Hi
I childmind Monday Tuesday and Wednesday all the year or just term time
I live on the borders of Lower Sydenham,Foresthill &Honor oak
A road just off Perry Hill.
The children I look after run into my house in the morning laughing and dont want to leave at the end of the day!
I try and make my setting a “Cosy Home from Home"
And create a warm loving fun place for them to be, so they can flourish and learn before heading off to nursery
I am a Mum and know 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 lotsof toys.
I feeI for the early years children learn best through play and from each other
I have excellent refs from previous parents of which some are on here to read.
I do home cooked meals and snacks
You will be sent about 4 pics of your child a day and I am on constant text chat to Parents who wish to text.
Your Baby will have their own Travel cot and room for Nap time
I child mind throughout the year.
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, but an average day would be about £59And 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 we
also have a play park at the end of the road.
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 wouId like to chat please text my mobile,(it is on here as I’m a gold member) during reasonable hours. have a consistent OFSTED grade" good" last one in august 2022
I can if needed also pick up and drop off if the hours work for us both

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
