My daughter (5 months) is looked after by Lucy and she has been fantastic. My daughter is always really happy when she goes there, and Lucy keeps me updated with how she has been. Lucy has also been incredibly flexible with changing the hours she has had her while i’ve been adjusting to going back to work following maternity leave and figuring out what works best around my work hours. Really grateful for this & would deffo recommend :)

Since I met Lucy and her family I knew my daughter will be in good hands. I'm so glad I have found her as my daughter 's childminder as I was looking for one long time. She does a amazing job,she is very friendly and truly loving person. Lucy is taking good care of my daughter, and the little one really enjoys her time in there. Her setting is very clean and there is also lots of toys for kids to play with. Highly recommend 👌
