My Summary
About Me
I live in Newton le willows, in a quiet cul-de-sac, very close to local primary schools, local public transport networks, play centres, parks and the library.

I have been in the childcare profession for over 25 years. I was employed as a nanny, on a full time basis, with no breaks between jobs. My last position ended as the children no longer needed care.

Any parents are anxious to hand their child over to a new care giver. Lisa put us right at ease by suggesting we have some get-to-know eachother sessions at a local playgroup. So our daughter had no problem settling in. I'd met a few childminders but Lisa was just outstanding in every aspect. Our daughter has been there for almost six months and her communication and social skills are constantly improving. We have a record of when she's eaten, bum change and how much sleep shes had and the activities for that day. We get lots of photos of all their exciting trips out. We literally can't imagine any one better to look after our little girl. Struck gold finding Lisa

Ever since our child started in Oct 2020 we've been really happy with the care Lisa provides. She's knowledgable, full of common sense and motivated to make sure there's always lots of great ways for the children to learn through experiences, both the play and interaction opportunities she creates and the mix of outings, events and local places they go to. We love that they get outside everyday, we get pictures and updates cos Lisa keeps in touch so well, and atm our child is so excited about their weekly library visits they proudly take the book back to swap that morning!
We're so glad we chose Lisa's Childminding, and feel lucky that she had space when we needed it.

Couldn't be happier with the care Lisa gives both of my children. My eldest is at school, lisa takes her to and picks her up from school and it is the highlight of her week! She started with Lisa from when she was 1 years old and it was the nest decision we ever made, she flourished in Lisa's calm and nurturing environment. Lisa now has my youngest and there was no question on where he would go. He absolutely adores Lisa and his friends and thriving just like his sister did. He is a very active little boy and he is kept busy and happy. They are always out and about exploring the local environment and to the parks. His favourite time of the week has to be Joe Jingles he always comes home singing away on a Monday evening!

After visiting many childminders we found Lisa and couldn't be happier. She's more than just a childminder, always on hand for any questions or advice, even on days when our child is not in her care. Lisa supports decisions we make as parents and encourages the same behaviours and routines in her setting. Our child's development has come on beyond belief since starting with Lisa and this is testament to the effort and care she puts in daily. The bond our child has with Lisa is more than we could have hoped for and we are truly grateful.

Our little girl was 13 months old when started at Lisa's in July last year and settled in pretty quickly. As we don't have relatives living in close proximity, she only used to Mummy and Daddy before so settling in without difficulty was a nice beginning and it became even better since.
Little munchkin loves going three times a week and she's well occupied; outdoors are always guaranteed just as well playtime at different settlements (e.g. Bent's Garden, soft play areas, indoor play centre, Jo's Jingles), arts and crafts (truly amazing prezzies for all occassions) outings (e.g. Salford fire engine show) and age appropriate education.
We try our best to provide our little one with healthy lifestyle choices and Lisa is a perfect match for that by providing yummy but healthy meals / snacks and promoting fun activities that require loads of movement.
Also our little daughter has always been a later achiever to reach milestones (crawling at 12, walking at 18 months) and developing in a bi-lingual environment but Lisa has always been accommodating to her needs and re-assuring towards us first time parents.
We are really happy with Lisa (and the family!); we feel the best choice made for our happy and bright little daughter (and ourselves). I can highly recommend Lisa's childminding service to parents who want a safe, friendly and stimulating environment for their child(ren).
