Lesley Wyatt's Reviews

An excellent choice

It's always a big pressure to find someone to look after your children when both parents work full time. Our 2 children have not been with lesley and phil for long and my son particularly can be extremely clingy and usually takes a while to bond with new people. However, both children have settled extremely quickly and love going each day. They both love the extensive range of toys, as well as all the other children there to play with.
I already feel that both Lesley and Phil really care for my children and take time to play with them and help them to learn and progress. It is an added bonus for us that Phil has joined Lesley in childminding, and means that my son, who is already very taken with Phil, has a male role-model around as well as Lesley, to play with.

Highlights at Lesleys and Phil's are..
Daily diaries
Photos via whatsapp
Fun and laughter
Childrens' work valued and displayed in their home

All in all, a fantastic start and we couldn't have wished for more.

Thank you for the lovely review. We're also extremely pleased with how well and how quickly both children have settled, feels more like they've always been with us, definitely a part of our extended family :-)

A wonderful, happy and safe environment for childr

Like any new mother I was very apprehensive about leaving my little boy once I had to go back to work. My worries did not last for very long as after emailing Lesley she suggested we come over a few times beforehand for a cup of coffee and so Keaton could get used to the environment. I found Lesley to be open and friendly and my little boy took to her straight away. Every day we get a wonderful account in his diary of what he has been up to and pictures via Whatsapp. Since being with Lesley Keaton has come on leaps and bounds and I feel she is playing a very important part in my little boys development and care.

Thank you Kelly. Keaton has settled in so well and is like one of the family already x

Fab fab fab!

Going back to work after having a child is a massively daunting task and i thought I had my bases covered with childcare, however relatively last minute things fell through. I descided to contact Lesley - as you would need to be deaf living in sandhurst and not hear great things about her. Lesley was so calm and collected whilst I stressed about everything and she did everything she could to accomodate me and my daughter. We met and discussed my needs and Lesley just made everything so easy. We knew straight away it was the right descision.
My daughter just loves her time with Lesley and I couldn't ask for anything more. The whole family are loving, caring, fun and bubbly people - exactly who I would want my child around. Drop offs are no stress with everything taken in stride and pick ups are always met with smiles and a quick recap. More detail is then given in a daily diary. Children with Lesley are always seen to be happy, healthy and having fun.
Perfect - couldn't rave more!

Thanks Una, G is a delight and a pleasure to look after. :-) x x

Lovely Lesley

From the moment we met Lesley she's been a delight to work with - organised, friendly, responsible and, above all, so loving to our little girl. It's a huge source of relief for me that my daughter is so happy to be left with someone when I go to work and I never have to worry that she's having a fun time and being well looked after. Lesley's house is super clean and rammed full of toys, and her family are all charming. I couldn't recommend Lesley more highly.

From one family to another

My daughter is only 12 weeks old but having had sleepless nights worrying about the frightening task of having to leave her with a nursery or child minder when I go back to work, I decided to take the bull by the horns and start looking at my options.
Having seen so many profiles, Lesley's gave me that warm fuzzy feeling as it ticked all my boxes. I wanted a home from home experience for my daughter, with a safe playful environment that she could learn and flourish in. I also wanted someone with extensive experience and for them to have family values similar to mine.
Lesley immediately made me feel secure in this daunting process by answering my questions on email and suggesting we meet. I didn't feel pressured or nervous- just relieved that she understood my anxiety.
We met at Lesley's house and straight away I felt relaxed. Her home is her home, but has adequate play space for children of all ages. Lesley has all the relevant qualifications to look after any child.
My Husband and I have been back since to see Lesley and her family and we have agreed to meet up on a regular basis for coffee mornings prior to my return to work so I can ease gradually into leaving my daughter. This has been the cherry on the cake for me, as I didn't want to get to a week before my work start date and hand my child to a complete stranger.
I am so pleased to have found Lesley and really look forward to bonding with her and her family over the coming months.
Thank you x

Thank you so much. I'm really looking forward to working together to make sure your beautiful little daughter gets the best care and has the most fun she can possibly have, whilst ensuring you feel happy and secure and as worry free as possible when you go back to work :-) x x

not just good, fantastic!

I have just moved my two boys from a nursery setting to Lesley. Both the boys and myself have instantly taken to Lesley as she is warm, bubbly and down to earth. Her house is perfect for active and inquisitive children with plenty of variety and space for them to play and explore. My eldest is already treating it like home from home after only a few visits, and my youngest, who is at a slightly more nervous and clingy age, has also settled well. Lesley also provides a diary of the day for each child which is a lovely way for us to hear about their day. Cant recommend her highly enough!
