Lovely Lizy

Reviewed

Lizy was a breath of fresh air at a time when I wasn’t sure I would find what I was looking for in a childcare setting.
After our first interactions I knew that Lizy holds the children in her care and their families at the heart of her business. You can expect someone who is thoughtful, professional and who will prioritise getting to know your child as an individual.
Now a year on, my son feels entirely happy and comfortable in Lizy’s home. Both of Lizy’s daughters are wonderful with the children in Lizy’s care and my son is very fond of the whole family.
Lizy has always demonstrated a strong understanding that no child (or family for that matter) are the same. This has meant that Lizy always communicates professionally and sensitively. We will often discuss my sons progress and development and I feel that Lizy is not only there to support my child, but also to support me as I will often ask for her advice and trust her judgement.
When we first met, Lizy shared with me that she has a genuine interest in child psychology and this is evident in her solid understanding of child development and she will often share updates of my son’s development and information about how she is/will support him, which I love as it helps to know how I can support his growth too. To help with development and learning opportunities, Lizy provides a wide variety of toys and has a lovely garden area which the children make great use of.
Further to above, Lizy uses the Famly app to communicate developmental steps as well as the basic information in regards to meals and naps etc, so I feel fully informed of my child’s days even when I can’t be with him.
Something that has always been important to me is that my child has a good variety of food and Lizy regularly provides healthy, home cooked meals and has given my son opportunities to try different foods. Between the meals and snacks, I know my son is offered a wide variety of food.
One of the best things about Lizy is that she conquers that difficult task of being both professional and personable. She is so organised and efficient that we all know what is going on and when and this is important when I am so busy with work myself, but she is also kind and thoughtful which has also meant that she has been understanding with personal circumstances not always going to plan.
Considering we have used other childcare settings, I couldn’t be happier with the care that my child receives in Lizy’s setting, but most importantly, my son is safe, secure and incredibly happy there.
