My 3 girls have been going to Lisa’s for before and after school childcare for over 4 years now and they all say ‘she’s the best’. They love going to see the whole family and they love Lisa. Their house is like a second home to them and they feel safe and happy there.
They love the little parties Lisa throws for them e.g. Halloween, Christmas etc and have fun at Lisa’s playing with the other children. They are always kept busy with activities and often come home with crafts they have made.
I feel 100% happy and comfortable leaving my children in Lisa’s care and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a trustworthy and reliable childminder.

We really enjoy the girls coming we have lots of fun and the parties are great from all of the children planning games food etc The girls are a big part of my little buddies and my extended minding family and i look forward to lots more fun and laughter this year thanks x
Lisa has looked after my almost 8 year old since she was under 1 years old, and looked after my older child for 10 years until she no longer needed childminder services. She is very reliable and trustworthy and my daughter really enjoys going and looks forward to it every week. As did my older child when she was attending little buddies!
Lisa provides a safe, educational and fun setting for children and ensures that they all feel that they belong. We feel very lucky to have Lisa as our childminder and would highly recommend her to any parents seeking a reliable, trustworthy childminder that their children will love attending.

Ive thouroughly enjoyed been a part of your girls busy learning lives and being part of, and celebrating their achievements throughout I am proud to have been their childminder for the last 10 years and a big thankyou to u both for working together with me and for us sharing such a good relationship, it makes it much easier just to do what i love doing , looking after all my buddies x
Lisa has looked after our now 5 year old son for 4 years, from the age of 1, and our 2 1/2 year old daughter also from the age of 1. We couldn’t have asked for a more flexible, open and caring person to have been involved in their lives. Lisa goes the extra mile and treats the children like an extended part of her lovely family, the setting is warm and stimulating, she puts a lot of thought and creativity into the activities and our children were always very happy to be dropped off there. She also sends lovely photos updates and creates a file of their development which is a great keepsake!!
Despite not being our catchment school we even sent our eldest to Town Field school nursery just so that they could both spend an extra year with Lisa. We sadly had to stop using Lisa recently because our eldest has started school in a different catchment area. Would highly recommend Lisa as a very patient, caring and flexible childminder, we could not have asked for better.
