My Experience
I have been a registered childminder since May 2011. I consistently get rated as GOOD in EVERY aspect and they always report on what strong bonds I have with the children I care for which I am very proud of. My last inspection was Oct 18. I have 3 sons of my own aged 23,19 and 8 years old and come from a large family with lots of nieces and nephews and just love playing with the kids. I have lots of experience with babies, toddles, pre school, junior school and senior school aged children. All children are different and I am happy and able to care for all their different needs. I provide a home from home environment.

I honestly can’t recommend Lyndsey enough. My little girl has been going to Lynsey’s for the last year and a half since she was 8 months old and she absolutely loves spending time with Lyndsey and her family. Lyndsey has played a massive part in my daughters development and they are always doing fun activities inside and outside the home. Lyndsey has a wonderful relationship with my daughter and treats her like one of her own. Lyndsey is always flexible in meeting our needs and it’s so nice to know my daughter is so settled with Lyndsey which takes the worry away from me whilst I have to work. Amazing childminder and would throughly recommend!

I cannot recommend Lyndsey enough! My daughter loved every minute spent with Lyndsey and her family. Lyndsey looked after my daughter from age 1 till age 3 (and we only left due to moving out of area) Lyndsey provided fantastic activities throughout the day and developed a brilliant, caring relationship with my daughter that helped my daughter develop in her confidence. The setting is truly home from home and Lyndsey was so helpful and flexible in meeting our needs. Fantastic childminder!!
