We now send our younger daughter to Lis, as well as our son. We've been extremely happy with Lis's work for the years that she has had our son now, but needless to say we're now just as happy with her looking after our daughter. There's a real benefit to sending siblings to a childminder rather than a nursery insofar as they get to play together all day. Our daughter settled much quicker than our son, I think because he was there with her, and we've also noticed big improvements in how they play together at home now compared to before our daughter was going. Much fewer arguments about sharing! I believe because they're used to sharing at Lis's, and this translates well to our home. Our son is still excited to go to Lis, telling him it's a "Lis day" is surely a good way to get him up and ready quickly! And he often asks at the weekend if he can go play with his friends at Lis's. We get lots of photos and videos through the day, and Lis always listens to our preferences and is very collaborative in her approach. She also accommodates plant based meals for our children. Frankly we'd pay double what she charges if we had to (but don't give her any ideas! Haha). Highly recommended
