My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Lizzie, I live in a house on Epsom Downs. I have 3 children of my own aged 8,5 and 3. I am a qualified and council licensed Childminder with small ratios.
We have a large, safe and secure garden with a great range of toys, swings slides. We enjoy growing our own vegetables and the kids love to help and watch them grow.
I have a wide variety of resources to aid your child’s learning and development. I follow the EYFS guidelines to support this. We have different themes and activities each week.
We love to get out to local libraries, toddler groups, soft plays, hobbledown (I am a member) adventure walks etc.

Lizzie is such an intuitive, kind, caring and supportive childminder, my 2 sons ( 1 year apart) have been looked after by Lizzie for over 2 years - 3/4 days a week. Lizzie is very reliable and flexible, the boys absolutely adore her and her family and we all have such a lovely relationship. Lizzie has been so accommodating during the school holidays and I cannot recommend her enough. She always goes above and beyond, is full of very helpful and knowledge and makes the boys days such fun by visiting softplays, trips to the library, adventures outdoors and lots of summer fun in their beautiful garden and home. Thank you so much x
Overall
Lizzie looked after our little boy for a day or two a week for around a year before we moved area. We found her a complete natural with kids, very tuned in to their wavelengths and needs, resourceful, unflappable and always full of smiles. No hesitation in recommending.

Overall
Lizzie has been looking after my 5 yrs old for past 20 days and he has been so happy. He loves her and always come back happy. She is very kind and calm, my son is a fussy eater but lizzie made sure that he try new things with her daughter which worked really well. When i leave him with Lizzie for 3 hours in a day I feel very confident that he is in right hands.
I would definitely recommend Lizzie and would happily give her reference.

Communication
Lizzie has been working with us for two full days per week from Sept'17 until January'19. She has been in sole charge of our son (who was 3 when she started) together with her own daughter, which worked really well as they were similar age and enjoyed playing together and became best friends. During this time Lizzie has been wonderful- reliable, trustworthy, punctual, caring and loving. Lizzie has also been flexible when we needed extra hours, with prior arrangement.
Lizzie went the "the extra mile" - for example for couple of months before she started we had a few play dates so that they could get to know each other before she started, or getting our son little presents. She always has a smile on her face and positive attitude.
Unfortunately our work relationship came to an end due to our need for reduced hours as well as change in Lizzie's circumstances, and we will miss her and her daughter very much, but should our circumstances change we would be very happy to work with Lizzie again.

Overall
Lizzie has looked after my daughter age 4 and my son aged 2 at my home for a year now and unfortunately we are having to say goodbye as my daughter starts school and my son starts preschool. We will miss Lizzie very much as she is so caring and full of fun for my children. My children are always so excited when I tell them they will see Lizzie that day and it's easy to tell that they've had a lovely time with her.
As we work from home we've been able to see first hand what Lizzie and the children have been up to. Lizzie ensures the children take part in lots of activities like imaginary play, outdoor play, cake decorating, crafts including glueing and painting, story time and singing. They also go for regular trips to the park, feeding the ducks, softplay and the library.
Lizzie is able to be fun but also firm with my children ensuring that there is a correct level of discipline.
Lizzie brings her daughter Evie with her and it has been lovely for all 3 children to play together. It has taught my children to interact better with others, it has brought out the caring side in my daughter and allowed my son to understand how to behave nicely / gently around younger children.
All in all Lizzie has been a wonderful asset to our family this year and if circumstances weren't changing this September for my children with the start of school and preschool we would have 100% continued working with Lizzie. We will miss her very much.
Thank you Lizzie
