that he loves, that he has been stretched, that his triumphs are celebrated and he has been supported to form deep friendships with other children in the setting. The environment is beautiful, food homemade and healthy and activities varied, imaginate and fun. I'm so grateful that we found Lisa and that my son had such a brilliant early years experience.

The best childminder we could ever have hoped for!

5 stars

Lisa is incredible! From the first day our daughter Rose was with her we never looked back. Not only is she wonderful with the babies/children, she is also a great support to the parents. I often asked her advice on things and with such a great wealth of experience she had great insight into basically everything! She has been doing childminding for so long that she has seen everything when it comes to babies/children.

Her home is the perfect setting for children; with a designated play area in the house with lots of toys and a really large garden for the children to run around, again with plenty of toys. It's a children's dream!

My daughter Rose started with Lisa when she was 11 months and so was in her care for nearly 2 years. Rose absolutely loved it and always said she loves Lisa (still does!) We have moved to Kent which is why we no longer are with Lisa and it was honestly one of the hardest things about the move; to stop Rose being in her care.

Lisa is extremely organised and provides updates throughout the day with pictures which is lovely. As well as this, she explains what they do in the day and what her actions will be in terms of the children's development. I had no idea there were 7 areas of development until Lisa shared this with me!

Lisa is very on top of keeping her home clean. Particularly this year with COVID-19 which has obviously required extra care in this area and takes a lot of time and energy to do so - it is something that I hugely appreciated.

In terms of food, I was always so impressed with what Lisa produced for the children. Always a nutritious meal with fruit and vegetables, as well as snacks mid morning and mid afternoon. At the end of the day, she would always let me know how much Rose ate which was always good to know and to be kept informed.

Overall, both me and my husband were utterly over the moon with Lisa as our daughter's childminder and would recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the children (and parents) and creates such a happy environment. She's a real gem. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Lisa for being the best!

Such a caring childminder

5 stars

How lucky we are to have found Lisa. She is kind, caring, brilliant with children, thoughtful, funny and very down-to-earth.

Lisa looked after our son from when he was 11 months to 2 years. He thrived in her care, and I watched as she cared for him as one of her own. She understands the minds of children so well, and really is tuned-in to their worlds and needs. In the summer her spacious (and beautiful!) garden is open to the children and I would often be sent pictures of my son running in bubbles, or playing in sand, or sat at a teddy bear's picnic. In the winter, they snuggle in her cosy house playing with endless toys. (If they're really lucky, they get to play in Lisa'a House Disco, with flashing lights and music!).

Lisa's days have a basic structure to them and the kids always get to go outside to a playgroup in the morning before heading back home for a home-cooked meal then a nap. The afternoons vary with toys, play, walks, quiet-time or garden-time. I was sent constant updates and always felt I could reach out to Lisa with questions. She is thoughtful and flexible and as a working mum she was a godsend and aways tried to make things as easy as possible.

My son adored being with Lisa, and still (a year after leaving) asks to go round to her house. She and I have become close friends - not something I would expect from a childminder - and I fully expect for Lisa to be in my little boy's life for a very long time.

Thank goodness we found Lisa

5 stars

I found the search for the right childcare setting for my daughter really hard. I was overwhelmed by choice and often distracted by things that I now realise are totally unimportant to me.

As soon as I walked into Lisa’s home, had a cup of tea, chat and saw a little boy getting a cuddle because he was upset, I knew her home was the right place for Sylvie.

She was 16months at the time. I wanted a place that felt warm, and somewhere she’d be
nurtured as though she was with family. And Lisa’s setting provided just that.

Sylvie was with Lisa until she was 3. We still see the family regularly. And I credit them for helping Sylvie become the lovely (most of the time!) little girl she is today.

Additionally I love the big spacious garden (that they spend all summer in, making dens, playing on trikes and drawing in chalk etc)
I love the fact that they get out and about to playgroups (rather than being stuck in the same room with the same toys day in day out.)
I love how flexible and accommodating Lisa is (to my slightly chaotic approach to life.)
And I love that I know I could always call and trust her with my girls if ever im in need. (I fully intend to send my second born to her).

Needless to say I would highly recommend Lisa if all the above is important to you.

Confident, professional, loving Lisa

5 stars

Lisa has had our son from age 2 - 3.5. He is shortly leaving her for pre-school. We've had lots of photos every day showing that he is stimulated, happy and comfortable in her setting, which is a wonderful home from home full of animals, toys and in the holidays, her own older children. Lisa's garden is lovely and the children have access to all sorts of activities in and out of the home.

Our son has some medical and developmental issues; Lisa was comfortable with these right from the start, showing how professional and capable she is. It was a relief to find someone like her when we didn't feel confident leaving Ray with just anybody. She has been really attentive to Ray's needs and has helped him overcome some of his fears. She's been really insightful and caring during transition periods and he settled well with her. All in all Lisa does a great job and we recommend her to the max. We are truly sad to move on but we intend to keep using Lisa for help between terms where possible.
