Lucy looked after both my children from 5 months old until they left nursery and went to school. She is caring, fun and creative. They always loved going to her house and learned so much from her. Lucy is an absolute whizz with craft stuff and always had a full programme for each term that fitted in with the seasons. Each year, we got beautiful books with photos and comments. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had Lucy as my childminder. My children had the best possible start and still look forward to seeing Lucy. She is also Brown Owl of the local Brownies so luckily my daughter still gets to see her (and so does my son when we drop off/pick up!). Her children are delightful too and often played with my children, adding to the whole family feel of her house. Lucy was always reliable. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! I am only disappointed that she does not live near to my children's school as otherwise I would definitely have her helping with the school run.
