Lisa has looked after our daughter for over two years. She first started when she was 11 months old and settled in quickly to Lisa's warm family environment. The time has come for her now to move onto preschool but we will be incredibly sad to leave Lisa as she has been fantastic. Our daughter has been very happy and has loved her time there. We will miss her hugely but I'm sure we will keep in touch. Lisa is kind, patient and attentive to the children. They go to playgroups everyday and are always out and about. Lisa is incredibly safety conscious and indeed we have had no concerns at all about entrusting our daughter to her care. She is flexible and would often pick our daughter up in the mornings and drop her off at the end of the day if needed. We would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Lisa has taken care of our son since he was 11 months old, he’s now 3 and 3 months so the time has come for him to move on to Pre School. We feel sad to be saying goodbye to Lisa after all this time but we feel blessed to have found her in the first place. It made going back to work so much easier as I knew he was in a happy, carefree, warm and stable environment.
Lisa's house was/is definitely a home from home and I think my son even regarded her as a second mum! She has just the right balance of caring and nurturing while creating valuable boundaries and discipline too helping my son grow and prepare for preschool. She always takes the children out to playgroups so they socialize with other children as well as have having a huge amount of toys for home entertainment too. The summer time is especially lovely as she has a great safe and child friendly garden with a playhouse and a conservatory full of toys too. Sometimes when it was home time my son just wouldn’t want to leave, always a good sign!
Everyday she would send me photos and sometimes videos of what they were up to, its so nice to see them having fun while you are a work. You also get a detailed diary outlining the days activities and what they ate at meal times (always includes a healthy home cooked meal) etc.
Lisa has two teenage children who are also great with the kids, I really think my son will miss all the family but I am certain we will keep in touch and visit.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a child-minder, with over 28 years experience she’s been there seen it all when it comes to childcare. Nothing phases her and she’s extremely thorough, patient, fair, enthusiastic, accommodating to your needs and a genuinely nice person, someone you can trust and feel safe and reassured to leave your child with.

Lisa has been looking after my son since he was 17 months old. He settled very easily at a time of change as we were expecting a new addition. Lisa supported us all I had no hesitation in dropping him off. He eats and sleeps well there which is important to us with Lisa supporting the routine we follow at home. She always makes sure we have feedback on how the day has been.
The environment is a family home with a wide variety of toys. In the summer they are often out in the garden most afternoons. My son has got to know Lisa's son, daughter and husband and gets excited when he sees them as they have welcomed him into the family too!
Lisa is flexible and if we need extra hours she tries to accommodate it.
Having a childminder who we can really rely on and trust with our son is fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Lisa has been looking after my year-old daughter since she was six months old. Lisa has two decades of experience and I could not be happier with her childcare. I feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. Apart from the quality of care the extra something that she has is that she is a 'real' person and hers is a lovely family. Her two children (11 and 13) are a credit to her and make my daughter's days at their house more enjoyable when they come home from school/in the holidays, so any child looked after my her will be part of a family. She is a great cook and has a really nice, comfortable house with lots of interesting toys with play with - not cheap plastic toys but interesting toys she has gone to the bother of choosing from bring and buys. Some of Lisa's charges are more clingy than others and she is very kind and patient with all the children, will always pick them up and give them attention, and has an understanding of their unique needs. As a travel journalist and editor, my working hours can be erratic and I particularly appreciate how flexible she is, taking my daughter for extra days and extra hours. I have also been touched by her and her daughter selecting clothes for my baby from school sales, her dropping things off at my house that I've forgotten, and her dropping my daughter off and picking her up to help me out. I don't think I could find a better childminder.
