My daughter has been childminded by Lisa since she was 9 months old - she is now 7 1/2 years old.

Since day one, my daughter has thrived in Lisa’s home setting, after struggling at a nursery prior to this. Over the past 7 years, Lisa has taken my daughter on day to day outings, such as walking the dogs, to the library and to the shops in Midsomer Norton, keeping the structure of family living. As well as this, Lisa ensures that each and every occasion is celebrated throughout the year including; Easter, Ramadan and of course, pancake day!

Before my daughter started school, she would attend Lisa’s 4 days a week, all day. Currently, my daughter is both dropped off and picked up from school by Lisa, up to 4 days a week, and when it’s time to collect, my daughter is always finishing arts and crafts or playing out in the garden.

As quoted by my daughter “the best thing about Lisa’s house is everything. I play with my friends all the time and with all the toys, but I do help to clean them up, because that’s good manners”.

My daughter adores her time with Lisa, and as a parent, I believe that it’s an incredibly rare gift to be adored by every child in her care, and one that Lisa undoubtedly holds.
