My Summary
About Me
Does your little one enjoy going to the park, play groups, libraries, soft play, cafes, see animals, visiting galleries and concerts? - Yes, we do.
Outdoor activities are what i enjoy doing with children. It is a win-win!!! I have recently moved from London (Sydenham) to Sittingbourne.
I show them lots of LOVE and LISTEN to show them that they matters alot, so that they can be CONFIDENT and GREAT in life. At the same time, i create BOUNDARIES for them so that our day can run smoothly and children feel safe and secure.
I am a registered childminder with up to 11 years of child minding experience and worked for a family as a nanny for 7 years in a part-time position during my studies. I am fun, bubbly and self-aware, with lots of passion for working with children. I have a degree in Sociology and a good knowledge and use of safeguarding practice, as I have undertaken several courses in this area.
I have a relatively good knowledge of child development and understand the aspects of development like separation/attachment.
Would you like your child to be in home atmosphere: going outside, going on adventure, sharing stories, eating healthily, singing all the way, being a free soul and learning? - Yes we do. This is what i love about being a registered childminder. Some of my interests are singing, going for walks, baking and the Arts. I plan my daily/weekly activities around these interests as well as other yearly activities.
I used to help in coordinating singing sessions at Sydenham library.
My home environment is stimulating, peaceful, and validating for children/babies through their development. There is direct access to nearby park and regularly attends other community set-up groups for support and to socialise. I have strong values children learning through play and encourage independent creativity and exploration while I remain a secure base.
I accept babies, 2 year olds, 3 year olds, 4 year olds before and after school are welcome too under government funding. Childcare vouchers are also accepted.
My Ofsted inspection grade is GOOD , April 2022
I am DBS checked.

Lizz is a brilliant childminder:)
We felt so lucky when we found Lizz, from the moment we met her we knew we wanted her to look after our 3 year old son:)
She is warm, friendly, supportive, enthusiastic, professional and fun.
Lizz used to take our 3 year old to the park, to playgroups, the library and the farm as well as doing lots of arts and crafts, messy play and dancing at home to name a few :)
Our son learnt lots of different skills with Lizz, we are very grateful for her:)
We would thoroughly recommend!!!

Thank you Haylie, It was a pleasure looking after your sweet and clever son. 🥰🥰🥰 I love my job so much that it's reflecting on all children in my setting.
Lizz is an exceptional childcare provider. She is loving, caring and very professional. She has cared for my two children for over 4 years and they both looked forward to going to the childminder every single day.
My daughter started with Lizz at 8 months old. She quickly settled in and excelled in all spheres. She is confident, secure and academically sound.
I have no reservations in recommending this childcare serve. Children are well looked after and safe! Parents and carers can leave them and feel at rest without worry or anxiety.
Highly recommend

Oh wow!!! this is amazing. Thank you so much dear. It was a pleasure looking after your children. After many years your children left my setting i always remember them because we had so much fun together. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I so much love my job. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I thoroughly recommend Lizz. She looked after our energetic 3 years old boy since January 2022 full-time. She also help us with our 6 (now 7) years old picking him up from the school. We were sad to hear that she is moving away, because we are going to miss her serene and loveable character.
Lizz was always attentive to the needs and circumstances of our two boys in her care. She shows commitment to provide a high standard childcare. She is patience and has a good sense of how to caring for my children. The little one told us about the fun he had in the park, in the stay and play sessions, the library and many other outdoor and indoor activities that Lizz organised. We notice that since our child started with Lizz, our 3-years-old’s development rocketed, he became chatterbox.
She provided a safe and secure environment. Lizz displays excellent communication skills and worked in partnership with us. She put children’s needs first and promote positive behaviour at all times. She gave us the peace of mind we needed.
She helped us offering flexible options that meet our family’s needs. I cannot thanked you enough for the help and the difference you made in our lives. We will miss you.

Thank you Sara for your brilliant review. I enjoyed teaching your children. Seeing them flourishing and developing well is an icing on the cake.
Lizz started looking after my children at a young age. My son was fifteen months and my daughter was four years old . She took care of them as if they were her children. Every time i went to pick them up my son didn’t want to leave. My youngest was the one who she looked after full time. I saw how much he learned from the experiences he was getting
from Lizz. I recommend that other parents should take their children at the same childminder as i want their children to have the same experience like what my children had. Lizz is very welcoming and polite. When you leave your children with her, you know that they are in well trusted and safe hands. I hope that other mums and dads will read this and be prompted to take their children to Lizz as it is a decision that i had no regrets making. Thank you

I am overwhelmed by your reviews. I love my Job so much that it is reflecting on all the children. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She is a blessing to my family, I remember when I used to see her in the park with the kids she cared for and I could sense the warmth and love she had for them.
My kids absolutely loves going and always goes in with a massive smile on their faces. For myself as a working parent, knowing that they are happy and being really well cared for is such a fantastic support.
Liz is very caring, and the environment is really stimulating and entertaining for all the children who attend the setting. She always take time to listen to the children read, offers support or any questions the children may have, going above and beyond to help and develop. At home my kids would tell me Aunt Lizzy cares about me and they are just 3&4.
I was really very lucky that lizz opened her door and made a positive impact in my children, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She offers a setting where children can really thrive in a kind and positive environment.
Honestly I am so sad she’s leaving, she’s been such an inspiration to me personally.
Lizz has always been professional, friendly, and regularly communicated with me.
Don’t hesitate Lizz is Family.
