I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough if you are looking for wrap around school or full / part time care for your child(ren).

My Son (9) and Daughter (5) have been with Lisa since August 2014 for after school care three nights a week during term time only, with the occasional before school sessions, they both love going to Lisa’s where it is home from home environment.

When looking for a childminder it was important to my husband and I that our children could relax and chill out after having been at school all day. I haven’t been disappointed; Lisa gives them the opportunity to decide what they would like to do, more often than not they come home with something they have made at Lisa’s.

They both have dinner at Lisa’s after school, where they are given healthy and nutritional food, I have had no complaints from either my Son or Daughter about the food they are given – in fact I am told off by them if I collect them early and they haven’t yet had their dinner!

There have been occasions where I have had to ask Lisa to look after the children before school at a moments notice and she has always been able to assist. Recently when I was unwell I couldn’t have asked anymore of Lisa, the support she provided my husband, our children and I was up and above what I would expect of a childminder.

Our relationship is very positive and we work well together to ensure the children are happy. If Lisa is aware of anything that has bothered either of them during school or more recently when I was unwell, they are very comfortable talking with Lisa &/or Lee (Lisa’s husband), she shares this with my husband and I, so there is a joined up approach. Likewise if my husband or I are aware of anything upsetting the children we make Lisa aware just in case their behaviour is out of character and Lisa is prepared on how to handle them or even talk with them.

Lisa is very firm but fair with both my Son and Daughter and her approach mirrors how we are bringing our children up, to show respect to all and more importantly right from wrong.

We really couldn’t ask for a better childminder, both my son and daughter are made to feel part of the family and to date I haven’t had to fight with them to go to Lisa’s which is all that I can ask for – apart from the morning sessions, but that is just due to my Son not wanting to get up!

You wouldn’t be disappointed if you chose Lisa as your childminder.
